Heavy Putter is introducing its newest model, the A-1, a center-shafted blade design the company said offers the same features that distinguish all Heavy Putter models -- heavy-mass putter heads and a Weight Management System consisting of a heavy upper-shaft insert and interchangeable tip weights to create a patented balance point 75 percent higher than conventional putters. The introduction of the A-1 (suggested retail price $259) "is the next step in our goal to provide golfers what they want," said Heavy Putter President Steve Boccieri, "a putter that looks great, feels great and helps them make more putts of all lengths." The fourth product in the Heavy Putter line, Boccieri said the A-1 is available in various standard, mid- and long-putter lengths for men and women in both right- and left-handed models. The standard Heavy Putter total weight of 885 grams (roughly two pounds), according to Boccieri, is the heaviest among USGA-conforming putters and roughly twice the weight of conventional putters. Besides the A-1, other Heavy Putter models available are A3 (blade-style head with a heel mounted, double-bend shaft configuration); B1 (mallet-style head with a center-mounted shaft); and B3 (mallet-style head with a heel-mounted, double-bend shaft).
