"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 searched
GOOGLE.COM for 'PUTTING PUTTERS"
and Quantum was #1 of about 750,000 listings.
Then I purchased a Quantum Putter
on that very first visit because everything you
said about it made sense."

"I searched
YAHOO.COM for 'PUTTERS PUTTING' and Quantum
was #1 of about 750,000 listings.
For over 30 years I have been golfing
and buying golf equipment and
this is the first time I ever bought a golf club that actually did
everything the manufacturer said it would do."

GOLF PUTTERS GOLF PUTTING TESTIMONIAL

"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."

"Wow!
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."

Clear GIFs (Web Beacons/Web Bugs)
-- We may employ a software technology called clear gifs (a.k.a. Web
Beacons/Web Bugs), that help us better manage the content of our site by informing
us which content is most effective. Clear gifs are tiny graphics with a unique
identifier, similar in function to cookies, and are used to track the online
movements of Web users. In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a

are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. We do not tie the
information gathered by clear gifs to our customers’ Personally Identifiable
Information. We use clear gifs in our HTML-based emails to let us know which
emails have been opened by recipients. This allows us to gauge the
effectiveness of certain communications and the effectiveness of our marketing
campaigns.
-
Links to
Other Sites
--
This Website contains links to other sites that are not
owned or controlled by our Company. Please be advised that we are not
responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage you

every website that asks you for Personally Identifiable Information.

-- If your Personally Identifiable Information changes, you may correct/update
such information by

security of your personal information is important to us. It is for this reason
that we use the popular and reputable third party billing and collection service
called PayPal
which is a division of the eBay (note: PayPal and eBay are
registered trademarks of other very well respected companies). This way we are not even involved with or made
aware of your sensitive information, such as credit card number, and we and our
clients can be assured that every sensitive transaction is encrypted using the
latest in secure socket layer technology. We follow generally
accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us,
both during transmission and once we receive it. However be advised that no
method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is
100% secure, therefore while it is our practice to use commercially acceptable
means to protect your personal information, we cannot nor can anyone else guarantee absolute
security.
-
Business Entity Transactions
-- In the event we do a business
entity transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or
a portion of its assets; your Personally Identifiable Information will likely be
among the assets transferred. We assure you that in that event, you will be notified via email and/or
a prominent
notice on our website, of any such change in ownership and transfer of your personal information;
furthermore, you will be given the opportunity to opt-out of our data base of
Personally Identifiable Information before such transferring takes place.
