Another machine framing hole in one

The MiniTec frame supports the rotating mechanism that grips the putter and is adjusted to simulate a straight swing, guiding the golf ball on a flat level surface. Two putts of around 20-feet were recorded. The first putt was set up to strike the ball centrally on the sweet spot of the putter but the second shot adjusted by a quarter ball into the toe – an apparently common and realistic off-centre mishit. The results - distance shortfall, out-of-line offset - reveal the forgiveness factor after some number crunching. For aficionados of the game, the mallets performed better – but the adjudicators of the test did qualify that whilst every effort was made to ensure accuracy, more precise results would be obtained by longer term testing.

Whilst the application for the putting robot is very simple for the numerous capabilities of MiniTec’s Profile System, Zen Putting Mechanics’s chose the Basingstoke based manufacturer based upon its experience with supply logistics and service for its incredibly successful Green Stage artificial putting platform. Green Stage is now widely exported from Zen’s Sheffield base and with MiniTec’s world-wide manufacturing, sales and distribution facilities, Zen are able to obtain the aluminium profile from local sources in-or-near the customer’s export country - cut to size and with all the interconnection components supplied as a complete kit – simplifying supply and saving on costly shipping.
