Gravity Golf Arc Putter | The Brik On A Stik

The “Brik on a Stik,” is the newest offering in our line of unique arc putters. This is the fifth putter David Lee has put into production, and the technology of arc putters continues to evolve. Lee says that each time he builds a new model, he immediately begins trying to create ways to improve it. The “Brik” is a center shafted model, whereas our other putters are heel shafted. Hitting the ball in the middle of the putter face is as critical for an accurate putt as with any other golf shot. Being face balanced, this putter allows the player more room for error on off center hits.

Arc Putters Allow Better Physics

If you have seen our putting video, you know that we are great believers in putting on the arc. It is a technically superior method to putting straight back and straight through. One of the greatest putters of all time, Bobby Locke, was an arc putter, as was Ben Crenshaw. The same physics that caused the rotary place kick in football to replace the straight on kick, apply to putting. All of Gravity Golf putter designs are made to putt on the arc instead of back and forth on the flight-line.

Adjustable Arc Putter Design

This unique putter is a combination blade/mallet head that has an adjustable hosel for altering the loft or lie. It comes with a 1/8 inch Allen wrench that allows you to set the loft and lie to your own desired specifications. Your height and posture will dictate a perfect lie angle to match your unique body. How you apply power will allow you to find the ideal loft to give a perfect roll to the ball. Once the putter is perfectly adjusted for you, there is great consistency and ease of putting the ball exactly on the intended starting line. You will never put a putter in your hands that transmits a better feel or puts a smoother roll on the ball!

The Difference Between an Arc Putter and a Down The Line Putter

For some inexplicable reason, about ninety years ago the equipment industry began making putters more upright. Putters began to work in a pendulum instead of a rotary fashion. Players started to putt back and forth on the flight-line, instead of on the arc. Golfers would stand with their weight equally on both feet and essentially push the ball down the line with the arms. As the lie changes, they try to match the level of their shoulders to the contour of the ground. If power is applied through the shoulders, arms, and hands, instead of with the turn of the entire core, energy goes back into the body during delivery. This causes the plane of the putting stroke to change, and the putt will go off line unless compensations are made. Additionally, using only the shoulders and arms instead of body mass to apply power, the player must work harder.

The Way Physics Would Rethink Putting

If you stand on one side of an object and wish to move it, physics says you should turn your body. When you are putting, this creates a natural arc in the stroke. The flight-line will be tangent to that arc. Power should be applied around a single axis with the turn of the body leading the arms and the putter. Moving the ball with the weight of the entire core will diminish the effort required to reach the target. The ball position and turn of the body keeps the ball from going left, and the trap in the blade keeps it from going right. Your hands can be soft and free to feel when the power is being applied from the rotation.  You will enjoy more consistency in distance control.

Arc Putter Design Breaks The Mold

If you buy a putter on the market today, the way that you apply power will be dictated by the design of the club. Our intention is to design putters that compliment the best possible physics for power application. “Brik” on a “Stik” has been designed and built expressly for this purpose. The adjustable hosel allows the club to be personalized to the physical uniqueness of the individual. Because of the level of super fine adjustment, the Brik feels like it actually becomes part of your body. There is no accommodating yourself to fit the golf club. For the first time, you can customize your putter to the most natural stroke for your body. This allows you to take a purely ergonomic approach to setting up your putts.

Learn How To Use The “Brik” On A “Stik” Arc Putter

The best way to learn to putt on the arc is through some of the specialized Gravity Golf Drills. The putting drills, as with all of our training techniques, magnify improprieties in power application. You quickly become very sensitive to applying good physics and physiological principles in your putting stroke. Two of the best training exercises are “spooning” the ball, and practicing in a Three-Mode. When in a Three-Mode, hit a putt with the right hand only, then the left hand only, then both hands. After the first three putts, start the process over. Avoid using the same mode two or more times in a row. This exercise stops the brain from compensating without the player’s awareness. The proper ball position and power application will be learned through feel as opposed to positional dictates.
