Social media went somewhat berserk when Sergio Garcia rocked up at the first LIV Golf event of the 2024 season in Mexico with an unusual-looking putter from a brand even the nerdiest of equipment geeks had never heard of. It made its way into the Spaniard’s hands via his manager and was immediately validated, as Garcia went on to narrowly lose in a playoff against Joaquin Niemann. With my curiosity officially piqued, I reached out for a sample and it arrived just a few days later!
The Maker putter comes from the Swiss company Golfyr. It is the first product of seven planned for release in the Spring that all use Carbonics technology to improve performance and reduce the need to carry 14 clubs. There will be a driver called the Opener, a hybrid called the Mover, a hybrid iron called the Butler and a wedge called the Saver. This concept explains the 7 > 14 logo inscribed on the material bag the putter came in. The construction of the Maker comprises a full carbon body with two internal weights that run the full length of the heel and toe to increase the size of the sweetspot.
