Japanese way of life golf model Designer has unveiled a brand new 3D printed titanium golf membership head, manufactured utilizing Farsoon’s FS200M steel 3D printing system.
Using 3D printing know-how has allowed Designer ‘the chance to innovate, design and produce top-of-the-line membership heads’. Within the improvement of the product, the corporate was eager to fulfill the necessities of golfers in search of ‘final efficiency in distance, accuracy and stability with better forgiveness.’
