Timmeh24 that Byron looks great. What's stamped on the face and what finish does it have? Carbon or stainless?
[/quote]
It looks like a matte blue oil finish gettin' all old, oxidized, and dirty. I think I'm one of the few that like that finish more after it "browns out" than when it's new.
[/quote]

Yeah, I like the way it looks. I will probably clean it up at some point but for now I kind of like seeing how the finish is changing over time.

Amazing contributions as always, Tai. A few thoughts:[list=1]
[*]Love the toolbox... but really, who doesn't?
[*]That's one hell of a "natural habitat"
[*]The cavity stamping on the black longneck is one of my favorites... love the look of that putter!
[*]That darn cross has always looked funky to me, though it's a bit better on the smaller flange of an 009.
[*]I want that plumbers neck D029 in my life!
[/list]
What else can I say? The only things you are missing, for this to be considered a [i]real [/i]collection, are a Tory Burch box, some sprinkled tees and someone else's car.


Cheers,

Mike

Amazing putters Tai thanks for sharing. Only problem would be with so many diamond tipped golden arrows how do you pick which to use.

Tai drops the mic and walks off...

 

Unreal collection! I still can't get over the Method "Proto Tai". The amount of attention that Dave Franklin gave to shaping the bumpers is amazing. They are absolutely perfect.

 

And don't even get me started on the stainless 009.

[newportbeach]

Agreed Josh! Wish I could find a stainless 009 like that.

Another view of my 009 from the registry A003412.

My Byron DH89. I have a black oxide DH89 with the tai treatment (Thanks Tai) on the way too now. They're addicting thats for sure!

Tai can you please explain the differences between a standard 009 head and the Tool Box 009 head?

[/quote]

In a nutshell, "tool box" heads are raw heads that Scotty has in a tool box that can only be found at the Gallery in Encinitas. They are usually raw one-off's in various configurations. The one was bought at an event I host down in Carlsbad and Scotty had the idea of how this one turned out during a round of golf. Each one is a bit different. This is a standard 009 that has a mid length neck with a little extra hand work, so not your typical 009 release. I also have a Studio Proto SSS 350g that was from the tool box as well, has a unique look to it as well.

Guys this is an update on my dalehead putter I am getting from Tom Sligher. Here is the finished head, should be getting it hand ons by the end of the week. Also have Byron working on a DH89 GSS for me. Since I have this putter arriving I need something to dream about...DH89 GSS....

i will definitely get some out in the real world pics posted once it has arrived. I have really wanted a "torched bronze" look for a while. I hope that it's as good as i have imagined.

Couple of 009's
[/quote] S., weld neck, tungsten, crown cavity, 009 cavity midsize ..... I mean it has everything you could really want. The blank toe is purposely waiting for you to seal the deal and get G.N. stamped on it. Congrats Greg!!! The bottom one isn't so bad either!

Another one from LaMont.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As with any piece of fine art, pictures really don't do this putter justice. It's simply stunning.

Mikey, that eraser is the sickest putter I have seen on here in a while. I love the milling, the fish stamp on toe, and best of all the "prohibited for tour use" is best stamping EVER!!!!!!

God I am so sick of "tour use only" crap that is just so cheesy and lame. Well done dude, awesome flatstick!!!!!!!

That MannKrafted MA/66 is out of the park!

[newportbeach]

Agreed - that ManKrafted MA/66 is outstanding. Anyone have a side by side comparison with a MA/66 and an 009 or DH89?

[RobClarke]

I am still waiting for this to arrive, but EXCITED!!!!

Thanks! I can get some side by side pictures of my MA/66 and Rats if you'd like (Super Rat and Tour Rat). The Rats are very similar to the 009 but not exact ( http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/497559-tour-rat-vs-009/ ).

[newportbeach]

That would be great rebby thanks. The rat is basically an 009 with removable weights IMO.

Sorry, pictures didn't turn out great, I was in a hurry. Let me know if you'd like to see anymore.

 

Pictures include my Scotty Cameron Tour Rat, my Scotty Cameron Super Rat, and my Mann Krafted MA/66.

 

 

 

 

 

[newportbeach]

Thanks for the pics. That helps especially the address top line one. Looks like the MA/66 has a thicker top line than the others.

[/quote]

It does. That was actually the first thing that I noticed when I got my MA/66 in hand. It didn't look right to me at first but it's certainly growing on me. I'm sure that LaMont could make it narrower if it really bothered a person.

With interpretations of this putter catching on like wild fire, I thought it would be a good idea to have a place anyone can go to look at Dalehead style putters from all manufactures.

This way, anyone who is interested in this type of putter, or just cares to admire them, has a one-stop-shop, if you will. It will also be easier for people to compare and contrast the differences between models from different makers.

Please post photos of your favorite Dalehead Anser inspired putters in this thread, whether you own the putter or not. This would include:[list]
[*]Original Dalehead Anser
[*]Other Ping Anser iterations
[*]Byron Morgan DH89
[*]Scotty Cameron 009/Newport/Tour Rat
[*]Odyssey #1
[*]Bettinardi BB0
[*]Nike 006
[*]MACHINE M10
[*]Kari Lajosi DD201
[*]Mannkrafted MA/66
[*]Kingston KP1
[*]Piretti Potenza
[*]Kenny Giannini G1
[*]SeeMore DB4
[/list]
Plus any other putter that I failed to mention in the list above.

Let's see how many gorgeous Dalehead inspired putters we can shine the spotlight on!


Cheers,

Mike

Figured you be the one to ask,

I have been around golf long enough to know all about Ping clubs, but for some reason I just do not know why it is called the Dalehead...please do tell
