"In my 40 plus years of golfing having
achieved Golf Digest Teacher of the Year, PGA Professional of the Year, and
Horton Smith Award winner in my home state of Connecticut, I have seen a lot
of putters - from its beautiful head to its awesome grip, you can't find a
better putter than the Quantum."

TEST YOUR PUTTER FOR SWEET
IMPACT CAPABILITY |
|
TAP
TEST
Hold
your putter loosely with one hand and then tap where on the head where you are
supposed to strike the ball – if this tapping causes the putter head to
rotate even the slightest, then your putter has no sweet spot and is not
capable of sweet impact dynamics. |
|
SPIN
TEST
Hold
your putter between the palms of your hands and then move your palms to and
fro to cause the putter head to spin one way then the other – if this
spinning wobbles even in the slightest, you’re your putter is out of balance
and incapable of sweet impact. |

"I came across your
website and have been reading it for over an hour and I am blown away! You
give the best explanation about putters and putting I have ever read and
that's saying something because I have been a PGA member for over 50 years
and active in teaching putting almost that entire time. Quantum is the only
putter that has it right."
Later he writes,
"There is no question in my mind that the science that has gone into this
putter is of the highest order. High on the list are the training alignment
aids that go with this putter, they are extremely valuable, plus you have
the opportunity to change the weights in the head, if you so desire. To say
the least, I am very impressed with my new Quantum Putter.

"I have no doubt the golf balls roll
much smoother than they did with any of my former putters (Ping, Ping G5i
Anser, Nike Oz, Taylormade Rossa Monza). My overall feeling is very positive
- the Quantum Putter is very efficient and I really enjoy having it."
Edgar Zanotto, San Carlos Brazil |
QUANTUM GOLF PUTTING PUTTERS TESTIMONIAL
|
"The Quantum is so different than
anything else that comparing it to other putters is like trying to compare
apples and oranges. My major concern about the Quantum was its negative loft
because so many were telling me that a loft was needed to lift the ball up
out of a turf indent; but that was quickly dispelled and to prove the point
to myself, I actually stepped on a few balls to push them further down into
the green and I found that the rolling launch still always occurred."

 "Duane,
you are a genius because you have designed the sweetest putter on the
planet. I have been around the golfing market for a long time and before
that my father was around the golfing market even longer. I expect that your
Quantum Putter will soon become the 'numero uno' putter in the world."

"I was the inventor of MetalWoods
and ever since I sold my company to TaylorMade, I have always said that if I
were to go back into the business it would be with a putter rather than the
other clubs in a full set. I understand perfectly what you said about
bending/breaking the shaft, and your analogy about heel shafting tennis
racquets made the point about how ridiculous it is to heel shaft putters. I
look forward to using my new Quantum Putter and I'll be happy to give you
whatever help and advise I can from my experience as a golf club
entrepreneur."

I have been taken by your putter. There simply does not exist anywhere else
in the golf universe a putter that is designed in this comprehensive way -
it is the perfect tool for the job of putting. No other putter I have ever
used gives me this quantum improvement in my putting precision."

