Read an article about a new company called T Squared Putters from Buffalo, NY. Run by a 17yo kid who managed to mill a face balanced blade. His TS-713 is a face balanced blade but more of a mid-blade size. Prices range from $400-500 depending on what you want and get.

Never Compromise forged and milled. I believe the model is the Portofina. Absolutely gorgeously done putter if you can find one in good condition. As well done as anything you will pay hundreds more for.

 

The Portofino was milled and has a sight dot but it is not face balanced. Standard plumber's neck toe hang (4:30).

You at correct sir. My reading comprehension was not so good.

I also tried to find a face balaced putter with just a site dot and struck out. Instead, I decided to try a Ping Vault 2.0 ZB and after three months I couldn’t be happier.

 

For sure, I gamed the Ping Vault 2.0 ZB for a while but didn't last in the bag. Looks wise it was sexy as hell, but I was losing out on consistency with it.

Ive tried a few of Cameron’s long neck putters and the closest one to perfection is the 96 Scottydale short cup which I recently purchased w/c hangs at 3 o clock. The newer version circa 97’ XA Limited is at 3:30 while the Newport Crown Tei comes in to almost 4 if I remember. As for feel to me the XA is softer probably due to a higher cup hostel which stabilizes the face on impact, if that makes sense. No site dots on either but a quick rummage on my kids nail polish set does the thing. I can take snap shots for both if you like as I plan to sell the latter before my wife trips into one. Lol

Pics would be awesome, they sound cool!

I just picked up a Tad Moore Pro 1X. It's a milled face balanced blade similar to a Ping Anser X. No site dot but you should be able to add one. Some of the eBay prices are crazy but I picked a mint one for less than $100.

 

It has the Anser shape. I wish it had the Anser 2 head but the main thing is that it is face balanced and no sight line. Very hard to find as you can see.

After looking at that picture I pulled out this old beauty by RJB. Is amazing that alteration/designs less than a foot from the head would alter its balance (ie. S bend produce a heel heavy head, double bend = a face balance head). Haven’t tried that horizontal milling but may have heard it produce a true-er roll end to end, and may verify that personally in the future.

Thanks for the pic!

 

I picked up the Scotty CLN #2 and tried it out this weekend. I love the look at setup but couldn't roll it very well. I think the nickel plating is really throwing the feel off compared to what I'm used to, so now considering a refinish but not sure its worth it. Will try to practice some more with it probably

This has been the best I could find. Great looking putter and so clean. I'm actually liking it without the site dot.
