#ThePimpList – Putter Edition

Who can make #ThePimpest putter in golf?

Remember #ThePimpList “Wedge Edition?  If you do, then you got to see what can happen when you ask that same question and unleash some of the sickest most bad ass behind-the-scene wedge designers in the game of golf. You get things like this never done before (damascus wedge) design and this too!

As soon as we started receiving submissions for the original wedge edition of #ThePimpList, we began planning for the custom putter version.

Don’t be fooled by imitators. MyGolfSpy is home to the Original Pimps.

Joining a returning Edel Golf and reigning champion are custom putter specialists Bettinardi, Machine, Xenon, and Slighter. As was the case with our wedges, the participants have done an out-of-this-mind job turning old world craftsmanship and exotic materials into art you can play.

The results are simply stunning.
