If you go back to our bicycle analogies....when you hold a bicycle wheel in your hands, by each end of its axle, in a perpendicular position, and spin the wheel, the spinning wheel acts like a gyroscope. The wheel becomes difficult to manipulate away from that rotational axis because of the centrifugal forces imparted by the spinning wheel. That energy, or momentum, makes it very difficult to tilt the spinning wheel off that vertical axis, while the wheel spins quickly.
But a putting stroke does not involve anywhere near such energy, or momentum, as a spinning bicycle wheel. And certainly, I would think, not enough in and of itself to prevent one from manipulating the club face, or to overcome the power of a grip, or to return it to square in the execution of a poor putting stroke.
Again, not saying this is not a good putter. I just remain skeptical of the sales pitch and its claims.
I think It would be interesting to hear what a mechanical engineer has to say about this.
