Saber Golf Putting Improvement System Basics
Here are the basics of why our putting improvement system works so much better than conventional putter fittings / lessons or the traditional trial and error approach.
SIMPLE ANSWER:
Simply put you get the entire experience, training and a perfectly fit putter. Read below what we do to ensure you receive the most complete and highest quality putting improvement system on the market.
HERE IS WHAT YOU DON'T WANT:
1. A putter that doesn't sit flat and aim true.
2. A stroke that wobbles or flinches around on the back or through stroke.
3. Confusion on how to read greens and understand grain.
4. A lack of feel for the green speed or distance control.
If you struggle with one or all of these or you just want to take your putting to the next level, keep learning below!
How I solved the above issues and transformed from a great coach to a world class player and putter after the age of 40.
1) I fit myself for a putter length, lie and weight that cured my yips and helped make my stroke pure and repeatable.
For you I have created my patent pending club fitting system that is done in your own home through video conference and our fitting tools that are shipped to you prior to the fitting / coaching appointment. You may also get fit in person by myself or a Saber Certified Coach.
2) I studied all of the available green reading techniques as well as all of the types of grasses we putt on and discovered that there was very simple but key element that has either been left out or undiscovered.
For you I have created a very simple green reading and practice protocol for fully digesting and understanding what grain is, how it affects the roll of the ball and how determining slope or a zero line is only part of the equation for better green reading.
3) I designed two putter models that have removed all doubt as to whether the putter is soled correctly, swung consistently or produces a pure and consistent roll on all putts across the face within 2 inches of the sweet spot (If you can't hit within 2"'s I'll help you figure that out as well).
What this means is that neither you or I have anything to blame with regard to the design or precision of our putter. If you miss a putt with a Saber Stability Core Putter it's not the putters fault especially if you have been through our extensive fitting process.
4) I have determined through my own trial and error and also backed up through science that their IS a perfect putter weight for each player and no I won't be telling anyone how I figured it out nor will I be patenting it for all to see. (This will be my family secret i.e. Coca Cola recipe or KFC recipe :-)
As you go through the fitting you will be prescribed a putter weight that is ideal for you and no you won't be able to figure out why, you'll just have to trust the prescription. If your like me or my existing students you won't care as long as you are making more putts.

"As a long time tournament professional I was frustrated by the many varying fidgets and manipulations I was forced to make while aiming and setting up to hit a putt with every putter that I tried. I have won many professional tournaments but always felt frustrated that I had to be so exact with my "secret recipe for success". These set-up procedures and mechanical maneuvers worked with a tremendous amount of concentration and training. I was always envious of THE NATURALS and it was this desire to problem solve that drove me to invent (Pat. Pend.) what I believe is the easiest putter design I have ever seen or used." - Craig Hocknull, PGA - Owner - Inventor - Tour Player - Coach

PUTTING PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS
Problem: Why won't my putter sit flat?
Solution: Because it’s not flat! Problem solved, make my putter sole flat!
Problem: Why does my ball bounce and bobble and not roll true?
Solution: Because you are chipping it with the 4 degrees of loft that is on your putter! Why does a putter have loft? No one knows! Problem solved, make my putter face zero loft!
Problem: Why do I miss long and short and struggle with distance control?
Solution: Because your putter face is too shallow and that makes it hard to hit the sweet spot. Problem solved, make my putter face deeper.
Problem: Why do I miss right and left?
Solution: Because the face is open or closed at impact which happens because you are manipulating or guiding the putter. Problem solved, make my putter heads heavier just like so many tour players do!
Problem: Why do my breaking putts not hold there line and miss on the low side?
Solution: Because you are miss hitting your putts in the heal or toe and these miss hits change the ball speed off the face. Problem solved, make the sweet spot bigger by balancing the head with a stability core of brass.
Problem: Why do I sometimes hit my putts through the break and the ball takes off like a rocket?
Solution: Because you are not confident that the energy of the stroke matches the break and speed of the green. Problem solved, make the head weight of the putter and shaft length the perfect combination to match the speed of the green. (My secret fitting formula)
Problem: Why do I take the putter outside on the way back and cut across it?
Solution: Because the shaft length, lie angle and head weight don't match your intention. Problem solved, go through a fitting / lesson with Craig to figure all that out.
Problem: Why do I struggle with my feel?
Solution: Because your putter face may have an insert or a variation of grooves that alter the sound and what studies have shown is sound is feel. Problem solved, precision mill my putter heads out of one block of 6061 aluminum, insert a solid brass stability core and connect both the core and the head to the shaft.
P.S. - PROBLEM SOLVING
THE LAST PUTTER YOU WILL EVER BUY!
Why? Because we guarantee our "Free Flow" fitting and coaching system to work! These 1 of 1 fully customizable zero manipulation putters hit the world stage at the 100th PGA Championship at Bellerieve in St. Louis August 5th, 2018. Precision milled and "Saber Fused" these deep face zero lofted putters are a fusion of super high quality 6061 Aircraft Aluminum and Brass Saber Stability Core. "I designed the Saber Cat Blade and Saber Hawk Mallet putters to solve several distinct putting problems.
ZERO MANIPULATION
FREE FLOW FITTING ELEMENTS
- Stability Core creates a smooth flowing stroke.
- Zero loft produces an accurate and repeatable roll.
- Perfectly flat sole produces a consistent set-up.
- Perfectly flat sole keeps the lie angle consistent.
- Stability Core and zero loft creates a consistent smash factor on all putts.
- Stability Core and deep face reduces miss-hit dispersion.
- Custom "Free Flow Fitting" with heavier than standard weights eliminate the stroke wiggles and manipulations that are the leading cause of yip issues.
- Secret "Flow Fit Fitting" formula helps every golfer set up perfectly for a free flowing putting stroke. Like Coke and KFC Craig’s fitting formula is a family secret and to keep it a secret the formula will never be published or patented.
“Saber Golf Putters with Stability Core Technology are just easier to putt with than any other putter I've ever used and they are more solid and feel amazing. Every golfer who's tried them instantly falls in love with them, some are blade people and some are mallet people. It is very challenging to invent a putter design that has this much science, looks great, feels amazing and solves those dreaded manipulations of aim, lie, loft and stroke smoothness! But after a lifetime of high level competitive golf including the 2018 PGA Championship I’m happy to say that I’ve done it!" - Craig Hocknull, Owner and Inventor at Saber Golf.
