Testimonials
I was able to play my Snubnose and my Redmond for a few rounds now. These putters are simply fabulous! Perfectly balanced, made with extreme care, very heavy - exactly as I wanted them. Perfect work Tom! Thanks! There is really no reason to buy a mass production putter. I\'m extremely happy with my Slighters. But Scottys Squareback isn\'t ;-)
Tom - you are an artist my friend. My "reconfigured" Auburn is precisely what I was looking for. Your availability and attention to my/our project was second-to-none. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors and look forward to my next Slighter. Meanwhile, I\'m heading to the practice green to show off my sweet flatstick. Regards -
I was so glad to hear you say the putter could be repaired. Thanks cse0752.
Words cannot describe this putter and Tom's ability. I will try.Tom and I discussed at great length what I wanted in a putter. Then he made by hand the dream putter I was looking for. There isn't one thing I would change on this masterpiece. Tom will go out of his way to create the perfect putter and he outdid himself on mine. I have never dealt with anyone like him. I will have him make me a "twin backup" just so I can do it again!
Tom's putters roll truer than any putter I have ever used. Simply put, I now think I can make any putt instead getting it close.
Putting with a Slighter, will give you a serious advantage. Cameron, Bettinardi, etc. have nothing on Tom.
Thank you Tom. You deserve all the success I know you will have!
Also, thank you Jeff, the logos were the perfect added touch to my putter.
I purchased the Slighter Tacoma "proto insert" so that I could use a putter from Tom while I am waiting for my "Custom" Portland. All I can say is it is the finest craftsmanship I have ever seen in a putter. It only makes me want the Portland Tom is making for me even more. I have never dealt with anyone with his ability and professionalism.
All I can say about Tom is - AWESOME! My Redmond is actually better than I imagined, and he went out of his way to help me get exactly what I wanted, down to a specially shaped neck! The finish is wonderful and the quality of the putter speaks volumes about Tom's craftsmanship and attention to detail. Once again - THANK YOU!
The weather finally broke and I've been getting out to play with my new Tacoma. Took me a round or two to get dialed-in since the offset was a little different than my previous putter, but now that I am I'm making everything. It's awesome when the ball goes exactly where you want it to. Thanks Tom for a great putter.
Wow, I was just looking back and it's been over 4 years since I got my Slighter Tacoma. I have never once thought about putting with anything else...but a different one from Tom of course. I just recently moved down to Chandler, AZ from Camas, WA. I am attending The Golf Academy of America - Arizona. There are over 200 students that attend the school as well and It's to me of no surprise the mass amounts of compliments and positive remarks I receive when showing my classmates my putter. I've heard "Beautiful Putter", "Gorgeous Putter", "Amazing work"...no negative remarks at all. I respond "Only the best with Slighter". Todd Sones just visited recently a Top 50 PGA instructor, I showed him the weapon and he was very impressed to say the least. I will stand by Slighter putters forever, they set the bar of what a putter should look, play, and feel like. Get used to hearing the name...Big Tommy is going to be around a loooong time. : )
Thanks Tom for everything, keep up the great work. I'll keep reppin down here in AZ. Best wishes.

Slighter Putter since 2004
Back in the spring of this year I ordered my son a custom Redmond before his venture to the University of Alabama as a freshman. Soon afterwards I placed another order for a Portland. This one was for me. They both arrived a few weeks ago and I cannot say enough about the craftsmanship and balance of both of these putters. They sit very square at address and feel terrific. I've owned some pretty nice putters in the past including some hand made Scotty Cameron's. My old favorite was a hand made Tad Moore, but none compare to these two Tom Slighter made for my son and I. Tom has done a wonderful job on these and I would definately say his work compares with, if not surpasses, Cameron, Bettinardi, and Moore's hand made work. Tom is a true gentleman and is focused on satisfying the customer. This is obvious through his communication. Thanks Tom, from both Austin and I for a job well done!
Back in May, I ordered my very first Slighter putter - an Olympia. Right from the start Tom was great to work with. However, I believe I took over the position of "most annoying customer ever." Tom even gave me the nickname Detective Columbo. But every change I wanted Tom worked it in no problem, and now I have the putter of my dreams. Everything came out perfect!! If you are on the fence about ordering a Slighter putter (as I was), I would say do it!! You won't regret it!!! Thanks Tom and Bonnie!!!
I have recently purchased a new TACOMA putter made to my specifications. Tom is a fine gentlemen and a true professional. I have used my new Tacoma and I am extremely happy with the overall performance and appearance. She is a beauty, with balance and feel to spare!!
Tom,I can use all of the help I can get in order to confront this crazy game called Golf. My new putter will stay in my bag for a long time.I do recommend your work/art with out reservations. Thank you once-again.
A putter that feels and looks very well. Tom is a master. Pure class. I will be orderind another soon.
I first found out about Tom Slighter when searching the Internet for custom putters.
All the websites I looked at, had similar product lines.
I contacted Tom via email along with the other companies, expressing interest in their putters.
All people resonate with a certain level of energy, and it was after talking to Tom on the phone, that I knew he was the one to create my putter.
I could talk about the craftsmanship, attention to detail, feel, sound and roll of my Tacoma (which are all a wonder to behold), but what means more to me, is the fact that Tom put his soul into my putter.
.
Just got my custom Portland from Tom. All I can say is swwweeeeeeeet! Great work from a great guy. I'm a Slighter fan!
I am so pleased with my Edmonds custom putter. The fit and finish are great, and the feel is better than any "off the rack" putter you will ever pick up. I just won enough $ in my first 2 rounds with this putter to cover the cost of the purchase. Anyone considering a new putter should go the custom route, and I can't imagine a better process than with Slighter- Thanks Tom.
Tom and his team are the best you have built the perfect putter, Ive already had lots of birdies and I can't tell enough people about Slighter. From start too finish everything has been fantastic bring on the three footers. Many Thanks
Robert.
I finally got to take out my EXTREMELY heavy Newcastle. With jumbo grip, heavy shaft and head, the putter weighs in around 900 grams.
It's not only beautiful, but it lines up great, is soft as butter and it's so heavy, from 5 feet and in, it's money. It has great feel and is just a beautiful. Thanks Tom for yet another great putter and for being a wonderful friend.
The Putter has arrived - I am absolutely delighted with it.
It looked excellent on the pictures you sent, but seeing it in the flesh and holding it is something to savour!
The red stitch back leather grip really finished it off too.
Thank you so much for your time, care, personal touch and most of all, a quality custom putter!
Had the Tacoma FPR for about 4 weeks. Fantastic, I love this putter. The extra weight inspires confidence and Tom even customised it for me. I can't recommend his services more. I'll be back!!!!
Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that the putter you made for my daughter looks fantastic and she loves it. Thank you.
