Rossa Series putter manufacturer TaylorMade Golf launched a new Rossa Ghost Series Putter. This series of product design philosophy is to help players make it easier to aim the ball rolling along the track of player expectations. It is worth mentioning that the world-renowned putting coach (who is also signed Rossa Tour player) Dave Stockton is also involved in the design of the series putter.
"Our initial design goal is to build a putter than any easier to aim," Rossa series, senior director Bill Price said. "This allows us to consider using a white surface treatment for related experiments. We consulted Indiana, a professor of optometry - Steven A. Hitzeman, Dr., and he also gave us strong support for R & D work."
The sharp contrast between black and white easy to aim
"Rossa Ghost white background putter head abnormalities visible in the grass, which is the white and green lawn caused a strong color contrast" Hitzeman, Dr. (Hitzeman Doctor is not only the Association of Indiana, former chairman of optometry, he was the nation's Optometric Association Sports Vision former head of the Department.) "High color contrast so that players are the greatest degree of stimulation of the retina so that the shape and characteristics of the head to be identified more easily. If the head with a black or gray, it will result in reduced visual contrast. This is because compared to black or gray white, the green grass and the background is more similar in color caused by light. white causing the greatest degree of brightness difference, and therefore maximize the contrast and make the players more focused attention. Many golfers tend to use push front auxiliary target rod (the front head vertical and the imaginary line of sight). Therefore, the head front of the high color contrast to give a better golfer when aiming the opportunity to put right putter face. In addition , putter head at the top of the line of sight was painted black - to make it with the putter head showing the white contrast. In summary, Putter all the design elements that are designed to help golf hand significantly increased the probability of accurate targeting. "
In order to Rossa Ghost series aimed at putting more easily, engineers in the crown of the three calibration lines on the set, while the Golf head back to open a hole. The purpose of this design is aimed to give players more ways locked. "You can choose to target putt rod overhead lines," irons, wedges and putter Bret Wahl, Senior Director of Development said, "and you can visually or three calibration lines and the rear of the hole location on the golf to the gun. focus is that you have a variety of targeting options, but any one can help you to effectively target. "
As Rossa Ghost Series putter club head is white, in the calibration of the three black lines become very easy to identify and use, Hitzeman, MD, "Rossa Ghost putting the three calibration lines are designed to become the owners and background of a high degree of visual contrast. high color contrast so that players are the greatest degree of stimulation of the retina, so as to enhance player attention and in turn promote the targeting accuracy. "
Eliminate "hot spots"
"Hot spot" is caused by the putter head at the top of the sunlight reflection, it will distract the attention of players hit the ball, you can not focus on the putter head and target systems, so that they can not accurately aim at a target line.
"When I joined 60 years on tour, I use a silver mallet-type putter," Stockton said, "caused by normal use dent crown, when I will be ready to hit the ball in the sun issued under the irradiation of flash, which seriously distracted my attention that I had to take frequent crown sandblasted to reduce hot spots. When you look down the putter head when aiming, you do not want to be Drivers distracted on anything, because you have to do is to make putter things on the line of sight is. "
Rossa Ghost putting the white surface of the complete elimination of the "hot spots", which enable players to concentrate the attention of the head and calibration systems, without interference of the target ball.
Three models - with the same calibration system design
Rossa Ghost series, including three putter with large mallet-type head of Corza Ghost, with the knife blade-type club head of Daytona Ghost and the use of medium mallet-type head of the Fontana Ghost. As a mallet-type putter, Corza Ghost of aluminum with a high moment of inertia of the head even when hit side to maintain a stable putter performance. The crown on the three calibration lines can not only help accurate targeting, but also allows the ball is at the center of the face to make the player a solid and accurate to putt. The Daytona Ghost and the Fontana Ghost putter club head is the use of stainless steel, but the same surface with white and black calibration line, players can also bring wonderful putter performance.
