Using in-shaft counterweights to optimize putting speed control and feel!

Two weeks ago I talked about my initial efforts to optimize the performance of my new SeeMore Counterbalanced Putter.  It is 36 inches long, and I grip it to my normal putter length of 33 inches.

A little over a week ago I did some final testing using Tour Lock Pro Opti Vibe Internal Weights – these are counterweights that can be inserted down the shaft of a golf club.  With these type of weights, you can "fine tune" the feel of a putter and – in most cases – optimize the performance of a putter for best speed control and feel.

The above picture shows my SeeMore counterbalanced putter and some of the Opti Vibe weights I tested with – weights of 50, 100, and 150 grams.  Not shown is the 75 gram weight that I ultimately determined was the best weight for my personal putter.

I tested outside on the practice putting green at the Oak Ridge Country Club.  Here is the overall process I used:

​I love the feel and performance of this putter!  I put it in play for 2 rounds a little over a week ago.  The more I allow myself to relax as I create my putting stroke with this putter, the better the results seem to be.  

Overlength counterbalanced putters are definitely worth taking a look at.  However, if you do so, you will get the best results by testing with a range of counterweights and locations of weights down the putter shaft.
