Craig Hocknull launched the Saber Hawk and Saber Cat putters at the 100th PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, MO. Craig's story spread across the globe and landed him a book deal. "I didn't set out to write a cool story but it appears that my trials and tribulations have been a motivation and influence to people all over the world so I'm happy to create a book / training system to help golfers achieve their true potential." - Craig Hocknull
