when was that? I am 145 and think I have had my putter at least 3 years now, completely forgotten now! it is still my pride and joy and John was shocked about how good condition it was last summer!

November of 2017 I believe. Mine look great as well. I continually rotate my 3 putters and religiously use Putter Butter on the heads.

so must have been 2018 then. I do love the Oxidado finish and wish I had gone that like my dad did with his putter. I use silicon spray on my carbon head and it has been great; the odd wet day here in Scotland pays havoc with the putters, having said that Houston weather wasn't very helpful either!

Oxidado is the one I use the least. Even on dry days the moisture in the greens still wears the finish but it looks great!

shafts are being pured… that delayed them a bit but I should have them soon

[Ripper17]

Anyone have any sense how quickly they will go thru the player numbers for the irons? Just curious when I will get that email.

Thanks!

Staying with the Srixon ZX7.  I have no real complaints with it.  

[snagy2000]

Their wedges are so good and I have no self control!

 

Dear Santa, 

 

I promise I've been a good boy.....

Satin Chrome 

I dont see any other finish options on the build sheet like the wedges so i assume that is the only finish option?  

 

 

[rackemroller]

Satin is currently the only option. I could be wrong but that was the only option offered to me. 

[cota0429]

They had the Japan version that had the chrome ones which I thought looked better.  But MT said most people request satin chrome so they will be producing that finish only.  The Japan ones were a limited edition before the final tweaks were done.

I would think you should get a call here shortly for irons.

Did you visit them again or do fitting by phone?

By phone.

I would assume if you wanted to go get the full iron fitting experience instead of a phone fitting, they could make it happen. I'm a believer in touching grass for a real in-depth fitting that might take a couple hours for one part of the bag. Artisan does it the right way, leaving no stone unturned.

Agree. I got to hit the irons at my wedge fitting in June. They were all awesome!

My son and I got fit for them back in June.  

[scott_Donald]

I stupidly keep looking at Tai's irons and it is making me think I will order some when I get my chance, I love my blueprints though!

 

Stupid thread!

[nova6868]

Love the 4-degree loft gaps throughout the set. 

 

[Robkingasu]

Fair to say player number 1150 will be in 2025? Hahaha

 

Cant wait!

It depends on how many of the players actually order irons - but when i was with them, they said they dont expect to do more than 250'ish sets per year at best. So yeah, if you are in the 1000+ club, you might be waiting 2 years or so unless they change the release strategy. I think a safe assumption is that 1 in 20 players might order a set given the price and that they are likely already playing irons.
