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.

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.

The next one worth mentioning is more than average incidence so far as off the center hit putts are concerned. Another habit is the inconsistency with controlling distance - some putts long and some putts short. The area of the back of the putter and through the golf ball could also be jerky.

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.

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.
