If you’re like most golfers and having issues on the greens with your putting then a counter balance putter might be just what you need. The scoring part of the game is your short game around the green. Yes, I have to say it. “Driving is for show and putting is for dough” sorry!

A standard putter balance point is lower in the shaft. Where a counter balance putter has a balance point more near the middle of the shaft and they usually tend to be a little bit longer than a normal putters and heaver.

Most manufactures claim stability is usually the biggest benefit. A lot of golfers are looking for a more stable design that will help them keep the putter face square thru impact and not flip or open. Another benefit is the easier smooth repeated tempo since the weight difference in the shaft tends to move slower which tend to improve the feel.

I would suggest that before you go buying one on line that you go to your local Sporting Goods Store and try them out to see if it a good fit for you.
