I've been following him since I got back into golf a few years ago. He does some really nice work and some really...less than nice work. But his simple and clean putters really show off his talent in CAD and milling. I've been looking on eBay, the BST, etc for one of his putters in LH. I've only come across 1 and it was a really old model, but his putters are something I want to try, just don't want to drop custom price on it without trying first. 

Ok I have these two Lefty that are the only two I have ever seen on Ebay over the last 12 years.  One I purchased over 10 years ago (plumber neck) and the other (flow neck) I got out bid a few years ago only to acquire here in a trade.  The plumber neck 9303 was designed in 1993 right when milled putters were making more of a tour presents (ie the Bettinardi and Scotty early days) and Kevin Burns was right there too.  Burns did the first copper inserts ever (some hidden) showing off is skills and the quality is felt as a solid heavier putter than the common Ping cast putter of the time.  KB focused on more the custom fitting a putter and never became the household name like the some two guy.  Still best milled putters I have ever rolled to this day!  Not flashy and all business.  I have talked with KB and I respect that he actually is the one making the putters with his name on it.  Now his son is part of the team.

My long neck KB putter. 345g. Tungsten toe weight stainless heel weight. Torched gss body. Face balanced. Feels pretty buttery but comes off with good pace and is not dead at impact. Milling is amazing.

So does he press various weight in all the 9305 model to achieve various head weights and to keep the look the same?

Yes, all the weights are pressed in. The heavier tungsten weight is out on the toe to move the center gravity to the sweet spot.

That thing is perfect!!!!

Somewhere in the Burns pipeline I have one of these being made. A few interesting features that I don’t currently own.  Really looking forward to rolling the head.

The team has been a pleasure to work with so far. True professionals.

KB Golf is doing a limited run of 9320 (basically, Anser 2 style) on their Facebook page. I thought the shape is really well done. 

[jh19]

It's great, I wish I had the funds! It was based off of some Nike prototypes they did.

Nice, seems like his prices are very good for the quality you get if you're going pretty simple which it looks like you did. 

[Rocketman1301]

Does anybody know anything about the S-18 model.

That's nice, simple, clean and nothing over the top. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.

[jh19]

Thanks man! The whole process could not have gone better! I might have to order another!

Added this to the collection recently. Anyone know Dirtman since this used to belong to him? 😂
