Offer still stands?

Eric, frostee ... if you are reading this .... please reserve 355g ZA LH and RH too for me please.. thanks ..

its not a typo .... LH & RH ... thanks..

Hi all, today played my Zen ZA2 pt3 for the first time at kepple. My verdict : worth every cents I paid for it. Why? because it holed all the 1 to 1.5 metre putt with ease. Also holed a 15 ft and 20 ft putt for birdie. I have never putted so well in a game. The roll is very firm and stick to your putting line. So if you get the putt line right, it's bull's eye.

I saw the Prototype II today. Very nice. Looked gorgeous. Weight-wise, also v nice.

ok folks...

the black SS with the F360 resonance shaft is back in the office today after going back to the place of birth and some further testing with playing pros.

i would like to share the different way a putter is being made.

for most mass produced brands the putters are made from cast blocks. this usually means that the cost of manufacture is lowly and several brands may share the same cast.

the one on the extreme left is the block where the Zen is milled from while the other 2 are cast blocks (carbon steel in centre and 304 SS or the right). the Zen is milled from 303 steel block. the putter weights about 600g and the final weight is 355g.



amazing how an unimpressive piece of steel can be turned into a putter.



here's another look...



the holes in the face is meant to hold the putter during milling.





Siaw8...dont say i never give you chance...you can try one or own one.

Hi Eric,

one word .... Swee!!!! best paid putter so far and it works very well for me.

jeffgoh

Hi Eric,

Played my second game with the Zen a few days ago and holed 2 more 15ft birdies. Seems to be very good for such distance putts. such a delight to see the ball shoot straight to the hole. Really gives alot of confidence to my putting.

well i witness 1st hand on the effect of this putter last sat @ octville.....

some fella putted this thing with confidence tht i envy...

LLP was using Zen too?

Will i can say is that this is a magic stick.... Wow, i couldnt believed my eyes. When i hit the ball, it just roll into the hole. The distance is around 6 to 7 ft. my friend jump up and cheer for me. Yes. That is my first hole. After that i got alot of 1 to 2 putts. I only got 2 times 3 putts. The feels is good. What i want to say is that when i hit the ball, it will just go on it's own way and into the hole. Hahaha
BUT
I will still buy other putters to try......HAHAHA... I like to collect Putters
