Custom Knuckle Neck Squareback 2

Here is one I've been wanting to do for a LONG time. This is a custom long Knuckle Neck Squareback 2. Making it fully face balanced. This thing is AS good as my Red X I just did. I finished it with the longer 13+" Super Stroke to get the a balance right, as the neck added some weight. This thing is amazing! Feel free to ask any questions about this build! It was sort of a go with it type build, as I wasn't sure how I was going to get the lie, loft, and angles right with the neck, as I'm not a machinist, but it turned out awesome!

Wow! super clean and nice work! hope you putt straight with it!

[@dannybrant6758]

Great workmanship. Not sure I could put with it, but you given it a new lease of life

[@igolf906]

Thanks. I'm a night & day better putter with face balanced so, it was a must for me.

[@joetorres4165]

Beautiful workmanship

[@igolf906]

Thanks!

[@adamdillman486]

awesome job once again 👏! big fan of your work and videos! keep em coming, you give me alot of ideas for my own customizations 😊

[@igolf906]

Thank you!

[@stewboyslabs1578]

Awesome! What sandpaper did you use to refinish the face to give it the clean brushed looked? Turned out awesome and I think a cleaner look than the typical milled face everyone wants these days

[@igolf906]

Thanks! I prefer a smooth face for all of my putters. But I started with 60 grit to get the milling out, then worked my way to 400 for the finish.

[@Pluhar71]

Love this, great work and love your videos!! Can you leave a link for the blue material you put on the screws for when you put them back in the baseplate?

[@igolf906]

Thanks! amzn.to/4cw5qvE

[@FlagstickPutters]

Awesome work! How did you know how long to make the hosel?

[@igolf906]

To be honest, I did a lot of basic measurements. Measure the hosel length and depth of the fitting. After a mock up fitting, I use a shaft to follow where approximately the hosel would be, and made sure it ended up pointing directly to the center of the face. Seemed to work as it's perfectly face balanced!

[@glenock766]

Great job on it. Looks magnificent. Yeah by having the shaft point to the center of the face essentially makes a face balanced putter.
Was the initial bore perpendicular? Looked like when you milled it that it was but after installing the neck shaft it looks like it’s a bit angled

[@rdalmasso7326]

Question, with that type on “inserted” neck you can’t adjust lie and loft afterwards right ? Need to perforate at a specific angle at the beginning i guess ?!

[@igolf906]

It would be adjusted just as any other putter. It would probably be much easier with this style hosel.

[@daniel80111]

Is it easier to add a knuckle neck on a double bend putter? Thinking of possibly converting my putter

[@igolf906]

Depends I guess. A lot of double bends are angled out of the head. So doing this type of conversion wouldn't work.
