I guess it is machined out of a solid-block aluminum alloy that is incredibly high-grade, high-cost, and is not available anywhere in the US. Although, the club is actually manufactured in the US by a company in Milwaukee, WI. Supposedly what they have achieved is the ideal head-to-ball weight ratio with this superior material. People that have seen this putter or have used it say that it is quite possibly the most consistent golf putter ever made.

Its also remains in the prototyping stages, so finding one may be impossible.
