The putting problem:
Yes Golf Putters with C-Groove technology: Testing shows that for any golf ball, the strike of a conventional heel-toe weighted putter results in skipping, whilst a blade putter causes the ball to skid across the putting surface and an insert putter causes hopping and bouncing. Only after these initial effects of the impact does the ball begin to actually roll across the surface. The problem is that the skidding and sliding caused by the impact of the putter can result in even a well struck putt, which set off on the correct line, missing the hole. Even a putt which holds its line can come up short due to the energy lost through skidding and hopping in the first few feet of its journey. It is when the ball begins to roll end over end that its movement is at its most stable, and least susceptible to deflections.
The solution:
The key, then, to reducing energy loss and the ball’s susceptibility to deflections is in reducing skidding and sliding after impact and promoting true roll immediately the putt is struck. Yes! Golf’s C-groove putter technology, developed by master putter and teacher Harold Swash, is a patented system designed to reduce skidding and sliding, and promote forward roll immediately a putt is struck, enabling putts to hold their line and pace. The simple but precise concentric C-shaped grooves cut into the putter’s face improve grip on the ball at impact, and exert forces which lift the ball from its resting position and impart a rolling motion.
The performance:
The range of Yes! C-Groove putters create stability in the rolling motion dramatically sooner than any other putter. Forward rolling motion is as much as 6 times greater with the use of the Yes! C-Groove putter versus other putters.
This result has been proved using a computer controlled putting robot and high-speed cameras. C-Groove putters underwent independent testing against several putter models from major manufacturers over a 20 foot putt. In all cases, the C-Groove putter dramatically outperformed the competition.

Whether struck dead center, a millimeter or even a quarter inch off center, the C-Groove putter rolls the ball sooner, with more consistent length and direction. This performance translates to more putts made, no matter the circumstance, no matter the pressure.

This C Groove technology has been proven in thousands of comparison tests performed by professional and amateur golfers at over 75 PGA Tour Events worldwide and at major trade shows in the U.S. and Europe. This substantial reduction of skidding which, no matter the user or their skill level, produces a very perceptible difference in the roll of the putt which travels more smoothly and for longer with a Yes putter than a conventional one.
The designer:
Europe's endearing and renowned "Putting Doctor", Harold Swash, has dedicated his life to studying the science of putting, engineering putters, and teaching the likes of Padraig Harrington, Paul Azinger, Lee Westwood, Darren Clark, Nick Faldo, Bernhard Langer, and Seve Ballesteros. In his quest to eliminate or minimize skidding, and side-turning, Harold developed the first C-Groove putter prototype in the late 1990's. The result is a beautifully designed putter that incorporates concentric grooves cut at specific angles to the putter face, and a technology that is changing the face of putting.
The independent support:
Testing has been performed to compare consistency of distance and line for balls struck with identical force numerous times on a 50 ft. putt. These tests substantiated the fact that the C-Groove putter,due to its truer roll, was more consistent in distance, and line. By hitting the ball on different points on each putter face, the same test also proved that the C-Groove putter had the least variance in direction, even on off centered hits.
In 2002 The Yes! Golf C-Groove putter was ranked number 1 among 60 of golf's top putters, by Rankmark, America's premier golf testing company. Rankmark conducted independent testing at country clubs, driving ranges and PGA and LPGA tour events.
