Few golfers are aware who is Tohru Yamada however if you asked
Tour Professionals or Golf Equipment companies you would get a
different response.Yamada is perhaps the greatest putter
craftsmen the game has ever seen his putters have been used by
hundreds of tour pro’s including the likes of Greg Norman,Phil
Mickelson,Darren Clarke,Raphael Jacquelin,Stewart Ginn & Mike
Clayton to name a few, so why has the golfing public never heard
of him?
Mostly because Yamada does not pay endorsement fees to pro
golfers who use his putters so the general public is unaware of
the eccentric Japanese putter craftsmen, yet that is about to
change.After years of making putters for other companies &
branding them with their name Yamada decided to release his own
putter brand the Yamada Milled series,aiming to provide club
golfers the same quality of equipment before only available to
tour pro’s.Yamada saw a trend with most of the putters on the
market today was going downhill but prices were going up “Our
putters are using the highest grade of steel so the golfer can
get best feeling & performance in their putting,the other putter
companies will not offer this due to the cost & delicate cutting
process of the steel required ”Yamada notes.
A Yamada putter is like no other putter in golf today each
process is overseen by Yamada from choosing the steel to the
design of the putter to the hand finishing & balance of the
putter, a man tormented to provide golfers with the perfect
putter. Yamada putters provide the best feel in all of golf. The
main reason is due to the sensitivity of the steel he uses,
while most of the bigger companies use a more cost effective
harder steel Yamada opts for the more expensive softer steel to
provide golfers with more feedback & control with their putting,
Dean Marks of Yamada Golf explains “Mr Yamada believes the truly
good player whether he be Tour Pro or a social golfer wants
feedback with their putting so like with blade irons our putters
will provide you with the feedback with every putt you make, if
you hit in the middle it’s the softest feeling you will ever
feel however if you slightly miss hit the putt it will provide a
harder heavier feeling”
Yamada can only produce 1000 putter per year globally so each
putter is in high demand & only available via Authorized agents.
Whilst many companies make putter none makes them with the
CRAFTSMANSHIP,
PRECISION & PERFORMANCE of those made by Tohru Yamada.
