Chris's Putter Collection

[choeppner]

My Customs

Hey Guys,

Had some people asking about my collection. I have really shrunk my collection back ALOT. I'm really happy at where it is right now though :) Now at least the majority of my putters get to actually roll the ball some instead of spending their life on the rack.

Only ones not pictured righht now are a MACHINE M6, a Byron 007 a Custom HOG Superline and some retails in the closet.

Sorry about the quality of the pics. Sun is really not wanting to work with me today


First Putter - MACHINE M1A Fixer Garage Putter in Aluminum Bronze. This one has the hand hammered peening, melted bumpers, antique pre worn patina. Hosel is a custom Dave for me to use my Aerotech shaft in.








Second Putter - MACHINE M1A Test Putter. This one is 1018 Carbon with a Nickel Plate and a Experimental Finish. Neck is a Torched Round Hand Bent Hosel. Love the sole on this putter. She can really get some cool hues depending on the light :)










Third Putter - MACHINE M2A Converter Garage putter with a 303 Stainless head and a 303 Stainless Double Fat Back Nibble Cut Flange with Wave Cut Milling. Thiis one has been finished in a gold torch finish :)








4th Putter - MACHINE M2A Converter. Head is Billet Copper, Flange is a FatBack in 303 Stainless with a gold torch finish :)







5th Putter - MACHINE M1A Fixer in Aluminum Bronze with Heel Closer Weight and Modular Centershaft







6th Putter - MACHINE M1A Fixer in 1018 Carbon with Hot Salts Gun Metal Bue Finish :)







7th Putter - MACHINE M2A Converter with a Copper Plated 1018 Carbon Head and a 303 Stainless Fat Back Flange in gold torch. Neck is the Disco Ball Hand Bent Hosel :)








8th Putter - MACHINE M3 in a Electric Blue Finish.








9th Putter - Dave Cuirry Big Oak Prototype









10th Putter - Bron 008X TCB Putter. This putter will never leave my collection as it was a given to me by a great group of members here :)







11th Putter - Serge Deschamps Blade. I gave this one a high gloss polish just to be different. LOL

Great putters Chris!

How is the hot salts gun blue durability wise?

[choeppner]

Hey Jon,

It is actually surprising how durable that one is. All I do is wipe it down and keep it dry and I haven't had any problems

Chris,
I love your collection more and more every time I see pics of it. You have the cream of the crop IMO and you definitely have quality over quantity

[choeppner]

Well Guys,

 

The wife just surprised me tonight with a new photo studio setup for the house that I have been wanting, so I decided to celebrate by taking new pics :):):)

 

What do yall think about these? I'm still fine tuning the setup and getting the settings on the camera tweaked.

Cool collection Chris! Your wife did very well w/ the new "photo studio". The pics really came out great.

I really like your Byron, you got some good friends. That has the best looking finish on it.

That Dale head 9, is that a Byron mini w/ copper plating?

[choeppner]

The Dale head 9 was a earlier model. I want to say this one is MgBz

Thanks

-Chris

[TimeToFly]

i love that blue finish. never seen one like that before

[c6969w]

do you sell any of these?

[w8liftr]

New pics look good Chris. Is that a light box setup or something different?

[BParis]

Chris, you have some beautiful putters, and that new camera studio setup really enhances the pic quality. You should give the wife a big smooch for it!

Quick question... any Machine mini's in the works? I don't remember ever seeing any pics.

Cheers!
Bill

Hey Chris,

Don't know if this has already been addressed, but what is the significance of 2/28/08 on that S&D.

[D~Rock]

every single one of those putters pictured are beautiful.

I don't sell any of my personal collection.

Tommy. She got me the following:
PROMASTER ® SystemPro Portable Shooting Kit

Features:

The new PROMASTER SystemPRO Portable Shooting Kit includes 2 high intensity quartz lights with retractable stands, a heavy duty camera stand and 4 backgrounds which fit neatly into storage compartments and the whole set-up folds up into a handy travel carrier. The size of the
lighting box is 16” x 16” x 16” – large enough for most collectible items.

Bill,

Currently have no MACHINE Mini's in the works. I know you will love more of the 2010 release models though
