I wanted to let you know that I have been playing my EAS 5.0 putter for a few months now. I was fit by Frankie Bianco in Pawleys Island, SC and have seen my putting stats improve drastically.  My 3 putts have been reduced by 85% (still have the stupid 3 putt) and my 1 putts have increased.  I have much more confidence with the putter because I feel my aim is better.  My misses are much closer to the hole than before when I used my Ping putter.  Now when I get to the green, I determine the speed and adjust the head weight accordingly so that my putts only run by a few feet leaving me 2 or 3 footers as comebacks. My golfing buddies looked skeptically at first at the putter, especially because of the reversed hosel, now they are  not.  I was very impressed with the fitting process as ‘no stone was left unturned’ by Frankie. He did a very good job. I have recommended the putter and the fitting but my friends balk at the price. That’s okay because that leaves me with the upper hand! This is a great putter and I look forward to making many more putts with it.

"Thanks Frankie. That putter has been the difference. I appreciate you."

It's been about a year since I fit Stan for his Edel Putter.  I need to congratulate him on winning the 64th SCGA Senior Championship @ Orangeburg CC.

 My wife and I selected the Myrtle Beach Golf Academy venue and opted for the three-day, 1:2 package. We received 4 hours of hands-on instruction, and a one-hour "working lunch" lunch with our Golf Pro, Frankie Bianco, each day. This proved to be the perfect amount of instruction and feedback for us. The first day was largely spent re-building my swing and introducing both of us to drills designed to produce more fundamentally sound golf swings. Day two emphasis was weighted toward the short game and more drills to improve technique. Day three instruction focused heavily on "managing the club-face" and using the knowledge we had accumulated to progress from a half swing-to-full swing shot. A few comments about our instructor, Frankie. We will book again with him the next time we need a lesson. He is a subject matter expert and straight shooter. He showed up on time every day, ready to go to work. Frankie doesn't waste time and he won't allow a student to continually hit poor shots without taking time out to address the underlying problem. Frankie furnished dozens of videos for my wife and I to review and reinforce what we need to do to continue to improve. Thanks to Frankie, my ball-striking is much more consistent, I've added 10 yards more distance to my irons and I no longer fear sand traps. My wife's game is also improving, notably her distance off the tee and on longer approach shots.

 If you are serious about golf and want to lower your scores I can not recommend the EDEL putter fitting enough. Frankie does a excellent job of not only the fitting process but a thorough explanation of understanding "why" the equipment is best suited for you. I learned and understood so much about not only why I was missing putts but that a properly fitted putter can give you such a advantage that I was lacking. From grip to hand placement to alignment everybody is different and Frankie fine tunes and 'builds" a putter to your individual body stance and grip. I have now gained the confidence that I was lacking prior to the fitting and anyone who plays knows confidence in standing over a putt is vital in consistently making putts . I can GUARENTEE after going through the EDEL fitting process with Frankie you will make more putts and never buy a putter off the rack again.

 On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best) Frankie was a 20. He's the only person I've ever met that exceeded my passion and work ethics for his craft.  Every morning Frankie was at the range and ready to go and spent the entire time teaching and filming our sessions and there were no interruptions. He understood what issues I had and spent hours working with me to correct them. HE LISTENED TO ME. He used body posture and arm and hip positioning drills over and over and over which was exactly what I wanted and needed. He described to me how to make or where to purchase the equipment we used in the drills so I can continue to do the drills at home. In the end I walked away from the week long session completely fulfilled. There was zero time spent not talking about the golf swing which is what I was hoping for but rarely find in an instructor. What I learned far exceeded my expectations. Frankie is the best and is an A+++++ in my book. Now I have to bring what I learned to the golf course. 

 A PGA Class “A” Professional and Certified LA Golf, Makefield, and Edel Master Fitter, Frankie has been teaching golf since 2002. Frankie mentored under a host of well-known teachers, including Gary Gilchrist and Hank Haney, while working as an instructor at the Golf Academy at The Sea Pines Resort. He has also served as either Head Professional or Director of Instruction at numerous facilities, including a six-year stint at Crossgates Country Club in Millersville, Pa., where he ran his own golf school, junior programs and corporate outings. Frankie exudes an infectious love and knowledge of golf which helps his students achieve their goals.  Frankie is excited to offer world class golf instruction along with an expertise in club fitting.  Frankie has been a Master Fitter for LA Golf, Makefield, and Edel Golf for the past 7 years. 

When you can't find Frankie on the golf course you will find him spending time at the beach with his wife and three children. They enjoy traveling to new places across America.  Frankie is particularly found of the Smoky Mountains and Dollywood.  He enjoys coaching and caddying for his oldest son, Roman, in junior matches throughout the Grand Strand and surrounding area.  In 2021 his son made it to the second round qualifier of the Drive, Chip and Putt event.  Frankie also enjoys fishing with his youngest son, Pierce, and watching his daughter, Gabby, play volleyball.  In a rare moment when Frankie and his wife, Cecilia, have free time together they enjoy hitting up the golf course for 9 holes (of course he taught his wife to play:)
