If the Contender survives the First
Three Rounds, he is an able opponent and may go the distance - so here is how to
score the rest of the fight.
.
| |
Score 30 points for surviving
the first three rounds |
|
Score 10 points for grip that is tactile and impervious to moisture
Score 10 points for grip that is symmetrical in cross section |
| |
Score 10 if shaft is perfectly
straight
Score 10 if shaft vectors directly into the center of gravity of the head
Deduct 10 if hosel is offset (as in the Ping Anser) or if it is bent. |
| |
Deduct 10 if head is
excessively large, especially front to back.
Deduct 10 if there is a soft striking pad.
Score 10 if the striking face has a negative loft angle
Deduct 10 if the striking face has a positive loft angle. |
| |
Deduct 5 if the leading edge
of the sole is not rounded over.
Score 10 if the sole is fully rounded over and grooved to hold alignment. |
| |
Score 5 if the putter is Power
Adjustable.
Score 5 if the putter is Convertible for Practice and Play. |
| |
TOTAL SCORE |
.
The Quantum Putter scores a perfect 100
points. How does the contender compare with the Quantum Putter?
|
 |
For example,
the Odyssey Two Ball Putter (the putter to be blamed for starting
the trend of ridiculous mallet putters) would score as follows: Zero
for not surviving the first three rounds; zero for not having a tactile
impervious symmetrical grip; minus 10 for having excessive front to back
size; minus 10 for having a striking pad; minus 10 for having a positive
loft angle; and minus 10 for having a sharp leading edge. Total score is a
Minus 40. This means this putter does more harm than good for
putting performance. |

For example, the Ping Anser
(the putter to be blamed for starting the trend of offset broken
shafting) would score as follows: Zero for surviving the first three
rounds; zero for not having a tactile impervious symmetrical grip; minus
10 for having the offset hosel; minus 10 for having a positive loft angle;
minus 10 for having a sharp leading edge. Total score is a Minus 30.
This means this putter also does more harm than good for putting
performance. |

HERE IS HOW TO DO A
VALUE COMPARISON
The Price of a Quantum Putter is $495
(including custom fitting) and it scores 100 value comparison points, so
the base comparison value is $4.95 per point. Now let's say the
contender scores 30 value comparison points (not to be confused with the 2
Ball in the above example which scored a minus 30); then at $4.95 per point, the
comparative value of the contender is $148.50. So if you would pay more
than $148.50 for that 30 point contender, it would not be as good a value
as the Quantum at $495. Do you see why they say, you get what you pay
for? |
