Todd Kolb -- 3 Time Golf Digest Instructor of the Year and Coach to Major Champions
It’s a problem as old as golf itself…
How can an amateur generate jaw-dropping distance off the tee yet keep the laser-like accuracy needed to avoid blowing up his scorecard?
HINT: The answer is NOT those beachball 460cc club heads.
As you’re about to see…
Over-sized (and over-length) is overrated.
Need proof?
Is oversized overrated?
That may be hard to hear…
But it’s the truth.
And as we all know… after age 45-50 the problem gets worse, not better.
If you don’t have Tour pro clubhead speed and cat-like eye-hand coordination, today’s commercial drivers won’t help you.
Just the opposite.
They exaggerate your mishits and bring MORE trouble into play on every hole.
It’s a lot like gambling…
That one huge “photo op” drive doesn’t make those wild shots into the woods hurt any less…
Especially when you analyze your score.
Two or three solid drives can’t possibly make up for…
Have you ever stopped to calculate just how badly wayward drives crush your scorecard?
But what if those gorgeous “once-in-a-while” drives became your norm?
How would your game improve if every time you strolled into the tee box knowing you’ll split the fairway?
Try this…
Dig out a scorecard from a recent round…
Analyze each hole…
The numbers don’t lie.
And the official stats bear out the truth…
The typical amateur golfer blows up most rounds with driver in hand.
It’s simply not helpful to crush the ball on one hole, only to collapse on the next.
This cliché problem plays out with every amateur…including your buddies.
Amateur golfers trying to use the same unforgiving drivers as PGA Tour professionals.
Can you see the disconnect?
You’re not becoming a worse golfer…
You didn’t suddenly wake up one day and forget all the fundamentals…
You’re simply using the wrong club for your game.
Forget oversized, you need “right-sized”.
But the news isn’t all negative for experienced golfers.
As you’ll see, the answer involves a bit of “design alchemy”.
You already know that technology adds some juice to your drives…
But is it true that only the guys at the most elite levels see any benefit from better technology?
Not any more…
As you’re about to see.
Two Golf Digest superstar engineers teamed up to design a breakthrough club for the serious weekend warrior
This is no easy task.
These guys were up against the big dog companies with big budgets.
They started with a blank slate and one goal
But there’s more…
They also wanted a versatile club amateur golfers can clobber on the fairway…
A club that feels like you teed the ball up again from the fairway and let ‘er rip.
They wanted a club that felt like a rifle shot coming off the face but with the accuracy of a sniper.
But above all, it had to be easy to hit.
The concept was simple, but the execution would prove to be a challenge.
These guys were given carte blanche to throw convention out the window.
And as you’ll see, they succeeded.
There was a lot at stake with this project.
Solving the “amateur golfer’s paradox” could alter the game permanently…
Imagine reigning in the infuriating wild drives associated with today’s oversized drivers…
Imagine experiencing the perfect balance of jaw-dropping distance, laser-like accuracy, all with consistency you dream about…
The “Highest Goal” of golf club design has always been to blend driver-like distance with the ease and confidence golfers love about their fairway woods.
The engineering team even gave their project an underground name…
“FC”
Why?
This was short for “fusion club”.
This reflected their mission…
Is this the perfect fusion club?
To fuse or blend together the best traits of:
All with what one team member called “radical reliability and eye-popping power”.
It wasn’t enough to have one or two of these traits…
They wanted it all.
Something so dynamic it makes oversized drivers obsolete.
So…
Is it possible to blend the best of all worlds?
They dove into the testing to find out…
They took nothing for granted…
The list goes on and on.
Endless calculations…
Any change to one trait required every remaining factor to be revised again and again…
Lead engineer Josh Boggs is very familiar with this process…
As a repeat winner of the Golf Digest “Hot List” Award, he appreciated the implications of even the tiniest change.
He’s also a former Nike engineer who worked on Tiger’s drivers…
No one understands the needs for today’s amateur players better than Josh.
And it was that last factor on the above list that Josh focused on:
Clubface materials
The surface had to be explosive.
