Nike Method Core Concept Putter

You probably haven’t seen anything that looks like the new Nike Method Core Concept putter. It's hard to tell which is more eye-catching, the unique D-shaped head or the red aluminum face.   David Franklin, a research-and-development designer for Nike Golf, says that the goal for the Method Core Concept was to create a putter that acts like a large, forgiving, high-MOI model, but comes in a smaller package.   To accomplish that goal, Nike started by giving the Concept the same polymetal groove insert that is in other Method Core putters. The tiny grooves, set inside a polymer insert, are designed to grab the ball at impact and get it rolling faster.

That front section, which contributes only one-third of the putter's weight, is permanently affixed to a heavy steel ring using two non-adjustable screws. The black ring portion of the Concept contributes two-thirds of its weight.   “What that does is give you a very deep center of gravity in relation to the size,” Franklin says.   According to Nike, the advantage of having a putter with a deep center of gravity is increased stability, which gets the ball turning over more quickly and encourages golfers to swing through putts instead of decelerating.   Only a handful of putters have ever been released in red. The color should stand out in sharp contrast against the green, so Nike hopes that consumers will be open-minded and like the unique look.   The Method Core Concept should start to arrive in pro shops in early February for about $199.