Bellvue number 2 ! Well this is the easy part the putter is as good as my 1st ! The all round job is second to none (truly please dont take this as someone over estimating ) The putters are that good !! 3rd one being ordered now !! Toms great as are the team theres not one single area which is bad *well waiting is *But the best things come to he who waits !again first class service and product ! buy buy scottys hello SLIGHTERS !!!! Tom Cheers (Mr Andrew Siddle Director Uk Trade Solutions Ltd England
Amazing build quality and design. Balance, feel, sound - absolutely perfect. Customer service was top-notch. A GREAT experience and a WONDERFUL product. The only problem is if you buy one, you're going to want another because the entire process is such a blast! It's a real pleasure working with Tom on a putter that fits you perfectly.
Hi, What can i say? I found this web site in a spanish golf forum, and I was all the time thinking to have a Slighter Tacoma Putter!!!!. Today I have recieved my putter and the first impression was " It's almost so beautiful like my wife". The putter has a fantastic feel and balance, and this is not the last putter that you will make me. Many thanks Tom and your team to let me play golf with this wonderful putter. Take care and we keep in touch.
Just received my faithful old brass Bullseye putter back from Tom after he worked his refinishing magic on it - it didn't look this good the day it was built! What was once a somewhat beat-up but irreplaceable friend is now an immaculate tool. The turnaround time was a fraction of the estimated time required! Everything everyone says is true: service, packing, customer service, performance - all perfect.
I received my putter back from refinishing and the workmanship and quality of work was absolutely magnificent.After seeing the outcome I am going to have a couple more of my putters refinished.Do not hesitate to send your putter to these guys.Thank you Slighter Golf for a great product.
What a fantastic job by Tom and the Slightergolf crew! I just received my new personalized Kent putter to go with my Slighter Redmund that I also own. I am a putter junkie and love nice putters, after collecting some beautiful Scotty Camerons and Bettinardis I actully made the decision to sell my Bettinardi BB2 to pay for my new Slighter Kent and could not have made a better decision. The craftsmanship and attention to detail is above and beyond as well as the communication that Tom provides. I look forward to draining many putts with my new putter and will probably have another beauty made by Tom real soon, thanks guys!
Since Scotty Cameron refused to do custom work with my putter, I decided to put my trust in Tom's company. Tom has done numerous restoration and custom work to my Newport 2 Mid Slant putter (so much for Scotty Cameron). My putter looks so beautiful every time I pull it out of my bag I start whispering "oh Billy Billy Billy Billy". Tom's work is so impeccable I wouldn't think twice about sending it somewhere else for work. His knowledge, attention to detail, and honest words of advice make him and his company number one in my book. When I decide to retire the Newport 2, I anticipate on taking a trip into Slighter Golf to get custom fitted for one of his personal creations! Hats off to Tom and his crew for the wonderful work, and customer experience.
Tom,
The process of ordering, watching the progress and taking delivery of my Bellevue was a dream. Understanding, patient, attentive. Everything I had read meant that I was sure that would be the case.
I was also prepared for how good it would look. Having spent a good amount of time browsing your site before I ordered I knew what ever you did for me would be a work of art. And it is. No doubt about that.
However, despite everything I had read, I was not quite prepared for how good it would roll.
I've had it a couple of months now and I wanted to wait until I had tried on different greens and in different conditions before I wrote this testimonial.
All I can say is 'wow'! I've been lucky enough to play some great tracks over the last few months and my Bellevue has become a trusty friend over that time.
My home course, Craigielaw, is (of course) where the Bellevue has seen the most use but I've played at St Andrews - New Course (l-o-n-g putts), Turnberry - Ailsa Course (quick putts), Dalmahoy - East Course (slo-o-o-w putts) and Gleneagles - King's Course (wickedly breaking putts) in the last month or so and the Slighter has coped admirably with each one.
The weight, the balance, the feel ... all fantastic. I cannot thank you enough for the confidence having the Bellevue in the bag has given my game.
"Lang may yer lum reek".
All the best, have a great Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

(A very satisfied customer)
Just got my tacoma that Tom had been working on. AWESOME is all I have to say..very well balanced and it turned out excaly how I wanted it.
I have had many putters, from Scottsdale Ansers to Scotties, but I now have 2 Slighter Tacomas, and they are, by far, the best looking and feeling putters ever! Also thank you for the fantasic personal service.
Wow! That is really all that needs to be said.
Tom built me the first one piece Olympia putter to me very specific requirements back in 2005.
The communication during that time was excellent...the finished product was far superior to anything I've ever seen.
This putter will be in my bag for life.
Well what can i say ! (as a collecter of at least 3000 golf putters i think i know what quality is ! Ive many expensive classics and modern day putters , but to anybody wanting something personal and very well exacuted please please buy a slighter putter (they are that good) im ordering my second custom now !Tom has nothing but excellent in my questions and requests, the putter is better than i thought it would be ,but the balance and feel is undescribable, i only have 1 putter which is a equal !The whole process was fantastic and exciting ,(with me being in the uk tom and his team kept me upto date with progress and tom personally emailed to chat etc and give me feedback ! I would highly praise slighter putters and company for a perfect product and back up service which has been fautless !! To anyone thinking about custom then please do it truly is the way to go ! Thank you tom my friend and to all his team ( regards andrew siddle director mountjoygroup lt leeds uk )
I recently purchased and received a Portland model Slighter putter. Not only am I breathtaken my the beauty and performance of the putter, but also by the outstanding customer service from Mr. Tom Slighter and his team. Before I decided to order the putter, I talked with Tom via e-mail about his putters. The next morning, I would always receive an e-mail from him with nothing but nice comments and a very helpful personality. Any time I wanted to make a change during the process, it was very easy and I always received an updated spec sheet.
The putter was finished and shipped before the estimated completion date (always a plus), and I must say that his putters are absolutely gorgeous and the feel of them is amazing.
If you are thinking about ordering a Slighter putter, I would definitely recommend it. I would put his team's customer service and his amazing products up against anybodys. Thank you very much Tom!!
Only a few words to say : EXCEPTIONAL!!!
I've received the putter, on time and very professionally packed, and the same day I tested it, I sold my Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless Newport II, my previous putter I thought I would keep up as a backup.
No need, as high the quality of my new Tacoma is. Several rounds later, I know I've got my definitive gamer.
It rolls the ball so well and so far, that I've made adjustements in my putting stroke to swing sweeter, and I tap in a lot more.
All the members of my golf club felt astonished of the perfect finish the putter has and the quality of the work Tom has made.
Thank you, Tom, for your impressive craftmanship and customer care.
I wish you all Slightergolf the best.
First to all those folks contemplating purchasing a putter, do it! I do not know why more people aren't writing testimonials. With a lack of testimonials, I took a gamble and ordered a putter. I can tell you the following from my experience:
-Doing business with Slighter Golf was very easy. At times I felt something had to be wrong. It was like communicating with a customer service rep that says "yes" to your every request.
