The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe Hog Putter, in its original 1994 form, came from Dogleg Right built around what golfsw.com describes as a totally oversized design. According to golfsw.com, the putter first appeared with its most radical-looking shaft configuration, a one-inch non-tapered aluminum shaft, and the publication reports it was launched at the January 1995 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando.
The oversized head was reportedly a deliberate answer to a mechanical problem: golfsw.com credits the design with solving shaft strain that came from the head's unusual size, a pairing that let the club carry its bulk without the shaft giving out under it. Golfsw.com's own assessment of the result was positive, calling it more stable and much more consistent in terms of distance control.
As the entry point for the Hog line, this original 1994 release set the terms that later versions would be measured against, the oversized head and the non-tapered aluminum shaft standing as its defining, if unconventional, pairing.
