MacGregor The Fat Lady Swings Putter
The Fat Lady Swings Putter puts a solid roll on every putt. There's no better indication of this than the fact that in its first two months in play on Tour, it set two course records.
The low-profile, sleek, rounded head is 100% milled from aircraft grade aluminum. It's both lightweight and solid, which allows for the deployment of 195 grams of strategically placed weighting in the heel, toe and rear. This triangulated weighting design creates a high resistance to twisting, which is why the clubhead is so stable, even on off-center hits. Three engraved sight lines balanced alongside two perfectly straight cavity edges make alignment certain. The flush-milled, annealed beryllium copper face insert offers strength yet sensitivity for that magical combination of feel and feedback.
You won't come up short with this putter - the hole is over when The Fat Lady Swings.
60-61 Aircraft-Grade Aluminum
Precise light form for superior stability.
The MacGregor The Fat Lady Swings Putter is 100% milled from a solid block of bar stock, extruded 60-61 aluminum (extruding, like forging, creates an incredibly dense metal ? imagine an entire roll of aluminum foil compressed to the size of a golf ball). Because the metal is so pure, it can sustain the innovative head shapes that Bobby Grace designs, all of which permit the use of dense metal weight for high MOIs (resistance to twisting) and greater stability.
The lightweight nature of 60-61 aircraft-grade aluminum also permits innovative engineering for the MacGregor The Fat Lady Swings Putter via the use of backweight that extends up for a higher center of gravity and extends in narrower form toward the face to act as a ?battering ram÷ to create a tight, solid roll on the ball.
Really, the logic of using 60-61 aluminum isn?t hard to follow: If it?s strong enough to handle turbulence at 30,000 feet, it?s strong enough to handle nerves.
Mallet Styling
Stepped back. Easy alignment.
The low-profile, sleek, rounded-head design of The Fat Lady Swings is as beautiful to stand over as it is to behold. The double-bend, slightly offset shaft promotes hands ahead at address, while the engraved dual-sight lines make alignment certain. Additionally, the unique step design provides a subtle perpendicular reinforcement to square the face to the target line. With this putter, putting straight is like drawing lines on graph paper.
Strategically Placed Weighting
Less twisting and straighter putts.
The dispersion of force among three points provides maximum stability, because wherever the force is applied, the nearest point will always have two other points supporting it. This principle of triangulation is achieved in Bobby Grace putters by a lightweight frame with dense mixed material weight inserts, which provide maximum resistance to twisting (high ?MOI÷). Two adjustable weights, one each in the heel and toe, are complemented by a third weight in the extreme rear. Together they stabilize the putter head through impact, much like a tripod steadies a camera.
Bobby Grace takes this design a step further. Milling holes in the side of the body of the MacGregor The Fat Lady Swings putter allows even more weight to be added to the rear, promoting an early roll on the ball and an MOI that reaches as high as 7500 - more than double the MOI of other ?alignment÷ putters. The roll on off-center hits is staggeringly pure.
Adjustable Heel/Toe Weighting
Precise weights. Precision putting.
Bobby Grace pioneered adjustable heel/toe weighting (a technology others have been quick to copy, but slow to equal). Whether you alternate between slower and faster greens, want to adjust your shaft length without changing swing weight, or just need a change of feel every once in a while, you can use the adjustable weight system to dial in the pace and keep your stroke confident. The M-Series Weight Kit has heavier nickel-tungsten and tungsten weights, and lighter aluminum weights to complement the standard copper-tungsten weights.
Beryllium Copper Face Insert
Strong yet sensitive metal.
In the world of golf club manufacturing, beryllium copper is a precious metal. It costs 6 to 7 times more than face inserts found in most putters (polymer, aluminum, standard copper), but the way it responds to MacGregor's complex annealing process makes it worth every standard copper penny. The strength and sensitivity of annealed beryllium copper face insert is magical. You get the satisfying ?click÷ of harder beryllium, combined with a face that?s seven points softer than carbon steel.
Bobby Grace pioneered the use of forged annealed BeCU face inserts, and his ability to flush mill them into the body of his putters at incredible tolerances (.001") is unparalleled. This attention to using the absolutely best available materials explains why Bobby Grace putters have won 22 Tour events worldwide and earned over $38 million on Tour over the last two years, without MacGregor paying any professionals to use them. The BeCU may cost a bit more, but Bobby Grace putters are worth every cent.
Flush-Milled Face Insert
Perfectly flat face. Dead-eye accuracy.
A putt that's a fraction of an inch off line can be the difference between a birdie and a bogey. The BeCu insert in the face of the M-Series is milled flush to within tolerances of 1/16th of a human hair. When you make contact with the ball, it's headed exactly where you hit it. Putting demands precision, but it also rewards it.
