From Raw Steel to the FedEx Cup
Did you know that Piretti Putters have won nearly 15% of all FedEx Cups? It’s true. Granted, the event is only 7 years old, and nearly 15% equates to a single FedEx Cup, but it’s still kind of a big deal.
While Henrick Stenson and his Piretti Custom Cottonwood II has cast something of a spotlight on Piretti, the company has been on our radar since 2008 when we featured them in our list of 15 Top Custom Putter Designers.
In 2010 we did An Interview with Piretti Founder and Designer, Mike Johnson, and followed that up with a review of his….wait for it…Cottonwood II Putter; the very same model used by Stenson (Stenson’s is actually a modified Cottonwood II with a longer neck and less toe hang). It’s not like we needed Henrick Stenson winnng the FedEx Cup to know that Piretti makes a damn good putter.
The point of all this is that we’ve been watching Piretti for a while now, so if you’re just hearing about them for the first time, seriously; where the hell have you been?
How Piretti Putters Are Made
Of course, Piretti Putters don’t start out being awesome. Today we’ll show you, from start to finish, how blocks of steel become FedEx Cup winning putters.
