THOUSAND PALMS, CA - The biggest debate surrounding the belly putter is whether it offers an unfair advantage. If it does, why not use it? For many golfers, the reluctance is price. Belly putters aren't cheap.

"At PowerBilt, we're all about helping golfers enjoy the game by improving their skills with quality equipment at affordable prices," says PowerBilt President Ross Kvinge. "That's why we're offering several belly and long putters at less than $100 - substantially less."

Because of the recent success of long putters on the PGA Tour, the interest in them by recreational golfers has surged. "This is the year the average golfer wants to give the belly putter a whirl," says Kvinge. "And we're proving that you can get the right putter, at the right length, at the right price to see if it's right for you."

PowerBilt's new ONE PUTT belly putters come in two styles - blade and mallet - featuring an optimally weighted 415-gram head made of stainless steel. Shaft lengths are available in 40", 41", 42" and 43" and have a 21" one-piece compound grip. In addition, PowerBilt is offering the ONE PUTT model with shafts uncut, which allows pro shops and retailers to custom-fit golfers to their exact specifications.

"Getting the shaft length right is a key in getting the most out of a belly putter," says Kvinge, "which is why we're offering numerous lengths, plus the option to custom fit utilizing our exclusive telescoping system." PowerBilt has developed a unique, patent-pending belly putter fitting system that uses a telescoping shaft. This allows for a perfect fit for shaft lengths ranging from 38" to 50."

While the starting price on most high-end belly putters is more than $100, the new PowerBilt ONE PUTT retails for $89.99. "You won't find better quality at a better price, especially coming from a great brand like PowerBilt," says Kvinge.

PowerBilt also makes the EX200MA-300, which is a mallet-style putter that comes as a standard-length putter, a belly putter and a broomstick long putter. The standard-length model is available in 33", 34" and 35" lengths. The belly version comes in 40", 41", 42" and 43" lengths. And the broomstick model is 48" and 50".

In addition to being a great performing putter, the EX200/MA-330 is a great value, with the standard length model selling for $59.99 while the belly and broomstick models sell for $79.99.

"The best way to shave strokes off your game is to improve your putting," states Kvinge. "At PoweBilt, we're giving all golfers the opportunity to try various techniques to see what works best for their game. And we're doing it with the best in technology at a price that doesn't break the bank."
