For starters, the materials used in this $15,000 putter are not your typical stainless steels or aluminum that is used in the majority of today's putters. This Bruce Sizemore designed and hand made collectible is comprised of 37 individual layers of gold, silver and copper which form a solid billet (Mokume Gane) that is then CNC Milled to less than 1/0000th an inch tolerances.
Mokume Gane dates back to the 1600's and looked upon as true art form. The term means "wood grain". No two pieces are the same. Each piece is unique and referred to by Sizemore as "a privilege of one".
The grip is made of fine silver and copper hand formed over different form stakes silver soldered together with silver butt caps and collets. The grip is finished off with a hand formed silver wire signature.
Every so often I post a an update request for Bruce Sizemore, wondering if he still designs and builds his signature putters. Don't know where he landed, or if he opened his own studio after his short stint with SuperStroke as head designer, before they decided to work exclusively with grips. Any info would be appreciated.
