My custom in the works

Hometown Putters
So I finally broke down and placed an order for a custom putter. There are so many options and well respected people but after seeing another custom on this site by Charlie at Hometown Putters and was convinced that for this it was the best fit for me. He has been a pleasure to deal with and answered all my questions within 24 hours. After telling him what I was looking for and getting some pics on CAD, he started the milling late last week. Here are the specs and some pics of where its at now. A special thanks again to Charlie. I will try to post updated pics as I get them and finished product. I was also debating having the Fighting Illini's Old Logo (which was "The Chief" pic), but decided that I am way too impatient to wait for the extra time needed for engraving

The Putter:
Modified 331(squareback-like) w/ increased heel to toe length (around 4.1-.2)
Length 33"
Lie Angle - 70*
Loft - 4*
Neck: Plumbers
Weight - 365g-375g
Double Sight Line widely spaced 2.5 cm
Grip - Orange Iomic Midsize
Stamping - HTP in Cavity, Weight and "The Chief" on Sole w/ orange
paint fill on all stamps.
Torched blue finish on carbon steel.

Pics of CAD design


And here are some rough milled pics. I am real excited for this baby to be done. I really like the squareback design but I wanted a putter that was a little longer heel to toe, hence this stick. Let me know what you think and again a HUGE thanks to Charlie for making this happen, he couldn't have been nicer or more prompt.

Here are some updated pics of the putter in the works, what's left is welding the neck, the blue torched finish, and stamping (and of course shafting/grip). I am super excited to get this bad boy. It is very similar to squareback, but longer heel to toe and carbon steel. Thanks again to Charlie of Hometown putters who has been spectacular to deal with.

Here are some pics of the putter ground and sanded.

Yeah, you really should check out hometown putters, Charlie was great to work with and just look at some of his putters on his website (their is a flow neck where the putter is a deep blue and the neck has a gold tint to it just f__ing beatiful!).
Thanks again to him for the great work and quick turn around time. (3.5 weeks from deciding on design)
