Boston, Massachusetts – Axis 1 Golf founder and CEO Luis Pedraza has announced the introduction of golf’s first perfectly balanced putter- the Axis 1 Eagle.
Innovative club designers have understood for decades that traditional designs left putters poorly balanced and prone to twisting in the golfer’s hand, making it difficult to maintain the perfect pendulum swing required to hit straight putts. Now, with the emergence of new materials and techniques – including the latest versions of Computer Aided Design software technology – experienced and innovative designer Luis Pedraza has realized the goal – the Axis 1 Eagle, the golf industry’s first perfectly balanced putter. The Axis 1 Eagle is a revolutionary patented innovation destined to change the landscape of contemporary putter designs.
The Eagle’s design shifts the heel weight forward of the striking face and places the center of gravity of the putter exactly in line with the axis of the shaft and right on the sweet spot of the club. The result is the only putter to be both shaft and face balanced. This unique combination promotes a true pendulum swing that eliminates the torque inherent in the major brand putters, which all have a tendency to rotate open throughout the putting stroke.
After four years of development, including successful patent application and USGA approval, Axis 1 Golf introduced the new Eagle officially at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando in January 2009. The results were impressive. Gary Van Sickle of Sports Illustrated described the Axis 1 Eagle as “the club of the week – the most exciting club I’ve found” and MyGolfSpy gave the Eagle “The Most Innovative Putter Design of 2009” award. Another early reviewer – Charley Coppola, product editor of Golf Today Magazine – said “after 16 years of reviewing all golf products, namely putters in this instance, I can honestly say that the Axis 1 is the first putter to live up to its claims 100%.”
Axis 1 Golf was founded in 2006 by Luis Pedraza, an internationally acclaimed designer with 25 patents in medical and scientific instrumentation, computer equipment, and consumer products – including sporting goods. He designed Spaceball, the 3D computer mouse that was used to control the Mars Rover.
