Sanfirth Golf Batch #1 Putter
Small batch releases in golf equipment carry a certain mystique. Limited numbers, hand-finished details, and a brand betting everything on getting the release perfect. Sanfirth Golf enters the arena with their debut release, “Batch #1.” A mid-mallet putter built around a two-piece 303 stainless steel body and a 6061 aluminum sole and backplate. It’s a putter that wears its craftsmanship on its sleeve and after rolling it for multiple rounds, its clear Sanfirth didn’t cut a single corner on their first swing at the market.
The Looks
The Sanfirth Batch #1 splits the difference between blade and mallet in the best way. Compact enough for traditionalists, forgiving enough for the mid-mallet crowd. The two-piece construction is the star of the show here. A satin bead blast finish paired with the aluminum sole and backplate creates a striking visual contrast. Perfectly understated yet undeniably eye-catching at address. The aluminum sole plate does double duty, intersecting the top of the putter to create a clean, effective contrast in alignment. Subtle engraving marks round out the look without ever feeling gaudy. It’s the kind of putter that draws your eye long before you roll your first putt.
How Does it Feel?
Center strikes off the Sanfirth Batch #1 mid-mallet are soft yet responsive. The feedback was exactly what I’d expect from a mid-mill face with deeper grooves across the impact area. Miss the center slightly, toe or heel, and you’ll know immediately. The feel firms up noticeably, which is a feature, not a bug. It’s instant, honest feedback that tells you exactly what kind of stroke you just made. The 40º of toe hang is a great fir for golfers with a traditional arc stroke, and the heel-toe weighting from the aluminum back plate keeps the head stable through impact without feeling like you’re swinging around a boat anchor. A soft, premium grip tells you Sanfirth is thinking about the whole feel experience, not just the putter head.
How Does it Sound?
The sound of the the Sanfirth Batch #1putter tracks right along with the feel. Center-face contacts produce a soft, muted click. Quiet and controlled, without any of the hollow “tink” you sometimes get from two-piece designs. It’s the kind of sound that confirms a pure strike before you’ve even had a chance to look up. Catch one out towards the toe or heel and the pitch sharpens, giving you clean audible confirmation right alongside that firmer feel. The consistency between what you feel and what you hear makes it easy to diagnose your stroke after each strike.
On-Course Performance
Across multiple rounds, I found myself particularly locked in on lag putts with the Sanfirth Batch #1 putter. The speed control was there almost immediately, and longer putts I’d normally leave in the 3-4 foot range where consistently finishing inside tap-in range. Short putts help up their end of the deal too. Alignment was dead simple round after round, and that translated directly into starting the ball on my line more often than not. It didn’t matter if I was grinding out par or just trying to two-putt from 40 feet, the putter delivered consistently. That kind of consistency is hard to find in a debut release, and its the reason Batch #1 earned a permanent spot in my bag.
Final Thoughts – Sanfirth Golf Batch #1
Beyond the putter itself, Sanfirth Golf is delivering the total package. Batch #1 arrives with a genuinely luxurious Dormie Workshop headcover, a custom engraved divot tool, hat, a spec sheet, and stickers. The kind of unboxing experience that makes you feel like you got more than you paid for. It’s a nice touch, and honestly something any golfer would be lucky to get their hands on.
For a first release, the attention to detail is genuinely impressive, from the construction and alignment features to the feel and included accessories. Sanfirth has the tools, product vision and delivery to become a major new player in the boutique putter space, not just a new kid on the block. In short, If you can get your hands on one, get in early. Batch #1 went quickly. Sanfirth Golf’s next batch is set to drop August 18th, grab it while you can before the price of admission for the brand takes off.
