That's unfortunate. I am about 8 weeks so far. If it's 6-8 months I probably wouldn't have ordered haha. I'm pretty impatient!

I'm just joking, it's been a while for sure. Do I want my putter? Yes. Do I have other stuff to putt with? Yes.

 

I am on the back end of my season and not sure if I'll get this before the season ends but I'll just focus on what I have and roll this over the winter.

I'm exactly the same way. 2 or 3 months is okay. 6-8 I would have went somewhere else.  This is exactly why they say 2-3 months and take your payment. They know people will move on. 

 

With that being said, I love the 9306WB and the idea of pyramid grooves. I'm also willing to wait and not give them any trouble.

@Humble in a response from the company this week...they did say they are finishing the 9320 this week. Then a 9309 for a customer who's been waiting a long time. I'm guessing that's you. Let us know how it goes. 

[Humble]

They started on my 9309 today 🎉. Says moving forward it’s all two piece putters so they will catch up much faster.

Finally,

 

I joke. Hopefully they catch up soon.

^^^ but actually...so slow.  

 

Hopefully it turns out exactly like you wanted. No matter how ping it takes...his work is clean.

Slow and perfect > fast and sloppy.

 

Do I wish I had mine a month ago? Yeah who doesn't. But if I get what I ask for I cannot be upset.

I dont want to hear it Matt! You've got a new Lajosi and nice TP Mills since you ordered this lol

To be fair the Mills wasn't a custom. But yes the Lajosi was a quick-ish turn around. 

[Humble]

Moving along

We’re all along for the ride waiting with you : )

 

A flame finish on a Burns just seems right. 

[MattM97]

And the face which I purposely left without logos because the pyramid grooves is all you need to know that it's a KB putter. 

 

 

if they post pics before me I'll share those if not when I get the putter I'll do my best. I sadly don't think there is enough time to get a round with this putter so carpet rolling until 2022. 

[MattM97]

Got my tracking and got tagged in this post on Instagram: 

 

 

Saturday is most likely my last round of the year. So carpet duty for this until April I hope.

Just saw it on IG and figured it was yours. Well done!

Thank you now to see how bang on my specs they are when I get it. 

[5hort5tuff]

Looking great Matt. Nice to see these models being  completed.

What’s the toe hang on that neck? Looks sort of like a mid-long flow neck so i’m thinking a little less toe hang than a plumbers neck?

[Humble]

Mine is out for delivery. I’ll post some pics later.

Not sure, I'll let you know when I get it. As long as it's between 20 and 60° I'm fine with it. 

[Humble]

Very happy with the purchase. The wait was a little longer than quoted but the craftsmanship is superb. The entire process Brendan kept me in the loop.

 

 

[ckay]

That’s sweet!

[Tupperwolf]

Sick!! Love how the lie angle is engraved on the neck. That one's right up my alley.

I'm going to share what's going on with my putter and why I haven't been spamming pics of it. 

 

I got the putter last week, opened it up and the putter is a piece of CNC art. What Kevin is charging for his putters and what you get is a steal. The quality is amazing and flawless, seriously if you want a basic putter and he has a shape you like the $600 starting point is a steal. 

 

Onto the point of this post, as I was unboxing it I grabbed the build sheet and noticed my specs were wrong. They were my spec but my old specs, several weeks before my putter was milled I made a spec change to my loft and lie based on a fitting. This was confirmed by Brendan as he had to ask his dad if a spec request I had could be done. 

 

I got home and saw an email from Brendan asking if I got the putter and my thoughts. I told him about the spec error and in under an hour he emailed me back saying the error was on him and their system not updating my build sheet. He was going to speak to his dad and get back to me.

 

This is where my mind starts racing, what if they say tough luck? What if I'm stuck with this putter I cannot bend? What if....

 

The next day I get an email with another apology from Brendan followed by "we're going to mill you a new putter". What a relief, some horror stories from various putter makers were in the back of my mind but gone with KB Golf. 

 

Brendan sent me a new spec sheet, I filled it out and he submitted that and my new putter will be milled soon. I know I waited long but my season is done, and I'd rather have my putter. Brendan told me to hold onto the putter they sent, roll it, game it, enjoy it best I can. When the new one comes there will be a return label and I'll ship the other one back. They'll do whatever with it either sell it or use it as a demo putter since it's standard setup and a lefty option isn't bad to have. And yes I have been rolling it in my basement since I've gotten it.

 

They do stand behind their products and take care of their customers. I'm a first time buyer with them, yes I waited longer than I would have preferred but it's just a putter. The proper one I'm sure will be identical in quality but perfect for me. 

 

I'm sure some have questions but probably the one most have: Would I buy from KB again? Definitely, the quality is amazing, they take pride in their product and the 2-piece putter means I could just buy a head or two with different face options based on my mood. 

 

End of day they're human, we make mistakes every now and then. They admitted to their mistake and correcting it too which many don't seem to do no matter the situation.

Awesome to hear. Really look forward to the day I place my own order!

Brendan is a great brand ambassador. I put in another order two weeks ago.
