The Medicus OverSpin™ Performance Putter Line is Medicus’ first introduction in high performance golf equipment and one that has been long in the making. Medicus®, the largest golf improvement company in the world, has been manufacturing the most widely used and praised golf training products for the past 20 years; all of which have been designed through years of research and development based around the true science of the swing. Taking this technology Medicus® is now moving into the area of performance equipment. Utilizing the science that has made them successful in helping golfers improve at the game can now be used to help them perform “in the game” even better.
The OverSpin Putter Line incorporates a specific face “Cut Angle” designed to strike the ball at precisely the right point to create immediate foreword spin (over-spin) on the ball, virtually eliminating the skidding effect, and sending the ball on a direct target line to the hole producing real “Tue Roll” performance.
This exclusive Cut Angle design also adds an amazing benefit that sets this putter in its own unique class. Unlike other putters that use a convention face design, the OverSpin Cut Angle technology offers golfers the ability to make those difficult approach shots with ease, including those hard to judge shots from the fringe and just outside the fringe in the rough grass. The Cut Angle Face Design actually cuts through higher grass, pushing the blades down and under the clubface as it slides through the rough or skims along deep fringes eliminating excessive drag and allowing a clean strike on the ball. Created over-spin then drives the ball on a direct target line helping achieve a safer and closer approach to the hole without the need for special approach clubs and wedges.
“The Medicus Foundation was established through Medicus to raise funds for causes where the need is the greatest…..Our goal is to support other fundraising organizations in their efforts and help them make a difference” said Tracy Lehnecker, VP of Medicus® Golf and Public Relations Coordinator for the Medicus Foundation. ”
The Medicus Foundation supports charity organizations through yearly fundraising events, individual donations, and specific product promotions associated with targeted products sold by Medicus.
