The $2929.74 Putter! (PGTee)

Anyone Buying?

A few months ago we were put in contact with a new putter company in France called PGTEE.  They had some interesting looking sticks to say the least and when we heard how much these flatsticks were going to cost we decided we better get in touch.  At the time they were running 1500 EUROS which about made me spit my drink out.  But now we just got an update that they are going to sell for 2000 EUROS which translates to $2929.74! US Dollars … well at least that is the conversion rate today. Incredible!

I emailed back and forth with the designer although the communication barrier was a little tough.  So we thought we would let you guys in on the action.  We posted some info about them on our Facebook page and gave a chance for our Facebook fans to ask the owner some questions.  (If you would like to take part in some of these Q &A’s we have from time to time on Facebook all you have to do is join us here.)

Q&A From Facebook Fans for PGTee Designer

1. How did you get into the business?
After working for 2 years, during my studies, at a golf club dealer, I started to look more precisely the golf club business and found out that we didn’t have a luxury french exclusive brand. Therefore I decided to launch PGTee, focussing on bringing the clubmaking assembling quality to traditional golf clubs. All our clubs (irons, SW and now putter) are totally hand-made and the assembling is life warantied.

2. What are the putters made from?
The putters are 100% CNC milled from aeronautical aluminum here in France, with adjustable tungsten weights.

3. How much do they cost?
It costs around 2000 EUROS  (prices are not totally fixed yet)
The DZ-1 PGTee putter, is a 100 piece limited edition around the world. It comes with a solid Carbon Fiber Headcover (ours was leather…very nice actually) and a Carbon Fiber Flycase.
Each putter is completely customizable.

4. How long have you been designing putters?
The DZ-1 is our first putter release. We have been working on it for more than two years now with our research department, combining golfers and aeronautical engineers.

5. How long has PGtee been around?
PGTee exists since 2007.

6. What do you do other then make putters? Are you in a different industry as well?
In France PGTee is known since 2007 for the exclusive G01 Iron Sets (200 pieces in ther world) and SW . (www.pgtee.com , french only, sorry)
In our workshop, Certified Clubmakers assemble, on demand, the G01, with very precise specifications:

– Oriented shafts (only clubmaking shafts)
– MOI Matching Balance
– Frequency Matching
– 200 laser engraved iron sets
– Life warantied assembling
– Correcting lofts and lies up to 4 degrees, with a 1/4 degree accuracy…

7. What makes these putters different from other brands?
As we have been working on it for more than two years with the best clubmakers and engineers, we came up with the best putter in the world:

– Highest MOI for the best playability
– Best rolling even on hard greens
– Adjustable tungsten weights for exact fitting (325 – 360 g)
– Exclusive design (independant young french object designer)
– Astonishing sensations (feel and touch) due to the material choice and design
– “Face-balanced” of course
– UST filtered putter shaft bringing even more precise feeling of the impact
– Completely customizable

GIVE THEM YOUR OPINION (TELL THEM WHAT YOU THINK)

We thought it would be a good idea for you guys to give PGTee some feedback on their putter.  Other companies have asked for us to post photos to get the MyGolfSpy readers opinions before…and it has worked very well for those companies.  I think this one might be very interesting to say the least.  I think you guys might have a field day with this one.  Let’s hear what you have to say.
