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.
Most of the characteristics mentioned above are allowed on putters, for example positional guides, non-circular grips, and bent shafts. One of the impressive putting improvement accessories within custom environment has shown to be the application of excess weight put into the grip end area of the putter shaft. That is a fitting technique known as 'COUNTER WEIGHTING'.
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.
Beginner golfers also benefit from counter weighting. A club with extra weight in the right areas means the golfer will feel more weight when putting. This makes it easier to remain accurate and consistent with each stroke of the putter. Skill is still a necessity and a golfer should still be able to pull and push off line equally.
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.
The increased presence of counterweight represent real, long-term market change and not just a trend for a particular season or year. It is an expansion and real awakening of a significant technology that's been proven with time. For that reason, it is here to stay.