-I made several changes within the first two months. All I ever received was "here are the changes you asked for". No hassle!
-The wait is horrible. But than "good things come to those who wait". They told me up front how long it would take to build the putter.
-The "Check Progress" looks to be updated once a month. As a matter of fact my putter is still registering 80% complete. It is a nice touch and in my opinion only an estimate on your progress.
-The putter was delivered on the date advertised.
-I received photos of the putter before receiving it. These photos by no means give credit to this putter. However, seeing the photos gives a nice touch to their customer service.
-The putter was received within two days of being shipped. It was professionally packaged. The head cover is excellent.
So how does it play? My last three games with my old putter I putted a 29, 30 and 35. The slighter putter went from box to course and I putted a 28. I consider myself a pretty good putter to start with, but taking a new piece of gear from the box to course with that result is impressive.
I am already dreaming up a putter for my brother. I have no doubt it will be a Slighter.
Thanks a bunch Slighter Golf!
Still putts as pure as the day i got it.
Finest putter I have ever used. Lag putts are much better and so far,.. no 'threeputs'.:)
Outstanding craftsmanship, balance, and FEEL.
Thanks Tom!
once again tom delivers a work of art,finished ahead of time and it really is a work of art,slighter putters belong in the bags of the best players on tour,cant understand why they are not,once again tom is the greatest
There aren't enough words to convey the total pleasure of working with Tom to fashion my first custom putter. In every regard I felt like a tour player instead of a weekend warrior. His genuine desire to fashion the best putting instrument possible was always evident and the result was a significant improvement to my game, beyond anything I have acquired or could have imagined.
There is no doubt that Tom and his staff produce far and away the best putters, the opposition is a long way behind. The craftsmanship, feel, balance and weight is superb, and the company is a pleasure to deal with. Congratulations Tom and staff.
I was amazed by Tom's craftsmanship and enthusiasm. He's been attentive and responsive along the way. In brief, the putter's worth waiting and has supreme quality. I appreciate Tom's expertise and attention to the clients. Great putter-maker and an excellent friend! Highly recommend!
A few years ago when Tom was starting out he made me two beautiful works of art.I used them in the twilight of my professional golf career right up until that ball hit the bottom of the cup for the last time.Looking back on everything is always bittersweet ,but even now I can say that the only thing that still brings a smile to my face is the absolute perfection of those two putters.I hardly play anymore,though all i have to do is hold one of those putters and the good memories come flooding back.
I don't know if you will ever read this Tom but thank you.Thank you for those two little works of art that bring back the good times.If only for a fleeting moment.
My custom Tacoma turned out better than I ever imagined. The weight, the feel, the look, everything is outstanding.
I played with it on the putting green right after the postman dropped it off, and I can't wait to take it to the course and roll them in!
Cheers to Tom and team for all the great work!
I bought a Slighter putter knowing what I was looking for in a putter but very skeptical that Tom could deliever. I have had the putter for just about a month, and have played about 20 rounds with it, and I riped Tom off. He should have charged me double the price. The putters craftmanship is perfect. The lie, the weight, and the look is fantastic, I suggest everyone get fitted and seriously look at Tom crafting him/her a putter. Great work Tom, your service was 100% and your product is even better.
Tom added all the technical and artistict elements in producing a Portland for me that allow me to putt better than with any retail product currently avaialable as well as outperforming my gamer of the last 6 years! What more could a golfer ask for?
I sent my putter to Tom for some custom work and he was absolutely tremendous to work with. It looks and performs great! I am extremely satisfied and would highly recommend Slighter Golf to anyone.
Thanks Tom!!
If you want a great putter built just for you then Slighter Golf is the only place to go. I challenge you to find better folks than Tom and the Slighter Golf team.
Tom completed a great refurb / refinish on a Scotty that I thought was beyond help or repair , from now on all work will go to Tom .
May even get round to buying a'' Custom '' if I'm lucky Thanks TOM
I've just seen my putter and all i can say is wow fantatsic,its been a pleasue working with Tom Slighter,its been finished ahead of time and it looks great will definatly buy another 1,cant wait to play it now,gotta say its puts scotty cameron to shame.
I have just purchased a Bellevue putter. I requested a Welsh dragon design which is shown on the Welsh flag. The workmanship is absolutely incredible and the service received from Tom and the team exceeded all of my expectations. It was a pleasure to do business with them all and I know I will order more putters in the future.
Shaun Cameron
Slighter putters are first class, especially the customer service. 120% Satisfied customer. Will definitely order another custom putter in the future. Thank you, Tom!
I purchased a Bellevue, used, from James Gallagher. When I bougt it, I thought it was a cool piece, but I already had a Tacoma LN and wasn't sure if the Bellevue would get used or just swapped off. Well, I did few sessions on the practice green and was very impressed with the weight, appearance and feel. I put it into the bag on the 23rd of Feb and it blew my mind! I was making ten foot putts like they were 1-footers. The feel just got better as the day wore on! I have never had a putter that had a feel this solid or smooth. The Bellevue has impressed me like no putter has in the past 5 years, and I have rolled a ton of them.
If you are considering a Bellevue and like this style, GO FOR IT!! You will never regret your purchase.
Tom, you crafted a winner in this Bellevue and I am grateful for that. Also, many thanks to James Gallagher for giving me to opportunity to put this putter into my bag.
I couldn't be happier,

My new Portland long neck turned out even better than I had hoped. Perfect face balance and a heavier head make this straight as a string, and so easy to control. It also ended up beautiful, which I knew it would. Tom, thanks for your hard work and cooperation; I could not be more pleased, and I am already planning the next one.
Fantastic product and even better service. Tom is a great guy, a true craftsman, and a pleasure to work with.
Portland putter arrived today. It is exactly as I had hoped. Thanks to the team at Slighter Golf for producing the perfect putter for me!
Sincerely, Bruce Helbig
Tom made me a Kent, and one word sums up this putter.
SWEET.
I used to be in the business, and have either owned or putted with all of the best putters in the world. None of them stack up to the Kent in terms of quality, feel, or balance.
Well done Tom.
I received three putters one for me one for my father and one for my brother. mine is the tacoma. it is the best putter i have ever used the feel is great. my father and brother also love there putters. great investment!
Tom is great to work with and the finished product is just awesome! I've owned many putters but none as well designed as produced as the "Red Needle"! First round...5 birdies...the "Needle" is deadly! If you want a great putter you've come to the right place!
I just received what I'd like to think is the most gorgeous putter in the world. Of course I'm biased! Tom is absolutely the greatest to work with and the finished product is nothing short of exceptional. I highly recommend using Tom if you are ever considering spending some money on a putter. It will be money well spent!
I have had my Slighter putter for about 3 months now and I could not be any more pleased. I have been through my share of putters, but I can tell you this one will stay! Great work!
