"Waiting for a putter?

I will share this here in hopes of you guys helping to spread the word. Once the new machine gets here, we will have one mill for putters and one for accessories. We will be able to constantly turn out accessories and limited run hardware. The goal is to start offering monthly and bi monthly putter releases by the masters. Obviously it will start before then, but with the PGA show and everything else, it will be tough to get the numbers I want. The goal is to have 5 models: 2 blades, a wide blade, half mallet and full mallet. Each model will be partially customizable. my goal now is to offer 50(ish) putters per month, and hopefully get closer to 100 by the end of the year. I know that's not a lot in relation to the demand, but I think those numbers will keep us super busy, and keep the quality high. For those of you who have been waiting for a while, your time is coming. I just wanted to share the direction with you guys, so you know what's up. Thanks "

 

This confirms what I have been saying all along. He didn't have the ability to make putters because the machine was being tied up with accessories "most" of the time. It truly has nothing to do with him just not wanting to build putters and taking it extremely slow.

 

You can look at it from the other side and say he absolutely wanted to take it slow. If he didn't he could have gotten another milling machine prior.

You do understand that HASS cnc machines are $200k+ and since they built it for him it's likely even more as it looks like it was purchased instead of leased.

 

He likely couldn't afford two machines before.

I'm not even really sure what you're trying to accomplish here. But good job, you were correct, gold star for you bud! :good:

Sure he could. Any bank would have given him the money. He also has another business as well. Securing capital would have been incredibly easy

I'm excited to eventually see some pictures of putters so hopefully the senseless arguing will go away.

Again, reading what you want to read. He is attempting to meet demand. There is obvious demand for the markers and tools given how releases have gone, and the secondary market.

He is maxxing out his capacity to make stuff that people want to buy.

Would more putters be ideal? Sure, but the rate he can turn those out and make ONE person happy, versus a dozen or so with a marker, is still meeting demand. Unfortunately there is more of that than supply hence the new machine.

 

You seem to have all the answers and are a Betti fan. I think Betti has his own thread. Just keep buying Bob and move on. You have obviously made your decision about TL.

Its not senseless, but it is repetitive. Nothing wrong with disagreeing or discussing differing viewpoints.

But some people (Kaexo) have to be the smartest people in the room and want to convince everyone of something. What? I don't know.

[ruffellprefley]

from now on I'm just gonna keep scrolling until I see pics.

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” Often attributed to Albert Einstein and certainly relevant here.

Where the hell is Raider to post some damn pics when you need him lol

[BottleCap]

You guys act like creative ideas, clean stamps, and awesome milling can only be done good by Tyson and there is no one close to his quality. Bobby has been there and doing that probably before Tyson was even born.

 

He also produces more than 16 every 3 months and has no problem selling out the Hive releases every time for a premium price.

 

Does Tyson even have the ability to make any unique heads or is he limited to the only 3?

 

Maybe you don't understand the process Tyson Lamb goes through.

 

Maybe to get the 16, he starts off with 160 that comes off the CNC machine.

 

Tyson Lamb then has to hand finish the putters in some sort of hand grinding and puffing process. He is human, so at the end of this process some of the putter heads aren't up to his standard. So now he's left with 100 putters.

 

Next step is engraving and stamping. He is human, so at the end of this process maybe he's not happy with how the stamping looks, maybe crooked, some letters are double stamped, so he pulls more putter heads that don't meet his level of quality. So now he's left with 40 putter heads.

 

Next step is paint-fill, Tyson Lamb is good with this, so no problem here, but maybe he's just not happy with some of his final products, so he pulls those, so at the end he's left with 25 putters, 16 to sell, the rest go to his friends and family.

hahaha i am just sitting back reading. letting people that think Tyson's CNC machine cost 200k make a fool of themselves. it puts a strange smile on my face when people type things and sound like they know what they are talking about....when they have no idea.

 

ive said it many times that not all putter makers are created equal. SC and Tyson shape and finish a putter better then anyone (Betti is up there on many of his as well but not all). other makers do things differently. Mann makes more handmade putters. Piretti needs someone in house that knows how to stamp as all his are too shallow (probably not clamping them properly to let the head take the full hit).

 

im an expert in two things. Playing poker and collecting putters. thats it. im an ok golfer, a terrible husband, and an above average dad.

