To successfully sink a 10-foot putt, golfers need several factors working in their favor, including the correct line, the proper speed, and an appropriate stroke. However, if a golfer’s alignment is off from the start, those other factors may not make much difference. This is part of the reason why alignment markings on golf balls have gained popularity, leading companies to invest in visual technology designed to aid alignment, such as Callaway’s Triple Track, TaylorMade’s Stripe, and Srixon’s Divide. Numerous putter manufacturers have created various styles of alignment markings, since each golfer may prefer different aids, whether it’s a straight line, a single dot, two ball, or a thick white stripe, to help them start their putt on the intended line.
Enter Chamber Putters, featuring their new Justice Mallet and A-LOC System, which ensures that you and your putter are aligned properly.
Chamber Putters A-LOC System
“Nobody has ever done this before,” said Vikash Sanyal, Managing Director of Chamber Putters. “The total system works together with your vision. Golfers learn their visual tendencies so they can line up correctly, every time, and stay true to their line through impact.”
Built around the A-LOC System, the Justice Mallet putter enhances golfers’ alignment techniques and helps you find the alignment plate that best suits your visual preferences. A-LOC stands for Alignment Laser Optic Confirmed. It also comes with other fitting accessories to make the alignment process smoother.
Interchangeable Alignment Plates
The first accessory is a case containing ten different alignment plates, which can be securely attached to the putter using an included torque wrench. As illustrated in the accompanying photo, these designs offer a variety of options, including solid red or white plates, triangles, circles, and a thick single line. Swapping one plate for another is a straightforward process that requires only a single screw located on the sole of the putter.
Dual Laser Feedback System
This case includes two different lasers: one designed for outdoor use and the other for indoor use. Why two lasers?
The outdoor model projects a single beam of light, making it ideal for use with the next component in the setup. Meanwhile, the indoor laser provides instant feedback by projecting light onto the ground, instantly highlighting the aim point. Both lasers attach magnetically to the putter flange for easy use during practice sessions. They can be recharged using the included USB-C cable.
The Triangular Fitting Board
The final component of the A-LOC System is a triangular fitting board, designed to illustrate the width of a putting cup. This board features three balls positioned on each side. Chamber Putters encourages golfers to use this triangular board outdoors on a putting green.
Chamber Putters A-LOC Fitting Process
To set up the target, place a golf ball approximately 10 feet away from each side of the board. Begin with alignment plate number 1 and align the putter as if you were making a straight putt. When you set the laser to intermittent mode, you won’t be able to see exactly where you are aiming at first. However, once the laser becomes visible, it provides instant feedback on your alignment bias.
Next, move to the other two sides with the same alignment plate to determine if your bias remains consistent. After completing this process, switch to the other plates to find out which alignment aid yields the most consistent results.
“The laser never lies,” said Sanyal. “Once golfers can actually see whether they’re aligned, everything changes.”
Understandably, the A-LOC system takes center stage when discussing the Chamber Justice putter, but several design features enhance stability, forgiveness, and ball roll consistency.
Chamber Justice Mallet Other Design Features
High MOI Construction
First and foremost, the Justice is engineered for stability, featuring a lightweight aluminum body with heavy tungsten weights located in both the heel and toe. We are told that roughly 90% of the putter’s overall mass is concentrated in these areas, which helps golfers achieve more consistent distances on their putts, regardless of where the ball makes contact with the face.
Milled Aluminum Insert
The Justice putter also features a grooved, milled aluminum insert that provides a pleasing feel during use. Although aluminum isn’t the quietest material for inserts, it provides ample feedback for golfers and offers a slightly firmer feel. While it’s challenging to determine the exact consistency of ball launch from the grooved insert, it does produce a very quick forward roll.
