The Newton Golf Gravity Drac putter is a high-class fang style model with the unique pendulum benefits of ULBP balance.
One of five models in the Gravity putters series along with the Classic, Duece, Duke and Prism, the Drac mallet catches the eye in terms of design but also for the technology and benefits on the greens.
The Drac features Newton Golf’s patented Ultra Low Balance Point (ULBP) with a center of gravity as low and close to the ball as possible and pendulum accelerating putting stroke it produces.
The high-MOI putter stands out for its distinct blend of heavy-feeling head, extremely lightweight graphite shaft and light grip, providing a unique and stable putting experience.

Newton Gravity Drac Putter Design & Specs
The Gravity Drac combines the most recognizable elements of the high-MOI “fang” mallet models from other brands – most notably Odyssey’s #7 – with Newton’s distinctive approach to weighting and feel.
The Drac has a 6061 aluminum head that is precision-milled, with a sleek black finish and striking crimson fangs – and also boasts a signature red sight dot behind the ball for distraction-free alignment.
The Drac’s Ultra Low Balance Point is the key technology and creates a natural pendulum-like stroke for better tempo and significantly improved long putt control.
The ULBP technology features a carbon-based Tempo shaft and lightweight grip, which combine to produce the “pendulum” effect from a putter that feels hefty in the head yet almost weightless during the stroke.
The putter incorporates 100 grams of tungsten in the heel and toe and has the highest MOI of any of the Newton putters, delivering exceptional stability and forgiveness on mishits.
The Drac is adaptable to various putting styles with center shaft (face-balanced), flow neck (toe hang) and plumber’s neck (moderate toe hang) available as well as three grip shapes.

Newton Golf Gravity Drac Putter Review: Are they any good?
The Newton Drac putter appeals to plenty of golfers thanks to the classic fang-style mallet shape – and the performance backs up the looks and style.
The Ultra Low Balance Point technology – with a heavy head paired with a super-light graphite shaft and grip – creates a distinct feel and encourages a smooth, pendulum-like stroke.
It delivers on the promise with a real natural pendulum on the putting greens. That might not be for everyone as it is a unique feeling, but we were more than impressed.
The Drac is also very forgiving and the feel off the putter head and is one the best high-MOI models we’ve tested. Well worth a look if it is your budget range.
