Using Putter Counterweight To Create Better Putting Results

By Christa Jarvis


In the sport of golf, the putter is a club use to make shots from a short distance away. The clubhead is exceptionally flat and the putter counterweight is distinctive from other clubs in the weight is placed a great distance from the clubface's center, thus increasing the club's inertia. The club is not used for long distance shots and is generally not used for high-speed strokes. The head of the club has a low-loft striking face. This gives the stick a so-called "sweet spot", maximizing accuracy when this spot contacts the ball.

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.

Less talented golfers who are unable to employ appropriate techniques as their more talented counterparts will find that using counter weighting benefits them as well. Feeling a greater weight in the club allows them to put with more consistent results and in a more controlled manner. However, the golfer must still have some skill. For instance, pushing and pulling putts off line equally is critical.

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.

Results reported by the clubmakers who provide counter weighting fitting services indicate an 80 percent improvement in a golfer's putting game when using counter weighting. Similar results are reported from work completed with golfers in-house. Using counter weighting will allow you to putt with greater consistency, greater accuracy, and more overall control. This will improve your overall golf score.

Counter weighting will not go away any time soon. That counterweighting is becoming more and more common indicates that a change has occurred in the market, and that this change is a permanent change. Counter weighting is not a trend in golf. Instead, it is a new beginning in golf that should not be ignored by any interested parties.
