New Patent Granted! – Next Ping Anser?

New Putter Patent From Dick Delacruz (DGDgolf.com)

A new patent was granted the other day to our man Dick Delacruz from DGDgolf.com…we actually gave one of these putters away to a MyGolfSpy reader back in October. The patent is for what the guys at DGDgolf are calling “Sweet Slot” technology. It is another clever idea from Delacruz…and the putter in person is amazing!

What Is The “Sweet Slot”?

One of many reasons the Ping Anser became famous was because the noise it made when people putted with it…the famous P-I-N-G-G-G-G-G. I am sure you are familiar so I wont go into too much detail but this sound was created by a slot cut into the bottom of the putter creating a “tuning” effect when the ball struck the face. And has since been replicated by almost every major putter manufacturer.

Well…DeLaCruz in our opinion has made the first true improvement on the technology since its inception. They call it the “Sweet Slot” instead of Ping’s “Sound Slot” which makes perfect since after you putt with one of the DeLaCruz masterpieces.

Sweet Sound Of A Well Struck Putt!

Much like a musical instrument..when a wrong chord or string is struck you get a different sound then when the correct chord is strung. That is the principle behind these sleek and innovative putter designs…strike it too high, too low, too much too the left, or right and you will get a different sound then when struck on the sweet spot. The sound of the putter tells you exactly what you are doing wrong.
