Gel Golf - Paul Hurrion ‘SEDO’ Signature Putter : 2000fps

October 20th, 2008 | Biomechanics Consultancy, GEL Golf, Putting Biomechanics, Quintic Video Software

The following image is a slow motion video (2000fps) of a centre strike with a GEL ‘SEDO’ design. The GEL ‘Dr Paul Hurrion’ Signature Range incorporates the latest groove technology using a multi-layer aluminium insert that delivers great feel and exceptional feedback. The use of this technology creates instant forward roll on the golf ball, thus minimising the effect of skidding. Quintic has proved that the action of a golf ball during the first phase of the putt is the most crucial element to direct the ball towards the intended target, and hence why groove putters outperform all other putters.

My main aims when developing putting technique for any player are to work from a basis of:

1. Sound biomechanical principles – ‘fit the putter to the player!’
2. Working with the players own anatomy & biomechanics
3. Avoiding injury to the player along with long term development

My coaching philosophy is underpinned by the fact that the ball and putter collide for only 1 millisecond and therefore everything that comes before and after impact should be as biomechanically sound as possible (no manipulation!). A sound set up position and posture using the correct putter (length & lie) are crucial to allow the player to create a stroke with the best chance of sending the ball in the intended line with the right pace - consistently.

The Paul Hurrion signature range not only includes the latest GEL groove and insert technology, this allows weight to be positioned around the perimeter of the club head, thus creating a high moment of inertia (MOI). As a result of increased MOI, it increases the forgiveness of off-centre hits.

In essence my putter range encompasses the following;

* The thin, firm multi-layer aluminium insert enhances feel & gives exceptional feedback
* Groove technology creates immediate forward roll
* Perimeter weighting enhances the MOI, increasing forgiveness
* Optimal head weight, in order to eliminate the ‘hit’ at the moment of impact…

GEL is Number One Groove Putter in Asia

October 15th, 2008 | GEL Golf, Putting Biomechanics, Quintic Video Software

Hong Kong; GEL Golf has firmly established itself as the number one groove putter on Tour in Asia with GEL putters dominating the statistics on the Asian and China Tours over the last couple of months and consolidating its position at last week’s Tour events.

At the Indian Open on the Asian Tour which finished on Sunday (October 12), a total of 21 players had GEL putters in their bags in New Delhi ahead of groove putter rival Yes, who had 16 players in the field using their putters.

Whilst at the Omega Championship, the season-ending Tour Championship on the China Tour, GEL putters completely overshadowed all other putter brands with 27 players – over 25% of the field – choosing to use a GEL putter.

The news completes a breakthrough year for GEL Golf which has already celebrated three Tour victories around the world in the last 12 months; Bryan Saltus of the United States won the Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open on the Asian Tour last December with his GEL Sapphire putter, Taiwanese Hsu Mong-nam secured victory in the Omega China Tour’s Shanghai Championship in May with a GEL Jade putter and in early September American Tom Stankowski captured the Canadian Tour Championship in Ontario using a GEL Emerald putter.

“Considering GEL Golf was only launched at the start of 2007, we are immensely proud of the incredible progress we have made with GEL Putters in the ultra-competitive golf market,” commented Alec Pettigrew, CEO of Hong Kong-based GEL Golf.

“With so many professionals now using GEL Putters on Tour, it proves that we have developed a good quality product that quite simply helps hole putts more often. Whilst we are 100% confident that groove and insert technology creates instant forward roll on the golf ball, thus reducing the unwelcome effects of skidding and giving a straighter, truer roll, the pros are now discovering this for themselves and relying on GEL Putters to improve their performance on tour. There is no greater endorsement for our product that this.”

One of golf’s most innovative technology manufacturers, GEL Golf uses horizontal precision-cut, aluminium inserts for a more responsive feel and enhanced sweet spot. Following feedback from Tour pros, GEL has made their putters larger, heavier and more balanced heads, encouraging an even smoother and more rhythmical putting stroke.

The original GEL Putter range launched in January 2007 at the PGA Golf Show in Orlando comprises of six models, namely the Emerald, Diamond, Sapphire, Jade, Opal and Ruby whilst the latest range, the GEL Paul Hurrion Signature Range boasts four models; the Rego, Scindo, Sedo and Sedo II.

Dr Paul Hurrion, a leading sports biomechanists and a renown putting coach to a host of top European and Ryder Cup stars, combined over 10 years of research and development in biomechanics and putting with GEL’s groove and insert technology, to create the distinctive GEL Paul Hurrion Signature Range.

To look at, GEL Putters are easily distinguishable using bright yellow and blue grips for men, and pink and blue grips for women, and electric blue and pink face inserts.

Hi-Tec CDT wins GOLF EUROPE Product Award 2008

October 8th, 2008 | Biomechanics Consultancy, Full Swing Biomechanics, Hi-Tec, Padraig Harrington, Quintic Video Software

Global sports and outdoor footwear manufacture HI-TEC are proud winners of the Golf Europe Product Awards 2008 presented yesterday at the Golf Europe Exhibition, Germany. Judged by leading industry experts the HI-TEC Pure Power WPi scooped top prize at this years prestigious awards only open exclusively to innovative products scheduled for market introduction in 2009.

The brand new HI-TEC Pure Power WPi is a revolution in golf footwear, never seen before! Featuring HI-TEC’s exclusive CDT game enhancement technology, developed in partnership with Quintic Consultancy and world number 4 and 3 time major winner Padraig Harrington, this style continues to prove that winning power does come from your feet!

The Pure Power WPi also features the worlds first in nano technology - ion-mask™. ion-mask™ is a brand new, earth friendly, scientific advancement that works on a molecular level to repel water and other liquids, ensuring your footwear stays lighter, dryer and cleaner for longer, without changing the original properties of the material.

Unlike other waterproofing technologies that only offer waterproofing with a degree of breathability, the ion-mask™ water management technology offers a further 6 key benefits.

100 % Waterproof - By enhancing each individual fibre of the materials themselves and with particularly dense material such as leather it is possible to engineer a 100% waterproof product.
100% Breathable - The treatment binds invisibly (on a nano scale) to material fibres, enhancing them, rendering the material as breathable after the process as before.
Hydrophobic - By enhancing each individual fibre the shoe itself becomes protected, much less absorbent to liquids and quicker drying.
Lightweight - A treated shoe does not absorb as much water in wet conditions and is on average 35grams lighter than those with a membrane.
Stay Cleaner - Like water, the treatment also helps to repel dirt and reduce staining whilst the low surface energy prevents long-term dirt and mud build up.
Environment Friendly - Non toxic, minute quantities of chemical are used during the room temperature process ensuring virtually no waste of materials of energy in comparison to dip application (DWR’s) or membrane technologies.

The award winning Power Power WPi represents a perfect illustration of HI-TEC’s commitment to instantly comfortable and lightweight game enhancing footwear. Available from May 2009 in White / Silver and White / Cobalt in sizes 6-12’s inc halves the Pure Power WPi has a suggested retail around £109.99.