Tom just did a refinish for me that was out of this world. The durability of the finish is superb and the look and feel also are great!
Thanks again Tom.

I worked with Tom on customizing my Cameron Phantom putter. I love the work he did. He was a pleasure to do business with and his work is excellent.
Slighter Putters are hands down the best putters that I have ever used. I just recently received my left-handed Bellevue putter, which Tom made to all the specifications that I had requested, and it has exceeded all my expectations. Tom's craftsmenship, customer service, and attention to detail is second to none. It is simply a great putter, Thanks, Tom!!
The first weekend I brought out my new Slighter putter I shot 69 at my home course of Richter Park GC in Danbury, CT. It was my lowest round of the year. I didn't know if I could go any lower. That all changed this past weekend when I made 9 birdies and tied Ken Green's (former PGA tour standout) non-tournamnet course record at Richter Park GC with a 65 (par 72). I've had great success this season using my slighter, it's my gamer and I love it! Tom does an outstanding job and takes care of you all the way throughout the process. Highly Recommended.
I got my Tacoma and played with it the very next day in a tournament. As with any new club I thought it would take me time to get used to it but I was wrong. I sank a 10ft, 12 ft, 14ft and a huge 35ft putt for birdie to win with my Slighter. The putter was the best I have ever hit, the feel and balance was wonderful. Tom did a great job.
I played with my new TACOMA today and I must say that I have never had a putter that I could feel the sweet spot as well as this putter. I was a little hesitant at first to take my old putter out of the bag (it stayed in for my round today just in case), but I can proudly say that my old Bettinardi never saw daylight from under its headcover. Thanks again, and I can't wait to work with you on another putter soon.
Tom is indeed one the the industry's best! The customer service is superb, with Tom giving personal attention to every order. The end product is also a piece of art and excellent craftsmanship! To get such attention which have previously only been offered to PGA Pros is an opportunity that should not missed by anyone in the game!
Unbelieveable putter. I have had two scottys, one newport2 and one newport centershaft proto, this putter out rolls both of those. In addition to the quality of the product, Mr. Slighter made the whole process painless and the response time was very fast.
Just got the putter and what can I say!!! Wow!!! From start to finish Tom and everyone at Slighter Golf has been first rate. I first heard of Slighter putters from the forums section on Bombsquadgolf.com and was very intrigued at all of the positive stories. I contacted Tom about what I wanted and we made a Tacoma putter that was exactly what I was looking for. I gotta say, every single e mails that I sent were returned almost immediately. Tom's passion for perfection is evident in his work. Thanks again for the awesome putter.
I order a tacoma, which I am very happy with the putter. It roll the ball very good. I would like thank Tom for the excellent job.
I received my putter last week and was able to put it in play this weekend on our slick greens which are rolling @ 11.5. This putter has amazing feel, balance, and elegance.
Thank you Tom! You are an artist!!
Wow, the refinish job Tom did on my very old Mizuno putter was second to none. Made an old beat up putter that i love look like a brand new premium putter. The 3X black finish can out perfect and all of the stampings look right on the money. Working with Tom was a pleasure and I felt as if he cared about my putter as much as I do. Thanks Tom and will reccomend you to anyone.

Tom Slighter is the only person in the golf industry to make a fully custom putter from scratch and build it to the customers specs. He is not only a super-genius in his custom work but a really nice guy who wants his customers to be completely satisfied with his work. My Redmond is a piece of art and Tom does an exceptional job because of his passion for golf. Thanks again Tom... I will be ordering putters for my kids in the near future.... Jerry
This is my 7th season staring here in Sweden, winther has been horrible!
But the light in the night is this wonderful beauty that mr Slighter put together for me!
Have done a lot of puttingexercise on mat and some rounds -at last! - and done some tweaking, she (yes it's a she!) is cutted 0.5", repainted to black, red new decade grip and counter balanced 70gram.
I have never felt so confident on the green!
As a former national team target shooter, I know the meaning of focus in the moment.
This babe makes it just so easy!
Only bad with all of this is that I have become addictid and so have all the guys/girls trying her out to!
Thank you Tom, I really appreciate this you have made for me! Will make a black sister to her ;-)

Thanks to Tom and all the staff at Slighter Golf involved in the building of my custom Issaquah. I have been using it for over a month now and just love the roll that comes off the face of this putter. The balance and feel are exceptional. The whole process was so professional from the choices on spec right through to the day it arrived.
Anyone in search of a putter that is customised to their own looks and specs need look no further. Thank you ,and keep up the good work!
I have been a golf professional for 10 years and an equipment junky since I started playing. I just ordered a Tacoma long putter with some pretty exacting custom options. Tom was so unbelievably cordial and helpful in every way. In all my years in golf I have never experienced any better customer service. There is no doubt that Tom is headed for the bigtime very soon!!! Thanks and keep up the amazing work!
The latest addition to my collection has quickly become my gamer. Everything just makes sense with this putter - the clour, the sightlines, the weight - It's incredible! I said it about the Olympia I own, but this will take some beating to get it out of my bag.
Thanks Tom - I can't wait to get my next one.
I sent in my SS Newport Beach to have some "cosmetic surgery". It came back like a brand new putter. I had a longer hosel put on and you can't even see the weld. It looks like it was milled from a solid piece of steel. The paintfill looks like it came from the factory and the finish is a PERFECT black. Just even enough to look professional and just uneven enough to look like it was done by hand by a craftsman. I don't think my imagination could even match the beauty that bacame my putter. Tom Slighter and his team are true artists!
Geez, I purchased a blade proto from Tom in October 2003, unfortunately at that time it didn't suit my putting style but Tom immediately knew why and I could have had it corrected, but being in Australia made it difficult. One day I am going to treat myself again.
Congratulations Tom - will be in touch.
I am sort of an equipment junkie - I go through a lot of clubs - in particular - putters.
I never could find in a single putter, the look, the weight, and the style that I wanted. I always assumed a custom putter would be out of my price range. The I found Tom Slighter...
I got exactly what I was looking for. Working with Tom was fanttstic. The putter (a Tacoma) is indescribale. Tom sent me pictures of the finished product, but they do not even come close to doing the real thing justice. I am beyond satisfied.
I've held off for a month becuase I wanted to see how my putter would perform after the honeymoon stage. I'm even more happy with my purchase now than I was the day it showed-up.
Working with Tom was a real treate. In a word, 'perfessional.' My Kirkland with a sound slot is a real work of art. I love the feel, weight, and flow of my slighter creation. If you're on the fence about spend a few extra buck for a slighter putter (just like I was), have no fear. You will not regret buying such a masterful club. When Tom's lefty selection opens up a little more, I will buy another one.
I have played the putter for two weeks - by far the best putter I have every owned and I have owned just about all of them.
The quality, feel, workmanship, customer service, performance - all top notch!
