FANG-TASTIC: Sacks Parente Golf delivers new ghoulish DRAC mallet shaped putter
Sacks Parente Golf (SPG) has released the unique looking fang-shaped mallet DRAC putter.
Short for Dracula, the Series 02 DRAC boasts a striking silhouette that aims to deliver stability on every stroke and a straighter roll.
Steve Sacks, Co-founder of SPG, said: “Our mission is to help golfers make more putts by creating the best putting instruments ever built.
“In the DRAC, we not only applied our patented Ultra-Low Balance Point (ULBP) technology that is in all our putters, but we managed to move a significant amount of weight forward – more weight than any other mallet, to create a higher MOI for a consistent roll off the face. We believe golfers will experience a feel that is unmatched. Any golfer who wants to make more putts will want this putter.”
What can we expect from the DRAC?
To create more stability on off-center hits, SPG engineers added 100 Ultra-low Balance Point (ULBP)
ULBP is SPG’s patented weight distribution technology, which means that SPG engineers have taken weight out of the shaft and grip and centralised most of the weight in the head.
ULBP is defined as a balance point 5” or less from the sole of the putter, where the golfer can now feel the head as it travels through the putting arc.
SPG uses an ultralight graphite shaft (sub-40 grams) and special reduced weight grip (35 grams or less). Made by Sacks Parente Shaft facility in St. Joe Missouri USA
This weight distribution produces a natural pendulum motion so that the golfer doesn’t force the stroke, but rather lets the club do the steering to ensure grams of tungsten weighting on the heel and toe – 50 grams added to the heel and 50 grams added to the toe.
This gave SPG the ability to move weight out of the middle put it to the heel and toe to make it very stable.
Weight-Forward Center of Gravity
All SPG putters have maximized the face-forward center of gravity and the DRAC is no exception.
SPG has brought a significant amount of weight forward to decrease sidespin that rear-weighted putters can cause.
When you combine perimeter weighting near the face with SPG’s lightweight graphite shaft, it provides a unique feel and consistency.
