Heavy Putter Design Elements
Heavier Mass Putter Heads
Patented Heavy Putter heads weigh between 450 and 550 grams. Conventional putter heads weigh roughly 330 to 350 grams. The heavier mass of the putter head disengages a golfer's small wrist muscles and engages larger shoulder muscles. This promotes a pendulum stroke and leads to a more consistent swing path. The heavier head mass also produces a softer feel by dampening vibration at impact.
Weight Management System (WMS)
A low balance point exacerbates the putter head's release causing wrist breakdown through impact, making the putter head uncontrollable. Heavy Putters have a WMS insert weighing 250 grams located inside the upper shaft. (Patented) The WMS shifts the putter's balance point higher up the shaft.
High Balance Point
Heavy Putters have a balance point that is 75% higher than conventional putters. (Patent Pending) The higher balance point allows the golfer to manage the heavier mass head and consequently benefit from its greater stability. Raising the balance point of the putter brings the center of mass of the putter closer to the center of mass of the golfer. This increases the stability of the putter throughout the stroke. The higher balance point also creates a tighter end over end roll of the golf ball. Locating the correct balance point for each golfer ensures a proper and consistent release through impact.
Extreme Heel-Toe Weighting
Heavy Putter head designs have incorporated extreme heel-toe weighting which creates a high moment of inertia. A high moment of inertia means that the putter head will resist twisting on off center hits and consequently produce straighter putts that reach the hole.
Conclusion
The results for the golfer are improved path, greater stability and a consistent release through impact which results in a superior roll of the golf ball leading to fewer putts per round and improved scores.
Heavy Putter Advantage
The heavier mass engages large muscles and disengages small muscles.
* Using the large muscles of the chest, shoulders, and back promotes a pendulum stroke with less deviation in path.
* The higher balance point encourages lighter grip pressure which creates a smoother stroke, more solid contact and improves distance control.
* The higher balance point produces a consistent end over end roll immediately after impact.
* The higher balance point leads to a more consistent putter release through impact and a more constant acceleration throughout the stroke.
* A heavier mass increases head stability throughout the impact zone improving putting accuracy.
* The extreme perimeter weighting and the face balanced head design create a high moment of inertia, thus improving distance control and accuracy for off-center hits.
* The Heavy Putter's personal fitting system optimizes the putter's performance for the individual golfer.
* Heavy Putter lengths are adjusted to match the golfer's putting posture.
* Fitting the proper length and optimizing the balance point of the putter is achievable with the Interchangeable Tip Weights and the WMS.
