Charleston · Meeting Street hang rail
The toe tells the green, not the other way
Toe Hanger is a putter atelier on the peninsula, not a bag mill that happens to own a mallet. We suspend the head from a brass rail, photograph the hang against a degree card, then ask whether that rotation can live with Lowcountry humidity and grain that flips between poa and bermuda before lunch.
The argument
Salt air opens a face overnight
A plumber-neck blade that hung 32° in February can read 38° after a wet June week because the grip takes on harbor moisture and the shaft torque lets the toe fall. We do not “re-loft” that problem. We hang it again, write the humidity on the slip, and decide whether the golfer’s arc still matches the new dangle.
Peninsula greens are not a single Stimpmeter number. Morning poa leans toward the Cooper; afternoon bermuda leans toward the Ashley. A face-balanced mallet that looked honest on a indoor carpet will leak right on grain that the toe never learned to fight. The rail is where that fight is measured, not imagined.

Blade hang, mallet rest, face-balance ledger
Harbor ledger
“The mallet sat still. My stroke did not.”
Bo Gadsden from West Ashley brought a face-balanced mallet that looked perfect on a carpet and leaked every afternoon putt toward the harbor. The rail showed zero hang. His arc wanted twenty. We hung a mid-mallet instead and wrote the grain window on the slip.
They hung my blade on a brass bar, waited for the toe to stop swinging, and told me Charleston humidity had opened it six degrees since March. Nobody in a big-box bay had ever mentioned humidity.

An hour is a hang, not a lesson
Bring the putter you actually use, the pistol or oversized grip it wears, and a ball you would putt with on the peninsula. We do not sell a bag. We hang a head.