Thanks Tom for a great product!
Theresa
Wow!!! That is the first word in my mind when I first saw the picture of a refinished Cameron putter via email!!! I was speechless when the putter arrived and in my hands. The putter is stunning with 3x black oxide finish. The weight of the putter is from 330g to 365g. Tom thank you very very much for putting up with me with all the crazy emails. I will definitely going to order a Tacoma from you in the future. Again many thanks to you and your staff!!!
I thought is was about time that I submited my comments on Tom's Fantastic Creation. I've been putting with it now for a few months, and feel that I can now comment on how fantastic the putter is. I have a Tacoma 350g at 35in. which sits beautifully in the hands, and indeed behind the ball. The feel from the putter is hard to describe, firm yet soft and very responsive without being clicky at all. Quite simply the best feedback that I have ever had from a putter (and I've had a few...). I've cut my average No of puts since getting the Tacoma by just over a stroke so I know it works. Also have to say that the Shipping box was awesome (nice one Mo!) and it was delivered weeks ahead of schedule. My only slight grumble is that my Putter didn't make it onto the Custom Putter Selection :-( Only Joking. Great Work Tom & the Team.
What a refreshing experience. Dealing with Slighter Golf has been one of the most enjoyable Golf equipment purchases I have ever made. I wanted a custom putter that was far from 'standard' in both weight and length. Tom was able to match
my specs perfectly. The personal attention and dedication to customer service is refreshing in this day and age of pre-
manufactured, take it or leave it marketing. I have several examples of that 'famous' club maker's putters and can say with
absolute certainty that the quality of my Slighter is on par if not superior to these clubs. Thanks Tom, and I WILL be back.
To anyone considering purchasing an authentic Tom Slighter putter, please read this: Why have you waited so long? Tom is by far one of the most dedicated people I know and will go to almost any length to make sure you have the putter you want. From the initial e-mail or phone call, you can rest assured that you will have the putter you want at the time of completion. It is not too often in today's society that I have received such good customer service. If you are considering having Tom make you a putter, give him the business. You won't regret it. I know I haven't.
This putter will be in the bag for a long time. Tom and his team did everything to make a perfect putter. My putter has extreme specs that no other company could meet, but Tom and his team acted like it was no problem and delivered my dream putter. Tom is an absolute pleasure to deal with and the only thing better than his attention to detail and his customer service is the quality putter that he makes. Awesome job!
Recieved my 34.5 in 345 gram Tacoma putter in May. It was a work of beauty. But I deferred recommendation until I have used it for a few months, since any new putter seems novel. After 4 months use I can say that not only is Tom's work great, but the setup, roll and feel of these putters makes putting one of the favorites of my game now. Great job Tom, highly recommend his products.
Thank you to the team of slighter golf. Tom you were awesome to work with and Troy thank you for our conversations a while back. All the others who I never talked to but played a role in my putter creation.. Thank you so very much!
This putter is absolutely amazing! The detail and craftsmanship are second to none. Perfect balance and exceptional feel. I have had Tour Camerons in the past and this putter beats them hands down. Tom went out of his way to keep me updated and informed, and really kept me involved in the design process. No cookie cutter putters here, every one is truly one of a kind. I have always liked my putter better than any other club in the bag, but now I am obsessed!
Tom,
Thank you for another magnificent masterpiece. This putter is amazing, Perfectly balanced and the best feeling putter I have ever rolled.

I read about Tom's work on BSG and after seeing the kind of putter I wanted on the website, I emailed Tom. I was floored to have a response from him personally within twelve hours and to see his personal contact info on the email as well.
After working over the spec sheet a couple of times, Tom started the putter and sent me progress reports along the way. When the box showed up at my door I was like a kid on Christmas morning!
The putter is absolutely beautiful and feels so good it's not even funny. It is the perfect weight, fits my eye really well, and puts a great roll on the ball. It took a little while to get used to (used a big MOI before) but now that I am, there's no way you'd get it out of my bag.
The putter was the reason I shot my career low round of -1 by making a tough putt for eagle on the last hole!
The question is not if I'll be ordering another putter from Tom, but when. In fact, my brother and I are getting ready to order one for our Dad for Christmas. How many guys have a putter with their company logo in the cavity after all?
Thanks again Tom, I really appreciate it!

This is my second Slighter creation. It's my first experience with a blade putter, but I have to tell you, this putter is absolutely beautiful. It truly is almost too pretty to hit. How does it roll? True. Absolutely true. Where you hit it is where you put it. The head is not too heavy and just looks clean when you look down at it. If you notice, I had sight lines placed on it and a target for the sweet spot. Right on target and the ball starts rolling immediately down that same line. I definately am going to enjoy this putter for a very long time. I dare say, it has replaced my first Slighter. Bravo Tom! You keep getting better and better. Will someone call Phil Mickelson? Tom has his putter!
I have had the Kirkland for approximately 5 months now...I have never putted better in my life...The heavier weight allows for a shorter stroke especially on the money putts inside 10 feet...The craftsmanship is second to none...I look forward to getting another one soon as I'm loving those custom jobs I'm seeing...This putter has kicked my SC's out of the bag for good...Just a great product by a man who is a pleasure to deal with...
I have purchased three putters from Tom and can say I have never seen better work. I just received a putter that I had Tom custom make for myself, it is truly a master piece, a pure work of art! As the owner of a golf repair shop, I can show my customers what a true putter should look and feel like. Tom the only thing I can say is thank you very much for the time and effort you put into every one of your putters, I'm sure there will be more orders.
Thanks again,

Tom,
Just got the Putter and Hat. Thanks a ton. The Kirkland puts my ping to shame. Shame on me for not going the extra mile and fixing my putting problems. When the game gets going I bet this will put me in the 80's. I know that seems high but you don't know what high is until you get frustrated and 2 and 3 putt. The putter will put a new meaning to the upcoming golf season! I am excited!
wellom!, what can i say. i have owned many scotty camerons, including the GSS and my newest Slighter is better. i just competed in a team event and under great pressure made some crucial putts. The ball stays on the surface and rolls better than any putter i have ever use. balance and feel i have never experienced before. i owe you Tom!
What can I say? I recieved my Tacoma on Monday and couldn't wait to get it home. Its a lovely looking putter, exactly what I was looking for. Well balanced and well crafted. Tom was a pleasure to work with and he is a great guy! Can't wait to get the putter onto the course. Alex
If you scroll back a few spaces you'll see a previous testimonial by me-- I swore I would never buy another putter! not even one of Tom's! Well, I mis-spoke. I bought another of Tom's putters. This time a Redmond, and a handsome devil (or angel?) it is. I had it for several weeks before I took it on a course-- I could not justify taking the Olympia out of my bag for ANY reason. But one day a month ago I had time for a quick 9 holes and I put the Redmond in the bag. First hole: 37 foot side hill left to right for par. I honestly wish I'd missed the putt--you know, put it within a foot or so-- because who's going to believe me when I say I made the first putt.... yeah, right sure. I am a good putter. I can putt with anything... but why putt with 'anything' when there are Slighter putters. And I have two of them! Different styles. I feel like a billionaire. The Rolls Royce today, the Bentley tomorrow. I think I'll probably go for one more. Are Tom's putters THAT much better than all the others? Yes, they are.
