09 TP Mills Thursday PGA Merchandise Show

I think these putter look like the efforts of Cameron on LSD.
Busy and over worked. Yuck form me.

I understand where you're coming from with "busy". I personally don't like things overdone either. I see these Mills' differently though. They are all handstamped which is one of the main reasons I bought a 1310 MUD Soft Tail. They have all been attended to by one man. David Mills has his name on the putter and he has done all the work. There are Very Very few putter makers whom that can be said about.

Having read a lot of WITB's of users on a couple different forums & knowing that T.P.'s been around a while, it was nice to finally see what all the hubub's about. I have to 100% agree with herd's post...acid-trippin' Cameron, for sure. I like most of Cameron's work & particularly like the milled letters and the amazing finishes he uses (Black Pearl, the Teryliums, & my Lord the Damascus Steel putters were incredible) but all the hand stamping is just clutter and looks too grade-school to me.

Personally, I buy what I can afford to play & not just stare at, so I've yet to pick up a S.C., preferring to play my Kirk Curries, which to me are immaculate in hand milling and are handled by either Kirk or Rick (the owners) from start to finish. I do like the one piece head & hosel design but also prefer the adjustability of the 2 pc design of most KC's & they're far more affordable and 'clean' My avatar reflects my prototype Copper Brazos that puts like a dream.

I prefer the Betti's Scotty's and of course KC's to the T.P.'s. Thanks for the pics to confirm that I'm happy with what I got! I'm sure the T.P.'s putt great but they're definitely not for me....I do dig the copper 'soft tail' but could do without the 'black snow' dots and the Harley rip-off name
