Counterbalance Putter can transform your putting and see the best ones that are available from GolfOnline.
In the lead up to the anchored putter ban there was a lot of talk about the counterbalance putter being the best alternative. With all the hype we were a bit skeptical but it turns out they really are quite incredible! Offering golfers amazing feedback and straighter strokes on the greens.
The difference between a normal putter and a counterbalance putter is most often found in the weight and length of the club. More weight is added to a counterbalance head and to compensate for this extra weight more length is either added to the shaft or more weight is added to the end of the shaft.
By making the putter heavier at both ends the club’s overall MOI increases. This in turn should make your stroke play more stable and can also stop your wrists from twisting during those all-important putts.
In 2013
Justin Rose won his first major title at Merion Golf Club using a counterbalance putter. His U.S. Open win with the TaylorMade Spider Blade blew the lid off the counterbalance revolution. Today, more and more golfers are using the unique putters to ensure stability and better feel around the greens.
TaylorMade continues to churn out incredible counterbalance designs including the new
OS CounterBalance Spider Putter. The club’s oversized head helps to make it extremely stable on impact while the vertical deep milled insert helps to grip the ball creating better roll off the face. Also from TaylorMade is the more traditional looking
OS CounterBalance Daytona Putter. Still featuring the larger head design, the Daytona also features a vertical deep milled insert resulting in a better roll, feel and sound off the face.
Odyssey, the number 1 putter in golf, has also entered the counterbalance race. Creating a variety of designs to suit golfers of all ages and abilities. The new
Odyssey Works Versa Tank Marxman Fang Putter features the brand’s latest technology including their High Def Linear Alignment. Making it easier to see the putter head through the stroke as well as encouraging a more consistent setup and alignment to the ball.