I received my Seattle putter just in time for our Club Championship. I can honestly say that I've never felt so comforatable and confidant with a putter in my hands before this one. The balance, weight, feel and beauty of your putters are second to none. Thanks for everything Tom and keep up the good work.
My clubmaker suggested that I try out a Slighter Putter. Regularly I end up leaving an extra 15 to 20 strokes on the course and instead of playing par or bogey golf, I play double or triple golf. I selected a Needle Prototype in Stainless. Tom was great. We spoke on the phone and hammered out what I was looking for and within 7 days he called with saying he had e-mailed me a picture of my putter head! After that, it didn't take long before a picture of my completed putter was on the website. Verdict: Simply amazing! My first round with my Needle got me back 10 strokes on slow and wet Virginia November greens yet! Now when I play a par 4, I can actually have a fighting chance for par instead of conceding double due to short putts. The weight and balancing are perfect and it feels like I'm holding something substantial in my hands. I now have the confidence I was lacking from over 15 feet in my putter. I don't have to hit the ball so hard anymore and just hope I get within 5 feet. Look, the putter is the most personal club in the bag and we ask it to do a lot. Pay whatever he's charging because it was a true work of art that performs better than I ever imagined. All of my putters are now gone with the exception of my Needle. Tom, is simply the man. If anyone knows any PGA Tour players out there, put them in contact with this guy. If amateurs love his putters, I can only imagine what Tour players would think. From one Tom to another, thank you for helping me save my game. I'll be in touch if I ever need a 'backup' for faster greens!
Tom, I tried the putter you made for the first time during a tournament. The feel of your Tacoma was so pure and the weight was perfect. Keep my info on file in case I need another. Thanks for working with me. I will be ordering putters for gifts soon. Mahalo, Steven
TOM IS SIMPLY AN AMAZING MAN
HE MAKES THE BEST PUTTERS
THANKS TOM
It has putted on the 18 at Pebble beach, Spyglass and Poppy Hills on the West coast, and Dozens of courses on the East Coast and a couple of places in-between. I have wanted to write this Testimonial for a while, but felt that a full season would make this even a more honest statement of my views.
It wasn't beginner luck! This is the single best putter I have ever used. I can not thank you enough. First, for allowing me to help with the design of the putter and then 2nd, executing exactly what we discussed.
For those of you that are possible customers of Tom. I never met Tom before working with him. I am not being paid for the time spent writing this. In fact, Tom will not even give me a discount for writing this (Hm, Tom we will have to talk about that).
I was a 12 handicap coming into the season. Driving, Long Irons, Wedges, Chip shots, that was my passion. On the green, I looked like a fool, I hated putting! In fact, I dreaded hitting that 10' putt, because I had a 5 percent chance of making it.
My GHIN index of this year (April-September) is a 6.3 . After thoroughly describing my putting with Tom, we worked on Weight, Sight lines, and other markings. It was an amazing experience. My putter is 360 g, heavier than any putter you will find in the market. The Deep mill markings on the face really help the ball the roll right off the face of the club. It is the flattest and most comfortable set up of any putter I have used in the past.
Driver: $399- $499 (Used maybe 14 times a round) Irons : $600- $1100( each iron maybe used 5 times a round) Putter: $200-$300 (Used 36 times a round, IF YOUR LUCKY)
The Club most used in your bag, should be the club that is most tailor made for you. Here is your chance!
Tom, I have been putting so good with the Redmond you made for me, I sold the Cameron Napa you refinished on ebay for $450.00. Thanks again for the great putter. Keep up the awesome work. Bill
tommy boy, your faithful bud doug hamilton here. just finish the member- quest at the contry club. putted like a crazy man with the new redmond you made me. in 2 of the matches, i birded the last hole to win them both 1 up. the putter came through as i was sweatin it. thanks again, dougie boy
i ordered a slighter tacoma that required some special work, and tom still got it to me very quickly. i have been looking for a high quality 'anser-style' putter with a T-sightline for a while. tom was the solution. the finished product is posted with the other 'select putters.' the feel is awesome. very well balanced -- it feels heavy in just the right places, both when you're holding it and when its being swung. the fit and finish are more than first-rate. just excellent.
it it the equal of any putter you could buy. the materials, the finish, the quality are as good as money can buy. the best thing about the putter is its design -- it looks and feels like it was made for a golfer who wants to make putts. when you open the box you feel like your money was well spent; the putter looks and feels like it was made by a craftsman, not mass produced with a fancy brand name. tom's service and ability is first rate. he is a great guy to work with! i would not hesitate to buy another, or two!
First of all I would like to praise Tom for a refinish job he did on my Napa. I asked him to do a 3X black finish with a red mill dot on the heel of the face. The result is on this website. The workmanship on this putter is better than any I have ever seen. I have owned several 'Tour Putters' made by most of the 'Great' putter makers. Tom is the most skilled putter maker I have found. I also had Tom Make a custom Redmond Slighter. I had always thought the Napa was the best putter for me period. I am now a Slighter Redmond user. The weight and balance and feel of my Redmond is better than my Napa. The workmanship is awesome. I just want to show this putter to every golfer I know. But I also have this part of me that is saying ' don't tell anyone you have to beat about Tom's putters'. I feel like I have the advantage over all those players that don't use a Slighter putter. Tom I don't have the words to thank you enough. You are simply the best at what you do. I am a huge fan of yours. The entire experience has been fantastic.
Bill
Tom Slighter produces one of the finest products available in golf. You can tell that the putter is solid right out of the box. It sits perfectly square at address. The putter remains in balance during the stroke and the sound and feel give incredible feedback. Also as important was Tom's commitment to getting my specs perfect. After becoming convinced that custom fitting is the way to go in irons, I wanted to accomplish the same with my Tacoma. After several emails and phone conversations, Tom built exactly what I needed the Slighter Tacoma is better than any other putter I have ever tried. Thanks Tom, you have made putting fun again
I had tom make me a Tacoma and what else can I say other than wow. The putter looks better than the Cameron's that I have owned sets up perfectly square and the balance is awesome. This putter is just what I have been looking for. Thanks Tom.
WOW was the frist word that came out of my mouth after i putted with a slighter. i have been playing with a scotty cameron for the past year and i did ok with it during the season. i started to get ready for next season just a few weeks ago and i saw that my dad had one in his bag so like anyone would and i took it and i played with. i can tell you straight up that the slighter putter putts 5 times better than my scotty. it was more solid and i felt the ball better after i hit it. it is a great putter and i just recently bought a Tacoma that i will gladly use next year while playing on my schools golf team. TOM I WANT TO GIVE YOU A BIG THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.
