Comments about Hireko P169:Acer CB3 Putter - Clubhead:
I built the CB3 with the long putter adapter and the 53" Apollo putter shaft. I cut it to a finished length of 48". Capped it off with the Karma 2 piece grip.At first it just looked way too different and I could not stand to look at it. Well, off to [...] and I purchased a can of primer and White appliance paint... Ghosted it. Took it to the course and WOW what a fantastic putter.Easy to align is an understatement, it really is point and shoot. Now all I have to worry about is pace. Hireko should really offer this putter head in a white finish. It really makes the putter.
Comments about Hireko P169:Acer CB3 Putter - Clubhead:
Built it as a 46" long putter with about an ounce of lead down the shaft. What a fantastic putter! Short putts are so much less nerve racking than before. I used one of the broomstick putter adapters and it made the job super easy.

Comments about Hireko P169:Acer CB3 Putter - Clubhead:
The head weighs 405g as shipped. That's heavy enough to call for some counterbalance under the grip. I used about 110g. I really like the result. I am making more 5-10ft putts now, and lagging almost everything close. Since my second round with the CB3, the ONLY reason for a second putt over 2ft has been misreads of line or speed; the ball goes where I aim the putt with remarkable reliability.
Here are a few points I want to compliment on this putter head:
(1) The feel is nice and smooth, neutral. It has a nice little "ping" sound at impact.
(2) The long central spine is a wonderful aiming device. I am much more confident in the line because of it.
(3) Unlike most deep, weighted-corner, high-MOI putter heads, this one lets you scoop the ball as you would with a cavity-back "blade" putter. (But you use the side as a scoop, not the back.)
Bottom line: it has replaced my favorite putter of long standing, at least for the last 8 rounds. In fact, I lent my old favorite putter to a friend during last week's long outing and never missed it.

Comments about Hireko P169:Acer CB3 Putter - Clubhead:
I recently bought a CB3 putter head. I experimented by adding tungsten powder mixed with epoxy into the cavities in rear wings to bring the weight to about 400 grams. I also added 250 grams of lead in the shaft under the grip. After a few practice sessions,the results are fantastic . I would recommend this set-up to anyone. I think you would be pleasantly suprized.

Great feel and sets-up extremely well. Ball contact is very solid and putts roll very well.
