[JustTrying2BAwesome]

Just sent in the request for my first custom Machine! Can't tell you how excited I am. I will be adding to the putterporn in this thread.

[Gator5]

Love the look of this putter! Can someone PM me with ballpark cost of something like this? Thanks.

Thanks for all the great comments everyone!

Here's a simple, clean MACHINE putter packed with modern features:

This is an M10 Adjuster, in 1018 Carbon Steel, with Hot Salts Gunmetal Blue finish. It's paired here with a medium short plumber neck. A single sight line on the topline. Head weight is 353 grams as shown with steel weights which are adjustable up or down using light aluminum or heavier Tungsten weights. It can be further customized, fit and adjusted with Delta Mods to change the loft, lie and toe hang.

This bad boy is available for immediate play.

Thanks for stopping by!

Best,

-Dave Billings

[DB MACHINE]

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for all the great comments and posts.

So, I was tinkering around in the shop on Saturday, and came up with the following new flange option, sort of a frankenstein, morph or mash-up - it fits either the M8 / M9 head, or the M11 heads.

No doubt everyone can tell where the inspiration comes from - I had a Ping B-60 when I was living in So Cal and first started in the golf industry right out of college. I loved that putter, but it was a little on the light side, and the topline like a knife edge, especially these days by today's more modern standards.

I hand ground the back of a No 5 ScoopBack flange to make this prototype, and then hand finished it. I've always thought this was a sculptural design, and now I respect it even more after working on my own version.

It's also cool to pair it with different heads and necks, especially as it really changes the look, the toe hang and the way the putter swings. With the M8 / M9 head, the hosel port all the way back by the heel creates more toe hang than the original B-60. The Plumber neck shown here creates a 45% / 4:30 clock face toe hang. A long plumber neck creates approx. 3:30 toe hang, more similar to the original.

I'm calling this Prototype DB-62 in honor of the original, with a few of my own touches on it.

Hope you enjoy the pics!

All the best,

-Dave

That is very sleek looking! You're going to make me order a second putter before my first one is even done!!!

What would you be painting on these? They look good to me!

[chickenpotpie]

Dave, are you guys still doing fittings at your facility? Might be coming that way soon, and would love to stop and check out a Megalodon in person!

[choeppner]

We are definitely still doing fittings at our facility All we ask is that you call and schedule

Hope life has been treating you great.

Thanks

With the forecast of [b][size=5]-12[/size][/b] the next two days, this thread and the hope of seeing pictures of my putter on here might keep me from going off the deep end!!!!!

OK, next up is a RestoMod of Billet Copper M10 Mini 1 of 1 (one of only 5 M10 Minis made).

The owner needed a refinish (few small dings), a fresh look and wanted to try a new neck with slightly different specs and also experiment with the Delta Mods…*

So here is M10 Mini Billet Copper 1 of 1 RestoMod with Disco Ball Hosel in lightly polished 303 stainless, and a new Experimental Hot Sauce Patina. Fit here with 1 degree Delta Mod set at 1 degree flat. He's getting more Delta Mods in square (toe hang adjustment only), 0.5 degree change, 1 and 2 degrees of change. We also increased the head weight to 360 grams with Tungsten weights and a heavier hosel.

Hope you enjoy the photos!

I have already purchased and updated my Machine with the Delta Mod. I finalized on 2* flatter and 4* loft. I couldn't be happier! I've have had putters adjusted in the past but once the putter was bent it was never the same. I play some courses with very hairy greens and others that are lightning fast, now I can just change the loft to suit the green speed in 2 minutes and I'm ready to go. Machine owners jump on the opportunity to test it out for yourselves (Try it, You might Like it)!

[mmaloney23]

I definitely agree with all the golfers here about the great customer service.

I just finalized my order and Jim Vincent was helping me. These guys have the patience of a saint. I must have changed my minds 10 times and wrote countles emails over 4 weeks or more and Jim was always helpful and underatanding. My OCD can drive me nuts.

In the end I am getting exactly what I want and can't wait to start seeing pictures in the coming weeks.

M2A converter, copper medallion, copper spacer, pill cut plumbers neck, heavy back blade, 3 sightlines. Raw 303 finish with high polish face and sole. With copper paintfill on sightline and face stamps, agressive vmg, And a salty grip with limited edition headcover.

Can't wait. Thanks aging Jim and the crew at Machine for building me what I know is going to be an awesome putter.

[j.a.]

This putter is a M2A Converter, with Custom Mokume Gane Face Insert

Hope you enjoy!

This is the most amazing face I ever seen in a putter. The insert is seamless, beautiful, it was put in there with such a precision. Stunning job Dave!
