In developing its Pixl Golf putter, Beta Group devised pixel technology, which focuses on the clubface dynamics to enable a more uniform response regardless of impact location. Clubs are comprised of independent precision components called pixels. Because they are not connected, according to the company, energy is prevented from traveling out of the impact zone, resulting in less energy loss on off-center hits. To put it in simple terms, off-center strokes with pixel clubs still deliver a solid feel and more accurate performance. While this may feel better to the hands, the net result is a loss of energy and a shorter shot.
Pixels reduce the energy loss at impact.
Pixel materials may vary in weight and feel. Pixels can be made from traditional steel, from titanium, and from polymers. The pixels are round or hexagonal. The L1.8 putter has a slightly wider sole, shorter length from heel to toe and a more pronounced bend at the hosel. The S1.8 has a narrower sole, longer head from heel to toe, and straighter hosel.