 

for anyone hating on Tyson i say hate away. you are single handily help grow his brand....thanks (as a collector youre making my stuff worth more)

i hope people keep typing. it makes the day go by faster reading some nonsense. i cant even begin to engage it because my dad always told me "you cant fix stupid"

yes and no. tyson has literally 50 putters at his shop 70-90% finished. he releases things when they are done. he can make putters whenever he wants. obviously when the machine is running accessories its not running putters, but when an accessory is done after an hour or two a putter or two could go in. Tyson believes in quality control. if its not perfect its not going out. he released 17 putters and sold out in under 3 minutes. if it was all about the money dont you think he would be banging out more flat sticks? calculated release. and guess what his business has grown 600% in the past 12 months. i think the way hes doing things is working out just as planned.....but what do i know?

 

100 employees btw! thats a big company! what the name of your roofing company? im assuming youre in florida as well. not enough work in the northeast for that kind of help needed

[misplacedtexan83]

There is the big guy.. thanks Raider for the more inside information some of us do not have.

 

Thanks bud

Amazing lol

[mmhayden13]

LOL..... At least he is honest! Santo when you guys come for Lamb Jam I live in the area if there just so happens to be any kinda poker activities I would love to join as I think im not to shabby either (cool)

 

But its been awesome to see the growth. My first ever purchase was a Moe Mummy, and we now see what those are selling for I had thoughts about selling mine but just cannot bring myself to get rid of my first ever purchase. As we see with every release this stuff goes fast, so Tyson is doing something right.

I get that you're trying to impress just how meticulous Tyson is, but any manufacturer with a realization rate of 10% is not going to be making putters very long... I don't care how much you're selling those 16 for! Your example actually discredits him as it represents more of an incompetent machinist as opposed to a quality-control perfectionist.

 

He is intentionally limiting supply, and it's working. I think his work speaks for itself - it is stunning - and I'm happy for all the folks fortunate enough to own one of his putters. I doubt I will ever be in that group though as I don't really collect any kind of premium goods... if I were to purchase a $1k+ putter it would probably be an 009 because I know it will hold its value.

And a lamb doesn't hold it's value? I beg to differ after seeing the market over the last month.

2018 will be interesting for sure!

Since we’re talking putters...

 

I really like this putter.

[Big Ben]

My family has owned a CNC shop for over 40yrs with many machines running hours and hours each day. These machines are precise and when programmed properly create very tight tolerances. What exactly does this magic machine do that any other CNC operator couldn't accomplish? Making a putter IS NOT rocket science trust me. There's just nothing at all special about making a simple putter...BB

[PeanutsDaddy]

from now on I'm just gonna keep scrolling until I see pics.

 

A recipe for eye strain and thumb soreness unfortunately.

Then go ahead and build a boutique putter brand then, Big Ben. Sounds easy enough, right?

[Big Ben]

I have zero interest in developing a putter brand but if we wanted too the nuts and bolts of designing the actual putter would be simple as pie. Sorry just stating the facts...BB

I depends on the machine.

 

Scotty Cameron a little while back upgraded his CNC machines from 3 to 5 axis, and that allowed him to put more detail/curves or whatever into his products. I think this is what allowed him to go from the 009 to the 009 Masterful.

 

Maybe Tyson Lamb has a 7 axis machine?

[Big Ben]

All the axis would accomplish is less fixture setup time. Angles can be accomplished either way. Putters are not a very complex shape in comparison to many components produced via CAD/CAM. I personally do not work in the tool and die industry but I've been around the shop for many years. Trust me these machines can do some amazing stuff! I'm not degrading anyone or anything just saying a putter is not a difficult build. BB

[Big Ben]

I took this off the net..."Milling machines usually have at least three, X, Y, and Z, and can have more rotary axes. A five axis milling machine is one that has three linear axes and two rotary, allowing the cutter to operate in a full 180º hemisphere and sometimes more". I could be wrong but 5 axis is the most available. I will ask my cousin tomorrow and report back...BB

Sounds easy. I'll pay you $2K for a putter if you can match the results that Tyson puts out. Since it'll take you no time at all, you'll have no more than $500 into the job. That's a 4x ROI. No brainer. DM me and we'll get the job started.

Yeah, I think this is why Tyson Lamb says his work at his age is better than Scotty Cameron at the same age. Scotty only had access to a 3 axis machine and Tyson Lamb started with the 5 axis is how i'd explain it.
