My name is Everett Farr and I am the founder of Makefield Putters.
When the COVID-19 pandemic started, I started leaving work early every day to help my wife with my adult autistic son. As everything was in lockdown, my son's aid could not come to our house to work with and help him. During this newfound time spent at home, I became all too familiar with watching a lot of YouTube videos to pass the time. Most of what I watched were engineering and construction videos, but I also became fascinated with putter reviews and promotional videos.
At the age of eleven, I started golfing because of my dad; a true lover of the game, he was also a PGA Rules Official. I had grown up watching putters evolve from the good 'ole days when Ping started selling their illustrious putters. One day in 1968, I finally convinced my dad to get a Ping putter. To this day, I still have this original Ping putter and use it occasionally when playing.
The more YouTube videos I watched, the more I started listening to some of the concepts and promotional videos. I listened carefully to different companies explain how and why their putter would help you putt better: observing the concepts of placing weight here or there, the balance of the putter, how this putter spins, how this one helps you putter align, or how this one's shaft creates a forward press from the start. I discovered numerous valuable concepts and theories throughout the videos, but as a lifelong golfer, I found the engineering principles lacking.
A putter propels a ball on a path. This path is dictated by the putter's positioning and face alignment in striking the ball. I started visualizing the unique concept of perpendicular weights attached to the face of the putter that would promote face stability while also forcing the putter's face to stay straight and square. I knew I needed to create density in the face so that the ball would progress to a forward roll as fast as mechanically possible. Electronic testing of the initial design revealed an outstanding performance, with our putter starting to roll forward immediately. More than a year was spent constantly testing the lie angle, putter face alignment, shaft bending, and weight adjustments to ensure we created the best putter possible.
The name Makefield Putters is close to my heart; my son likes to go for daily car rides throughout Bucks County, Pennsylvania. On one of our trips, I was going through various permutations with my wife of what I wanted to name the putter company, and every idea had failed for one reason or another. As we were driving along the Delaware River, we both spotted a sign for Lower Makefield, a township in the County. We both, almost serendipitously, said "Makefield" at the same time. I said, "'make' is what a putter is designed to do and 'field' is who you play against in a tournament."
Makefield Putters, was instantly born. Our first putter model is the Makefield V-S in honor of Vince Sullivan, my dear friend and mentor who recently passed away. Vince was an extraordinary human being and a remarkable professional golfer and teacher whose legacy will live on in our zest for golfing.
At Makefield Putters, we share an unwavering commitment to the quality and performance of our putters. From one golfer to another, I know you will love golfing with the Makefield difference.
The Makefield story
Our History
From a kitchen table in Bucks County to a machine shop in Bensalem — the milestones that built the truest roll in golf.
2020
During the COVID-19 lockdown, Everett Farr begins sketching a new kind of putter at his kitchen table in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. His concept: perpendicular face weights that keep the putter square through the stroke and start the ball rolling forward immediately. Electronic testing of the first prototype confirms it — the idea works.
2021
Makefield Putters is officially named during a drive along the Delaware River: “make” is what a putter is designed to do, while “field” represents who you play against. More than a year of relentless refinement follows, with lie angles, face alignment, shaft profiles, and weight configurations tested and perfected. The Makefield V-S launches, honoring Vince Sullivan — friend, mentor, and remarkable teacher of the game.
2022
The Makefield TF Series debuts with three precision-engineered half-moon mallets in three distinct sizes: the TF Tour, our smallest mallet; the TF-X, our mid-sized mallet; and the TF, our largest mallet. The series is named after Everett “Tom” Farr Jr.
2023
The first descendant of our flagship VS model arrived: the VS-F is for the player who loves the shape of a “Fang” and needs a driving launch angle paired with decisive ball roll.
2024
The Makefield Long Putter Series debuts, bringing Makefield technology to players who prefer a taller stance and more vertical shaft.
2025
The award-winning Defiant debuts, boldly engineered to defy convention and redefine precision and control on the green.
Today
Precision-milled in the USA and trusted by golfers who take the short game seriously, Makefield builds every putter with the same obsession that started it all.
The Original
The Makefield V-S
A putter worthy of its name. Our first model carries the initials of Vince Sullivan — professional golfer, teacher, and the mentor who shaped how we think about the game. The V-S is everything Makefield stands for in one flatstick: precision-milled American steel, patented Radial Cusp Face Technology, and the Path-of-Inertia X-3 Weight System working together for immediate forward roll and a face that stays square through impact.
It's not a tribute that sits in a case. It's a putter built to make putts — because that's how Vince would have wanted it.
Fitted to you
No two strokes are the same
Why custom fitting matters. Everett spent over a year testing lie angles, shaft bends, and weight configurations because millimeters matter in a putter — and they matter in your stroke, too. That's why every Makefield can be custom-fit to your setup, tempo, and stroke arc.
Build your spec online through our putter configurator, or visit a Makefield certified fitter for an in-person fitting. Either way, you get a precision-milled putter matched to the way you actually putt — not the way a stock putter assumes you do. Your stroke is yours. Your putter should be, too.
From one golfer to another
Join the Makefield family
Makefield is a family company in every sense — started at home, named on a drive with the people Everett loves, and built for golfers who feel the same way about this game that we do. When you put a Makefield in your bag, you're not buying from a faceless brand; you're joining a company that answers its own phone and stands behind every putter it mills.
Roll one, and you'll feel the difference. Love it, and you'll never putt with anything else. That's not a slogan — it's a promise.
