 MACRO®
Golf is focused on the most important anatomical factors that keep
putts on line:
- Prevent wrist breakdown to keep the putter face square at impact.
- Relax the muscles of the forearms, wrists and hands to produce
a smooth continuous stroke.
The design of the MACRO Putter promotes both of these factors and
is based upon long standing knowledge of the anatomy of the wrist
and the relation between the position of the hands and the muscles
of the forearm. The patented MACRO Putter takes advantage of the
anatomical relationships that govern the flexibility of the wrist.
When golfers use the MACRO Putter their wrists become less flexible
and therefore less prone to "breakdown" during the stroke.
In addition the forearm muscles remain relaxed throughout the duration
of the stroke maintaining the intended putter head path.

This principle is simple to reproduce. Hold your hand in the position
indicated in Diagram 1 and rotate your wrist. Now close your hand
into a fist as shown in diagram 2 and perform the same action. When
the hand is open the rotational effort significantly more than the
range of motion substantially less. Gripping the patented design
of the MACRO Putter opens up the palm of the hand and reduces the
range and ease of motion of the wrist. Preventing wrist-breakdown
removes an important variable from the stroke and keeps the putter
face square at impact. The MACRO Putter allows the golfer to make
a judgment about the line of the putt with confidence that the putter
face will not open or close through impact with the ball.
The relaxation of the muscles in the forearms, wrists and hands,
has a direct bearing on the accuracy of a putting stroke. When these
muscle groups are relaxed a consistently smooth on-line putting
stroke results. On the other hand, tense muscles cause the putting
stroke to become choppy, robbing accuracy. In fact, many golfers
overcompensate for the slender handle on their traditional putters
by increasing grip pressure while tensing the muscles of the hand,
wrist and forearm. The patented shape of the MACRO Putter prevents
this tendency.
Try the same exercise mentioned above. Instead of checking for
wrist flexibility try to
judge the tension of your forearm muscles in both positions. When
your hand is open it is almost impossible to tense-up the muscles
of your forearm.
Just listen to what this orthopedic surgeon had to say:
I had the privilege of examination of your putter equipped with
the new MACRO Grip of your design. The MACRO Grip is without question
the most significant improvement of any golf club grip, providing
the very best anatomical, ergonomically-designed shape. The putter
can be held firmly, yet without strain. The grip conforms well
to the shape of the golfer's palms. The MACRO Grip facilitates
the synergistic action of strong finger flexors and wrist stabilizing
muscles; permits controlled, precise handling of the putter and
virtually eliminiates the flexing of the wrist and wrist breakdown,
so detrimental to the precision with which the golfer strikes
the ball. It helps the golfer to successfully achieve consistent
control of the putter head. Accurate putting has never been easier!

The
MACRO grip is available in three sizes:
Feel, the transmission of vibrations from the club face to the hands is an important factor in guiding putts to their target. A club with good "feel"allows the golfer to know when he or she has struck the ball on the sweet spot of the face, whether the face was square at impact, and the strength of the impact.