Like 44 magnum explosive…
The reality is, you’re getting older and slower and golf is getting harder every year.
And versatile enough to be used off the tee or the fairway.
There was another consideration…
Every bit of power an older golfer generates is crucial.
Every bit of energy MUST be transferred into the ball or the engineering team was wasting their time…
This meant the sweet spot had to be almost impossible to miss…
More than once, Josh and the team asked themselves if they were chasing rainbows and unicorns…
They bounded ideas off each other for hours…
Staying late into the night,
Sensing they were a whisker away from a breakthrough…
They architected concept after concept
Then cast them aside when flaws appeared
But their enthusiasm never waned…
Their excitement to find a solution is what got them out of bed in the morning
But the journey was a bumpy one…
Even for these seasoned experts.
They felt like every time they thought they conquered one problem, five more grew in its place…
Like climbing a mountain…
Reaching a hand over the crest…
Expecting to claim victory…
Only to look up and see a vast range of mountains extend to the horizon.
But even in their darkest moments of frustration admitting defeat and giving in to the corporate giants was never an option.
Solving one of the oldest challenges in the game was too important.
They fought through the trash heap of failures…
There were times they wanted to give up…
Hours of testing and tweaking turned into weeks and months…
All the engineering in the world couldn’t make up for the wrong choice here…
But finally…
After almost pulling his hair out, 420 stainless steel was selected as the ideal material…
Why 420 hardened steel?
Once hardened, 420 stainless steel has a tensile strength nearly 3 times that of other versions.
It was specifically chosen to optimize strength and hardness.
420 Hardened Steel - 12% Chromium Face
With the distance to match.
Sure, it defied convention…
But there was another reason…
“It brings the heat off the face” as Josh likes to say.
I'm talking asphalt on July 4th kinda heat…
The best part?
You don’t have to swing like an angry gorilla to bomb it out there.
As it turned out, 420 stainless was the correct call.
This newly engineered face came out super hot.
During testing...
No easy task…
The result?
A club unlike anything else on the market.
The perfect fusion of driver and fairway wood design…
Something even the giant names in the golf equipment industry were too scared to even try.
You can think of it as a “mini-driver” juiced up on steroids.
The team shipped the prototype to Fort Worth, Texas for testing out at Josh's ranch.
Away from prying eyes.
He ran out to greet the delivery truck and unwrapped it on the spot.
His portable tee box and a bucket full of balls were already set up and waiting…
The club felt balanced and smooth in his hands.
Then came that first swing…
“Good lord! Did you hear that?” he said to his buddy.
Josh stepped back and watched the ball flight…
The smooth controlled draw finally came to rest in the dead center of the range.
He hit another…
and then another…
His buddy stood there and shook his head.
A little stunned by what he was seeing.
“My friend, I know you’re good, but you ain’t that good.”
Josh had taken about 15-20 swings and not a single ball landed more than 5-6 yards offline.
And they were bombs…
After just a few swings, he was flying the ball past his usual driver landing area by at least 20 yards.
Some of his best drives nearly blew through the landing area at the edge of his property…
The trajectory was ideal!
And it was as easy to hit as his 5-wood…
There was something else that shocked him…
Zero balls went out of play.
None.
That’s right ZERO.
Even the ones he knew he hit off the toe or the heel.
“This is going to change things,” he said as he finished up…
Josh and his team succeeded in designing the longest and most accurate club from tee to fairway!
Throwing out the “old-school” mentality paid off better than anyone dreamed
Imagine what this means to the weekend golfer:
And that’s how this breakthrough club was born!
You can’t call it a driver
You can’t categorize it as a fairway wood
The reality is…
It defines a new category…
A category with new rules…
And new expectations.
Payloads of power!
Expect equal or better distance than your current driver
You might ask, “If the distance is going to be the same as my current driver, why would I want to try the Colt Sprinter?”
Good question.
Because it’s easier to hit dead center with a smaller face.
And you know what that feels like…
This means that, on average, you can expect to see anywhere from a 15-yard to 30-yard improvement
The oversized drivers in use today spread the force of impact across a wider area.
That never happens with the smaller clubface.
