A New Way to Build a Milled Putter
Van Allen Golf introduces a groundbreaking blade putter that blends the timeless feel of a milled steel design with innovative engineering. By incorporating a removable face, we’ve unlocked new possibilities in weight distribution, sound, and feedback without compromising the classic look and durability golfers expect. This putter is meticulously crafted to deliver unmatched precision and consistency right out of the box, redefining what a premium blade can achieve.
The Evolution of Blade Putters
Premium blade putters have long been crafted using two primary methods: milling from a single piece of steel or building around a face insert. Each approach has its strengths, but also its limitations. At Van Allen Golf, we’ve reimagined the blade putter to combine the best of both worlds while eliminating their tradeoffs.
Traditional One-Piece Milled Putters
The classic one-piece milled putter is a favorite among traditionalists. Its straightforward design is consistent, reliable, and delivers a familiar feel that many golfers trust. However, this simplicity comes at a cost. Once milled, the putter’s weight distribution, sound, and feedback are fixed—leaving no room for customization or refinement beyond the initial design.
Insert-Style Putters: Flexibility in Design
Insert-style putters offer enhanced flexibility. By combining different metals for the body with a tailored face insert, manufacturers can fine-tune softness, sound, and feedback to suit various player preferences. This approach allows for a customized experience, adapting the putter’s performance to align with individual putting styles and preferences.
The Van Allen Golf Difference
At Van Allen Golf, we’ve taken a bold new approach to putter design. Our putter is fully milled, delivering the clean look and direct steel-on-ball feedback of a traditional blade. But unlike conventional designs, it features a removable face—not for mid-round tweaks, but to unlock smarter, more precise engineering inside the head.
Engineered for Precision
By machining the face separately and securing it with a top-entry slot and two underside bolts, we’ve created a putter that feels and performs like a single-piece milled blade, but with unprecedented control over its internal dynamics. This innovative design allows us to:
-
Fine-Tune MOI: Adjust the mass and shape of the face to optimize Moment of Inertia (MOI) without increasing the head size, ensuring stability and consistency.
-
Enhance Sound and Feel: Modify thickness and pocketing behind the face to craft the perfect sound, balance, and feedback—features impossible in a one-piece design.
-
Maintain Classic Aesthetics: Preserve the timeless silhouette and pure steel-on-ball feedback of a milled blade, free from bonded materials or visible tech.
Built to Perform, Ready Out of the Box
Our putter is tuned, balanced, and ready to play from the moment you open the box. While the face can be removed to redistribute weight or swap to alternate face plates in different materials or mass profiles, it’s not designed for on-the-fly adjustments. Instead, this flexibility allows us to build a putter that’s better from the start—crafted to feel right in your hands and sound perfect off the face.
A Putter Built to Last
There’s no plastic, no gimmicks, and nothing to distract from your sightline. The Van Allen Golf putter is a clean, confident blade engineered for serious golfers who demand consistency and durability. It’s designed to deliver exceptional performance from day one and built to maintain that standard for years to come.
Conclusion: Precision Redefined
The Van Allen Golf putter isn’t just another blade—it’s a revolution in design and engineering. By combining the timeless feel of a milled blade with innovative internal customization, we’ve created a putter that delivers unmatched precision, consistency, and performance. Experience the difference for yourself and elevate your game with a putter built better from the start.
