S7K Putter Review
|
|
The SK7 putter is a standalone putter than can help golfers gain immediate feedback over how their putter is resting on the ground. Players may not know this but raising the toe off the surface of the ground (more upright) can actually cause the golf ball to travel further left – for the right handed golfer.
Putters that are toe down (flatter) can send the golf ball to the right – right handed golfer again- without them meaning for it to. Both of these issues can be solved with having a putter that is the correct lie angle for your stroke and the SK7 putter may very well teach you this automatically.

Key Features
The SK7’s stand-alone balance allows golfers to read their putts with the putter already in position.
The SK7’s ability to almost set itself up can help golfers level out their lie angles and start the golf ball down a particular line.
The SK7 can stand by itself even on slopped lies where other self-balanced putters fail.
Design and Technology
The Sk7 putter features an extremely low balance point to allow it to stand by itself. It is crafted from 431 stainless steel for an enhanced feel and look. Both the free-standing address and triple line path help golfers align their putts more effectively and putt with more confidence.

PROS
- The SK7 free-standing feature does allow for golfers to get a better idea of where their club face is pointed from a new angle.
- The ability to gain real-time feedback with the balanced lie angle of the SK7 can be valuable to almost every golfer.
- The bold alignment lines of the SK7 may help some golfers with their path control.
CONS
- The SK7 putter has a pronounced sound and feel that golfers may not fall in love with immediately.
- The inability to get the SK7 adjusted and custom fit will be a non-starter for many players.
- Golfers interested in the SK7 will have a limited ability to test it before buying it in Pro Shops and Retail golf stores.
Our Experience
The SK7 is a very unique product. Because the low balance point is in such an extreme place, it takes some getting used to. The free-standing feature is great if you struggle to line up your putts, but I believe golfers will benefit most from the instant feedback of the lie angle.
Knowing that your putter is level can help you hit better putts and ultimately that is going to lead to many more golf balls going into the hole more often.

Conclusion
The S7K putter offers some unique features at an affordable price point. For $179, you get a putter that can stand on its own, allowing you to easily check your alignment before taking your stance. This can be beneficial for some golfers, but it's important to consider the potential impact on pace of play and the need to adjust your concept of accurate aim.
The putter also has an unusual weighting, with a very light shaft and grip, which may take some time to get used to. The onset design, where the putter face is in front of the shaft, provides a toe hang that feels more like a typical Anser putter.
