In the showcase below we present 15 Top Custom Putter Designers that still do it the old-school way…with their hands. The majority of the putter designers below make all of their putters from scratch and almost all are produced in the good ol’ USA. These are only a couple of the features that make these designers special…these guys do some amazing work. Anyone can go to a store and spend $300 on a mass produced putter with no blood, sweat and tears mixed in. But wouldn’t you rather have a putter that no one else in the world can say they own?
We strongly encourage you to check out their work and check out what some of them are capable of. Have a putter design of your own…let one of them know…many of them will take your own design and bring it to life for you.

The DeChamps brass blade is stylish isn’t it
Great article MGS… nice to see some of these guys getting a shout out!
Have a C&L that I just love, can’t wait to get my hands on a Byron and a Machine from DogLegRight…
Thanks Garth – yeah these guys deserve it!
Wait a minute. There’s a line of custom-fitted Coutour Putters designed and fitted by Golf Magazine and Golf Digest Top 50 Instructor Todd Sones. Think he deserves a spot high on this list.
We actually covered his gear here: http://www.mygolfspy.com/coutour-putters-putter/
Got it. Thanks.
Anytime Dave.

The putters by Edel are by far the best. His fitting system is second to none.
Hey JPayne – thanks for joining us on MGS! We hear good things about the Edel putters as well.
You guys should check out the Mitchell Putters! Mitchell manufactures the #1 Bending Machines and Teach the Pros how to fit! Awesome FEEL! CUSTOM

Thanks for your comment and welcome to MyGolfSpy Putterhead…we hope you come back often. I agree with you we actually have checked them out and have putted with all their putters. Thanks for the link as well.
Why is Sunset Beach not on this list and other not really custom putter companies are?
Hi Chris – This article was written back in 2008 before we knew about you.
I’ve recently tried the Nickel Putter Two Metal 909 putter. It’s custom in that you can adjust the length of the shaft very easily between 32″ and 37″. You can also choose your grip color. These putters are engineered in Germany and have excellent performance ratings. If you’re looking for a putter that fits you perfectly these are definitely the way to go! They have several putters to choose from, here is a link to their site:

Thanks!
You really need to update this list… There are 3 in this list that I’ve never heard of and I know a little about custom putters and their makers. At least 4 in that list will only customize with stamping and extreme minimal finish option, a couple won’t even accomodate that. The only ones that I see fitting your topic are David Mills, Byron, Dave Billings (Dog Leg Right), Tom Slighter, and Tad. What about Gene Nead, Charlie Dix (Home Town Putters), LaMont Mann (MannKrafted and SunSet Beach, James Ingles……….
You want to write the article for us? Sounds like you already have a good list going. Aren;t you related to Lamont though?
Hell if I’m not mistaken, Bobby Grace still does some custom work and he’s an advertiser on your site..,,
Unlike other sites being an advertiser doesn’t get you special treatment
