BENSALEM, Pa. (WPVI) — A Bucks County father who spent the pandemic watching engineering videos and golf putter reviews turned that interest into a Bensalem-based company now shipping custom golf putters around the world.<\/p>\n
Makefield Putters was born after founder Everett Farr decided he could build a better putter. More than a year of testing went into refining the club’s angles, alignment features and adjustability.<\/p>\n
“I started watching YouTube, saw some technology,” Farr said. “I think I can make a better putter.”<\/p>\n
Farr eventually began experimenting with the idea.<\/p>\n
“Then we got a couple of shafts, drilled the hosel and put it together, and then we tried it out,” he said.<\/p>\n
Today, the putters are made through a 13-step process at the company’s Bensalem facility.<\/p>\n
“We touch on this, cradle them, and then we cut them into a blank,” Farr said. “Then we put them through an automated machining process.”<\/p>\n
Golfers can customize their putters with colors, alignment lines, logos and names. Customers can also select their lie angle, shaft and grip.<\/p>\n
Each putter is assembled and tested before being shipped.<\/p>\n
“We send the specs to the people. They get a little card. We’re doing all these different things for them. Big custom box, and you’ve got a putter,” Farr said.<\/p>\n
Farr’s first model was the VS. The company now produces dozens of putter styles and variations.<\/p>\n
The business gained momentum after its first appearance at the PGA Show.<\/p>\n
“We went to the first PGA Show and won PGA technology of the year,” Farr said.<\/p>\n
Makefield Putters now sells thousands of putters annually and ships them worldwide. Golf professionals, celebrities and athletes, including Brandon Graham and John Kruk, use the putters on the course.<\/p>\n
For Farr, seeing a product made in Pennsylvania reach customers far beyond Bensalem remains a rewarding experience.<\/p>\n
“It’s cool,” Farr said. “I remember the first time years ago that I went into a retail outlet and saw something I made. You’re like, ‘Oh my God, I made that.’ I went into Walmart and said, ‘Oh my God, there’s my product.’ So it’s cool.”<\/p>\n
