New Putter Company Swag Golf?

[Hokie2k5]

How's the feel on these putters? There is almost no milling on the face in the pics so I'd imagine they'd be pretty firm.

[jschwarb]

Seems like this company only makes headcovers for dutch bags to flip on ebay.

 

"I have a great idea, lets start a putter company but only make obnoxious headcovers in quantities of 20, once a month, and charge $100 each!"

 

I see about 5 different ones a day on a FB buy/sell/trade group. I don't think they're moving the needle much though.

 

Headcover prices are very reasonable. In the last month or so they've ranged from $56.78 to $120 -- and the $120s came with a $20 bill inside. And they're not quantities of 20, they're more like 50-100 with some exceptions. But the exceptions make it fun. Imagine buying a Scotty cover that 100 other people got, then opening the box to see you actually got a super-limited cover. That's Swag's "Specials."

 

I don't know what you mean by "moving the needle," they seem to have a business plan that they're sticking to. The fan base that I see is small but loyal, and the company (so far) isn't taking advantage of that by ramping up production and flooding the market. They seem pretty content to do what they're doing. And they embrace the fact that their stuff gets flipped, see the "flipper" covers. Pretty funny if you ask me.

In the words of the Shark Tank guys, I’m out.

 

I just don’t see anything all that interesting or differentiating here and for the guy who said ball markers ONLY $55, you must be smoking something funny.

 

Yup, not to hard to buy a Betti ball marker for $50. If, you try during their Hive release.

They make a nice putter. Nothing like raw carbon to roll it.

I busy...I don't see it... Nice raw carbon putter.

 

I noticed tour player likes raw finished on wedges...and putter.... have a good day.

They're very similar to the old SC putters from the 90's if you have rolled any of those. A bit softer due to the heavier weight. A really nice feeling, well balanced putter.

Awesome! You said thanks to Kristin Ping Man investors. Not Scotty Cameron!

[nova6868]

I think their Handsome Too head looks great. Currently not available though. I e-mailed them to ask some questions about the putter - they never e-mailed me back.

 

 

[5hort5tuff]

I understand they have a nice headshape and such, but i cant see what about this screams $600 to someone.

 

Not to mention the name...SWAG

[Opinder]

(Yelled) $600!!

Premium putters have definitely been increasing in value. It depends on how you value $600 though. These are fairly exclusive (100 of the model I own), extremely high quality putters made in the USA . The OEM's have hundreds of thousands of drivers manufactured overseas for pennies on the dollar and sell them at $600 every season promising us the latest and greatest.

Personally, my golf ho'ing dollars go to putters like this.

[third-times-a-charm]

I will say that SWAG is trying to fend off the bot purchase flippers and it's amazing. I'll give them that. Hilarious, too!

 

They're doing a hell of a lot more than Lamb has.

I really wanna know how many bots bought the cocktail cover at 400 lmao.

 

lamb has been trying more and more in recent releases to combat bots, but it can't be easy.

[newportbeach]

SWAG has also released putters on a much more consistent basis than Lamb.

No doubt in my mind Swag is outdoing Lamb. I'm pretty sure Swag owns four machines and is amongst only Swag, Bettinardi and Lamb to mill their own putters. Almost positive they are is also trying to bring 7+ head shapes to the market by the end of the year. They have putters readily available and head cover designs/quality are second to none. Plus they are out on the PGA Tour and in a bunch of tour players bags.

 

Tyson's designs are un-original, he takes forever to produce them, they cost a ridiculous amount, very little creativity. Not a fan. Have moved on from Lamb and am on the Swag train. Very excited to see what Swag has to come in the future.

A bunch on tour? Clue me in...

I dig the simpleness of the design, much like Stokes Gained, but not at 600... But. let me openly admit that I am cheap and look for deals on everything I own, but willing to pay for long term use quality.

Lol, yup. The same donuts been going for 2 years now. And the divot as well.

Pretty sure they have 6+ Web.com guys gaming the putter and have had a bag on PGA Tour putting greens for the last 4 weeks.

[Raiders]

simple putters. great headcover designs. reasonably priced compared to Cameron tour, Lamb, and high end Piretti. god awful name. wish them the absolute best of luck. the headcovers will keep folks interest. but outside of the millennial generation im not sure how many grown men are going to want anything that says SWAG on it. its a deal breaker for me. but i hope these guys make it. the putters they make look to be quality.

[Scotty1140]

That Anser 2 head looks sweet. But I agree with Raiders, awful name. Seriously.

[jschwarb]

They had quite the creative release yesterday. Had two colorways of limited (12 of each) "Roboflipper" covers at a price of $222.22. But as more sold, the price went UP -- $333.33, $444.44, finally at $555.55. Eventually they all sold, but you could feel the anguish through the screen over guys debating to spend $555 for a cover. Swag dangled a 15 percent Cyber Monday coupon so the diehards likely didn't pay full freight, but still, wow!

[nova6868]

$555 for a robot dolphin headcover? LOL. I can't tell if they are being funny or just trolling their customers. Maybe both.

 

 

[ChristopherMcDonald]

I would love to see a manufacturer come out with a clean soled putter soon. Not a fan of the milling on the bottom

I think it's both! Let's be honest, there's an absurdity to all this stuff. I'm not offended by the manufacturers getting in on the act.

Nope. No matter how many times I say it it still sounds absurdly stupid.

 

Wouldn’t give 10 cents for one. Each to their own. Whatever makes you happy I guess.

Well....Not if the requirement was that I had to actually use it.

I was so tempted by their 15% off code and the fact that had the Handsome Too in stock. But I just couldn't click the button and it was entirely down to the name. I can just envision all the distracting conversations on the green - "Hey, does that putter say SWAG on it? LOL"

 

[longball]

Did anyone figure out who owns Swag? Is it Venson?

 

Edit--Just found their about us page.

[longball]

When did Nick leave Bettinardi?
