ou’d think the mega names in golf equipment would make
the best putters humanly possible. And you’d be wrong.
Meet Harold Swash, putting coach to most of the European
Ryder Cup teams. Over the years he’s found the key to truer
putts is early ball roll. And he’s engineered a way to achieve
it almost “automatically.”
It’s all about upward force on the
backside of a ball. So he designed a club with
precisely machined concentric grooves. Upon
contact, they impart an immediate, over-the-top rolling motion.
20-FOOT TEST PUTTS
3˝-4˝
C-GROOVE PUTTER: BALL ACHIEVES SMOOTH FORWARD ROLL IN 3˝- 4˝
14˝-18˝
OTHER PUTTERS: BALL SKIPS, SPINS & SKIDS, ACHIEVING FORWARD ROLL IN 14˝-18˝
At 100 frames-per-second you can see the difference.
Hit with any big name club, the ball lofts slightly, spins
and skips; not reaching forward roll until 14˝-18˝. Hit
identically with a C-Groove putter, the ball hugs
the surface and begins over-rolling within 3˝-4˝.
Consistently.
Which ball do you suppose will track straighter
and be less affected by the green’s aberrations?
That’s why more touring pros are
saying Yes! when choosing putters. And
sinking putts.
