***Xenon Golf Co. Handmade CuNi KUrve w/ Mokume Neck***

[Tie Webb]

Well I couldn't hold out any longer and wound up acquiring my second (#5) of the limited run of 6 Copper Nickel putters. Here is a link to #1 in case you are interested. http://www.golfwrx.c...l-84x-in-cu-ni/

 

This putter is a winner on so many levels.

 

Aesthetics: The chocolate brown color of the torched Cu Ni head paired with the Mokume C-Plow (Centered - plumber/flow) neck is simply gorgeous. Add the Shingled cavity and flowing lines from any angle and this putter becomes a work of art. If that’s not enough, it is fitted with one of the new XGC Signature Peanut Brittle Ostrich grips, a polished brass shaft-band and a First Run (1 of 6) head cover to top it off. The subtle, non-paint-filled stamping, including the Xenon element stamp on the face (with serial number not atomic number), get the message across but do not take any focus away from the real star, the neck.

 

Design / Functionality: This head shape, The KUrve, is the culmination of a collaborative design effort between Lumpy and Bruce Rearick. The natural alignment aides – i.e. heel to toe length = the width of the hole, cavity = width of the ball, produce a very clean, non-distracting view from address that is simple to aim. The versatile C-Plow neck allows for a free flowing, perfectly natural looking, 1/2 shaft (or whatever you desire) offset plumbers neck. A very well thought out design element from Lump, especially for the guys that can't get used to a shaft-over-hosel attachment. The Shingled cavity adds a cool antique appearance, but I found it also helps to concentrate my focus directly behind the ball when at address. Nice touch!

 

Brief Review: I received the putter last Friday and I had it out on Sunday morning for its first 18 holes so I will follow up with more feedback as I have some to share. My initial thought was that the putter sets up very easily. I tend to fight with putters at address sometimes when I’m trying to get comfortable with my aim/stance etc. before beginning my backstroke. What I found with this putter was that I could choose my spot, sole the putter, grip it, tweak the aim a touch and stroke. No hesitation. At 350 grams, it is noticeably lighter than my previous few putters which took me a few holes to get accustomed to, but at the same time my distance control was pretty good right from the start. By the end of the round I was very confident that I could start the putt along my chosen line and I had the speed dialed in as well. I wound up with one of my better putting rounds of the year.

 

Every putter that comes from “The Shack” is a true one-of-a-kind and a clear example of the passion Lumpy has for his craft. I think this one received a particularly large piece of Lumpy’s heart & soul.

Beautiful. That neck is amazing, and the fact that it can be seen from the sole is extra special.
I love how nicely the colors compliment each other. Congrats Lee
