HARVEST, Ala. (May 11, 2009) – Balance-Certified Golf, inventor of the number one shaft weighting system on Tour, received word from the USGA recently that their latest innovative Adjustable Moment Of Inertia Technology (AMT) called the “AMT Shaft StabilizerTM” conforms to USGA’s rules of golf. The new AMT technology can be easily adjusted by the customer for course conditions and desired ball flight characteristics. Two versions of the AMT Shaft StabilizerTM are currently available, one for putters and one for full swing clubs. Both versions can be expertly fitted by Balance-Certified’s existing network of master fitters or, the customer can purchase a kit that includes the AMT Shaft StabilizerTM and installation tools.
In full swing clubs, the AMT Shaft StabilizerTM can be adjusted to enhance a fade or draw. Or, it can be adjusted to reduce a slice or hook. It is quickly adjusted by simply releasing the sliding weight locking screws and moving the weights to the desired position. In putters, the AMT Shaft StabilizerTM can dramatically affect swing timing and rhythm by creating a lighter or heavier head weight feel. Positioning the weights far apart enhances swing repeatability in both full swing clubs as well as putters.
Jeff Lindner, Balance Certified’s President, noted that the “AMT Shaft StabilizerTM is a natural extension of our existing patented technologies. In a nutshell, the AMT Shaft StabilizerTM increases MOI of the butt end of any golf club by as much as 6327 g-cm2. The improved MOI increases controllability of the club, generating great improvement in shot consistency and repeatability. However, we specifically designed this new technology to be easy to fit and adjust. It fits in nearly all manufacturers’ shafts and is very customer friendly due to its functional and simple to adjust design.”
John Cranston, Balance-Certified VP added, “We are excited about this new AMT technology because it can dramatically improve a player’s game. I see it nearly every time I fit a high or low handicapper or a PGA Tour pro. The bottom line is that this AMT technology can provide the final level of ultimate club fitting by allowing the fitter or the customer to tune his club to his specific swing characteristics or even course conditions. For our professional club fitters, the AMT Shaft StabilizerTM will help them to build their reputations and, more importantly, generate repeat customers that return to their fitting centers time after time to receive the very latest technological advantage. The bottom line is that the adjustable AMT Shaft StabilizerTM results in improved swing consistency which equates to more ball strikes with the club head’s sweet spot.”
Balance-Certified Golf’s industry-leading shaft-weighting technology was developed by a former NASA engineering team. Their technology introduces strategically-located weights that can be used to adjust a golf club’s vibration and response characteristics and can be installed on any brand of golf equipment and any club in the bag. Balance-Certified’s scientific approach to golf club dynamics helps transform “feel” into a definable and tunable parameter. Independent testing has demonstrated that the Balance-Certified Golf system delivers increased ball speed in drivers, greater iron play control and a tangible benefit in “feel” and distance control of putters.
Balance-Certified Golf’s AMT Shaft StabilizerTM weighting system can be installed by club fitters or by individual golfers with the self-fit kit. Balance-Certified Golf systems can be found at many retail golf shops across the U.S. and elsewhere.
