About Zen RDE Technology.

Recent technological advances in golf ball design offer significant improvements for the golfer wanting greater distance, control and accuracy in ball flight. While the increase in surface hardness is highly desirable for the tee shot, the resulting reduction in compression dictate the dimples now impart greater adverse dispersion at impact for putts on the green.

British engineer Dr Norman Lindsay and independent evaluation lead by Professor Stephen Haake at the University of Sheffield, has proven that “dimple error” can cause perfectly stroked and aligned putts to deviate by 2 degrees which on fast greens equates to deviation of more than the width of the hole from only 5 feet. The new patented technology uses a face profile created from precise milled micro ridges that reduce the surface contact with the ball and consequently the adverse effect of the golf ball dimples.

While existing face grooves provide 8% reduction, the new Zen RDE (Reduced Dimple Error) provides correction in excess of 50%. This results in putts that stay online, roll true and a have feel that is both soft and responsive coming off of the face for maximum confidence and control.

Since adopted the Zen “RDE” technology and Zen Oracle “Direct Feedback” training, Stuart Appleby has advanced his putting status from 165th to 10th on the US PGA Tour statistics and won twice in 2006.

Design Concept
The design concept is simple. There is a golf ball sized aperture inside the mallet. This gives the player a visual aid, but primarily the aperture is for placing a ball inside for rolling drills.

Training Drills
With a ball inside the aperture, you can work on drills and get a better feel for actually “rolling” the ball instead of striking it.

Drill 1 is to simply have a ball in the aperture and work on your pendulum stroke. With the ball inside you bring the club back and forth like practice putts before your actual shot. You could use a line on the ball or use a chalk line on the green to work on rolling the ball back and forth on the correct path.

Drill 2 would be actually rolling putts to the hole from the aperture. After doing drill one for a while, then release the putter head all the way which allows the ball in the aperture to roll toward the hole. This is a great drill for getting the feel and line of “rolling” a ball to the hole.

Drill 2A could be a drill to insure your backstroke is straight, if you are a “straight back, straight through” putter. Line up with a hole or target in line BEHIND your putter and take the putter back far enough to roll the ball backwards from the aperture.

Drill 3 would combine striking a ball with rolling the ball from the aperture. Getting both balls to the hole is pretty hard. When you do get them both to the hole, you know your speed on the 1st ball is right.
