Spoiler Golf Putter

[TJRyska]

This one looks interesting to say the least. Putter face is an “edge”. Anyone see something like this before?

I see this type of thing all the time.

Usually when it's when I don't want to bring my putter to the green so I just belly a wedge to putt. It works well, but I definitely don't have face control. I'm curious to see what the though is here.

 

[Bosco...]

That’s pretty wild. I’d definitely like to try it and see what’s what.

I was thinking the same thing

Yeah I wouldn’t buy one right off the bat but would love to try and putt around with one to see what it feels like.

I assume its not USGA conforming.

I assume its not USGA conforming.

I’m curious what you think. If a player can putt with the leading edge of a wedge, do you think this putter would be approved by the USGA?

Im not sure.
Appendix II provides: "features that extend into or ahead of the face" are illegal. Cant tell if this violates that or not.
I also can't tell if it is only one hitting surface the way its designed since the hitting surface is not flat. Based on their website mentioning nothing about it, I assume it has not been submitted.

Yeah not much info on the website. Appreciate the response! I sent them a message on Instagram. I’ll report back what they say.

Reminds me of the putters with a rounded face to "encourage" getting top spin on the ball faster.

Not the first to use a "roll face". Plenty of these out there with the idea that the ball would be struck the same no matter what:

Im sure you did

Their page is littered with some other prototypes that would never get approved.
This one, I just do not see the benefit at all.

There have been a bunch of roll faced putters over the years. I had a Zebra Tear drop putter years ago. That putter doesn’t look very forgiving. If that leading edge is the face I could see it being legal.

They claim to have a preliminary USGA conforming ruling and should have the official conformance letter in their hand this week.

 

[Space Bandito]

It's weird, because all I see is a putter with bounce.

Great.
Still don’t see how it helps, but its different in a “kind of like other different putters” kind of way.

Yeah I doubt I ever see someone at my local course gaming one.

 

[BigMac]

Doesn't exactly look like forgiveness is one of it's qualities.

Looks like they've started shipping these out. Has anyone tried one?

 

[TJRyska]

I don’t know a lot about equipment, so I am here asking the experts. Does this matter?

I think so. In fitting videos using camera systems, getting the ball rolling as soon as possible one point of focus. There's a lot that goes into making that happen, and one could utilize advanced fitting to dial it in with many brands, shapes, etc.

 

[TJRyska]

They’ve started shipping these out. Anyone see one of these in the wild or end up purchasing one?

 

[MGoBlue]

What’s the target audience? Folks that hit their putters fat?

No one is going to buy these, this is like trying to make fetch happen
