LMG Sports, Inc. is introducing the Liquidmetal LS-1 Putter, company officials have announced. The classically designed blade, they said, was developed with two objectives in mind: balance and feel.
Designed for balance, the tiered heel-toe weighed stainless steel head delivers improved distance control, accuracy and forgiveness, they said. And the low frequency of the Liquidmetal insert provides soft feel.
Because of the unique characteristics of Liquidmetal alloy, company officials said, the insert provides what they call a "pure energy transfer" of the lower weighting to reduce skidding for a much more consistent and true roll. The precision milled Liquidmetal face produces much straighter putts, even on mis-hits, they said.
The putter contains a plumber neck hosel and is rear mounted on a stainless steel head. It comes with an ion-plated matte finish to mute any reflection or glare, and is outfitted with LMG's proprietary shaft and a newly designed soft, paddle-front grip.
The putter's loft is four degrees and its lie 70 degrees. It is offered in lengths of 33-36 inches, and carries a suggested retail price of $124.99.
