    I added a 60gm weight (tour lock) to my versa putter. I don't think it has made any difference to my putting within 6 feet, but has made an enormous difference to my lag putting which was very inconsistent (short then long then short...).

    I just took apart a homemade counterbalance in a Rossa Putter. They used a 100mm long 8mm bolt and some plastic tube of similar diameter. Held in place with via some contact cement. The bolt head was too large for the shaft and required a hole in the top of the grip, so wasn't the tidiest install. The bolt plus plastic tube weighed 45 grams, so on the light side, but the putter had been shortened as well. I didn't think to check the SW before I dismantled it.

    I added a TM Daddy Long Legs grip to my Ghost Spider and added 3 inches to make it 38". Feels great but I don't think the mallet is for me. I like the weight of the mallet but prefer the look of the blade. Might need to add some lead to my TM Rossa blade to get that feel of a heavier head.

    I really liked the super stroke. I Had to change the way i gripped the putter with it however and to be honest..putting is such a personal thing. I think you really do have to work on things privately till you find something that gives you sufficient level of comfort & confidence.

    If you saw Appleby when he shot 59 and beat overton on the PGA tour a wee while ago, thats how i putt with the super stroke. Thumbs together down the spine of the grip with the butt held more vertically in the heel of the palm area.

    Can't say i've seen a lot of people putt like that but it works for me.

    Whatever floats your boat man.

    Default Counter Balanced Putters - Experiences?

    Had a play around with the TM spider si today and quite liked the feel, so I'm thinking about doing this with a bc5 belly putter (395g head) I've got, it's currently at 33", going to extend it out to 36" and try to find a heavy grip.

    Do you think I should add weight under the butt as well? If so, how much should I start with? Obviously it's a feel thing, but I need a start point.

    That's with the scotty cameron belly grip cut down to 17" so I would say it was heavier than a standard, started at 50g and kept going up till it felt ok and end up with 85g.
    My futura x counterbalanced only has the standard 50g and feels heaps better, must have a lot to do with head too, so best to try a few weights.

    As you have suggested in your next post, I think it depends on (weight of) the grip you are going to use, and where (on the grip) you are going to hold it. I have just done a refit of a 34" standard putter into a 38" Armlock for a friend. The grip is a counterbalanced one from a 38" DLL I believe (was supplied by owner). It weighed about 135gr, but it still swingweights at G something. However with the armlock grip they are going to be holding well down the grip, and I am thinking SW isn't going to be a big issue. I am more worried about the loft being enough.

    I'm going to try and get one of the long heavy (130g) grips and will grip it around 33" as that's what length I play atm. I know the grips are available, but whether they are retail is another thing.

    Iain,

    I've just bought a Winn 15" counterbalanced grip from Golf Works; I think it weighs in at 128g & is specifically marketed as a counterbalance grip. Cost me about $21 US landed..

    My friend got his from Golf World at Capalaba I gather, I presume it was a 2nd hand pull. He said it cost him $20.

    Would they fit on a standard 35" shaft, or does it need to be wider like on the Futura X Counterbalanced?

    Normal shaft with some tape. This is the one I've got.

    As far as I'm aware it goes on a stock 35" okay. I note Bushy used some additional tape. I'll let you know when I fit it

    Sweet - ordered two of them today.

    The other thing I was wondering is... I have a 38" Futura X Counterbalanced and I want to knock 2 inches off it. Surely at worst it would only need a few wraps of tape underneath the grip to make it fit?

    I am looking 2 knock a couple inches off as well. Shaft is ok not to need extra tape.

    Cant get the counter weight out of the shaft yet though...

    Bugger - so the weight is in the shaft and not the grip? Kinda like a Tourlock but inside the grip (instead of drilling the top out of the grip)?

    Potentially I might have to send it back to Titleist to get it done...
