Another Slighter Re-Creation!

Bonecracker · March 15, 2007

Purchased this Dave Curry/Big Oak Havana on Flee-Bay last year for about $70.00 bucks. It was a little beat up and had some dings. This is an older model that Dave made three or four years ago with sight dot. I liked it becasuse it had no sight lines! I sent it to Tom and had him refinish the putter and add the more durable black finish from the brushed silver finish. Throw in a floating face with new stamping of sorts and there you have it, my new putter! I will add before and after pictures!!!

Nice! I like seeing Big Oaks on here! How do you like the sound slot?

Bonecracker · March 15, 2007

To be honest, I do not have putter yet! It is on is way home as we speak!! Tom just sent me the pictures to get me all pumped up!! I have a Slighter Tacoma with sound slot and love it. I was talking over the changes we made to this putter and we decided to go with the sound slot. I will give a report when putter arrives!!

Thanks

Nice job!!

The Havana is a real quality putter - really puts a true roll on the ball. Let us Know how the sound slot works out, normally you loose about 5g with the beaching process.

Where are the pictures of the sole? Cannot see the beach face.

It's there, just above the upside down City/State/Zip.

Oh, I see. I thought the nickel plated pictures was the redo, not the original. Oops, I am blind. (cool)

Very nice. I love the big oak havana. Didnt know they come in satin finish as well. Do give us your thoughts about the sound slot on the havana when you get it.

This is one of Dave's earlier models with a sight dot vs the two lines most people have on there Havana! Since I live down the street from Dave's shop, I get to see and putt with alot of his creations! I have been looking for this putter for some time and like I said before, found it on E-bay! I have a few friends who have had there Havana with the satin finish for 5 or 6 years, so I knew what I was looking for!

To be honest, Dave called me one day and told me it was on E-bay!!!! Thanks again DAVE!!
