HEAVY PUTTER
Launched just last year with six original models, Boccieri Golf is introducing two new Heavy Putter styles for this season.
Noted for their extremely heavy weight, the new Matte series consists of the A3-M blade and B3-M mallet models.
Both putters have heads finished in a dark gray along with a satin-finished shaft.
On the pro circuit, the Heavy Putter was used successfully by Troy Matteson last year to lead the Nationwide Tour and gain a PGA TOUR card for this season. Last month, TOUR pro Mark Lye also joined the playing the staff.
The Heavy Putter is noted for heads that weigh 475 grams, grip weight of 250 grams and overall weight ranging up to 900 grams, almost or more than twice the weight of many standard putters. Additionally, there is a weight kit with four additional plugs that lets golfers tailor the bias and specific weight based on personal preference.
“The 250-gram weight in the grip section raises the balance point 75 percent higher than conventional putters,” said Steve Boccieri, inventor and president/CEO.
Without the added grip weight, the heavy head would be hard to control. But, in testing among players assembled by GolfWeb, the Heavy Putter was surprisingly easy to control through the swing and impact, and was rated very, very stable.
Both A3-M and B3-M models feature diamond cut, patterned faces for a soft feel and Surround Sight semicircular alignment aids. Available in a choice of standard lengths, plus Mid and Long versions, suggested retail price is $229.
