CONVERT-A-PUTTER™

HOW IT WORKS

The Convert-A-Putter™ is a simple and easy to use kit that can attach to most blade and cavity back putters. In just seconds you’ll be able to add every feature that modern golf technology has to offer. When you install the kit and take your first practice stroke you’ll notice how the increased swingweight tends to slow down and smooth out your putting stroke. You’ll also notice that moving the center of gravity backwards and increasing the moment of inertia (resistance to twisting) helps stabilize your swing. You’ll start using your upper arms and shoulders which will help tremendously if you tend to get a “little handsy” or “flip” the putter. Plus, all these features are adjustable by changing the amount of weight you add or remove. And when you first address the ball you’ll notice how easy alignment is. Our 3 dimensional alignment system was designed to boldly catch your eye and tell you exactly where you’re aiming. And finally, when you take your first putt you’ll be in for a very pleasant surprise. You’ll notice that the feel is definitely softer than a solid metal putter but not as mushy as some current inserts on the market. We specifically chose this material for our face to achieve two goals: soft feel and great feedback. You’ll find that when you do hit the sweetspot you feel and hear a nice, dull thud, as all center hits should be. But when you miss the sweetspot you’ll not only know that you missed it but you’ll know exactly where you missed it. This face is the most responsive face in golf! It’s as if each corner of the face has its own sensor to tell you exactly where you’re making contact. And that’s the key to becoming a great putter. Technology should not only help us but should also teach us where we need to improve. And as an added bonus, mounting the Convert-A-Putter™ will raise the center of gravity of your putter and promote more forward roll. Putts that may have been short in the past will now have that extra bit of roll to help them get to the hole. All in all, you’ll find that your kit offers more options and more adjustability than any putter on the market, irregardless of costs. And, you can use it on a number of different putters. This kit is so versatile and has so many options that we’re sure you’ll agree with us that it’s not only a great innovation but it’s also the best value in golf. So, enjoy your kit, adjust it to your game and get ready to become a great putter!

 

MOUNTING THE KIT

To install the kit, first remove the perimeter weighting tube or V-tube(C) by unscrewing weight screw(A) with wrench(B), (see Figure 1). Then remove the backing material from mounting tape(F). While keeping the kit centered in relation to the putter’s cavity or centerline, slip it over the putter so the kit’s face covers the putter’s face. If it isn’t centered, simply pull the kit away from the putter’s face to release the tape and try again. While holding the kit’s face against the putter’s face insert a small, flat screwdriver thru hole(D) until it engages mounting screw(E). Turn clockwise until the top of the kit is parallel to the putter’s sole or bottom edge, (see Figure 2). That’s it. Don’t over tighten. If you do over tighten and flex the kit too far upward simply unscrew it a little until it is parallel. You can now place appearance plug(G) into hole(D). Give the face a final press against the putter to ensure a good bond and you’re ready to start putting. If you’d like to increase the swingweight and moment of inertia (resistance to twisting) a bit more, simply replace plug(G) with weight screw(A). This will add approximately 6 grams of weight. And if you’d like to add perimeter weighting and increase the moment of inertia to it’s maximum, reattach V-tube(C) as it was originally installed. The legs of the V-tube are also threaded and can take either plugs(G) or weight screws(A). If you’re pulling or pushing your putts try a plug in one leg and a weight in the other. Try all combinations until you find what works best for you. If you prefer a semi permanent installation remove mounting tape(F) and add a few drops of any common household silicon sealant across most of the back and inside corner(I) of face(H), and tip of screw(E). Clean up any excess sealant with rubbing alcohol and allow to set over night. Later, if you’d like to remove the kit, slide a butter knife between the kit face and putter face until the bond is broken. If you’d like a permanent installation use any 2 part epoxy instead of silicon.
