Carbon putters. I'm impressed.

[jtj74]

Today was a damn fine mail day. I designed and ordered this 12 days ago from Carbon putters. Thats quick service. It's a raw finish so it will patina hence the "rust buckets" stamped in the cavity. This thing is dead sexy.

They're local to me and I've visited their shop. They make really nice putters , congrats on the new stick.

 

[jtj74]

I have to travel to Denver several times a year for work. Or at least they used to before everybody got Coronavirus. Next time I head over there I'm going to drop in their shop and check it out.

[High Draws Low Fades]

Sweet putter! I just ordered one Monday, but have yet to hear anything on their end except an order confirmation. I'm trying to change the finish from my order. Did you have any back and forth communication with them?

[MattM97]

Very nice, how the feel on it?

Also didn't know they're taking on customs unless you did it to one of their stock items.

[jtj74]

I did but oddly enough it was on Facebook messenger. I found that was the easiest way to get a hold of them. I never tried by phone though. Perhaps that may work.

[jtj74]

I haven't rolled it enough to comment on overall feel but it does feel nice on my I door green.

 

I picked this model out of their stock heads on the prototype page so I think it qualified to customize.

[MattM97]

Thanks, will look for reviews once you get a bit more use from it.

Ok gotcha, I knew before you could do full customization but not it's kinda semi customization to get putters in the mail faster.

[High Draws Low Fades]

Thanks! I’ll give that a try.

[Chadwickog]

Nice putter, I've had two from them in the past, they make a good stick

[Dirkalan]

That’s a beauty. Congrats

[LionGolfer]

Looks a very nice flat stick. Congrats.

These guys don't answer emails or enquiries to their own contact page?

Got my Carbon putter. Always wanted a simple Newport 2 style with a pronounced tri-sole. Carbon putters did an awesome job! Pictures don’t do it justice.

This is like putter porn, the shape, grip, finish, heck of a putter

They make nice putters. I have Ringo wide model, and this weekend my Ringo long neck arrived, except it's not a fu**ing long neck and face milling is not what it supposed to be. It took two months to ship as well. So... I don't know how to feel about them. On one hand they make nice putters, on other I think they suck as a business. Just be aware it may take a while for your putter to ship.

[Egobblewobble]

They definitely make nice putters I had a Duke for a little bit but it had a big ding on the top line and it drove me nuts haha

[Gator5]

I’m also thinking about ordering one but having some issues with website getting to custom options and other concerns in this post about shipping time, etc. I want an 009 look and feel and these look as close as any others for the price. Not sure what to do? 

[NNJ111]

Just got a Black Oxide slant neck Holliday prototype with all paint fill removed. Looks and feels absolutely amazing.
 

Love the different options re: milling on the face - the light milling combined with the weight and toe hang of this makes it somehow somewhat similar (in terms of weight, hang, and feel) to my small-slant Spider X, but in a blade not mallet form, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Looks good. I’m looking at ordering one also. How long did it take to get this? Do you know what carbon steel they use? 1018? 8620? Does it feel hard or soft? Thanks

they are only shipping, but I live in Denver, so with usps I received it the day after they removed the paint fill and assembled the shaft and grip. 3 days total from order to door. I was buying a ready-built prototype head though.

 

I’m not 100% sure of the type of carbon steel but the feel is very nice. For me it’s perfect. Mine is not deeply-milled and has very light milling, which technically makes it “firmer,” but I would call the feel more “responsive” before I called it firm. It still feels soft, but you can feel the ball during the stroke.
 

As a comparison I have a Yamada turtle which has deeper milling and it feels butter soft, but you can kinda lose the feel of the ball on perfectly centered hits, which are almost too smooth. I love this putter too but wanted something a bit firmer and lighter. Either way, now I will have choices when my putting starts to suck.
 

I know Carbon does different levels of milling on a number of models, so you’d want to go with your preference

Ok thanks for the info. I’m leaning toward the Holliday raw or black. Maybe long neck.

Yes I like the American one. Are they Velcro or magnetic?

unfortunately velcro...it’s my only complaint, but I’ll survive 

 

I believe they also have a coupon code running now, or they did when I bought

I got the revolver head cover with mine and it's magnetic. A really nice head cover.

Too bad about the customer service issues. I have been looking at the Ringo wide - how do you like it? Anything you would compare it to?

I would compare it to a small mallet putter. It's compact heel to toe (compared to other bladed putters I have), which I like a lot. But it's still longer than my Cleveland Classic 6 mallet. It makes my new Ringo "long neck" look huge by comparison! It is stainless steel and flat face milling so it has that firmer feel as well, but I like it. I don't have any other wide blade type putters so can't compare to those types.

FYI just checked, mine is 1018. They left me a note about care and qualities of the steel which was a nice touch.

[Sniperman]

How’s the feel on these putters?  On a scale of 1-10, 10 bring softest insert, where would it fall under?
