We recap the first ever Sunday Scramble and tee up the next one, coming in April. Dave pitches Heavy Putter like a guy who makes a commission.

GIHTV fans, see our upcoming video about the long-awaited Sunday Scramble. We are giving away 10 Heavy Putters to the first 10 fans that answer three golf trivia questions correctly. We will post the questions next Sunday during the PGA Tour event. If you are not lucky enough to win one of the first 10, you can buy one here for much less than the retail price of $119.99 anytime going forward.
Stay tuned for excitement and very good deals on many more cutting-edge golf products. Following the HP is THE greatest little green repair tool, called Stiletto Green Tool http://www.stilettogreentool.com/ This is a brand new tool to fix ball marks on the green (yes, you should always fix your ball mark, and find another from the idiot before you that did not fix theirs). More to come. Spring is here, go out and play!
In the meantime, check out http://www.heavyputter.com/ to learn more about this great new concept in putters.
Congrats to Camilo on a nice victory and solid play on Sunday. Also, Fran Quinn won on the Nationwide Tour last week, his fourth career win. Keep it rolling Fran, have fun out there!
See ya soon!
I asked Stephen Boccieri to explain swing weight to me, and we ended up getting a great episode out of it… if you’ve ever wondered what swing weights are, this is the Golf is Hard TV episode for you!
Warning: this is pure golf geekery… enjoy.
We continue our series at Boccieri Golf and get to try out the new Heavy Wedge!
First, let us apologize for some fuzzy video towards the middle and end of this video. All we can say is, oops.
More importantly, let’s talk about what it felt like to swing this new club. Fundamentally, both the Heavy Putter and the Heavy Wedge are different than other clubs. By putting a backweight inside the handle, the club is completely balanced differently than what most of us have in our bags today. As I understand it, this radically changes how the club feels and works in your hands.
While I only had time for a few swings, I clearly felt a difference (and yes, it’s possible it was all in my head). My swing felt smoother and I was taking a terrific “divot” on the mat, and hitting the ball a lot more solidly than I was with the Cleveland wedge. That said, until we get this bad boy on the course, we shouldn’t say much more – other than to say we ‘re extremely excited to see if the new Heavy Wedge from Boccieri Golf can help us shave a few strokes off our games.

We spent quality time with Boccieri Golf shooting multiple epsisodes at their world HQ in CT. In this first episode, Marc spends time with Steven Boccieri learning about their classic heavy and mid-weight putters as well as the new lite-weight putter and the all new heavy wedge!
We love talking golf with Steven because to us, he’s the wonderfully mad golf scientist. His depth of knowledge on the science of the golf swing is astounding – if we had only taped the 45 minute chat we had BEFORE we remembered to turn on the cameras! Stay tuned for more with Bocceri including a lesson in swing weights coming soon.
If you missed our earlier episodes with Boccieri from season 1, don’t miss part 1, episode #49 and part 2, episode #50!
