Good question 'cause I've been wondering about those myself.

 

I was guessing that the machinest was trying to save some metal. That'd be one big block of material and most of it would be milled away.

 

True?

 

FWIW, the welded necks are not as appealing to me as a monolithic neck/head.

well yes you will see them on handmade putters because on a handmill you cannot mill a one piece anser head. most people like them for some reason, possibily because it shows craftsmanship. also large compaines to it to save time and for a cleaner look. tp mills does it because of milling limitations and most people like them.

It putts rather well actually. 2 putted 9 holes the other day with it....but regardless it's an example of well a person's taste for a putter?

LOL not sure actually but I love it. Tad Moore went on to Maxfli and utilized this design as a template for a new line of TM-x putters. BUT

....

 

Still don't like weld marks though.

;)

 

Peace.

Milling a one piece head with a neck/hosel is is possible and it is done by some of great artist in the putter making world...I believe Byron does it and Serge of Palombi putters does it(CNC),just to name a couple.... so yes it's possible...I does however require a lot more design programming....I've seen pics and I'll try to find one where out of one block of material two putters are milled with plumbers necks....Now as far as a handmade(no CNC) it would be extremely difficult and there probably would be alot of wasted material...As far as putters with welded necks go, if done by someone who has mastered the skill of welding and can lay down some sick beads the putters look beautiful IMO and it just adds another dimension of artistc value....Here's an example of a putter were the weld is done by someone who has mastered the skill.....

I could most likely enjoy the hell outta that putter in that particular pic from Lngnokr, the weld is very well done. It looks like some effort was made to minimize the impact of the weld noticeability. I have to state this with as much "correctness" as possible but, that weld in that pic means quality in the product and also confidence in design to my overall opinion of a any putter.

 

 

 

Peace.

I like a welded neck putter if the weld is done well. That Slighter posted is bad, as are several of his putters.

 

Lngnokr posted an example of a good neck weld.

do you mind explaining a bit more regarding and good and bad weld?

i'm not very familiar with weld necks so if you could tell us more that would be great

I've never cared for the look. Yuk.

 

Me too! I prefer the cleaner lines of the milled only.
