Review Sacks Parente Golf Review

Great read @JB, and for a guy that started most of his military career in the Medical field, the word 'instrument" means a lot to me...i am genuinely intrigued

Thanks @donny475
I believe that the word means a bit to them too.
 
I like @JB equipment reviews. Well written, and this one really conveys an interesting review approach with a lot of useful background. I especially like the interest and excitement. To me, connecting equipment and opportunities in a meaningful and tangible way to real golfers looking to improve together and better enjoy golf is what makes THP special. As to these putters, I am intrigued. Putting is where I need to improve, and finding my putter has not been as simple as I expected. And, yes, indian - arrow stuff blah, blah, blah. I still want that putter that feels right to me. I hope to meet one of these in the wild someday.
 
I am going to need to spend some more time with the 18. Its a shape that I love the looks of, but has always been a bit on the unforgiving side of a putting spectrum. With a bit longer heel to toe length and a different hosel, I was not struggling with this at all.
 
Great article @JB, that's a really deep dive into their history and technology!
 
Awesome review. I'm intrigued about the sound... it sounds <--:D undescribable.(y)

And the light weight shaft? 1 gram per inch! How much do the putters weigh in at? And how much do the putter heads weigh in?

The styling is "similar" in that it they resemble other designs but are different enough to notice they're a new take.

They're out of my budget though.

Keep reading and we discuss and show an example of how much others weigh. :D
 
Seems that moving the weight towards the face is a popular thing these days.... ;)

We discussed that in the article, that the Frontline from Cleveland has gone this route as well. There are also some smaller companies, but many still go a different route in design theory.

a little reading past the putting instrument porn and I see the weight now. Heavy putter instrument!

Yep, I read it. Taylormade are also getting in this game....

The TM model of weight placement is actually quite different.

Edit: Unless you mean the coming soon...Which I am not at liberty to discuss, but does follow their recent follow model :ROFLMAO:
 
What do you mean?
Down at the bottom of the review... (I can't quote pictures. My work proxy sucks and won't load them)... where you're talking about the mallet head and hosel being 365 grams. That's heavy for a mallet. Aren't most putter heads around 330-335 grams or so?

No sir. In fact I just weighed 7 mallet heads here in the office and all were between 350 and 365.
 
Were you able to pick a few up and roll them?

I only noticed them on the way in while I was waiting - it turned out the SAM pretty much told me that my current putter was about perfectly fit, so we ended up spending some more time on some other parts of the bag.

I'm going back to do some more work with irons in the near future because my swing was trash so I'll see if I can roll a few while I'm there.
 
Forward weighting makes a ton of sense but that price point is at a stark difference from the other player in that space. The discounts make it mildly more palatable though.

You are definitely right about the pricing difference, but I would add that that is only a single piece of what they are touting. If you agree with their technology or not, that is a different discussion of course. Add a light weight composite putter shaft into the mix and upgraded grip and you start to get closer.

It's cool that you've got 7 mallet heads to just throw on the scale... to see what they weigh.:D

Yeah a few pieces of equipment lying around, but happy to help.
 
Holy hell the 66 is gorgeous!! Whole lot to digest in the article but the looks are very nice. I’m currently dropping hints to my wife that I need one of these....

If I can answer any questions to make digestion easier, happy to do so.

Nope read the article a couple times now, and believe I've got the jist of it. Appreciate it though!
 
Great review JB! Tons of great information in that one. The 66 is a beautiful putter putting instrument. I was expecting to get to the end of the article and just see an ungodly price point for everything that goes in to these. With their sale, these are pretty palatable all things considered. If my Chicago wasn't such a beautiful performer right now, this would have been a hard ponder. The description of response and feel alone makes me hope to try one some day!

Thank you. Hope you get to try one as well. Chicago is a heck of a putter too.
 
A lot of good and interesting info in the article...hard not to be even more intrigued after reading!
