Sub 70 Putters: Milled Heads Without the Premium
CNC milled 303 stainless steel, fully customisable, at a fraction of the usual price.
What is on offer
CNC milled 303 stainless steel heads in blade, mallet and mid-mallet shapes, including the Sycamore series and zero-torque models. Length, loft, lie and grip are all specified when you order.
Milled stainless is what premium putter brands charge large sums for. The manufacturing process is the same; the marketing budget attached to it is not.
Where putter money actually goes
In the premium market, a large share of the price is finish, provenance and prestige rather than performance. A milled head from a famous name does not roll the ball better than a milled head from Illinois.
What does affect performance is head shape, length, lie and whether you can aim the thing. All four are available here, and the last one costs nothing.
Zero torque explained
On a conventional putter the shaft attaches near the heel, so the head’s mass sits off the shaft axis and the face tends to rotate open and closed through the stroke.
Zero-torque designs balance the head around that axis so the face stays square with far less hand input. It helps golfers whose putts start offline inconsistently, and particularly those who miss short putts on both sides.
Get the length right
An off-the-rack 34-inch putter suits a fairly narrow range of golfers. Too long and your hands sit too close to your body, which pushes the stroke inside and closes the face at impact.
Since Sub 70 builds to order, specify the length. It changes more than the head shape does and it costs nothing extra.
Testing when you cannot walk into a shop
Use the demo programme, and test on a real green rather than a carpet. Carpet flatters every putter equally and tells you nothing about how the ball rolls out.
Aim each candidate at a target ten feet away and have someone check the face with an alignment stick. A large share of golfers aim several degrees off without knowing it.
The saving has a use
Put it toward a putting lesson or a proper fitting for length and lie. Both will do more for your scores than any head shape.
Coach’s tip: Choose the putter you aim best, not the one that feels best. Aim is measurable and consistent; feel changes with your mood and the greens you played last.
