Nike Golf Introduces the Method Midnight Putters: New Shapes, New Look, Proven Method Technology

- Polymetal Groove Technology with a New Dark Chrome Finish-

BEAVERTON, Ore. (May 15, 2012 ) – There’s a new addition to the successful Nike Method putter franchise and it has a dark side. Nike Golf is introducing the Nike Method Midnight putter that features Nike’s revolutionary polymetal groove technology, which has been instrumental in the 34 wins by Nike athletes on the Professional Tours worldwide.

The Nike Method Midnight putter is available in new milled head shapes with a dark chrome finish and will be offered in three new models: Method Midnight 006, 007, and 008. All three models rely on polymetal face groove technology, which combine steel and polymer.

The ground-breaking Method putter technology was born of innovation and fueled by the demands of Nike Golf’s Tour athletes. With major-winning technology, this putter delivers the roll, feel, and sound necessary for clutch putts in big moments.

“The multidimensional face is the primary technology of these products - everything revolves around this,” said David Franklin, Master Model Maker.

The revolutionary and visibly distinctive polymetal groove technology generates a forward roll almost immediately after impact for the kind of accuracy and consistency that is demanded by Tour professionals. While most traditional steel faced putters start the ball with backspin causing the ball to initially bounce, the polymetal groove technology starts the ball with forward spin to minimize bounce and keep putts on line.

The prototypes of the Method Midnight 006 and 007 already have proven Tour success. Nike athletes Lucas Glover and Stewart Cink both used the Method Midnight 006 head shape to win the 2009 U.S. Open and Open Championship, respectively, and Michelle Wie’s first LPGA victory came with the Method Midnight 007 head shape.

Nike Golf’s Method Midnight putters ($323.99 MSRP/$269.99 MAP) will be available June 15, 2012 in all three models. The Method Midnight 006 will also be available in a left-handed version.

Me LIKEY!!! Those are sweet. I love my Method Core.
 
I'm liking the looks of the new finish and the one in the last pic is right up my alley.
 
They're overnighting one to THP demo day right? Numero Ocho, bottom right, I've got my eyes on you.
 
Take the ugly logo off and those are pretty nice looking.
 
Nice looking putters, love the darker look of them.
 
oh hello! that CS one is really nice....are these in the Tour Van on the way to the Outing?
 
Hmm, please post more pictures/angles when available! Can't really judge what they look like yet.
 
I do like the looks of that finish - looking forward to seeing these in stores.

I was also wondering why they dumped the higher price point on the original method and switched to the core.. Nice to see them keep the high end effort going.
 
Copying Cameron again...

Tappin!
 
Wow, sweet looking putters! Nike keeps on bringing it this year!
 
Very nice. These guy's make some solid putters.
 
Those are beautiful! I would definitely game one of those. I prefer darker putters and that was the only thing I didn't like about the original method. The method core I did not care for at all, I just didn't like the insert. This could be the perfect combination. Cant wait to see one in person.
 
Uhm wow! I want one!
 
Not a big fan of insert putters, but that CS model on the bottom right is great looking.
 
Nice!!
 
Gotta admit, when I read this I actually did laugh out loud.

Well Scotty did do a darker finish. He must have been the first!
 
That CS Model may need a look see, The drone rolls it great but I have always been a fan of the blade CS putter
 
Well Scotty did do a darker finish. He must have been the first!

Scotty did invent the putter.

Anyways. These looks really good. I actually like the Method, but until they bring that price down, I don't see them being worth it. I don't like it THAT much, when there are putters in a lower price bracket that I enjoy just as much.
