Whatever Happened to YES Putters?

[ChristoDowning]

I strangely acquired a YES Abbie putter during lock-down a couple of weeks before my golf coach - and ex-Tour player - was talking about how good YES putters were and how many Tour friends had used them back in 2007-9 - before he noticed I had one in my bag. These forged, milled YES putters were priced around $300 15 years ago. There still seems to be interest out there on eBay for the good YES putters - but no sign of anyone ever starting up production again. It would be nice to see the C Grooves available again on a putter less than the $3000 of Matt Fitzpatrick's Bettinardi.

If I remember right they were bought by Adams Golf. Then Adams was bought by Taylormade and we know what happened there.

I think bettinardi has the patent rights now..

The original C Groove patent was applied for in 1995 so 20 years on that would have run out in 2015 or so.
