Walnut, CA—–For years it was a pipe dream to think that any putter could finally solve all of your putting woes. But, after many different iterations and two generations of the PIPE putter concept, that pipe dream may now be a reality. Nickent Golf announces the PIPE Dream Putter, the latest breakthrough that continues the momentum of the ever-popular PIPE II line of putters.
The newest version, the PIPE Dream, is a sleek, technology driven putter that is designed to have a super high MOI. The MOI increase was accomplished by adding wings on the side of the club that shifts discretionary weight to the sides and to the back of the head.
“All five models of the PIPE II were such a success and we never dreamed that we could improve them much,” said Nickent master designer and President John Hoeflich. “But sometimes dreams become reality. Once we determined that the only way to improve the PIPE II was to create a putter with a higher MOI, we knew that wings were the only way to achieve that goal.”
The PIPE Dream features Nickent’s patented Alternate Groove Technology face technology. The face insert is milled from anodized 7075 aluminum to create a better softer feel, and features a unique alternating groove design that lifts the ball at impact for a truer roll, which has always been the goal of the PIPE series of putters. The innovative 3D cylinder PIPE, which is the same diameter as the golf ball at 1.68 inches, helps the golfer to line up the ball with much greater percentage of accuracy in terms of directional control.
“We figured out a couple years ago with the first PIPE that alignment is more important than any other factor when putting,” said Hoeflich. “The PIPE Dream stays true to that thinking, but with the new wings raising the MOI as much as they do and the AGT face creating less skid, we have a putter that is aimed straight and rolls straight. All you have to do is get the speed right,” says Hoeflich.
The PIPE Dream will be available in three different head styles (06, 07 and 08) in late July of 2009, and will retail at $149. The Pipe Dream features a 3 degree loft and available in right-hand at 33″, 34″, 35″ and 36″ lengths. Belly and long versions will be available soon.
