Newton Golf has taken a circuitous path to get where it is today. Newton’s predecessor company, Sacks Parente, made a splash with their wildly different approach to putter technology and design. It featured what they call Ultra Low Balance Point technology that primarily centered on unique graphite putter shafts and grips. In a quest to […]

It’s a great article, I am having a hard time getting over the visuals though.

Still one of my early THP memories is Jb using a super light putting instrument. I think I like the weight, but I would need a lot of time between them to really decide.

There is something to be said about change just for the sake of change, but I hope these find their way into a bunch of bags to hear more. I would be very interested, especially since it seems like the same stroke as with another putter is going to give you a bit more distance with these if I am understanding correctly.
 
The more I read about it, the more interested I am in the Deuce. The look just "looks right" to me.
 
That is a really good take on the #7 shape
 
Interesting putter tech and great article.

Thanks for reading all.

Seriously, if I'd love to get something like 10 people together with all these putters to see the reactions.

Best for me by a long shot.
 
Good read. I have rolled the Sacks Parente putters at Club Champion a few times and always thought they swing well. I have one friend who has one and he putts well with it. He is a bit of a club junkie and the putter has been in the bag for 4 years so it definitely works for him.
 
Great review @Hawk. Sure wish True Spec Golf had these has an option because I'd love to try them out
 
Drac is a great club name.. lol.

The heads look good. The necks are a little odd looking to me.

Four years is a really long time for anybody. What model does he have?
 
ULBP has me intrigued. Would love to give the Drac and the Duece a try. Personally don’t really care for the Prism and the wide alignment line. Very curious about the feel of these after putting for a few years with a putter that I was cut to with counter balance weight placed 5” deep in butt end of shaft.
 
Am I seeing this right that there are no lefty options?
 
Do you have any info on the Tempo putter shaft? I didn't see any details in the article. Are they going to be selling a putter specific graphite shaft?

They do not sell these shafts on the aftermarket that I'm aware of. They also don't really give a ton of info on them unfortunately.

Correct.

I'm gonna have to make the 30 minute drive up to St. Joe and talk to these guys a bit about this.

Ha! Think that’s just the shaft factory and the putters are done in CA.
 
Great article @Hawk and interesting that you noted the less than desirable feel of the putters before putting them to work. I realize you said they are different than anything else, but is there any one thing you can put your finger on that makes it that way? Or is it just a completely different feeling while holding?

The "deuce" is where my head immediately goes as I look through the pics, and kind of dig the more industrial look of these.
 
None of these really do much for me if I'm being honest. Really great review though
 
Great review!!! The Deuce appears to be my jam.

Don't take this the wrong way, because I came away feeling so much differently by the end, but they almost feel like a toy. Like it's not a serious piece of golf equipment. They are just so light and the materials, especially in the grip, just feel like they are 90% air.

It's really hard to explain. The Deuce though - I'll have it in my bag regularly going forward without question.

Hmmm, that's really interesting and the fact that you say you'll have it in the bag makes me question it even more. For me, that lightness probably wouldn't be good for distance control- and I realize that you're in a similar climate as myself- have you had a chance to put it through many paces yet? Curious how that lack of weight translates to control from a distance perspective.
