NEWS Sacks Parente now NEWTON GOLF

[Jman]

In 2022 THP brought the story that Sacks Parente, manufacturer of fine “putting instruments”, was branching out with the acquisition of their own stateside golf shaft manufacturing company. A major part of that was to control the manufacturing and tolerances of their proprietary ULBP (Ultra Low Balance Point) putter shafts, but it was also with the goal […]

Interesting idea, but one that I think makes some sense.

I like the rebrand. However, not that anyone asked, but I personally would remove the “Not Harder” from the tag line. “Newton Golf. Play Smarter” get a the message across, removes the negative thought, and just seems cleaner to me overall.

Seems like the new page lost a little detail on the shafts. Always interested to see new putters!

 

[Tywithay]

Interested to see where they take it. I think the shaft was a good first offering.

Website looks pretty nice.

Not really feeling the branding, but maybe I'm missing something.

 

[G-Man]

Still roll my sacks putting instrument on occasion... Wish it were softer, but a fun club

 

[G8rJimbo]

Not a fan of the motto. Seems overused by so many groups. Good start on the website tho

 

[JDax]

The name change makes sense, not sure I like the branding.

As many others have said already, name change . Branding is meh for me, but hopefully as they progress further they'll get that ironed out as well. When THP brought the info on the 66 putter I was smitten with the look. Wish them success!

I am glad that they decided to sort of consolidate. Goldwin Golf's AVDP system changed my golf game entirely. I had been a picker almost exclusively until then. Not sure what (or why) but after bagging a set of their irons 3-10 and later added a 2 iron, the game changed for the better. So anyway, fewer names more clarity, and the Newton shaft I have used most of this season has also helped.

Like others not enamored with 'slogan' but that can change as well.

I can't see a possible scenario where they can remain solvent. Raise $10 million by selling stock, burn through $5 million each year on a bunch of big salaries...to generate $350 thousand in total sales.

An IPO of 3.2 million shares at $4, shoots up over 600% first day and two days later it's at about $2.00. They were probably worth more than Callaway on paper for a few hours. Somebody made a boatload that day.

You’re hired. Much better.

But still not overall fan of the new name. Sounds basic.

 

[leftybob]

Name change makes a lot of sense. Sacks Parente sounds like an accounting firm not a golf company.

This! Last thing I read about Sacks Parente was a filing saying they did not know if they would have enough cash to continue operations. Now they buy another company? Also, not a fan of the look of the new putter line.

They founded Newton, but bought the manufacturing facility.

Also, it happened some time ago.
