Putting Master Adds New Models to Already Impressive Line
With yet another successful year under its belt, GEL announced four new additions to its ‘Paul Hurrion Signature Range’ for 2009. Since its launch in 2007, GEL Golf has firmly established itself as the number one groove putter on Tour in Asia and is aggressively working its way into the PGA, EU PGA and Canadian Tours.
In an industry first, the ‘GEL Paul Hurrion Signature Range’ comes equipped with a True Temper Dynamic Gold iron shaft rather than a standard putter shaft used by the rest of the industry.
This innovative approach allows Paul to reposition weight around the perimeter of the putter head, leading to a more rhythmic stroke, better response, and high moment of inertia for a truer roll. Paul has also created a unique inline weighting system with tungsten concealed in the putter head. Unlike industry counterparts, GEL putters feature horizontal grooves that are milled at a precise angle onto a soft aluminum insert.
These new technologies create instant forward roll of the golf ball, reducing the effect of skidding providing truer roll off the ball immediately after its been struck. Tests prove that the roll of a golf ball immediately after it’s been struck, is the most crucial element in directing the ball towards the intended target, and show why groove putters outperform all others on the market.
“We’re very excited to be releasing additional models to an already successful line of GEL putters,” said Alec Pettigrew, Managing Director of Groove Equipment Ltd. “With Paul’s expertise in golf and biomechanics, GEL has truly delivered a putter for golfers of all abilities.”
GEL’s groove and multi-layer aluminum insert technology enables weight to be positioned around the perimeter of the putter head, creating a high moment of inertia (MOI) for a truer roll. In conjunction with the increased MOI, the patented new GEL True Temper Dynamic Gold S400 shaft design enables the golfer to experience the latest in shaft technology, increased feel and improved pace control. Unlike industry counterparts, GEL putters feature horizontal grooves that are milled at a precise angle onto a soft aluminum insert. The result is a putter that starts the ball rolling faster and straighter offering unparalleled feel.
“Based on the success of the inaugural GEL ‘Paul Hurrion Signature Range’, I have designed four new models to help golfers continue to enjoy the key benefits tour players look for on the greens,” said Dr. Paul Hurrion. “A putter designed with horizontal grooves to impart forward roll, peripheral-weighting that maximizes the sweet spot across the putter face and heel-toe weighting to increase the MOI for improved resistance to twisting on off-center hits. This creates stability at impact in the area of the game that matters most,” he concludes.
Dr. Paul Hurrion Signature Range - Overview:
1) ORA – ( Edge)
A modified alignment, face-balanced blade with an inline weighting, a ‘crank-neck’ hosel and full shaft offset. Weight alignment arms create unique weight distribution within the putter face. Three-line alignment system squares the putter face to help focus the putter to the target. Loft 3.0 degrees. Lie 73 degrees. Standard shaft length: 33″ to 35″. 431 stainless steel material. (385gm head weight)
2) PONDERA – (Balance / Equilibrium)
A heel-toe, weighted mallet with a ‘crank-neck’ hosel and full shaft offset. A single alignment system squares the putter face to help focus the putter to the target. Loft 3.0 degrees. Lie 73 degrees. Standard shaft length: 33″ to 35″. 431 stainless steel material. (360gm head weight)
3) VICIS - (Time)
A heel-toe, weighted modified blade with a ‘crank-neck’ hosel and full shaft offset. Loft 3.0 degrees. Lie 73 degrees. Standard shaft length: 33″ to 35″. 431 stainless steel material. (365gm head weight)
4) QUASSO – (Break)
A heel-toe, weighted modified blade with a ‘crank-neck’ hosel and full shaft offset. Loft 3.0 degrees. Lie 73 degrees. Standard shaft length: 33″ to 35″. 431 stainless steel material. (350gm head weight)
PONDERA – (Balance / Equilibrium)
