Using Putter Counterweight To Create Better Putting Results

By Christa Jarvis


The putter is a club employed in the golf sport to make relatively low-speed and short strokes with the objective of getting the golf ball into the target hole from a distance away. It's differentiated from other clubs (typically woods and irons) by a clubhead with low-loft striking face, low-file, very flat, and by other characteristics such as the putter counterweight which is the additional weighting, or placing of mass far from the middle of the clubface to raise the inertia of the golf club head. When this accessory is used this way, it minimizes twisting in case the club comes into contact with the ball somewhat off-center thereby giving the stick a "sweet spot" that it can contact.

Putters may have the following characteristics: non-circular grips, positional guides, and bent shafts. Counter weighting is a useful and acceptable way to customize any club. Counter weighting involves placing extra weight in the gripping area of the club. This improves the golfer's accuracy.

Golfers do well by employing counter weighting in their club. Putting using appropriate technique, while properly using counter weighting, provides increased accuracy and superior overall effectiveness for a golfer. Using appropriate technique requires that a golfer has the skills needed to use the putter to hit the ball and the golf ball will land in the place the golfer wants it to land.

For players who don't have fine motor control, if a considerable weight is put in the putter's shaft, the hands then feel that big weight and will be able to move better in a consistent, repeating manner. Golf players who've proven to better their putting with the help of counter weight exhibit one or more of the habits that will be be mentioned subsequently so far as putting is concerned. The first habit is the tendency to equally push and pull putts off line.

Having above-average results when it comes to accurately hitting off the center is also critical. The ability to make long putts as well as short putts is also important. An understanding of "jerky", the area between the golf ball and the back-side of the club, is also of high importance.

The size of a given counterweight varies according to the preference of the individual golfer. Counterweights are sized by weight and are available in the following sizes: 60g, 80g, and 100g. Typically, for a putter, a golf player will use an 80g or 100g counterweight. A weighty counterweight is proven to have a positive impact on a golfer's putting ability. This leads to more success in the golfer's overall golf game.

From consulting clubmakers who provide this fitting services to their golf players and from work done in-house with players, it can be said that putting improvement rate so far as counterweight is concerned is estimated to be over 80 per cent. If you want to hit putts more constantly and produce more putts, be ready to make the appropriate decision when it comes to balancing weights.

Counter weighting is here to stay. It will not cease to be an important customization. Experts golfers and beginner golfers agree that counter weighting is useful for anyone looking to better their overall golf game. Other trends in the game of golf may come and go. However, the success of counter weighting and the widespread adaptation of the practice indicate that no interested party should ignore this customization. Golf enthusiasts and businesses that cater to golf enthusiasts should seek to learn as much as possible about this customization.
