We want you to put the best equipment in your bag at the best price you can get. Part of our job is to find the equipment world’s hidden gems. In a field of 28, a putter almost no one had heard of finished #2 overall. We’re not sure we completely understand it either, but our test results suggest it actually works. On the contrary, this can create a “competition” between the line detectors that will lead to different degrees of (so called) optical illusions, as shown in the illustrations below (front and perspective views).” However, the more line detectors that are stimulated will not automatically lead to a better line judgment. When several groups of detectors are activated, these help the brain to make correct judgments. A simple line, for example, activates a group of detectors. The brain consists of 100,000 line detectors that are divided into a number of groups that help us decide what is straight. “An alignment system that acts upon multiple line detectors is a key to obtain veridical motion perception and a perfect in-line stroke surface. It’s based on 20 years of research from a PhD Graduate Professor based on the field of visual perception. MLA claims its technology actually speaks directly to your brain. It’s an alignment aid that could revolutionize the way you putt. Test results posted by the MLA Tour Classicputter don’t happen every day, so we wanted to dig a little deeper to see why the unheralded MLA performed so well. What we found is a secret weapon of sorts. Last summer, we tested 28 putters, and to our surprise a putter almost no one had heard of almost beat the most accurate putter of all-time. A well-conceived alignment aid – one that works for you – can improve your putting…instantly. Case in point, the alignment aid on PING’s now famous Ketsch putter. One of them is that alignment aids on putters absolutely make a HUGE difference. We’ve learned a lot through putter testing over the last several years. While it’s safe to say that MLA Putters didn’t have the most trafficked booth on the show floor (I don’t have hard data, but I suggest that award goes to Callaway), we did observe plenty of showgoers crowding its space to find out more about what MLA claims is its difference maker. In fact, there really isn’t any hype at all. You might even call it BS.Īt this year’s PGA Show we were reminded of one of those products where performance far exceeds the hype.

Unfortunately, for every technology or product that actually works, we find hundreds, maybe even thousands that offer a little bit of paint and lot of marketing hype. And most of all we believe in real-world results – the kind of things that actually lead to lower scores. That spot is usually reserved for feel, sound, and even looks.Īt MGS we’re all about performance. We believe in data, we believe in technology. That sounds obvious enough, but we know that lower scores aren’t always at the top of every golfer’s list. What is the single most important thing you look for in a putter?
