Hi Dave,
Your discussion was what prompted my thoughts on MOI about the putter c.g. I understand what you said about the putter c.g. but it seems to me that another thing that is happening is that they are GREATLY increasing the MOI of the putter about its c.g. and this has the effect of slowing down the rotation of the putter about its own c.g. to better 'sync' with the pendular motion of the arms. Think of it as matching oscillator frequencies to allow phase matching. You achieve resonance and the motion becomes effortless.
Regards,
Alan

It won't affect how it strikes the ball, or the way it swings (since it is mostly translating, as you point out), but it would affect how the putter responds to the ball impact and thus how it 'feels'. Butt weighting would certainly affect this.
I suppose it could. But that is not what the Heavy Putter's butt weighting is about. I did post yesterday on what they are trying to do.
