“Just Hit It” A New Book written by Frank Thomas
In “Just Hit It,” Frank Thomas shares his views on equipment, marketing and returning the game to its core values. As technical director for the USGA for 26 years, Frank literally wrote the rules that govern much of the game. In “Just Hit It,” Thomas separates the blather of advertising claims from the nuggets of truth in clear, concise language. He explains how golf equipment works, describing which features matter and which ones don’t, providing the most thoughtful overview of the subject ever written. He debunks common misperceptions and demonstrates that what’s newest and latest may not be any better than what you already own.
“Reading this book is like engaging Frank in a discussion, with the words, ideas and passion flowing freely,” said 18-time major championship-winner Jack Nicklaus. “There are few people I know more knowledgeable about the technical aspects of the game of golf, and very few more passionate about the need for integrity and vision in all aspects of the game.”

OverSpin Putters by Tadd Moore

The OverSpin design gives you the advantage of a true and consistent roll, a softer feel and great balance. Traditional putters can cause the ball to skid or hop a few inches or more producing inconsistent results. Overspin’s design produces immediate topspin using the 2/5 factor on the ball to produce a straight and true roll with every putt! The result is a putter that starts the ball rolling faster, straighter and offers unparalleled feel.
The OverSpin putter is designed so the point of impact where the putter meets the ball just above center, effortlessly producing “an instant roll, eliminating skidding.”
In general, a putt is more susceptible to stray off-target during the skid, while a rolling putt will hold its intended line and improve the chances of going in the hole, additionally, because the ball comes off the face straighter and with more forward roll it is easier to control distance, one of the leading factors in three-putting.
MSRP for OverSpin Answer model is $145, Mallet Model is $160. Also available in Belly-Putters and Left handed models. To purchase online visit www.totalgolfmarketing.com
