Recently putters with blinkers or alignment aids as they are typically called have become very popular. The blinker not only acts as an alignment tool but also adds weight and stability helping smooth out the putting stroke and increasing the putters MOI substantially. This new blinker is a two piece blinker that in its prototype form adds nearly 90g of weight to a head. The design may remind people of the old Gauge Design Eldik series which was a wonderful design that inspired this new blinker. Think of it as an improvement or evolution of what was already a very good blinker. (note Sasaya-san was a chief designer at Gauge during the Eldik days).

The end product should add around 60g to the putter as backweighting but that may still be heavy so it's still quite an experiment.

One look at that GF stealth putter and I'm converted to the blink blink.

To make the head more balanced and not too heavy, Sasaya has experimented with removing weight from the head. He's now got a prototype that is around 350g by removing weight from the blinker and sole of the putter.

Wow cool stuff, I also hear he is working on an aluminum version.

Sasaya-san has added a G Mark on the sole and blasted the head. He's getting ready to put it together and finish it then away to full testing.

i have two eldiks, An m and an old school. this one is defintely up my alley!

Here's another test prototype Sasaya-san has made. Looks awesome!

Looks wise, I like this one better. I would think the two would each have a very different feel

because of where the weight is removed from. I think.... it would be better to remove the weight from the center than from the heel and toe.

Dang, I would love to roll both of these... Sasaya need an official "tester" here in the states??
