BRAND STORY

Why Reinvent the Golf Putter? Because Once You Discover a Better Way, You Can't Unsee It.

As your technique evolves, so should your equipment. Our interchangeable Convex putter is the only one on the market that delivers limitless versatility, allowing golfers the option to change the face, style, weight, and balance of their putter. Our putting system is designed to evolve with each golfer's individual technique and style.

Also, the convex face design eliminates face angle error; effectively increases the putter's sweet spot by spreading it over a larger surface area; equalizes energy transfer to the golf ball on off-center strikes; provides a smoother launch; minimizes the skidding phase of the ball's roll; helps the ball transition more quickly to a pure roll; reduces the effect of irregularities on the green; promotes a truer, smoother roll towards the target.

FOUNDER  |  PRESIDENT

PATRICK FAHY

IIn 2023, Patrick Fahy founded Convex Golf, carrying forward his family’s legacy of innovation in golf putter technology. Partnering with Ben Greenberg, a gifted aerospace engineer, Patrick helped develop revolutionary interchangeable convex-face putters — a groundbreaking advancement in a game that has seen little true evolution in putter design for decades.

Patrick’s passion for golf began early, shaped by countless hours working and playing at his hometown course. Though the game remained a lifelong love, his path first led him into service with the U.S. Coast Guard, where he learned discipline, precision, adaptability, and problem-solving under pressure — skills that proved invaluable both at sea and throughout his career.

For more than 30 years, Patrick applied those qualities in a distinguished career in technology, engineering, and leadership with General Electric Aerospace, the Department of Defense, the National Weather Service, and the Department of Justice. Each role deepened his resilience, perseverance, and technical expertise, laying the foundation for the innovations he would later bring to golf.

After retiring from Federal service, Patrick returned to the game with renewed purpose. Inspired by his father — a proud U.S. Navy Veteran, brilliant General Electric Aerospace Engineer, and the original inventor of the pioneering Curv convex putter — he set out to modernize and reintroduce this visionary design for today’s golfers. His dedication to honoring his father’s legacy, combined with a forward-looking spirit and commitment to excellence, continues to drive Convex Golf’s mission to revolutionize the game.

The GE Connection

While Arthur Knight, Karsten Solheim, and Bill Fahy never worked together or even knew each other, they share a common foundation—each was an engineer employed by General Electric (GE) before making groundbreaking contributions to golf equipment design.

Engineering Meets Golf Innovation

The engineering culture at GE fostered a mindset of innovation, precision, and problem-solving, principles they later applied to revolutionizing putter technology. Knight, Solheim, and Fahy combined their technical expertise with a passion for golf, reshaping putter design in ways that continue to influence the game today:

  • Arthur Knight (1900) introduced advanced materials and design techniques, influencing the evolution of modern club construction.
  • Karsten Solheim (1959) pioneered perimeter weighting, leading to the creation of PING putters, which improved forgiveness and consistency.
  • Bill Fahy (1992) developed convex putter face technology, a revolutionary concept that optimizes ball roll and enhances precision—a vision that later inspired his son, Patrick Fahy (2023), to carry on his legacy by modernizing and reintroducing convex technology for today’s golfers.

Their collective innovations continue to shape the game, providing golfers with cutting-edge equipment that enhances performance and accuracy. Their legacy stands as a testament to the power of engineering and innovation in advancing the sport of golf.
