Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Heavy Putter
I was anxious to try the Heavy Putter concept so I cut a 3/4" round steel
bar into a 200 gram weight and tied it tightly onto the back area of my 32"
Ping Craz-E putter with a couple of plastic wire ties. The bar fits
tightly into a depression near the back end of the head and runs parallel to
the putter face. I inserted a 1/2" steel rod into the butt end of the
shaft. It was 10" long and weighed 250 grams. I was surprised at
how much steel it took to make the 200 gram head weight. The 3/4"
bar is nearly as long as the putter face.
With no practice other than a dozen hits on the practice green before the
round, I headed out for the first round of the year. After 3-putting the
first two holes from 50 and 35 feet, I was wondering if my experiment was in
vain.
But once I got the feel of the putter I couldn't believe how easy it was
to putt with. The short putts felt so smooth. I had 7 1-putts and
even though 3 of them were from 3 feet or less, I sunk others from 6, 7,
10, and 15 feet. For some reason I had a lot of long putts that day and
once I got the hang of swinging the putter on the long ones, I left 9
putts between 40 and 90 feet long no further than 2 feet from the hole.
Even with the two 3-putts I finished with 31 putts.
I really liked the feel of the putter and am anxious to try it
again. If this keeps up I'll probably buy a Heavy Putter when they're
available. Now that I know the concept works, I'd like to look at a
nicer looking head than mine with a 3/4" bar of steel fastened to it.

No Arnie I don't mean "Knock off" I don't build knock
offs, never have & never will . I curently use a 330 gram
mallet then I added 50 grams of tungsten to
and
use a shortened shaft --33". - it works ok for me. But I haven't put
any Counterbalancing down the shaft so I am going to try weight in the
shaft and maybe put some extra weight in the head. All
these principles have been around for decades so I doubt if I will be
contravening any patents.

Has anyone tried to find out the specs of the
Heavy Putter and if so
have you tried to build something along
similiar lines?
Do you mean "knocking it
off"? If it meets will sales success you will see the head as a
"similar" component. Just look at all the screw weighted drivers that are
hitting the market.
