"the best putting invention of the decade" - golf world the heavy putter helps adrien mork to record-breaking 59 oneuropean challenge tour!
*using the popular heavy putter, frenchman adrien mork joins anelite class of golfers by scoring a record-breaking 59 inprofessional competition, making almost every putt en route to may2006's victory at the tikida hotels agadir moroccan classic on theeuropean challenge tour.
*registering 12 birdies and an eagle during his magical secondround, mork needed only 23 putts using the heavy putter b-3 model.
*heavy putter™ technology is a radical step in putter design
*it is as different from conventional putters as a metal driver isfrom persimmon
*lie angle: 72 degrees
*loft: 3½ degrees
*includes headcover and free tip weight kit (worth £30) - aluminiumand tungsten weights that can make the head lighter or heavier heavy putter advantages:
*the heavier mass engages large muscles of the upper body anddisengages small muscles of the hands and wrists
*using the large muscles of the chest, shoulders, and back promotesa pendulum stroke with less deviation in path
*the higher balance point encourages lighter grip pressure whichcreates a smoother stroke, more solid contact and improves distancecontrol
*the higher balance point produces a consistent end over end rollimmediately after impact
*the higher balance point leads to a more consistent putter releasethrough impact and a more constant acceleration throughout the stroke
*a heavier mass increases head stability throughout the impact zoneimproving putting accuracy
*the extreme perimeter weighting and the face balanced head designcreate a high moment of inertia, thus improving distance control andaccuracy for off-centre hits frequently asked questions: why is the heavy putter so heavy? the weight of the heavy putter forces you to putt using your larger,more stable muscles. this reduces hand and wrist action, resulting ina pendulum stroke. the pendulum stroke results in a more consistentswing path, and precise distance and directional control. the weightof the heavy putter also slows down the pace of your putting strokeand eliminates path loops, producing a more consistent swing path andswing length in the backswing and forward swing. in addition, by usingyour larger muscles during the putting stroke, you will consistentlyalign the club face more accurately at impact, resulting in puttsthat start on their intended target line. how heavy is the head of the heavy putter? the head of the heavy putter has a standard weight of 475 grams,which includes the stainless steel “tip weights” (the cylinder shapedinserts) that come installed in the putter head. the tip weight kitincludes aluminum tip weights which reduce the putter head weight to450 grams, and copper tungsten tip weights which raise the putterhead weight to 500 grams. how heavy is a conventional putter head? most putter heads weigh approximately 300-350 grams. what is the overall weight of the heavy putter? the overall weight is approximately 900 grams (about 2 lbs.). alittle more than half of the weight resides in the 475-gram head. theheavy putter’s patented weight management system™ provides another 250gram metal weight installed in the grip end of the shaft. theremainder of the weight comes from the grip itself and the shaft. what is the weight of a conventional putter? most putters weight approximately 450-475 grams. why is a heavier putter inherently better than a light orconventional weight putter? it is a scientific fact that a golfer can achieve the mostconsistent and reliable stroke if he is able to eliminate or at leastcontrol the movement in the hands and wrists, and allow the stroke tobe facilitated by the larger muscles in the biceps and upper body.this is because there is simply less margin for error in these largermuscle movements. it is also a fact that stroking a heavier objectnaturally engages those larger muscles and discourages the use of thefingers, hands and wrists. therefore, a heavier putter promotes moreconsistency by naturally eliminating the hands and wrists from thestroke. it is a simple principle of biomechanics that makes perfectsense. isn't a heavier putter more difficult to control? if a heavier putter concentrated all of the additional weight in thehead alone, then it most certainly would be more difficult to control,not unlike a bowling ball on the end of a string. however, the heavyputter counterbalances the weight in the head by adding additionalweight inserted in the grip end of the shaft, raising the balancepoint of the putter 75% higher than conventional putters, therebyreturning complete control to the golfer while still removing thehands and wrists from the putting stroke. what is the "balance point"? if you were to lay a putter across your index finger, the balancepoint is the location on the shaft where there is equal weight oneither side. balance point is important because its locationinfluences how a golfer strokes the putter. the perfect balancepoint is the point at which a pendulum motion most naturally occurs. for the heavy putter, this point is between one third and one half theway up the club from the head. this balance point is actually 75%higher than all leading putters on the market, which is why the heavyputter does not “feel” heavy when it is put into play. the heavyputter’s higher balance point brings the center of gravity of theputter closer to your center of gravity, around your belt buckle.this reduces the forces applied to your hands and wrists andincreases the stability of the putter throughout the stroke. forexample, it would be pretty hard to walk around carrying a bag ofgroceries with your arms outstretched – you would constantly befighting the weight and getting knocked off balance. in contrast, ifyou held the bag close to your body, it would be much easier tomanage the weight and control your movements. what can be gained from changing the weights in the head? the putter comes equipped with stainless steel “tip weights” thatcomprise a portion of the 475 gram head weight. the “tip weight kit”(which is included at no additional cost) includes two additional setsof tip weights. one set is made of aluminum and is lighter than theinstalled stainless steel set, and one is made of copper/tungsten,and is heavier than the installed stainless steel weights. thealuminum and copper/tungsten reduce/raise the weight of the putter byapproximately 25 grams (aluminum weights make the head weigh 450grams; copper/tungsten weights make the head weigh 500 grams). theallen wrench and screws are included in the tip weight kit, so noadditional tools or hardware is needed. each golfer has a distinctgrip pressure and release point. golfers who tend to have a laterelease point or resist release through impact can often benefit froma lower balance point. this is true because the lower balance pointwill compensate for the “late release,” and more naturally square theface of the putter at impact. the way to lower the balance point isto add weight to the head. conversely, a golfer who tends to releaseearly, may want to reduce the head weight to raise the balance pointand slow down the release of the putter head. the easiest way todetermine if you need to adjust the head weight (i.e. if you tend torelease early or late) is by noting the tendency of your missedputts. if you consistently miss right, then you may be releasing toolate, and may want to increase the head weight to accelerate therelease point. if you consistently miss left, then you may well bereleasing too early, and may want to decrease the head weight to slowthe release point. guarantee: 12 months |