The sooner you buy your
new Quantum Putter,
the sooner your golf game will get better.
No matter where in the world you are, we custom
make your Quantum Putter at our Phoenix Factory to your exact specification and
then inspect for quality; when we are satisfied that it is perfect in every way,
we pack it securely in a shipping container and send it directly to you
by United States Postal Service Registered Priority Mail (or
Express Mail if you specify). This way there is no "middle-man" who
adds to the price and might
not do things right.
Custom making your putter usually takes about a
week but it can take longer if the parts required for assembly are on backorder
from our Machine Shop. Inspection and Packing usually takes another couple days,
and shipping usually takes about a week to anywhere within the USA or to any port of
entry worldwide.
If you are located outside of the USA, we cannot
estimate how long it will take to get the shipment from your port of entry to
your location because that varies greatly from one country to another. Also your
country's port of entry may assess a duty tax on the shipment which you will
need to pay before it will be forwarded to your location. We cannot estimate the
amount of this duty tax either because it varies widely from country to country
and from product to product. So, if you are concerned about this shipping delay
or added taxation, please consult your port of entry prior to placing your
order.
When you order your putter, you will need to
specify exactly what you want. No doubt what you want is a perfectly fitted
putter; but, if you fit yourself or even have your local golf-pro help you with
fitting, it may be that your fitting specification will be imperfect in some
way. Of course, if your fitting is imperfect in any way, then you will not get
the optimum performance improvement you are looking for from of your new
precision putter. The only solution to this problem is for us to help you with
your fitting.
But it is impractical for us to have a qualified
fitter at every location throughout the world, so we have selected the most
qualified Quantum Putter Fitter there is in the world and asked him to help you
get perfectly fitted. He is Grant Westthorp who
operates his fitting studio in Albany West Australia, but he has developed a
method of perfectly fitting clients with digital photos that are emailed to him,
so none of his clients need to travel to Albany for fitting. With his help you can be
assured of a perfect fit, so we highly recommend that you consult with him as
part of your purchasing process.
Packing and Shipping charges are as follows:
-
Within the Continental USA, USD$20 for Priority, $40
for Express.
-
In Hawaii and Alaska, and US Territories, USD$30 for
Priority, $50 for Express.
-
Anywhere else in the world, USD$40 for Priority and
$60 for Express.
Arizona residents will also have to pay applicable
Sales Tax.
The price of a Quantum Putter is USD$395 and Grant
Westthorp's help
with fitting is included in that price.
Here is what you get when you order your custom
made Quantum
Putter:
-
One new technology Quantum Putter with your choice
of one of three heads: Blade (Model X), Middy (Model XX), or Mallet (Model XXX).
-
One straight steel shaft with tactile grip and
length ranging from 18 to 36 inches and hosel ranging from 68 degrees flat to
80 degrees upright.
-
Shafts with lengths greater than 36 inches and up to
54 inches are
available with special order - just contact us for
current pricing.
-
The Hosel is permanently bonded to Shaft, but the
hosel/shaft assembly is attached to the head such that it can be removed to give
the benefit of shaft-head interchangeability. Thus if a golfer has one fitted
shaft and multiple heads, he can interchange his shaft to any of his heads;
likewise, if, a golfer has multiple shafts and only one head, he can interchange
his head to any of his shafts. Extra heads and extra shafts are available with
special order - just contact us for current pricing.
-
A tactile symmetric grip is bonded to each shaft,
however you can specify "no-grip", in the event you
want to install another kind of grip onto your shaft after delivery.
-
A Ditty Bag is included which contains: 1) The Special Key required by
the USGA to Rotate the Putter Head for Left/Right Adaptability, Practice/Play
Convertibility, Power Adjustment, and to remove the Putter Head for Head/Shaft interchangeability. 2) Two sets of Power Adjustment Weights,
one for more power and another for even more power. 3) Four Alignment Pegs to be used
for X-Y-Z alignment when the head is rotated into its Practice
Mode. If you ever loose any ditties, replacements are available on special order
- just contact us for current pricing.
-
Owner's Manual
-
Head Cover. Replacement head covers are available
on special order - just contact us for current
pricing.
Here is what you get when you order a fitting
consultation:
-
We will have our fitter, Grant Westthorp, contact you via email
or phone. He will ask
you to have someone take some digital pictures of you in your putting stance,
and then he will want you to email these digital pictures to him for analysis.
After he analyzes these
pictures, he'll call or email you and advise you of any changes he would recommend
you make to your putting stance before arriving at your final putter fitting factors.
Then once your stance is corrected the final fitting factors can be determined. This process might take a week or so
depending on how responsive you are when Grant asks you for the digital photos.
-
When you get your perfect fitting factors from him
(head mass, shaft length/lie), you can come back here to this webpage and finish
your purchase order.