To Tom and Everyone at Slighter Golf, After the many weeks and e-mails back and forth. I finally received my Tacoma Putter to my specs. What can I say? As I pulled it out of the box and new this was going to be amazing. From the little personalized stampings, to the perfect milling on the face and extra weighting compared to most 35in. putters, this was PERFECT. I took it on the putting green at my golf club and it felt absolutely amazing in my hands. I specifically asked for my putter to be heavier than my current Scotty Cameron Newport 2 and it has done the world of good. Tom's putters are weighted perfectly, and seem to have brilliant face balancing.
This has now definitely replaced my Cameron for good and I am really looking forward to putting this to the ultimate test in national competitions.
Thank you Tom and everyone at Slighter Golf for going this far to make and create the best putter.
Thanks James Hirshfield
No putter I've ever used is even remotely close to the center-shafted Kirkland model I bought from Tom Slighter. What a pleasure! what a dream! what a hoot! Holds the line the best. Balance, weight, sound, all feedback is instantaneous and accurate. Alas, in some ways this makes me sad. I cannot imagine EVER buying another putter. Even from Tom. Also, I have removed the fancy head cover and replaced it with a non-descript dirty white sock. Purely as a precaution. As these putters become famous, and they must! you'll have to watch them carefully, like a teenage daughter ;) Thank you Tom, for the wonderful putter!
I have had my Slighter Center shaft for a couple of months now and couldn't be more pleased. Alignment, balance, distance control and touch have never been better. Craftsmanship and appearance are second to none.
I have owned way too many putters looking for that magical flat stick. Putters by Cameron, Bettinardi, Moore, Grace and Mills have all come and gone. The Slighter is what I have been looking for. I used to think on longer putts "just get it close", now I find myself thinking, "I can drain this one". Confidence in a putter is hard to come by, but is an incredible feeling once you find it.
Thank you Tom!
My team brought home the 'crystal' from last year's World Pro-Am at Pinehurst using putters from Slighter Golf! Your losing strokes if you don't have one of Tom's putters in your bag! I've had the opportunity to play with a lot 'tour' putters and my Slighter putters exceed all of them in quality, finish, and feel!
Tom, I've played golf for 35 years and can honestly say I have never putted with anything better than my new Bellevue. Your quality is better than Scotty's, and is way ahead of Ping or Odyssey. These putters are a work of art. If Ferrari made a line of putters, Slighter would be it!!! Keep making masterpieces like these and we'll see you at Augusta someday, Tom.
I am the proud owner of two of Tom's Bellevue putters. I bought one from him about a year ago, and liked it so much I ordered another one within a week.
To tell you how much I like them, I also have several Cameron's, 3 Bettinardi, and 15-20 others in my modest collection. I haven't used anything but the Bellevue since I got it.
The design and workmanship is flawless.
Thanks again, Tom!
Tom and Slighter Golf provides without question the finest level of customer service and high-quality putters in the Golf Industry. I custom ordered a Tacoma with very personal specifications. I can honestly say the work exceeded my expectations. Although Tom's website is great, it does not do the quality of his work proper justice. Tom listens to your requests and delivers! If you are in search of a exceptional quality putter, than look no further. Thank you Tom, you are a true professional!
Tom, I played this weekend with my new Kirkland mid-length (42 1/2in.) and couldn't be happier. Great feeling putter. 25 putts Saturday and 27 putts Sunday says it all. Thank you.
I recently purchased two putters form Tom and after owning many name brand putters, Cameron, Rossi, Bettinardi, Grace, and Odessy I can say that the quality that Tom produces is superior to the others in finish and feel, but the biggest advantage with dealing with Tom is the personal attention that you receive. I cannot say how impressed I am with Tom and his willingness to work with the customer and to provide the best degree of satisfaction that may be obtained. Great putters and great personal attention.
Having an extensive collection of putters, including many from Cameron, Bettinardi, Grace, Moore, Mills, Ping, Currie, and anyone else you can think of, I can honestly say that Slighter putters are at the very top of the heap in quality and performance.
Slighter putters have a tremendously soft, but solid feel that easily equals that of my Cameron GSS putters.
The quality of workmanship is easily the equal of the best that Bettinardi has ever produced.
If you don't make every putt you look at, you owe it to yourself to try a Slighter putter. Your putting game will be better for it.
Tom, sorry it has taken so long for me to provide a testimonial for your excellent work. You definitely deserve the praise you get.
Tom is one of the real nice, professional people in the industry that is a pleasure to work with. I have met very few people who try and accommodate the customer the way he does. That proves that he is customer oriented and strives for quality all the way to the final outcome, is the customer happy ?!! I custom ordered my Bellevue and received it quickly, exactly as my specifications except, better than I hoped for !!! Slighter Golf went beyond my expectations and produced a custom putter with high quality at a competitive price. I am very pleased with the outcome. My experience with Slighter Golf could not be better and I plan on additional putters in the future. Thanks so much Tom for everything !!!
Since my last name is Kirkland naturally when I found Tom's 'Kirkland' putter on E bay I had to try it. It is so much better than I ever imagined, the workmanship, attention to detail and wonderful feel is unmatched. I say this as a true putter 'junkie' who owns several Scotty's, Bettinardi's, Ping's etc. etc. You really should give Tom's putters a shot, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Thank you Tom from your newest satisfied customer!
I have used the Bellevue putter for several months now. It is an awesome putter. Thanks Tom. You make a GREAT putter!!
Tom,
Thank you so much! It looks awesome! I can't wait to take it out and play a few rounds. I'm sure it will putt and feel great. Thanks again for being so great to work with! It's been a great experience.
Thanks again...Michael
Tom Slighter is a absolute pleasure to deal with and a class act. He listened to what I wanted and produced exactly what I wanted.
In my humble opinion, his product is better than any Cameron Tour Putter that I've ever used. His quality, craftsmanship and value is unsurpassed.
Tom will always have my business and I look forward to working with him in the very near future.
Thanks Tom,
My Tacoma putter is the best putter that I have ever used. It has a lovely soft feel & it is nice to have my own personalized putter in the bag. all my friends have been jealous !
As a club Professional I deal with many different reps and companies, but your company has been the best to deal with by far.
Cheers, Daren.
I first heard about Tom's putters on BSG and eventually decided to get a putter done. Tom was an absolute treat to deal with from the beginning and made the process a lot of fun. I'm recently engaged and the two of us purchased a puppy named Chesney (Chezy). I decided to go with my fiances name on one bumper and my dog's on the other. I went with an Irish flag in the cavity because I'm Irish and we are going to Ireland on our honeymoon (during the Ryder Cup).
