What is CNC Milling for Golf Putters Parts?
CNC milling for golf putters is a precision manufacturing process. It uses computer-controlled machines to mill putter designs from solid metal blocks. This technique creates the best face consistency with variances under 0.005 mm. This definitely beats cast putters that usually have 0.01-0.02 mm tolerances. Our precision-milled process makes the flat, precise surfaces that are much-needed for predictable ball roll and consistent distance control.

Our expert machining services guarantee consistent quality and tight tolerances, helping manufacturers produce superior products with unmatched performance.
Evolution of Putter Manufacturing
Putter manufacturing has evolved dramatically from wooden “putting cleeks” used from the 15th century until the mid-19th century. Iron heads became popular with the introduction of gutta-percha balls, while center-shafted designs, created in 1900 by Arthur Knight, weren’t legalized by the R&A until 1951. Modern manufacturing now employs computerized robotic testing for unprecedented quality control, making today’s high-end putters vastly superior to their predecessors.
The Innovation That Changed Golf
The groundbreaking Anser blade putter design by Karsten Solheim in 1966 revolutionized how putter manufacturers approach their craft with its cavity-back design and parallel alignment lines. When its patent expired in 1984, it became the most copied putter design in golf history, with over 500 PGA Tour victories using this design. This innovation demonstrates how precision manufacturing directly influences tournament performance on the green.

What Materials are Best for CNC-Milled Putters?
The best materials for CNC milled putters include stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and brass—each offering distinct performance characteristics. Stainless dominates premium putter manufacturing due to its excellent durability, consistent performance, and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for precise CNC milling with minimal tool wear. This material maintains dimensional stability in varying weather conditions and provides the ideal density for proper weight distribution in the putter head.
Balance Types and Performance
The global putter market values face-balanced putters at $2 billion in 2024 according to Research and Markets industry reports. These putters feature weight distributed evenly around the face, making them ideal for straight-back-straight-through putting stroke techniques. Toe hang putters, which place more weight toward the toe, work better for arcing strokes. Our manufacturing precision allows exact control over these balance characteristics.
Multi-Material Construction
Our advanced manufacturing techniques enable multi-material putter construction for optimized performance:
- Tungsten Weighting: Strategic placement of high-density tungsten (19.3 g/cm³) for enhanced perimeter weighting
- Copper-Nickel Alloys: Used in face insert technology for modified feel and feedback
- Specialized Polymer Inserts: Vibration damping while maintaining energy transfer
- Aluminum-Steel Combinations: Weight savings where needed while maintaining stability in critical areas
How does Quality Control Affect Putter Performance?
Quality control directly determines a putter’s performance consistency by ensuring precise manufacturing tolerances, proper weight distribution, and exact specifications. Yijin Hardware implements a comprehensive 15-point inspection process that verifies critical performance factors including face flatness (measured to 0.001 mm), weight distribution (±0.05 grams), and loft/lie angles (±0.25 degrees). These precise measurements guarantee that each putter meets exact performance standards.
USGA and R&A Compliance Testing
All putters manufactured by Yijin Hardware can undergo strict conformance testing to USGA and R&A specifications:
| Regulation Parameter | USGA/R&A Requirement | Yijin Testing Method | Our Standard |

| Length | Minimum 18 inches (0.457 m) | Calibrated measurement fixture | ±0.5 mm of specification |
| Face Grooves | Must meet depth/width specifications | Optical measurement system | 100% compliance verified |
| Shaft Attachment | May attach at any point on head | Visual and angle verification | Exact specification match |
| Balance | No specific requirement | CMM weight mapping | ±0.05 grams at each point |
Scientific Performance Testing
Our in-house laboratory testing goes beyond basic measurements to analyze actual performance characteristics:
- Stroke Robot Testing: Computer-controlled stroke analysis ensures consistent ball roll
- High-Speed Camera Analysis: 10,000+ FPS cameras verify ball launch conditions
- Impact Sound Analysis: Audio frequency measurement for consistent feedback
- Off-centre Hit Testing: Performance measurement on heel and toe strikes
What Customization Options are Available for Golf Putters?
Customization options include head design, face patterns, weight distribution, hosel configurations, and finish treatments—all meticulously crafted to individual preferences. Yijin Hardware’s craftsmanship rivals brands like Bettinardi, Odyssey, and Cleveland in quality while offering complete customization capabilities from traditional blade designs to complex mallet styles with specialized alignment aids. Our design collaboration process ensures that each custom putter meets the exact specifications required for optimal performance.
Putter Head Designs
- Blade Putters: Traditional design with minimal alignment features
- Mid-Mallet Putters: Balanced combination of forgiveness and traditional look
- Mallet Putters: Maximum forgiveness with high MOI (10,000-14,000 g·cm²)
- Specialty Designs: Custom geometries for specific performance needs
The latest innovations use zero-torque technology that minimizes face rotation during the stroke, similar to designs that have exploded in popularity on professional tours. These specialized putters utilize balanced weighting systems that resist twisting forces for unprecedented putting accuracy.
Face Technology Options
Face technology significantly impacts ball roll characteristics and can be customized for specific performance goals:
| Face Technology | Technical Specification | Performance Effect | Player Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional Milling | 3.0-4.0 μm Ra surface roughness | Consistent friction coefficient | Predictable distance control |
| Groove Patterns | USGA-compliant depth/width | Reduces skidding phase | Earlier forward roll |
| Insert Technology | Material hardness 70-90 Shore D | Modified impact sensation | Customized feedback |

What Our Clients Say
Golf Putter Parts Manufacturers FAQs
The manufacturing timeline for custom golf putters typically ranges from 4 to 8 weeks depending on complexity and quantity. Prototype development generally takes 2 to 3 weeks from finalized designs, including CAD modeling, initial machining, and preliminary testing. Small batch production (10 to 100 units) requires an additional 2 to 5 weeks for complete manufacturing, quality control, and finishing processes. White lines or other customization features may extend this timeline slightly, though we pioneer efficient production methods to minimize delays.
CNC-milled putters offer superior performance through precision manufacturing that maintains face flatness within 0.005 mm compared to cast putters’ typical 0.01-0.02 mm tolerances. This precision directly impacts face rotation and consistency by ensuring uniform contact across the entire putter face. Additionally, CNC milling allows for exact weight distribution with tolerances of ±0.05 grams, creating more consistent MOI values (7,000-14,000 g·cm²) for better performance on off-center hits. The solid metal construction also provides better feedback and feel compared to cast putters, which is why many LIV and PGA professionals prefer milled putters.
Yes, CNC-milled putters from Yijin Hardware fully conform to USGA and R&A regulations when manufactured to proper specifications. Our manufacturing process ensures compliance with key regulations including maximum loft not exceeding 10 degrees (though negative loft is permitted), minimum length requirement of 18 inches (0.457 m), and proper shaft attachment. We carefully control putter characteristics including face texture and groove configurations to remain within tournament-legal specifications. Many golf equipment regulations focus specifically on the putter, and we can provide documentation showing how each perfect putter we manufacture meets these exacting standards.