But it gets better…
The reality is, if you already split the fairway off the tee every time, you wouldn’t be reading this right now.
But your driver alternates back and forth between being your best friend or your worst enemy.
Sure, you’ll nail your drive every once in a while, but in your head, you know you can’t count on that distance being there every time.
That’s because no other club in your bag is more inconsistent.
No club blows up more rounds or makes you more miserable than your driver!
Or kills your enjoyment of the game quicker.
With the Colt Sprinter, you can expect to get some sideways glances when you blow past your buddies best drives… without using a conventional driver
And with a penetrating ball flight that’s a straight as an arrow.
It’s as if you ran down the fairway and placed the ball in the ideal location.
Ask yourself this…
How much would it improve your game when you’re reaching for a wedge or 9 iron for your approach shot instead of your usual 5 or 6 iron?
Expect your mis-hits to hurt less
This means when you do it the ball offline, you won’t be trudging through the woods to track it down.
This club is specifically designed to forgive mishits.
Now drives that used to disappear into a hazard now stay in play.
They simply won’t drift nearly as far offline as a poorly hit driver.
Not even close.
This alone will chop strokes off your score and allow you to reach into your buddy’s wallet regularly.
Expect to be stuffing short irons into par 4’s
When you start blowing it past your buddies, suddenly you’ll be the talk of the clubhouse…
It’s all because of the unmatched power of the 420 steel allowing the ball to leap off the clubface.
The higher carbon content of 420 stainless produces a remarkable hardness that transfers greater energy from the clubhead into the ball.
Imaging hitting 7, 8, and 9 irons into greens–not long irons or hybrids
This translates to more GIR, more birdie bids, and noticeably lower scores.
Expect to make your golf buddies cry and take more of their money
Don’t fall for the myth that getting older means getting worse.
It’s simply not true.
Look at everything we just mentioned:
This all translates into lower scores and lower handicaps.
This means moving from a 20+ handicap into the teens…
Moving from the high teens to the low teens…
Or even from the teens into single digits…
Expect some hurt feelings
What’s the automatic result when a guy you’ve been playing with for years starts hitting the ball further and landing it wherever he likes?
A bit of envy…
A few comments about hitting the gym more…
“What got into you?”
“Where’s that come from?”
Expect scores to change…
And some egos to be put in check.
Specs & Details
Fast.
The Tour pro-level 8 or 9-degree drivers won’t do that for you. With the 13० loft, you don’t have to worry about swinging up on the ball to get it airborne.
This elevation is even more vital from the fairway…
No more forcing it.
Now you can let the club do the work and just focus on your natural swing.
The smaller 420 steel clubhead size has several distinct advantages:
1) It’s much easier to hit the sweet spot…which covers a larger percentage of the clubface
2) The power generated from your swing is more directly transferred to the ball, even at lower clubhead speeds
3) The fairway wood features of the clubface eliminate the embarrassing banana slices and duck hooks produced by mis-hits…no matter what lie you’re faced with.
A: Short answer…yes.
This club is explosive and long enough to match or exceed your current driver’s best distance, yet it has the trajectory and pinpoint accuracy you expect from your fairway wood.
Remember, this is a “fusion club.”
Blending everything you LOVE about your driver but eliminating the wild drivers that destroy your round.
It’s disrupting the driver market and overwhelming even the best fairway woods.
The big four manufacturers that dominate 75% of the driver market have convinced amateur golfers that oversized drivers are the only choice.
The Colt Sprinter throws this outdated concept out the window.
A: Like a dream.
Imagine you’re staring down a par 5 and you’re over 250 yards out.
You’re not going to pull a Bubba Watson…
There’s no way you’re hitting your traditional driver off the deck.
Don’t you wish you had a club that was long enough to get you close?
Now you do.
Your 3 wood can’t do it.
But the Colt Sprinter was designed with this scenario in mind.
With this incredibly versatile club in your bag, you’ll have to confidence to go for shots like this more often…
Even when you need to clear trouble…
Knowing you’ll stay on target and long every time.
When you have a wedge in hand instead of a 7 iron for your approach, you’ve stepped up to a different level of play.
