More Information
Summary:Described are embodiments of putters that include a counterbalance weight located at the butt end of the shaft. The shaft and/or grip of disclosed putters can have reduced mass while the putter head and the butt of the shaft can have increased mass compared to conventional putters, which provides a similar overall total mass but with an increase in the moment of inertia (MOI). The increase in MOI compared to a conventional putter of similar style and mass can provide increased swing stability during a stroke, decreasing unintentional waggling about the hand grip fulcrum. The added weight in the putter head and the added weight in the butt of the putter can counterbalance each other so that the overall swingweight of the putter can be about the same as for a conventional, non-counterbalanced putter having the same total mass, thereby providing a familiar feel and easy playability.
