Hireko Prophet Putter
August 30, 2007
Hireko’s Prophet Putter’s deep face-to-back shape, along with fixed weights in the heel and toe, are designed to help offer a high moment of intertia, stabilizing the putting stroke. It’s also got a milled aluminum insert to provide a better feel with the modern ultra-soft urethane covered golf balls.
his unique design pushes weight to the limit. The dual fixed weights in the heel and toe portions of the putter, coupled with a very broad design from face-to-back helps stabilize putts, resulting into less strokes on the green. The milled aluminum insert provides a more solid feel with today’s ultra-soft urethane covered golf balls.
I like the look.
As with all Hireko clubs, this one comes with a money back guarantee.

Take one look at the type of equipment available these days and you are forced to think whether the skill quotient is fading away from the game. The amount of research that goes into trying to develop a new club is mind boggling and the result is for all to see. It is almost like having to play in the auto pilot mode. You just let the club do the talking!
In the first half of the 20th century when the “Benny” Putter was first manufactured it was considered “revolutionary” for the kind of handgrip it provided. Compare that with some of the putters that are produced these days and you wonder whether we are still talking about the same sport! Now factors like Moment of Inertia are taken into account while manufacturing putters.
When the Scots started playing this game a few centuries back they carved their own clubs from wood! I am not sure if they ever had an inkling that sometime in the future the need for improved performance on the golf course and better hitting would spawn such a huge Industry for making better (understating the point!) golf clubs and balls.
