The two most important aspects of a putter are balance and feel. Balance is easy to achieve; it's both measurable and repeatable. Feel, on the other hand, is a little tougher to gauge; it's completely tangible, yet you can't really read it with a machine. Milling and mixing metal to get that perfect resonance and weight is either hit or miss. How can you get it right each and every time? Simple, don't use metal. And thus was born the Louie3 from Louisville Golf, an innovative putter from their TRUE CENTER line that uses a Persimmon insert to give it that elusive feel that is so crucial to accuracy.

The advantage to using Persimmon over metal is that it has ideal density and elasticity. Contact with the ball is neither too soft nor too hard. After hitting a few balls on various green conditions with the Louie3, I have to agree; the feel is spot on perfect. It's an especially ideal club for faster greens. Also worth noting is the Louie3's forgiveness of off center strikes. The combination of perfect heel/toe balance and the natural resonance of the Persimmon insert results in little to no club twist if you miss the "sweet spot". Another bonus is the addition of a stabilizing pin running through the center of the putter head for additional stability and durability.

The Louie3 also happens to be an absolutely beautiful club. The rich Persimmon insert compliments the brass clubhead perfectly, lending to it a classic elegance. Louisville Golf also offers club personalization free of charge with the purchase of any of their wooden putters. The engraving is done in tasteful gold lettering in the bottom right corner of the insert on the putter's face. It's perfect for promotional giveaways at company functions, tournament prizes, or gifts in general.

Bottom line is, if you're looking for a putter with perfect balance, excellent feel and is quite easy on the eyes, then you need to swing a Louie3 TRUE CENTER from Louisville Golf. Currently available only in right hand, for about one hundred and twenty five dollars you can order one from www.LouisvilleGolf.com.
