FAQ

  • Why can't I replace the insert on an Odyssey Dual Force line?
    The Dual Force are difficult for many reasons: The stock stronomic material is very difficult to remove. It will not boil out. The pockets are not machined surfaces in the Dual Force. This makes fitment of a new insert very challenging The Dual Force inserts usually contain loft, which adds manufacturing complexity.
  • Why buy a new putter insert?
    Most putter inserts are replaceable. Overtime and use, the putter face can become damaged or aged and performance can drop. Replacing the putter insert gives the club new life. Aftermarket solutions are also an opportunity for a customization or improvement over what a high-volume factory installed, and it's also good for sustainability. A putter should not be thrown out because the insert needs to be replaced.
  • Why not use 3M doublesided tape to affix inserts?
    True, many manufacturers used 3M VHB tape to affix stock inserts. This adds what some may consider a "spongy" layer between the ball impact surface and the putter head. A putter head and face that act as one is a more optimal design. Using epoxy to bond the insert to the head provides a more robust and consistent feel.
  • Why does copper cost the most?
    Copper is a soft metal, but it's tough on tools and takes extra time. Tooling requires more frequent replacement and it's also slower to machine.
  • What material should I choose?
    Materials come down to feel, acoustics, response, weight and more. Metals have the most response but the most weight. Non-metals are a touch softer, but can also have a more pronounced response, like smooth gloss twill carbon fiber. Both Aircraft Aluminum and Tellurium Copper are soft metals, but copper has 3 times the density, so it weighs 3 time as much.
  • What insert is closest to the original?
    Carbon Fiber Fusion is most like the original but with the added benefits of durability and the carbon being self dampening.

  • Why different materials for putter inserts?
    Materials vary with respect to what you want to accomplish. Copper is so soft metal that adds weight with deep acoustics. Aircraft Aluminum is a lighter, soft metal Smooth gloss twill carbon fiber is one of the lightest and most responsive materials Carbon fiber fusion the softest material, especially with horizontal grooves
  • What is a putter insert?
    The putter rulebook has always allowed the impact area of the putter to be a different material to the rest of the putter body. Most putters are metal, but not everybody wants metal contacting the ball, hence club designers started changing the face of the putter to a non-metal or soft metal solution to aid feel, response and repair. At PutterParts, we strive to offer material solutions including higher technology materials like carbon fiber used in motorsports and aerospace.
  • Why are you biased toward big brands like Odyssey, TaylorMade, Ping, etc?
    The business of putter inserts works best in numbers. It's a loss to design and make just one insert. Selling multiple inserts of the same design is how we have stayed in business for more than a decade. Small brand are possible, but less common and the price has to be higher.
  • Why use epoxy to affix inserts?
    We want the insert face and putter body to act as one. Other methods like tape create a barrier between the putter head and impact face. This can affect feel, consistency and durability. Many parts on airplanes or high performance cars are bonded together with epoxy, not tape.
  • Do you design more than inserts?
    Yes we do. We have designed heads, hosels, alignment aids, ballmarkers and more. Many have NDA's where we can't discuss further, but if you have a dream or idea to make a reality, we can definitely talk and come up with a quote.
  • How many variants of putter insert are there?
    Hundreds per brand. When we started, wet thought there were a few. After a decade of making parts for Odyssey, TaylorMade and Ping, we can say one size does not fit all.
  • Why do I need to bother sending a picture of the putter?
    There are many names and model re-releases and 100's of insert designs and shapes. For instance, there is a New Odyssey Tri Hot and an older version, both with the same name. Therefore, picture confirms which putter variant you have and the right insert shape can be shipped to you.
