Summary | Technology | Construction | Specifications | BGS Benefits

The BGS mallet is designed and aimed specifically for the sophisticated and demanding golfer. It is the most advanced mallet in the balanced putter category. BGS putters combine technology and uncompromising performance complimented by their precise aiming lineup while exhibiting beauty in their execution.

BGS stands for "Balanced Gravity System" with the CG precisely positioned behind the striking area of the putter face. The putter head consists of three major components: The body platform, which is made from pure aluminum alloy with specific gravity = 2.6 g/cm3. The heel and toe weights, which are made from Nickel Chromium alloy with specific gravity = 8 g/cm3.

The weight balance is formed by distributing the masses of the BGS-33 and BGS-Ex putters' three components equally in three directions, thus forming a triangular weight distribution. One of the weights is strategically positioned toward the toe while the second weight is positioned toward the heel. The combination of the high density weights and the low density body platform redistribute the center of gravity by pulling it toward the back of the putter head. With this precise CG position, the polar moment of inertia (MOI) becomes very effective in preventing the putter head from twisting and delivers ultimate forgiveness. The benefit of back weighting for the average golfer is that it elevates the club during take away so that he/she would not have to manipulate the club to generate top-spin.

The feel of the putter is a combination of visual perception and sound. Most face-insert putters use hard anodized aluminum, usually for color, which hardens the striking surface. BGS utilizes pure and untreated face-inserts which provide for a natural, softer feel. BGS Putters incorporate two towers that are completely detached from the body face and separately positioned on a platform using vibration resistant materials. The concept of the towers is similar to that used in high-performance stereo speaker systems. Sound is caused by vibration of back towers, similar to a piano key being struck activating the strings.
