This One You Gotta
See
There are dozens of putters introduced each year, some good, some not so good, but the new
HotRod putter shown for the first time at last week’s PGA Merchandise Show is one you ‘gotta’ see.
The asymmetrical head is shaped like a free-form flame and will attract attention every time you take
it out of the bag. According to Fred Knecht of HotRod the open body mallet style, “…merges style and
performance in a way never attempted before. It brings new feel, focus and style to the most
challenging and intricate part of the game.”
At 372 grams the HotRod is bit heavier than some other putters but in combination with the high MOI
head design (i.e., lots of resistance to twisting at impact) those that have tried it say it produces great
results. Knecht describes the reaction from golfers as, “it aligns and swings like a blade but strikes
the ball with the distance and accuracy control of a mallet.
During the Merchandise Show the HotRod booth had thousands of visitors gawking both at the
show-stopping putter and a vintage Mustang GT, a crowd pleaser by itself.
The HotRod putter is available in four different finishes, chrome, nickel, black chrome and simulated
flame with a variety of shaft lengths. The MSRP is $199 at HotRodPutter.com and it will soon be
available at green-grass and retail outlets.
