CASE STUDY
Revolutionary technology in a familiar head shape
I love it when putter things come out of left field. I expect new Camerons and such each year, but I never expected a small shop like Dogleg Right to hook up with a big name like Bobby Jones. Not that Dave Billings makes a poor putter, that couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s more of the big name-small shop thing that was surprising.
Anyway, here is the short version. Dogleg Right is making three lines of putters in celebration of the Bobby Jones brand’s 25th anniversary. These are premium putters and carry a premium price tag.
WATCH PRESENTATIONThe “Silver Anniversary” line, intended to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Bobby Jones brand, features modern classic designs that are crafted from “American Rustless” 303 Steel with an exquisite multi-faceted satin mist finish on the upper surfaces, hand polished soles and the finest custom options available. In addition the Silver Anniversary line putters come complete with Bobby Jones logoed grips, head covers and shaft labels. Prices start at $699.99 for each putter.
The “Grand Slam” line offers a series of 4 commemorative putters that honor Bobby Jones “Impregnable Quadrilateral” in 1930. The four timeless head styles are crafted from the finest metals, offer intricate custom options, and are completed with superb hand finishes. The Grand Slam models, GS-1, GS-2, GS-3 and GS-4 will come complete with Bobby Jones logoed leather grips, matching head covers and Limited Edition Bobby Jones shaft labels. The Grand Slam line of putters will be available in super-limited edition quantities with just 10 each of the first four styles available for purchase. Prices start at $799.99 per putter.
Finishing out the Bobby Jones Putters by Dogleg Right’s initial launch is a series of “Bespoke Art” one-of-a-kind models. The Bobby Jones Bespoke Art pieces start as one of the models from the previous two lines and are transformed into a unique, one-of-a-kind putter by Master Designer and Maker, Dave Billings. Each Bespoke Art putter is made precisely to the customer’s every specification and aesthetic preference, offering the finest in materials, performance technologies and expert craftsmanship. Each putter will include a Certificate of Ownership and notes and drawings from Dave to the owner. The initial Bespoke Art collection will be made up of 10 pieces total for Spring 2015 and will start at $1,499.99. Super exotic materials such as Stainless and Carbon Damascus, Mokume Gane and Titanium Damascus can be selected to make these timeless, one-of-a-kind masterpieces.
