Are they like the Alcem Handle ?

Hi Greg,
I am not sure about the Ron Cook or Alcem Handles, I have never seen them. I am sure they are probably very fine handles.
Mine, The Big D. Handle, comes in two sizes. The large measures
on the slider spacing at 5 1/8. Over all length is 6 1/8 with the over hang being a maximum of 2 5/8. It can be made longer or more over hang if you need more with a special order.
The small one slider spacing measures 4 1/8.. The over all length
is 5 1/8. The over hang is the same. Both are made out of solid Walnut and/or solid Red Oak. Both are the same price at $40.00.
and does include Shipping and I always have product on hand and am able to ship the same day unless you need large quanities. The only thing that I have change from Dick doing the handles is the finish.
I have gone with a non stick finish and it will be very tough on the ground also. I have been experimenting with laminates and hard point
handles. Both should be available at VSC. The next experiment will
be the addition of Carbon. I am not sure at the cost, so that one will be fun but it could be costly. I will just have to look at it and see if the price would be to much to pass on. Hope this explination helps. Remember this handle can be made to your specs,
wheather it is more finger grip or no finger grips. It is not laser cut, it is made by hand, by me. I do everything on the handle myself, using no contractors. Dick has showed me the operation and trained me to make them. I have made a few weird looking ones in learning process( that was different). But the learning curve is over and they really look good and well as work good. Hope this helps.

Mike,
The great reward is passing on this handle to a fine gentleman like you. I just got burned out after about 2,000 of the total design series.

Hi Greg,
Yes you can, I forgot to post the other day, that I do make the slider that fits the Tom Morris Handle for $22.00. That also includes shipping. If you need a custom slider, to fit your handle,
might I suggest, you send me the handle and that should take care of it.
Thanks,
Mike Scott
