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…
