Summary: An aluminum semi-mallet with the HSM (hole seeking material) as an insert. Bent shaft goes directly into the clubhead, producing a face-balanced putter. One central sightline on topline, with two sightlines on the flange.
HSM is actually the same isobutadiene that the cores of the best golf balls are made out of. It produces a soft, solid feel. In the early HSM putters Mr. Grace had a single thickness/response, and it was well-received on the PGA Tour. In fact, HSM putters once held the top 10 positions in one of the events!
Later models with MacGregor changed the HSM to be move reponsive on the heel and toe portions, so a mis-strike would travel the same distance as a sweet-spot hit. Mr. Grace has a patent on this Distance Correcting Technology (DCT), and it is used by his new private company that builds custom-milled putters in Florida.
I find the insert to be more appealing than corresponding products by Odyssey and Ping. If you have used all-metal clubfaces for decades like I had, then you will have to re-calibrate your stroke to propel the ball the same distance with the softer insert. I putted 10 minutes per day for two weeks, and one afternoon the adjustment just "clicked." I think the HSM or DCT is better than just a metal face.
The putters are still seen on websites like eBay. I paid $30-40 after shipping for each of mine, and I have 7 different models from heel-shafted blades to the Cute Kid semi-mallet that is discussed here.
Summary: Picked this thing up at a yard sale for 10 bucks and it is the best decision I've ever made love the feel of this putter love the touch on the ball everything about it!!!

Summary: I have a fair golf game and shoot in the low 80's consistantly. The problem is on the flat surface. I have tried all the "Big Boys". Scotty Cameron makes top quality stuff, Odyssey is selling a ton, Ping is a top dog, Taylor Made is always at the top of the Market & I could go on & on. The fact is I bought myself two old "Bobby Grace by Cobra Putters" and my game is on now! Amazing Grace & Lo Pro ROCK!. It is totally undescrible how easy the puppies are to lag and make a ton of putts. The problem is finding the babies on EBAY cause they are rare. If you are a Pro or Am, look hard and long, cause they worth every penny you spend. Good luck in the Hunt!!!!!
Customer Service: I bought used and I'm gonna keep em!

Summary: I have a fair golf game which consists of shooting in the low 80's consistantly. My problem came on the flat service. I would hit the greens many times in regulation and 3 putt! Kinda of hurt my feelings if ya know what I mean :o(... Well I tried all the Big Boys. Scotty Cameron is great for some folks, Odyssey is a very nice product and Ping rocks. Taylor Made, MacGregor,& if I miss some folks I'm sorry but these old Cobras are the BOSS for me. I bought two because my Irons, Woods, and Hybrids are Cobras. I bought the Imazing Grace by Bobby Grace, & the Low Pro by Bobby Grace for Cobra. To the point is I am more consistant on long and short putts than I have ever been in my life. The problem is these puppies are hard too find! If you find one, Pro or Am, you need to buy it now. That's all I got to say about it.
Customer Service: Bought em used and love those puppies!
