Med et enkelt grep kan denne Ping belly putteren justeres i lengder mellom
37,5 og 46, 5 tommer.
27.03 Ping:
Med
justérbar belly putter
Etterspørselen etter lange puttere er stor. Nå kommer Ping med en etterlengtet
nyvinning. Nå kan man regulerer lengden på putteren med et enkelt grep.
Lengden på en belly putter er viktig fordi det er ikke så mye "slingringsmonn"
på denne kølla. Den må passe akkurat til oppstillingen og den kroppslengden
spilleren har.
Pris i Norge blir kr 2.385.
Her er pressemeldingen fra Ping:
PING goes to new lengths with adjustable putter
shaft
PING today became the first major golf company to introduce a USGA-approved
adjustable-length belly putter shaft. The adjustable putter shaft, offered
exclusively with the Nome™ 405 putter, allows the player to self-adjust the
length within a 9-inch range to optimise performance.
“At PING, custom fitting is our priority, and with the popularity of belly
putters we saw a unique fitting opportunity because shaft length is so critical
to performance,” said John A. Solheim, PING Chairman & CEO. “Adjustability is
key because the standard 42-inch belly putter fits a narrow range of people.
When the shaft is too long or too short, it alters your distance from the ball,
your eye position, and the path of your stroke. Adjustability lets you
experiment until your posture is comfortable and your eyes are over the ball,
which helps you make a consistent stroke and solid impact. We’re pleased to have
USGA approval of this easy-to-use, innovative technology. Golfers are going to
find it will help improve their putting.”
Length can be adjusted from 37.5 to 46.5 inches. The player changes the length
using a PING adjustment tool that threads into a locking ring on the shaft.
Turning the tool loosens the ring, allowing the shaft to slide telescopically.
The player then adjusts the shaft to the desired length. Turning the adjustment
tool in the opposite direction and removing it locks the ring and secures the
shaft so it’s ready for play.
As one more fitting step, the shaft is available in three different bends to
match Straight, Slight Arc, and Strong Arc stroke types. This coincides with
PING’s Fit for Stroke™ putter-fitting concept.
The Nome model is a timely choice for the adjustable putter shaft. It had a
recent PGA Tour win even prior to its official launch. PING Pro Hunter Mahan
used a standard-length Nome 355 putter to win the WGC-Accenture Match Play in
February. Mahan said the Nome’s alignment aids gave him confidence in his aim.
“I felt I could make just about any putt I looked at.” Since the victory, more
PING pros have put a Nome putter in their bags. Players are being introduced to
the adjustable putter shaft in the Nome 405 putter at this week’s Shell Houston
Open.
Product Details & Technical Specifications:
- Availability: May 1, 2012
- The lower portion of the shaft is steel, the upper portion beneath the grip is