This means more “birdies or better”...
The shallow-faced design lets you make crisp clean contact from even the tightest lies.
While your 3 wood starts gathering dust.
A: If you slice the ball off the tee so often your buddies have come to expect it, the Colt Sprinter is for you.
Those embarrassing duck hooks and out-of-control slices have been “engineered” out of this club.
Why?
The combination of a center of gravity and small head size make hitting the sweet spot incredibly easy.
Even off-center mishits track back online.
This is the exact opposite of what happens with today’s drivers…
The oversized heads you see everywhere exaggerate every off-center drive.
This is why oversized is overrated!
A: If your clubhead speed is under 100 mph…
If your average driving distance is below 250+ yards…
If you struggle with accuracy off the tee more often than not…
Josh Boggs and his team designed the Colt Sprinter with you in mind.
A: Yes. Even with all its breakthrough innovations, the Colt Sprinter is 100% legal.
The benefits don’t stop at club innovation…
The Colt Sprinter’s ground-breaking design addresses the mental game as much as it does the physical design.
You can’t swing with confidence if you’re worried about needing a Mulligan, losing another ball in the woods, or hearing the ribbing from the guys because you’re playing “army golf”!
Left…
Right…
Left…
The Colt Sprinter gives you that confidence.
There’s a slowly growing trend in the golf industry…
Experienced older players and weekend warriors are moving away from erratic oversized drivers and towards innovation such as the Colt Sprinter.
“But drivers today are supposed to look a certain way…”
“Aren’t fairway woods and hybrids are supposed to look the same?”
That limited mindset is killing the improvement for amateur golfers everywhere!
No more.
Everything we’ve discussed so far begs the question…
You don’t get Brownie points by making the game tougher than it needs to be…
The Colt Sprinter makes the game you love easier.
Period.
How confident are we in the new Colt Sprinter?
Here’s our challenge:
Go to your favorite course…
Put a mental marker out there of where you currently hit your driver…
Do the same thing for every driving hole…
Feel the pop off the Colt Sprinter’s white-hot clubhead…
Watch the ball sail down the dead middle of the fairway 20 plus yards past your “long-hitting” buddy…
And if you don’t hit the amazing Colt Sprinter closer to your target line and as far or farther than your driver, then simply send the club back and we’ll refund every penny!
And we’ll back that promise for a full 60 days.
That’s long enough to play a dozen rounds.
Hit the range as often as you like…
Put the Colt Sprinter through the paces…
If you’re not convinced this club isn’t straighter and longer than any other club in your bag, then simply return it for a full refund.
It’s that simple.
Sound fair?
I hope you’ll agree it is.
Go ahead and accept this challenge.
You have nothing to lose…
And everything to gain.
(Including that quick 20 you’ll yank from your buddy’s wallet!)
All the risk is on us…as it should be.
Fair enough?
Picture this scenario:
It’s the first tee at your club or favorite course.
The usual foursome has gathered…
The other guys do their usual…
One guy slices into the rough under the trees…
It's time to take your buddy's money!
Your other buddy has to tee it up for a Mulligan after pulling it way left…
One hits the fairway with so-so distance.
Then you’re up.
But instead of your oversized driver, you pull out the Colt Sprinter.
You get some funny looks.
Someone comments, “Keeping the driver in the bag I see…”
A few other derogatory comments about “no confidence” follow…
Then you crush the ball down the middle of the fairway.
Well past your “usual” landing area…
The perfect rollout takes it 25 yards past your buddy who USED to be the big hitter in the group….
You hold your “photo-op” position a second or so longer than necessary, grab your tee, and casually walk away.
Get the breakthrough Colt Sprinter into your bag right away.
Reclaim the distance and explosive power you thought was long gone.
When you bomb it out 15, 20, 25, or even 30 yards past your usual drive, you’ll start schooling the young guys who wrote you off as “too old to hit long”...
We’ve solved the age-old “amateur golfer’s paradox”...
The Colt Sprinter produces the eye-popping distance of a driver with the game-changing precision and trajectory of a 3-wood”.
