AT&T Carrier - An Amazing Putter Alignment Of Ping heye482 - Mon Sep 17, 2012 12:31 am Post subject: An Amazing Putter Alignment Of Ping
For over 45 years I was an excellent putter but then in my late fifties and early sixties I really began to struggle with alignment issues that ruined my confidence on the greens to the point of me seriously considering giving up the game I had grown to love over all those years. Fortunately, my engineering curiosity wouldn't let me just give up. I knew my vision had grown weak over those years with astigmatism and macular degeneration making it increasingly difficult to see straight lines as straight.
So right after I retired, I decided to try and figure out what could be done to help my puttingin within ping putters I ran a lot of tests using laser devices to study vision effects on putting alignment. But more importantly, astigmatism and macular degeneration difficulties with seeing straight lines as straight can make it nearly impossible to properly and consistently align a putter face just using just the top line of the face.
During my testing on the discount ping putters I discovered that framing lines and straight (linear) objects pointing towards the target could help overcome most vision difficulties. And, I concluded that most "alignment" aides on the market like balls and odd geometric shapes served more to confuse than help the average golfer. Don't forget, golfers at the professional level have exceptional visual and hand/eye coordination skills. So just because some putter is popular with the pro's doesn't mean it is going to be the best answer for the majority of non-professional golfers.
Most golfers are aware of right eye or left eye dominance effects but few realize how significant the alignment errors can be. After over two years of study, experimentation, and building and testing many putter prototypes I discovered the ultimate putter fitting and alignment solution -- an open frame with a rear mounted shaft! Whether you are a highly skilled golfer with great vision or a struggling senior golfer with vision challenges, these new cheap ping putters designs are guaranteed to help you improve your putting.
When I filed my initial U.S. Patent application for the REESO ping putters on tour in 2004 I really did not expect my unique design to be the massive hit that it became - not in my wildest dreams. I knew from the start that it was a great putter design, and that it had the potential to help people lower their scores through really improved putting, but I never expected it to gain such a large following of raving fans.