He sent pictures when the putter was completed, however they don't come close to displaying the beauty and craftsmanship of the putter. The feel is unlike anything I've ever felt and can't thank him enough for giving me a putter that not only means something to me, but sinks a whole lot of putts!
Thanks again Tom...which model do I want next? :)
I heard about Tom's work on BSG. The reviews were glowing. After additional research, the customization and value made the decision to go with Tom an easy one. Tom and I exchanged several phone calls and emails to get the putter I needed. We discussed the weight, the stampings, rounding off the head, the finish, grip, lie, the stiffness of the shaft, etc.
My Tacoma is a work of art. Not only does it have some putting improvement features, but the fit and finish was true crafsmanship. One golfer on the practice green came over and said, 'So you've got a new Scotty?' I said 'No, something better, a new Slighter.' Of course, he gave me an odd look.
But there is nothing odd about this putter. Great feel and consistency in rolling putts. A soft yet direct feel. The headweight is 360g and length is 33.5 inches. Just what I needed. My 20-30 footers with 6 balls in practice are all grouped together within 12 inches of the hole if they didn't plop into it.
I have a lot of confidence on the greens knowing that this putter was made for my game and my stroke.
Thanks, Tom.
I collect quite a few high quality putters and the Slighter quality is as good as it gets. It was such a pleasure to do business with Tom, I just ordered a second one.
Steve
My custom Olympia arrived on Friday and it is frankly, wonderful. It is literally perfect, the weight, the feel, the look, everything is right. I couldn't have dreamed on it turning out as fabulous as it is.
Tom and his team are a delight to deal with, professional, courteous and so highly skilled I can only predict amazing things for them. If Slighter putters aren't finding their way into tour players bags in the next few years I will seriously be wondering why. The workmanship is truly second to none.
I will, without any doubt, be forming a collection of Slighters in the future.
Great work Tom, many thanks indeed.
This was bought as a present for my 16yr old son, he (and I) absolutely love it, the attention to detail was excellent and best of all the milled marks on the face were lovely and deep. For the same price as a retail Cameron you can't go wrong. All I can say is thank you to Tom and all the crew at Slighter Golf.
Tom refinished a Scotty Cameron David Duval putter for me from a platinum to a black finish and added a site dot. This putter is magnificent. It is so unique that I hide it under a generic head-cover to keep it from being stolen! My experience working with Slighter Golf was so positive I had to let everyone know.
My Slighter Olympia is all you could ask for in quality and craftsmanship. As has been said before, Tom is a class individual and extremely talented club maker.
Anyone considering a custom made putter need look no further. Tom's ability rivals the top names in the business...he is just undiscovered as of yet. He is as down to earth as anyone you will ever meet and willing to spend the time to make sure the job is done right.
It's only a matter of time before the right door opens and he becomes known as a world class craftsman. If you truly want an entirely custom made putter Tom can create whatever you desire.
The feel of my Olympia is unbelievable. The head shape, stamping, and finish work is perfect. In the few minutes I had to spend on the putting green with my new addition. several people were wanting to know where they could get one.
Thanks, Tom! Get ready for a lot more orders!

I received my putter this week and it is a beautiful work of craftsmanship. I played 18 holes today with the Tacoma that Tom crafted for me. The conditions were adverse to say the least. It was cold and the wind blew 15 to 25 mph the whole round. The greens were super slick which is common in West Texas. I had 29 putts for the round. I was excited considering the weather. I can't wait to see how few putts I have under good weather conditions.
The feel of the ball as it comes off the face is exquisite. The roll was true and pure. This has been a fantastic experience. Having the ability to have a putter crafted to your specs and aesthetics is truly awesome and something every avid golfer should do. At least once. Tom's patience and desire to craft what you want is something rare and probably won't happen for to much longer. Someone is going to snatch him up in the near future. (NIKE read this.) If you're absolutely passionate about golf and you want to sink more putts, then your game deserves a precision putter. Thanks Tom!!
I have had the putter for 6 months now and it is by far the best putter available today. Balance and feel exceeded my expectations and definitely are better than any Scotty Cameron I have tried. I feel as if I can't miss. I have shaved 2 strokes going from a 6 to a 4 these past 6 months.
I received my Slighter Redmond in October of '04 and wanted to wait a while before giving my review. I've used a lot of putters and consider myself somewhat of a tradionalist. Mr. Slighter was a complete professional and was more than accommodating with me revising my specs several times, and it was worth the wait! The putter is absolutely stunning, and is of the up most in design and milling. The putter has a firm, but buttery feel when struck well and is weighted perfectly. Putts true and puts a great roll on the ball. Looking forward to new designs and finishes. Thanks a lot!
I currently have two Slighter putters and a third one on order. Tom has done an incredible job of building my putters to specs that suit my game. He's also done 6 or more putter refinishes for me that have given new life to some well used Cameron's and other putters I collect. Thanks Tom for the wonderful work you do. I can't wait for my black Redmond.
Haven't tried the Slighter Line, but I have nothing but positive comments for the free advice Tom gave me on refinishing my own putter. He talked me through things step by step at a very reasonable pace, ensuring I completely understood what I needed to do. I am very happy with the results, all in large part to Tom's willing commitment to help a fellow golfer try his hand at refinishing. Naturally, I replaced my Scotty headcover with a Slighter design.
Tom, you've got my future business!
The whole experience from initial enquiry to completion was a pleasure, thanks Tom for all your patience and your work is incredible.
Well Tom, You've done it again!
I am loving my Tacoma - feels perfectly balanced through the stroke. The feel at impact is just brilliant - soft and buttery, but not wooly.
Took it out for its first run at a nice Links course on the East Coast of Scotland - 28 putts, and no 3 jags for the first time in ages.
Cant wait for the rest of the season!!
Keep up the good work,
Scott
First off I would like to thank Tom Slighter for being a good person, and secondly for being an even better putter maker. I recently received my 2005 Kirkland from Mr. Slighter, and from the moment I took it out of the box all I could say is WOW. Everything about my putter is perfect, from the handstamping I requested, shape of the head, the milling on the face, all the way down to the headcover. I have had tour camerons, bettinardi's and even Bobby Grace's, but my putter search may be finally over. Mr. Slighter's work is second to none. He is a pleasure to work with and delivers a quality product. I cannot believe that a major OEM hasn't contracted him to make putters. How many putters could Nike sell if Mr. Slighter was making their putters? Anyways, I just wanted to put my 2 cents worth in. Thank you very much Tom! Keep up the great work.

I have played with many Cameron putters and my Redmond is far superior in every aspect. Tom makes a great putter. His attention to detail and customer service are far superior to ANY golf company out there. I am an aspiring tour professional and will not put anything in my bag that doesn't perform. The first time out with this putter I had 25 putts in 18 holes now its my gamer. Thank you Tom,
