PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas JingleBAM DAY 7 Golf Giveaway: SIK Golf Putter Review

SIK Golf has impressed me thoroughly since I first played one of their putters a few years back.  Currently have three models and know I'll be testing and playing other SIK putters as well.  And can tell you their DLT is legit, roll is pure, and and feel and balance is superb.  With all my SIK putters.

SIK gives you pretty  much everything you'd want from a putter.  And I can't say enough good things about SIK putters honestly.  So that's why I'm pumped to let you know my JingleBAM Day 7 prize is any SIK Golf putter you want!  Seriously, ANY PUTTER.  Pro, DW, Flo, SIK's going to custom build you a putter exactly how you want it.  Any model, any finish, any length.  You probably want to check out SIK Golf's webs site to get a feel for all the different models and heads and options.  And I'll certainly help with any questions you might have.

You can read my reviews of all the SIK putters here on my blog.  Like my first review on the DW 2.0 and most recent review on the Flo M.  But for now since one of you will be getting your very own custom built SIK putter, I want to hit again on a few things that make them really outstanding.

 

It all starts with DLT.  If you haven't heard about DLT yet here's a tech write up from the SIK website.  DLT technology is basically how SIK designs the face of all their putters.  There's a four degree change in loft from the top (which has the most loft at 4 degrees) to the bottom (which has the least loft at 1 degree).  And I'll admit when I first read about DLT before actually hitting my first SIK putter I thought, "well that sounds cool and all but I'm really not sure how that's going to help me putt better."  I can tell you now, there's not a putter face out there that's as self-correcting as this one.

Honestly, it's just fantastic.  To illustrate how DLT works, imagine if putter had no loft.  If you came into the ball with a forward press, you'd just be smashing the ball into the turf causing all kinds of goofiness.  But when a putter face has more loft (or graduated like SIK putters) even with forward press the face still has loft to roll the ball instead of drive it into ground.  SIK putters have more loft on the top of the face exactly for forward press/lean strokes.  I tested all kinds of strokes and ball positions, and got incredibly consistent distance control and roll with all.

 

I also want to touch on the quality of SIK putters I've played.  They're truly as good as it gets.  All SIK putters are completely milled from 303 stainless steel bars, and SIK makes their putters exactly the same way for people like you and me, as they do for their Tour pros.

You can choose a variety of raw heads and raw hosels.  Every putter is bead blasted, hand painted, spec'd out, cut, and gripped to your preference.  Quality clearly matters to SIK Golf, and the putter you wind up with will be uniquely yours.

 

And finally a word about feel.  There's a soft, deep click at impact that's very satisfying.  SIK Golf doesn't really talk much or hype their putters' feel (at least not in itself), but they should.  It's a premium, solid feel that you'll only find with a handful of companies in general.  ‪That strong sense of feel translates directly to balance and distance control.

Granted different models will have more or less stability, but overall SIK putter balance isn't extreme to completely control your stroke or take away feel, but there's still enough stability to keep you steady while allowing you to control tempo.  I've experienced this with all their putters.  And they all tracked lines incredibly well on putts of all distances.
