Yep have been reading about it and umming and ahhing for a while now.
Spoke with the nearest fitter (not very near!!) last week aswell.
Really looking forward to it :thup:

That looks very nice, did think about black but went for the silver.
It is funny as you build and build the more it feels like you have had it forever.
I was tied between 12g and 6g in the head but went for 12g once i got on the greens and needed to be a little firmer with the putts compared with a carpet.
I do have the 30g opti-vibe damper in there on the right hand, counter weight was a close one but I was better on long distance control without

I ended up getting a Scotty in the end as I couldn't get away with how the Edels look.
The fitting process does sound awesome though.

Interesting. I was told the opi-vibe was very polerising and I instantly hated it, killed my feel. Clever stuff though.

I was going to go gold and gold shaft but saw a post on blacked out putters on WRX and the photos convinced me.

I went to the same guy in Jan. Was a good fitting and very technical.. But as soon as the greens speeded up in spring my putter was far too heavy. Not sure if you can re adjust or re fit once the putter is built. Also with the new aim point distance control I would like to change it a little.

Very different to you! My then putter (Ping Ketsch) was very high and left. I have the pic on my phone as the fitters died. I'll post in a sec.
I can't have anything on the back or use the E3, it drags my eyes to the back of the putter and makes my aim higher. I have 3 white lines on the front but I could have also had non. Best results I aim the front blade of the putter.
21g (max) in the heal and 120g (max) in the very top of the shaft(butt), no damping, round black grip. Total weight... A lot!
I'm on holiday so can't check my specs but some offset and 35". Funnily enough he gave me a 34" as that would seem about right but it felt shorter than my 34" Ping. He said everyone says the same.
Crazy how as they build it up its starts to feel like home hu?
You sure you had your putter in your hands and not your 5iron :rofl:

Bad hu, I had to have it made with a degree less loft in the end.
With a mallet I rest the putter too much on the back.

My understanding is the head weights can be changed, they sell a kit with all the weights in. I had this today where the heavy head caused distance control issues as the head was too .
Give Iain a call i'm sure he will help you out

its even worse when he has a 5 iron in his hands that it looks more like a putter
Ouch...
For the record, ideal is about 8" high....

only winding mate, slogging round our boggy course whilst your sunning it abroad makes me a tad bitter

I see from your "I played today" it's pretty wet!

I do Aimpoint and had the edel fitting but got a Raa putter that swing weights at E9 and total weight 400g for a 33.5" putter. Id say stick with it as a heavier putter is ideal for fast greens.

that and the fact that the head greenkeeper is away and the other greenkeepers have been using the heavy machinary when too wet and churned parts of the course up, not in the best of conditions (bar the greens which have been decent still)

i went from 3.5* to 1* on my putter, think mine was aimed over the screen and on the back wall

Hehe, ye my fitter said he'd had a few up the wall. Perhaps he was just putting me at ease though....
