Arsenal Roll Putter
Last summer, when I was playing “Up North,” I was paired up with a guy who was putting with what looked like a piece of pipe on a shaft. And the thing was, he putted pretty well. But I was concentrating too much on my own game to think too much about it.
But just recently, I came across this Arsenal Roller Putter while surfing the web. And I’m convinced that’s what he was using.
It’s an interesting design. Its supposed to put overspin on the putts and get the ball rolling quicker than traditional faced putters, with reduced skidding and hopping.
Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of putter designs that are designed to get rid of the initial hops (yes, the ball hops for a split second after it impacts most putter faces). The Aserta is another one of those designs that I’ve written about.

Not so much the hop - the hop is due to loft and is designed to get the ball out of the little crater in which it sits - but the backspin.
The C-Grooves on the Olivia (or any from Yes!) are supposed to help impart more immediate topspin. But it still has loft, too.

The putter is designed to get the ball rolling as soon as possible. This is done by putting overspin on the ball.
