Wow. You are one lucky dude

Thank you! I really can't describe how appreciative I am to own this putter. To say it is very special to me, would be a huge understatement!

Here is a macro shot of the grooves, amongst the relentless rumors of them being paint, I'm not sure this will pacify the skeptics, but this is the face of my Rory Method 006.

You can call them "faux" grooves.. BUT there are still grooves filled with Polymer, and NOT paint :) I can definitely feel the effects the grooves have on the ball and the speed the ball comes off the face with. There was definitely a learning curve when I first got it, it was tough for me to pick up the speed compared to my 009.

Was it not Tiger's putter that was sporting "faux grooves", as in painted on?
That's how I remember Rory describing Tiger's putter at their " private invitational" in Asia, last year.

There's a whole thread about it on here.

And you can call them grooves and not "faux" grooves but the fact of the matter is they're different then retail. Like you said yourself there is a learning curve associated with these grooves. Now take that to the tour. I'm sure by filling the grooves more, making them part faux, part groove, or all faux grooves will help tremendously with lessoning the "learning curve"

Exactly, regardless.. there are still grooves there and not paint. Just doing my part to add substance to what I base my feedback regarding this putter on so other can see it for themselves.

I do love the way the Method feels - when using the Lethal, it feels really soft, when using the 20Xi-X, it makes it tolerable :tongue:

Other way around. Rory's putter, not tigers. As far as we know, tiger still games the retail grooves. No ones grooves are painted, no matter how many times people here say they are.

Hey Tai, I see on the spec sheet that the putter head is 360g. Is that the weight of Rory's putter or is that just your specified weight?
[/quote]

I think Rory's is a little lighter, maybe closer to 350. I wanted mine between 355 and 360 if I could get it, and didn't want the addition of the weights in the bottom (which was also an option).

With the pleading and begging to get Nike to release an 006 like this it is time for another bump in this thread.

Absolutely beautiful putter! And hey with the amount of Nike shoes I own :busted_cop: at least give me a chance to own something just like this please :smilie_nike:

Just wanted to give a HUGE shot out to David Franklin and everyone at The Oven for Rory's huge major win today with the Method. I remember when leaving the Oven how much I was rooting for Rory and Tiger to get a Major win with the Method for all the people behind them at Nike. What incredible playing by Rory, and phenomenal putting all week. It would be awesome to see Rory take the Jug back to the Oven, much like Phil did with Callaway. :smilie_nike::drinks:

The grooves in my Method Core look like this, yep, in the insert like they put the polymetal and then milled it.

In my 006 Midnight it's the opposite. The milling is on the metal and not on the polymetal.

Milling pattern on the Core and Midnight are similar to the Unitized Neo I have whereas the pattern on the Proto 006 is similar to the SC 009.

Tai, how were you chosen from golfwrx to go to the oven? somehow, i don't remember hearing about a contest or anything, so what was it that got you and the other wrx'ers the dream fitting of a lifetime. (specifically, my dream)

Not sure the specific criteria. I have been doing the best I can to add meaningful/unbiased content and reviews to this site for the past 7 years. I am beyond appreciative for the opportunity and I hope that I represented GolfWRX in the best light while I was there and upon my return (hence this thread).

Tai I hope you land one of the soon to be released 006 Prototypes (that is if you're interested in one since you already have a holy grail). It would be fun and informative to see your putter compared to the limited release.
