THE BENEFITS OF COUNTERBALANCING With counterbalanced putters the key change is heavier heads, which help fight twisting to make your stroke more accurate. This extra head weight alone would ruin feel, so another difference is extra mass above your hands in the butt of the grip, which balances the feel of the putter to aid your distance control. Typically, counterbalanced putters suit players with twitchy or hand-heavy strokes, but we’ve seen all sorts of players benefit, so do come and try one if you’ve been struggling on the greens. |
