Current Viable Solutions (Obstacles)

I like the idea of a hill that you

have to hit the ball so it goes up

and down.

This one has many different kinds

of hills and jumps that we could

incorporate for our designs

I like this loop, because it’s

practical because the ball won’t just

fall when it get to the top.

All of the obstacles are very

exciting, because of their

originality. I especially like the

windmill and moving ramp.

Current Viable Solutions (Putters)

I like the idea of a jump that could

have to go to another platform.

I like the swirly hole. It is an

uncommon design that is slightly

difficult to get past.

I like all of the bright colors. They

are visually appealing and make the

product appear more exciting

These putters have more geometry

and look more interesting.

This one is ambidextrous and it

also had a center line allowing the

person who is putting to see if

they’re lining the shot up correctly.
