Daiwa Broomstick

[Billy T]

Going back to the mid 90's I wish i never sold my Daiwa Broomstick.

Would anyone have one they would be interested in parting with?

Last traded in Wagga

There was a guy on ISG trying to sell one a while back going by the name of Brownman. Good luck!

I'm an Old School Daiwa putter man myself.

I have one. It has been cut down a couple of inches, though, as I am vertically challenged. I am in Albury. It is almost brand new - I've only used it 3 or 4 times. $85 + shipping? Let me know if you are keen. I am in Albury.

Hi oz, I could be interested the price seems ok. When you say a couple of inches do you mean 2?

What model is it, any chance of a pic? Thanks for your help

Thanks for the tip MegaWatty, still using a Daiwa?

Yup. Got the Pro Balance 5502, 5504 and 5505! Great feeling face balanced putters.

The 5504 is my gamer that I've had for close to 17 years now. It spent a lot of time out of the bag, but I really can't see it being changed anytime soon.

Sorry BillyT - I have been hammered at work today. Just got back to this. I will measure it tomorrow, and try to get a pic up for you. It will be later in the day - sorry.

Mine is a Daiwa LP Series X with Milled face. It is 44.25" and has the split grip (in black/white wrap). It is in 9.5/10 condition. Camera is out of the house today, so pics not available today. Let me know if you are interested.

Hi oz, I found this advice regarding the recommended size for a broomstick "In theory, a chest-putter stance is a little more upright than a conventional stance. With your left hand (presuming you are right-handed) on your chest and your forearm comfortably level, have someone measure to the top of your left hand while holding your stance and add 1/2" to that number so a little bit of the grip extends above your hand. (For your reference, I am 6'2", and my chest putter is 48" long.) Being 6ft tall that would equate to 46", not much difference from 44.25". I will go to my local pro shop and see if I can try out some different sizes (if they have one) and get back to you.

Cheers Bill

Hi MW re the Daiwa putters I have attached some pics of mine. I have also been trying a Brosnan that a friend gave me, but I had 42 putts last week

Mega, you're asking for trouble with a statement like that. Next week you'll probably have 6 three putts and be back in here looking for something else ;)

Nup. That won't change my mind. ;)

I had a 3 jack from 2 feet on the first last week. I thought it was all over. Next hole....15 feet for birdie and 29 putts for the round. We have an understanding. :)

Mine is the same as that ebay link - just 1.5" shorter - plus my grips are fitted better, with a more sapce between the 2 halves of the split grip. $85 shipped if anyone's interested.
