    328: From Pro Golfer to Master Craftsman: Dave Frisch's Putter Revolution
    Send us a textWhat makes the perfect putter? It's a question that has fueled endless debates among golfers, but few have explored it with the depth of knowledge and hands-on expertise as Dave Frisch of Goodwood Golf Company. Transforming from golf professional to self-taught CAD designer and master putter craftsman, Dave brings remarkable insights into both the artistic and scientific elements of putter creation.This episode peels back the curtain on the custom putter industry, revealing how these precision instruments are designed, manufactured, and personalized. Dave walks us through his journey of teaching himself computer-aided design and machining, explaining how he transforms blocks of carbon steel and stainless into heirloom-quality putters that perform as beautifully as they look.The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Dave shares findings from his ongoing research comparing different putter designs. Using sophisticated tracking technology, he's challenging some of the boldest marketing claims in the industry, particularly those surrounding "zero-torque" putters. His data suggests what many experienced players intuitively know—there's no universal solution in putting, and the best putter is one that complements your natural stroke pattern.Beyond technical details, we explore what makes custom putters so special: personalization. From custom stamping that commemorates meaningful dates or initials to precise specifications tailored to individual stroke characteristics, these aren't just clubs—they're personal instruments that often become treasured possessions passed through generations.Whether you're fascinated by the craftsmanship behind golf equipment, considering investing in a custom putter, or simply love geeking out about golf technology, this conversation offers valuable insights that might forever change how you think about the most personal club in your bag.
