GEL vs the competition slow motion videos
The example videos above are representative of the extensive testing within the Quintic putting laboratory. Each putt is analysed using our ‘putting robot’ to ensure the contact point within the arc of the stroke is also consistant. All three putters have 3 degrees of loft, with the respective shaft lean to create 1 degree of loft at the point of impact.
* Putts staying on line – as the ball has immediate roll there is less chance of the imperfections in the green knocking the ball off line.
* Better distance control – as the ball is rolling straight off the putter head it is therefore in contact with the ground and will decelerate as opposed to when hit by a flat faced putter which skids the ball or makes it hop and therefore there is inconsistent friction with the ground resulting in loss of distance control.
* GEL has improved on Groove Technology by adding an ALUMINIUM insert –
This provides improved FEEL for the putter, along with horizontal grooves, which unlike some grooved putters do not put side spin on the ball when hit off centre. GEL has also added weight to all the heads to create a more solid feel in the hands of the golfer.
* The latest in shaft technology to increase feel and improve pace control. The videos highlight the effect of missing the ’sweet spot’ of the putter face. Each video is taken with the contact being 20mm from the sweet spot for all three putters. Further research also indicates the GEL putter has a ball velcoity of 95% of compared with 100% from the ’sweet spot’. This in turn means that miss hits still go ‘very close’ to the same distance as well struck putts. After all, pace controls the line!
