We leaned into Wild Wild West inspiration for the sole design — and once again, the key design feature is one of function first. Scottsdale uses a bullet sole to reduce head weight from the center of the head, creating a more forgiving design while also helping us hit our target weight of 355 grams. And it felt fitting for a bullet sole to reside on the sole of a putter inspired by outlaws.
Scottsdale, and broadly Arizona, was part of the Wild Wild West. This led us to study some of the intricate engraving on vintage pistols and knives from the late 1800s and early 1900s often found on cowboys and vigilantes roaming the desert. These patterns were beautifully detailed and the source of inspiration of Scottsdale’s sole.
The graphic package we created was also from this time period and draws inspiration from vintage movie posters and most wanted bulletins. Underneath the graphics you’ll also see the subtle slow milled pattern that helps to make our Small Batch designs so special.
