Nickent's new putter features, the company claims, the "easiest alignment putting system ever designed." Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

The Nickent Pipe Putter incorporates what appears to be a pipe - it's actually just a cylinder pipe shape - on the top of the clubhead, extending rearward from the clubface as an aligment aid. Unlike most alignment aids, many of which are simply straight lines or flat disks, the Pipe Putter's alignment aid is a three-dimensional object. And that, Nickent says, makes a huge difference.

The Pipe Putter also usese its pipe to move weight around the clubhead. A heavy plug in the rear of the pipe section accounts for 15-percent of the weight of the putter, while the overall construction of the putter is a light polymer centerpiece surrounded by heavier steel. This combination allows for distribution of weight to the heel, the toe and rear of the clubhead, producing a high moment of inertia and a low center of gravity.

That's the mixture that every putter manufacturer strives for, since it helps golfers who have a tendency to make contact a little toward the heel or toe. It also helps get the ball rolling smoothly.

The Nickent Pipe also features a "P-Line" face insert, an ultra-lightweight insert made from a proprietary polymer composite. In addition to reducing backspin, the insert allows additional distribution of weight to the heel and toe.
