Golf’s Finest Heirlooms
Welcome to The Bradley Putter Company, where I handcraft one-of-a-kind putters that tell your story. Each putter is not just a tool for improving your game, but also a way to showcase your individuality, your achievements, and your passions. Whether you’re looking for a special gift for a loved one, a unique retirement or appreciation gift for a colleague, or a way to commemorate a special occasion, my custom putters are handcrafted to perfection, and sure to turn heads on the course.
Extraordinarily Custom Putters. Handcrafted in Oregon.
Spark Your Imagination
At The Bradley Putter Company, I believe that every putter should be as unique as the person using it. That’s why I start every order with a phone call, where I work closely with my clients to understand their stories and design elements that are important to them. I then collaborate throughout the process to bring those stories to life through my custom putters. Each putter is handcrafted with the highest attention to detail and quality, using materials that are special to the client. For example, I recently crafted a putter for the CEO of Intel, using walnut wood from his grandfather’s orchard, an embedded CPU on top that he developed, and a stained glass effect on the bottom using shattered 486 chip silicon in the shape of a cross, to reflect his faith. Whether you’re looking for a special gift or simply a putter that is uniquely your own, I’m here to help you create something truly special.

My wife bought me a custom putter for my graduation from residency. From the minute we sent him a DM, Bradley was amazing. He’s super responsive and engaged and went through the whole process with us. After that, he shares pictures and ideas and processes with you and it’s a cool part of the experience. This is all to say, that even if you think you know, you have no idea how beautiful this putter that you receive is. It’s absolutely stunning. I had to ask him again whether it was a framer or a gamer. His response, it’s definitely a gamer. And is it ever!! It rolls like a gem. Looks awesome and gets everyone talking. I have people at my club who have heard about me because of my putter. This is one of the best golf purchases I have ever made. Definitely recommend to you and have already recommended to everyone I know.

Design Process
These putters are unlike anything you’ve ever seen. And so is the way they’re designed and built for you. Read below to learn about every step, from the initial conversation with Brad, to the first putt.
The Phone Call
With so many possibilities for your putter, the best way to start the project is a phone call with Brad. You will first talk about the stories you want to tell, and then Brad will lean on his years of experience to throw out as many ideas as possible. From there, you’ll decide together on a plan that’s at least 90% complete. Then you can finalize details as the putter comes to life. Expect to spend $1k-$3k, depending on the complexity.
Plan on 30 minutes.
Follow Along
After the phone call, the order is converted to a Trello board. This is where you will see the checklists for our plan to make your putter, as well as picture updates every step of the way. Brad is making you a putter that’s never existed before, so don’t be afraid to reach out if something isn’t looking like you imagined. He guarantees you’ll love the putter, and won’t stop until it’s perfect.
Block Creation
I will search for the perfect piece of wood to serve as the foundation of your putter. It then gets dried, stabilized to make it weatherproof and more durable, and then poured with acrylic to add color and depth. Any embedded items will be placed on the wood prior to the acrylic pour.
1-2 weeks typically.
Manufacturing
.After finding the perfect location in the block for your putter, it is split and weights are added from below. Then the base cap is precisely realigned and allowed to cure. When sanding the final head shape, the seam disappears into the bottom fillet. Your loft is cut into the face, and the head is sanded until your desired weight is achieved.
2-3 days to add weights and shape it.
Engraving
If you’d like to further customize your putter, a detailed engraving can take it to the next level. Send in your own image or logo, and Brad will use a laser engraver and UV resin to apply it. Each color area gets cut by the laser, and then filled and cured with the desired color. For multi-colored images, the putter is placed back in the engraver to cut the next color area, and the process repeats for each color.
1-2 weeks to design, 1 day to engrave.
Shaft and Gloss
The putter then has a chrome, black, or white shaft installed at your desired length and lie angle. The head can then receive several coats of gloss, which has multiple benefits. It protects the wood from discoloration due to fertilizers, keeps the acrylic colors bright and protected from UV damage, and enhances the depth and shine of both the wood grains and the acrylic transparency.
1 day to install the shaft.
1-2 weeks to gloss.
Shipping
The “Only You Can Prevent Three Putts” cover comes standard with every putter, but we also have leather or even exotic skins available. Your putter will be sent via UPS in a custom Bradley Putter wood grain box. Inside the box you will find a canvas bag with your head cover, with your putter beneath that securely wrapped in paper. Cut the three pieces of tape on the front, then the tape on the sides, and lift up the flap. Then take it straight to the course, and enjoy the smooth feel and addicting performance.
3 day UPS domestically.
1 week international.
