Pixels reduce energy loss on
impact, improve feel
In a Pixl club face, the energy loss
associated with a mis-hit does not occur. Energy is
retained within each pixel, where most of it is then
transmitted back to the ball at impact.
As a result, mis-hits have a more solid
feel and travel further due to an increase in the amount
of energy transferred back to the ball.
In a conventional club face, much of the
energy resulting from a mis-hit travels throughout the
club and is lost. Many club makers disguise this vibration
energy by dampening in the face or shaft.
Bringing Game Improvement Features
to the Club Face
On a center hit in the "sweet
spot" of the club face, maximum energy is transferred
from the club head to the ball at the moment of impact,
resulting in maximum distance and a solid feel.
In contrast, on a miss-hit with a
conventional club, energy is lost through club head
twisting and vibration. The result is a shorter
shot--often as much as 10% shorter--and a harsher feel as
the impact energy is lost.
Why Club Dampening is Inefficient
Previous club designs have focused on
dampening the vibration of miss-hits. While this may feel
better to the hands, the net result is a loss of energy
and a shorter shot.
On a miss-hit with a conventional club,
energy is lost through vibrations which travel up through
the shaft. That's why a bad shot feels bad.
Pixels reduce the energy loss at impact
associated with vibrations by re-focusing it and re-using
it. This recycled energy means less vibration in the hands
and more energy to the ball. With a Pixl club face, much
of the energy resulting from a miss-hit remains within the
contacting pixels at impact and is transmitted back to the
ball.
