*THE CREATION OF THE PUTTING ARC * - The Putting Arc started in the
inquisitive mind of VJ Trolio, a young teaching pro at Old Waverly Golf
Club. In the winter of 2002 VJ noticed that if the putter is swung
perfectly "on-plane" along an inclined plane, that the putter head
appeared to move on a curved path, when viewed from overhead.

When Dave Hamilton was asked what kind of curve this was, he said he did not
know but he would ask someone who might know. After one day of study,
Joey Hamilton came back with the interesting fact that this curve was a
very specific segment of an ellipse, and the formula for this ellipse
was first calculated by Appolonius of Perga over 2000 years ago in 200
BC. The patent for the Putting Arc is based on this formula and the
actual product design, which was done by Dave Hamilton.

The Putting Arc would not have been possible without the combined efforts of these
individuals, and all three of them have their name on the Putting Arc patent.
