Well it looks like I offended a few people by recent posts showing support for our flag ????, President Trump, our country and also not supporting fake hate crimes, racial divide, people tearing down our nations history and I never will. If I lose customers because of my stance I’m ok with that.
Because of my recent posts and stance PGATSS let us know they will no longer support our brand.
Piretti is a Houston based company that makes high end putters. PGA Superstore will no longer carry their line of putters across the country. Tony Finau has been gaming a Piretti for a few years. Henrik Stenson won the Fed Ex cup with a Piretti.
Pretty ridiculous from PGATOUR SS

Yes sir and its not over yet.
Piretti makes some nice looking putters, but they always seemed a little on the heavy side to me.
Shame on PGATSS bowing to the pressure.

I’ve been to the shop and tried a number of different flat sticks. It’s not the best place to learn how they work but they definitely fit every spec of a putter to you. Ended up not buying it because the pace wasn’t enough for me but might go back and buy one just to support them. Sad a company made this kind of choice for a USA company. How many manufacturers are overseas that have significantly less standards. This is obviously politically motivated.

They’re well made putters. Mike, the owner, is a good friend of mine. I am a mallet guy but got him to build me a face balanced blade that swings a lot like my mallet. It’s a weld neck tour only commentating the 2019 Masters, so I’m just hanging it on the wall of my simulator room. I just hope people look at his putters when making their next putter purchase.

will be my next putter purchase

I’m not in the market for a putter but I’ll get me a shirt or hat if they have them.

PGATSS is trash anyway.

I agree.
I buy all of my golf equipment in Houston from Mike at Impact Golf on Dairy Ashford.
Small shop and limited inventory, but he can get whatever you want in n a hurry and he is a great clubbuilder and fitter.
Several Senior Tour and Mini Tour guys have Mike work on their equipment.

Did Trevor Sauntry sell that place? Dude was an absolute stick 6-7 years ago when I played with him.

Trevor's place is north of Houston with a similar name. He is doing well with a Club Champion style store plus he is now the official clubbuilder for the Long Drive Association.
Trevor's one of the longest hitters that I have ever played with. He use to hit a Adam's Speedline Ti 3 wood 300 yards when he wanted.
I saw him hit the green on number 17 on the El Dorado course at Quail Valley for those that know the hole. It is all carry over houses backyards.
Super solid golfer, but he always seemed to have that one bad round in tournaments.

Couldn't agree more. Very high quality putters at a much lower price for an equivalent Scotty and IMO, are better than the entire Scotty line up.
Handful of niche/boutique putter builders that are starting to make a name for themselves, Piretti is one of them.
ETA: is Stenson still involved? I knew he started using one after some tinkering and may have heard he bought in.

He used one when he went from losing his game to winning the FedEx cup. Then he signed that mega deal with Callaway forcing him to use an odyssey. He invested in Piretti and the the owner bought him back out. So no, he’s no longer involved.

I played a cottonwood ii for a few seasons. Loved the look and feel but hated the sound. They make some very good looking flagsticks though

I don't even play golf anymore and might buy one to support them.

Did you ever clarify what question Cruz was dodging?
Also, do you have links to the post. Color me skeptical that you wouldn’t be intentionally misleading.
