Axis1 Putter
Axis 1 Putter The Axis 1 putter is a breakthrough innovation that challenge the wisdom of contemporary clubs. By shifting the heel weight forward of the striking face, the club’s center of gravity is now placed exactly on the clubs sweet spot and in-line with the axis of the shaft at the same time. Experience the difference of a perfectly balanced club with a true pendulum swing. Features * 304 Stainless steel * Copper insert for maximum soft feel * Steel shaft with stiffness grooves and vibration damping core * Stainless steel counterweight screws allow for final balance calibration during assembly * Top of the line Winn grip offers the ultimate in grip comfort Innovation Try this exercise: 1. Take your putter and address the golf ball 2. Support the lower shaft of the putter with one foot to maintain the angle of the shaft 3. Gently release the pressure of your grip 4. Watch what happens Notice how the clubface of your putter rotates clockwise around the axis of the shaft (right handed clubs). This rotation is due to every putter’s center of gravity being located at some distance behind the axis of the shaft. This means the while you putt, not only are you trying to swing your club in a straight line, but you are also overcoming the tendency for your putter to open up and push the ball to the right. This rotating force is made worse by today’s most popular putters which continue to increase in depth in order to provide large alignment features. Now, if you were to do the same exercise with the Axis 1 putter, you would see that the club head remains perpendicular to the direction of the putt even after you relax your grip on the club. Axis 1’s patented approach makes feel the top priority on our putter. By innovatively adding a counter weight forward of the striking surface, the Axis 1 putter places the center of gravity directly in line with the axis of the shaft and on the sweet spot of the striking surface at the same time. This perfect balance allows us to offer you a club that swings like a true pendulum. Innovation When I first heard about the Axis1 concept, I was expecting to see another gimmick. However, now that I have seen and used the putter, I can honestly say that I like the look, I like the feel, and this putter is not a gimmick, it is based on real physics Chester Shira, former CEO and founder of Carbite Golf. Wow, this is really a different looking putter. I like the feel, this club really feels different; it doesn’t twist in your hands the way other putters do.” Tom Cunneff, Senior Editor and equipment reviewer for Links Magazine. I have been producing and designing golf equipment for over 30 years and I have to say that it is an honor to meet a real pioneer in golf club design.” Endor Wang, Sr. Engineer for NAII, golf club manufacturers. Not only does this club have perfect balance, it also looks like a work of art that should be in a museum. Bruce Black, Director, TopFlight Shortgame School, Denver,CO. I ran out to practice the day after getting it, and hit about 10 putts in freezing weather and immediately put my Odyssey aside in the garage. I was able to switch without any reservation or learning curve. -The balance is so good that if you hit a normal pendulum swing (no wrist action) the ball comes off the putter on the intended path with no sideways spin. If you line up correctly, it is very hard to miss a 4 footer. Steve Sands, Sun Microsystems, Austin, TX.
