The "Logic"
The "Logic" behind
the LogicalOne putter
is about identifying the relationships (the hole, the ball
and the putter) on the putting surface while putting. Alignment
is
crucial in the game
of golf
and while
watching my son one day while he was playing a round of "mini-golf" in
the Fall of 2004, I thought that there had to be a more logical
way to align a putt. I then started focusing on people on the
golf courses
and
how they
addressed
putts, alignment in specific, and noticed many people had the
same issue as myself and as what I noticed with my son. That
led me
to start developing a concept, which basically created the
design, based off of what I
was seeing. What I was seeing was very "Logical".
To
represent the relationships and to aid in alignment I uniquely,
but simply, designed the top of the putter head with alignment
lines that represent
the width of the hole, the width of the ball and the center of
the head. Lines are the most basic and understandable geometric
shape and
provide
the essential element for motion across a visual space and has
a definite purpose in direction. These alignment lines are also
all on the same level so the eyes are not having to adjust/adapt
to multiple levels for alignment. The alignment lines are tiered
toward the back of the putter head
with
the center line being the longest. When standing over a putt,
the alignment lines make it very easy to coordinate your body and
the putter together so that both are aligned properly to the
target, whether that is the hole or a spot on the putting surface
you picked out during your "read". The putter head
is center shafted, just inside the center alignment line. A "3-Bend" type
of shaft to create proper offset and lie angle, as well as offering
flexibility, will be used..
The
size and shape of the putter head form around the alignment lines
to create that natural eye flow from target to ball to putter or
from putter to ball to target. Everything flows and aligns nicely.
The size promotes confidence and the weight corresponds well with
not being too heavy or too light (around 366 grams). The feel
of the putter head is quite balanced with good
feedback to the hands while providing firmness of a positive
stroke. "Lag" putting and putting from around/off the
green is accommodated quite nicely. The bottom of the putter
is contoured
so that fringe or semi-rough putting
is smooth
and
unobtrusive
when
taking
the
putter back, while the radius (heel to toe and front to back)
offers lie flexibility for ALL golfers. Another unique, but "Logical" feature.
Overall, it is a very
"classy" looking head with a touch of attitude (images
do not do this thing justice).
The
final touches placed on the putter include a tightly milled, nicely
profiled face that is contrasting in color. The tightly milled
face is so that
no particles get "trapped" and there is consistent roll, time after
time. The quality of this head is "pure"!!
