This is an ongoing theme with all of these makers. Whatever timeframe they quote you, just triple it and you won’t be disappointed. Unless it’s Olson, apparently, then just assume it will be a year and you’ll finally get a putter you didn’t order.

 

This is very true. To be honest I donr expect anything until our season here is over.  All these makers take longer than they quote.  

 

I'm not certain how much handwork goes into one of these, but this can often be huge consumption of time.

Brendan has been very good with communication , so I’m good with the delay. As long as makers are up front with their customers I think most people are pretty reasonable.

Brendan is the man with communication.

@PeanutsDaddy how do you like the pyramid milling?

Limited sample size (4 rounds).

 

I am really fond of the head. Pyramid milling is the real deal. Puts a nice roll on the ball. Some commented that they found the milling too soft, I have not found that at all. I can tell where I’m striking the ball on the face. Sound is pleasing. 
 

I chose this milling as it was unlike any of the 30+ putters I own and I am happy that I did. That said, I’m a believer that my stroke on any given day ultimately determines the outcome. If I’m rolling the ball well I make putts (of all lengths) and if I’m not then the results reflect that.  
 

I’m set to play early tomorrow and the Burns is in the bag so that says something.

Got an email from Brendan today on an update which is nice cause I didn't have to bug him for one. He said the 9320s are on the mill right now, then 9309s followed by 9306s so I could still be within that 12 week window quoted when I paid or just over. I did ask if they expect any delays to that 12 week window I was given. If it's close or bang on I'll be happy, I sadly haven't been playing much lately so not like I'm missing out not having it.

My KB arrived 🔥 

[MattM97]

@ckay that's a beauty, love the 9305 look.

 

So a few more emails with Brendan and he said they are on track with that 8-12 week turn around so I should expect my putter to be done in 4 weeks so on the mill in 3? If not they'll let me know which I do appreciate, even if delayed a bit longer he said they'll let me know. 

 

Once they get back to milling these 2 piece heads I'm sure the turn around will drop in time.

Looks really nice. So clean and simple. Similar to what I'll be going with I think. 

[Mr. Grumpy]

I got an email about the 9305 LN stock drop but that site page has remained empty as far as I can see, drop was supposed to be on the 24th. 

I dig your LN @ckay, so clean!

From what I can see that drop happened and sold out in a few minutes. I think there were only 3 putters.

They disappeared in less than five minutes.

Reached out to the Burns boys last week and started an order. This could be a slippery slope for me, I can see myself with a few before too long, lol. Psyched to get the first one in!

What did you order?

9306 with a plumbers neck. Opted for the standard milled face versus the pyramid face. Most likely will opt for a full face pyramid finish on the next one 😬

[5hort5tuff]

I thought about getting standard milling, but figured I may aswell go with something that was designed to help put a good roll on the ball.  Kudos to them for developing something unique for a boutique maker.  I ended up going with the pyramid milling in the end.

Just placed an order today for a 9304 flow neck with diamond milling. Opted for a double site line in the flange like his old models.

Stay patient, it's worth the wait! 😮

[MattM97]

I'm coming up on week 12 this week, another member said he was at 16 weeks. Kinda hope it doesn't go too much longer, I don't want to order another putter to scratch the itch. 

[5hort5tuff]

What was their estimate? 3 months?

Original was 8 to 12 weeks right now but I guess with his back log I'd assume more. Well it's obviously more since I don't have a putter yet. 

 

But I will soon. 

[5hort5tuff]

Haha standard boutique service. I'll expect mine around Christmas.

Yeah but what a Christmas gift that would be.

I’m going on 17 weeks but they have been upfront with the communication so I’m good with it. They fell behind with all the 9305’s they did, now they are working on a batch of 20 - 9320’s. I’m suppose to be right after those. 
 

mine is a 9309 (fang style) with their diamond face and a lagolf 105 shaft .

It was even before the 9305s, Kevin said he took on a few putters that were just way too time consuming and caused this backlog. I'm surprised they're still on the 9320s. I do hope to get an update email soon.

I get a quick response on Instagram.

[MattM97]

I got an email from Brendan last night, the 9320s they needed to build tooling and fixtures as this putter shape was brought back so that took up some time. The 9320s should be done by the 23-25 of July and then back onto the 2 piece putters starting with some 9309s and then 9306s and apparently my putter material is in the shop so it's coming up soon for the mill.

 

I did ask for an updated timeframe so will update when I get that to give everyone a better idea of where they are at. But lead times should reduce as they can mill 2-piece putters faster.

I think we will be getting our putters around the same time. I’m in the same exact spot.

I think so as well he did say they are milling the 9306s and 9309s at the same time. I just asked for an updated time frame because I'm itching for a new putter and if I can get this in my hands soon I won't order something new.

 

It's a sickness I have lol.

Ditto I have a nordberg center shaft on order.
