Over the last 12 years, Todd Sones has worked with many tour players.  The experience of working with and watching many members of all the various tours has taught Todd that the best players have equipment that fits them.  As it relates to the score, the putter is the most valuable club in the bag.  Many golfers have heavily invested themselves with the time and the finances to get to the green, but sell themselves short once on the green.  For time and money spent, there is no greater value than having a putter that fits and allows the player to develop fundamentals that will enable them to putt their best.

About Todd Sones
