How and why we make the claim that these are the best putters historically made!

Final Analysis - The Incred Putter Report
incred putters perform better in controlled robot testing than many of the best performing putters on the market in terms of consistent ball speed, ball roll and general forgiveness on center and mis-hits.
incred black mallet putters have a significant performance advantage over the lab golf putter models tested. lab putters show an alarming amount of face twist and decrease in ball speed when mis-hit towards the heel of the right-handed putters tested.

Test Protocols
1. Gravity-Driven, Putting Robot
2. Flat artificial indoor green surface (Green Stimp 12)
3. Head Speed 5 MPH (25-foot putt)
4. All putters were tested on Center, Heel and Toe hits (margin ½ inch off center)
5. Sample Size for all individual tests was N=12 putts per test or 36 separate putts per putter

Conclusion
Average face twist on a ½ inch mis-hits showed that INCRED Putters were significantly more forgiving.
This FACE TWIST metric is directly associated with how accurately the putt leaves the face and how efficiently the ball is struck.
Incred putters are far more likely to start on line and at the intended speed.
The less the face twists the better line and speed will result. This is correlated strongly with our next IMPACT RATIO metric.

Conclusion
Impact ratio is a measure of the ratio of the ball speed to the head speed.
The more constant this measure, the more a player will be able to control the pace of their putts.
ncred Putters showed significantly less breakdown in ball speed on miss-hits.
This result is one of the most remarkable statistic associated with the Incred putters vs the competition.
This is a direct measure of FORGIVENESS.

Conclusion
INCRED Putters showed an improvement in the RPM measure of ball roll. Ball roll in RPM is a measure of how well a ball will STAY on its line.
A ball that is rotating on the axis of the line decelerates more predictably and allows a player to predict the rate at which it slows. This predictability is crucial to understanding the relationship of pace and line. The ability of a player to match pace and line will be directly improved with an increase in ball roll.
NOTE: The high Rotational value of the Taylor Made mallet and the Callaway Triple Track was extremely high and skewed the data significantly.
The Incred Black Mallet putters rolled MUCH better on average (77%) than the LAB putters tested on center strikes and showed significantly lower Skid numbers (14%) .

Conclusion
INCRED Putters on an average produce 300% less lateral spin when compared to the best performing putters on the market.
The data beautifully illustrates that heel mounted putters roll better when struck toward the heel as compared to the center (have their sweet spot closer to the heel).
Putts struck toward the toe naturally generate hook spin and putts struck towards the heel naturally produce cut spin.
The less the lateral spin the truer the ball holds its line. Lateral spin would get greatly exaggerated if the green slopes in the same direction as the spin imparted on the ball.
