First came moveable weight technology for metal woods. Next came interchangeable shafts for metal woods and irons. In March YES! Golf will introduce two putters with an interchangeable screw-in hosel system that it says will allow golfers to custom fit their putters based on personal preference of the look and style of the hosel. The interchangeable hosel putters are YES! Golf’s blade-style Tracy III Plus putter and mallet-style Lizzy Plus putter.
"By combining C-Groove technology and the interchangeable hosel technology you have the most advance putter in the industry," said Francis Ricci, president of YES! Golf. "The concept was developed in direct response to requests from our tour players. Putters are such a personal preference for golfers and by giving them hosel options, golfers can truly customize their putter and maximize their results by selecting the look and style of the putter that best suits them."
Ricci said the Tracy III has a single sight alignment line in the cavity of the putter head. It also has a loft of 2.5 degrees (two degrees flat or upright available) and lie of 72 degrees with length options of 32-37 inches.
The Lizzy Plus, Ricci said, has the look of a blade with an extended cavity to create a mallet design and feel. It features a single sight alignment in the back cavity. The putter has a loft of 2.5 degrees with length options of 32-37 inches.
The Tracy III Plus and Lizzy Plus each will be available March 15 and will carry a suggested retail price of $360.
The plumber neck hosel is standard in the Tracy III Plus and the Lizzy Plus. Three other hosel options are sold separately - slant neck, z-bend and pronounced heel-toe hang. The suggested retail for each hosel option is $100.
Each hosel option, Ricci said, comes with a shaft, hosel and grip. To change the hosel you loosen the current hosel on the bottom of the putter head with a torque wrench, which is provided, and fasten the new hosel in the putter head.
