Dave Pelz 3-Ball Putter - Banned by USGA for Non-Conforming
Offered here is the first model of Dave Pelz's 3-Ball putter. Very few prototypes of this model exist and the USGA banned these early models for non-conforming to the golf rule that states a putter face's length from heel to toe should be greater than the length from face to the back. Pelz's theory behind these putters was that naturally the eye tends to focus on aiming the ball, and not the putter. Adding the balls to the putter made a natural progression for the eye to follow. Pelz is a golf instructor whose 10 students have combined to win 20 Major titles. The putter measures 35" from heel to end.
