I love mine also. The only thing I could ask for is a 370g head with black thunder finish and the words xcellerator removed. One of the best putters Ive ever played.

Couldnt agree more, I have one in my bag, its awesome. Love it, puts a great role on the ball. Its a lil light for me, but I like heavy putters.
I would highly recommend one.

I presume yours is a 360 gram head, right?

Has anyone considered adding a little weight? And how would you do it?

Headweight. Grip. Shaft. Shaft band. Headcover. Insignia. Personal attention to detail, I presume, with only 103 made.

What is the shaft difference? I checked the US '03s out on ebay. Looks like heavier headweight is due to the fact not all the holes are drilled all the way through like prod. models. Very sweet putter.

I would think a good way to add some head weight would be to inject an epoxy tungsten powder mixture in some of the partially drilled holes?

I would add it to the holes near the rear perhaps that would help MOI you guys gotta see the new Japan Bee I will post pics of mine when I get it in a few weeks great brown/antique color nice markings fancy grip all around a nicer club 340, 360, 370 gram heads will be available. I love the bee my only prob with it was when I put my Maru XM360 into play my skills were very sloppy the Neo Mallets are best when you first start using them and tend to get my putting stroke sloppy over time so I switch back and fourth and It seems to work great.

Contact Todd at TKSputters.com, but I think he will tell you the O3 shaft is lighter than the production models. Mine swing weights at E-5, FWIW.

Hope this helps.
