Title: Gateway Voodoo (putter) = not PDGA approved
Post by: dana on March 18, 2009, 12:03:59 PM
Just a heads up.....

Apparently ol' David Mac never sent it in for approval.

He sent it in with all tech standards, he just never sent in the cash to have it approved.

I think that whole thing was a marketing strategy.  The Voodoo got so much free advertisement by being discovered to be unapproved.  Right now he has a free big ad on the PDGA home page.  Dave is clever.

if a putter works for you, kinda silly to refuse to use it just because it wasn't PDGA approved right away.  I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far.  I drained a lot more putts than I expected at the club challenge.

I just never bought into the idea of a putter where if you stick a pin into the right part of it another guy in your group either misses a putt or screams in pain.  I don't go for that kind of gamesmanship.  ::)

It's much better to let the other guy miss his putt and cry out in anguish all on his own.  :D

Speaking of marketing strategies, has anyone noticed that the newest marketing strategy from Innova and Discraft is to re-label all mid-ranges as either drivers or putters?  The Dart and Zone are now putters.  The Impact is now a driver.

lots of people like the feel of the Dart - only a few were not too happy with it.  My star boss' sold out in a hurry.

So if you go to Oswego this weekend (and I think you are), I have 20 R-Pro Dart (all max weight), 20 R-Pro Aviar (all max weight), and 35 total Star Boss (from 167-175 I believe) all on order.  They arrive tomorrow!
