Purchase: Golf Shack - http://golfshack.vulcangolf.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=9 $69.00 (Plus No Tax or Shipping). Checked the club out at a local Custom Club Fitter. Couldn't miss the cup from 20 feet. Great feel and balance. Plus alignment was a big positive for me. Kinda weird looking club, but boosted my confidence immediately. Reminds me a great deal of the Scotty Cameron Futura ($229 Bux)for a fraction of the cost.
Pros: This club is amazing considering the price. I tried all the Vulcan putters, but didn't like the shaft alignment. The Caldera 2 shaft is attached behind the club head giving a clear line of sight, and the back weighting is similar to the 3ball and the Scotty Cameron Futura at a fraction of the price.
Cons: Not a name brand club.....but guess I can get over that.
Caldera II Quality: The look is a little strange at first, but if you can get beyond the ugly look, the feel more than compensates. Top of the club has 3 little circles (I suppose to imitate the 3 ball look or maybe some casting marks similar to the milling marks on the Futura) Actually the putter head of the Caldera IV is almost identical to the Futura but the shaft alignment is more similar to the Caldera II. Overall a nice club for the price.
Review & Rating Summary: If you're hooked solely on appearances, then go ahead and pay the $300 bux plus for the OEM Brand club. If you're more intersted in value based performance, then give this club a try. The back weighting in combination with the shaft placement behind the clubhead makes this a very easy putter to get used to. I am not associated in any way with the manufacturer or sales company...just another hack looking for a good deal and sharing my good fortune and love of the game with others of like persuasion.

Vulcan Woody Hybrid Iron - Irons - Quite simply, you cannot find irons that are easier to hit than these.
Vulcan Q-Pointe Irons - Irons - Bottom line, great clubs for a great price. You won't find much difference between these irons and any other of the big brand names out there. These aren't knock-offs, just from a small custom club ma
Vulcan Woody Hybrid Iron - Irons - If you cant' stand hitting long irons & fear your fairway woods from all but the best of lies then give these a try.
