Drew, your collection of the '02 styled putters and the TP Mills handmades are outstanding. I especially love the 1964-65 Wilson 8802 long step you have. That putter appears to me mint. Absolutely incredible considering that putter is 35 years old.

I am going pseudo retro in my putter. I am gaming my TP Mills Heritage that David made for me last year.

Those 8802s are outstanding....

Thanks, Sam. It is in great shape. Trying to find that one a new home.

Don't worry Drew, you will find it a home. I am certain that there are people who will jump at the chance to own a 1964 8802 in mint condition. Best of luck.

I have a set of Mizuno 135 Persimmon woods same as Nick Faldo used in the 80`s

Very nice collection. While not in the same class as your handmades, attached are a few pictures of an old Spaulding TPM III that served me well many years ago. These "thin shafted" putters still feel great.

[drewspin]

I agree - the pencil shafts feel great!
