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.
Bushka did you find that your super stroke putter grip gave u more control as Iam having trouble with my ping Scottsdale putter
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.

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.
I'd put at least 50g as a start, In my golo I ended up with 85g

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.

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?

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...
