Acer CB3 Putter - Clubhead:Meticulously designed using the latest CAD software, the concept was to reverse engineered the putter shape. After a recent rules change by the USGA, the putter face no longer needs to be greater than the front-to-back dimension. Even higher handicapped golfers do not strike the ball very far from the center of the putter�s face by a great amount. By reducing the material used in the face and redistributing the weight in the rear corners, the result is a putter that will greatly reduce twisting over a conventional shaped design. Even though the face measures 68mm (2 2/3�), it is more than ample length not to appear intimidating at address. Just like the head of a hammer is not much larger than the head of a nail, by placing more weight away from the striking surface creates an extremely balanced putter.

The head is precision cast from stainless steel and features a soft, black aluminum insert. Requires a curved putter shaft that will result into a face balanced finished product.

Conforms with USGA Rules.

Comments about Hireko P169:Acer CB3 Putter - Clubhead:

I built the CB3 with the long putter adapter and the 53" Apollo putter shaft. I cut it to a finished length of 48". Capped it off with the Karma 2 piece grip.At first it just looked way too different and I could not stand to look at it. Well, off to [...] and I purchased a can of primer and White appliance paint... Ghosted it. Took it to the course and WOW what a fantastic putter.Easy to align is an understatement, it really is point and shoot. Now all I have to worry about is pace. Hireko should really offer this putter head in a white finish. It really makes the putter.

 
Awsome Putter
By ZackVerified Reviewer from Laurel, MT on 1/18/2011
Pros:
Accurate, Great Feel

Comments about Hireko P169:Acer CB3 Putter - Clubhead:

Built it as a 46" long putter with about an ounce of lead down the shaft. What a fantastic putter! Short putts are so much less nerve racking than before. I used one of the broomstick putter adapters and it made the job super easy.

Comments about Hireko P169:Acer CB3 Putter - Clubhead:

The head weighs 405g as shipped. That's heavy enough to call for some counterbalance under the grip. I used about 110g. I really like the result. I am making more 5-10ft putts now, and lagging almost everything close. Since my second round with the CB3, the ONLY reason for a second putt over 2ft has been misreads of line or speed; the ball goes where I aim the putt with remarkable reliability.

Here are a few points I want to compliment on this putter head:
(1) The feel is nice and smooth, neutral. It has a nice little "ping" sound at impact.
(2) The long central spine is a wonderful aiming device. I am much more confident in the line because of it.
(3) Unlike most deep, weighted-corner, high-MOI putter heads, this one lets you scoop the ball as you would with a cavity-back "blade" putter. (But you use the side as a scoop, not the back.)

Bottom line: it has replaced my favorite putter of long standing, at least for the last 8 rounds. In fact, I lent my old favorite putter to a friend during last week's long outing and never missed it.

Comments about Hireko P169:Acer CB3 Putter - Clubhead:

I recently bought a CB3 putter head. I experimented by adding tungsten powder mixed with epoxy into the cavities in rear wings to bring the weight to about 400 grams. I also added 250 grams of lead in the shaft under the grip. After a few practice sessions,the results are fantastic . I would recommend this set-up to anyone. I think you would be pleasantly suprized.
