Adjustable Tip Weights
The Heavy Putter™ comes with two Stainless Steel(45g) Tip
Weights installed in the putter head and an optional Tip
Weight Kit comprised of two Aluminum(20g) tip weights, two
Copper Tungsten(70g) tip weights, and an Allen wrench. The
adjustable weights alter the head weight between 450, 475,
and 500 grams. This allows the golfer to fine tune the
balance point of the putter to match his or her stroke
characteristics.
Long and Belly Putter Adjustable Tip Weights
Our testing found that for longer putters the optimal
head weight is heavier than conventional lengths.
Consequently, Heavy Putter™ Long and Belly Putters come with
two 47.5 gram Tungsten Tip Weights installed and an optional
Tip Weight Kit that includes 37.5 gram and 60 gram tip
weights.
Recommended Weight Changes
- Missing Right: Increase head weight
Reason it works: Increasing the head weight lowers the
putter's balance point which promotes a greater putter
head release though impact.
- Missing Left: Decrease head weight
Reason it works: Decreasing the head weight heightens
the putter's balance point which promotes less putter
head release through impact
- Missing Short: Increase head weight
Reason it works: Increasing the head weight lowers the
putter's balance point which promotes a greater putter
head release though impact. A greater head weight also
increases the momentum of the putter head through
impact.
- Missing Long: Decrease head weight
Reason it works: Decreasing the head weight heightens
the putter's balance point which promotes less putter
head release through impact. A smaller head weight also
decreases the momentum of the putter head through
impact.
Altering the Path of Stroke
Through extensive testing we discovered that unbalanced
tip weight combinations will help straighten the path of
putting strokes with even the slightest path flaws.
Recommended Path Corrections
- For a golfer with an Outside to In path (cutting
across the ball), we recommend placing heavier weight in
the heel relative to the toe.
- For a golfer with an Inside to Out path, we
recommend placing lighter weight in the heel relative to
the toe.
Length
We believe the length of the putter should be matched to
a player's posture rather than asking the player to alter
his or her posture to accommodate a predetermined length.
Consequently, we offer The Heavy Putter™ in standard lengths
from 32 to 36 inches for conventional style putters. Custom
lengths are also available. The Heavy Putter™ is also
available in mid and long versions at various lengths.
Personal Fitting System Advantages
- The Heavy Putter™ Personal Fitting Process allows
the golfer to manipulate the balance point of the putter
to match his or her release characteristics. The correct
combination will improve a golfer's stroke.
- Adjusting the head weight has been
proven
to enhance a golfer's distance control and directional
accuracy.
- Different green speeds may cause a golfer to leave
putts consistently short or long. Altering the head
weight of the putter can help alleviate this problem.
- Sometimes something as simple as a different feel
can spark improved putting results. Adjustable tip
weights provide a new feel.
- Other putter manufacturers use the same head weight
for all lengths of putters. This creates a loss in feel
with shorter putters. Interchangeable tip weights allow
the golfer to increase head mass to maintain proper feel
on shorter putters.
- Unbalanced tip weight combinations will bias the
path of the putting stroke and help correct path flaws.
