Putter Counterweight For Best 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.

The following characteristics are allowed on putter: on-circular grips, bent shafts, and positional guides. Extra weight placed in the portion of the putter used for gripping helps improve the effectiveness of that club in question. This application of extra weight is called "Counter Weighting" and is an acceptable customization for any club.

There is a way counter weighting work and some benefits for golfers as well. Golf players who putt effectively possess good motor control ability. That means, they've the neuro-muscular skill to control and move objects using their hands at slow speeds in a very precise, repeating and a consistent manner.

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 counterweights that are normally used are 60g, 80g as well as the 100g weight. Most golf players most of the time tend to use the 80g and 100g for the putter. There isn't any doubt that the chance of better putting using a heavy counterweight in the putter is extremely high.

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.
