Accomplishments
A patent-pending putter face that compensates for off-center hits.
One of David's most recent accomplishments is creating a new unprecedented putter which provides absolute compensation for off-center hits through the development and implementation of the most obvious overlooked approach.
This is done without creating the bulky, odd-looking putter that most companies are releasing to reach the zero torque equivalence. Sadly, since the putter head is so different than what most golfers are used to using, it can create a very ackward affect with a lot of golfers.
"Top Ten Most Innovative and Benefifical Products" in the Golf Industry Award
David created an at home putter fitting system that received the Top Twn Most Innovative and Benficial Products in the golf industry award.
Back before cell phone technology had high-quality cameras with high-speed video capabilities and high-speed internet connections, David reated an at home putter fitting system that allowed individuals to record their putting stroke using a standard video recorder and either mail in their video or upload it and email it.
The golfer then received a full detail description of their appropriate putting stroke along with their recommended loft and lie.
Introduced the concept of membership-based Satellite internet Golf Instructions.
Back in the day when dial-up internet connections were still popular and High-Speed internet, cable, or fiber optics, David presented a satellite-based internet broadcast to a member's only golf community.
Classic Golf Magazine and United Airlines
David negotiated an agreement with United Airlines to create and launch his own Golf magazine that United Airlines would place onboard 146,000 flights per issue along with their Red Carpet Club, making it the 3rd largest read Golf Magazine in country with it's very first issue.
Unfortunately, the terrorist attack of September 11, 2021 put the airline industry into an immediate downward spin and advertisers were hesitant about the future. The magazine was then placed in a hold cycle.
8 Camera High-Speed Visual Motion Analysis System
``David released the first custom putter analysis system available to the public. The system provided a high-speed recording from up to 8 cameras simultaneously from 8 different camera positions that providing an unprecedented visual feedback for both the golfer and instructor.. The standard at the time was one video camera being moved to different positions to capture different swing angles. David realized the problem was each camera video recording was of a different swing, and since it is biomechanically rare to have two swings exactly the same, it was not providing accurate visual feedback. The system was available for use for both putting and full swing.
The system received great recognition when it was released from a National PGA Teacher of the Year, the Director of the American Sports Medicine Institute, Universerty Hall of Fame Golf Instructors and more.
Consulted for a famous Hockey Grip Style Putter
David was called upon by the founders of a company that wanted to create a hocky putter grip style putter. They were looking for advice and direction on how to best create and launch their new hockey stick grip style putter. David immediately noticed they intended to use a cast putter with a hosel and explained the hosel would crack if pressure was applied to bend it to create the necessary angle.
After some research, David ordered some components for product testing, David realized by using a center shafted hoselless putter with a triple bend shaft it would create the perfect angle for the hockey stick grip putting style they were after.
