C-Groove (general line)

The C-Groove line carries the name of its defining feature: a C-shaped groove milled into the face, a design forum.tourspecgolf.com attributes to designer Harold Swash, and reports as the subject of a patent covering the groove itself rather than the putter shapes it appears on. That same source describes the maker's earlier identity as Pro Gear, with most models running as numbered PG putters before a name change to Yes Golf followed the 2001 Open win, and the line's putters being renamed accordingly. Individual C-Groove models are said to carry girls' names, with forum.tourspecgolf.com pointing to the Yes Tracy as named for Retief Goosen's wife, Tracy, though the specific putter Goosen used to win that Open is reported as having been an exception to the numbered naming scheme.

On quality, the same forum source places the C-Groove putters in the company of Ping and Odyssey, and lists a price of $140 USD. Community opinion on forum.tourspecgolf.com is favorable without qualification: the putters are called awesome, praised for putting a great roll on the ball, for looking great, and for having a very nice looking metal. Nothing here separates one C-Groove model from another in terms of performance, so where the line sits relative to itself is largely a matter of which of its many named heads a reader is looking at.
