Weight was put in the shaft and packed down with a cork. As for as the balance point I did not look for it. Having done the similar routine to the other two putters but with a little more weight, I went for feel. With 26 putts ranging from 2 to 20 feet, I could not belive the results. Before this little project began I putt about the same with the Wilson and the Two Ball, and a little better than the Odyssey. I have always like the feel of the Wilson but I have never had less than 31 putts per round. The science of it? Who cares so long as it works.
Sorry, but I have to respond to this.
Yes, you were going for feel. And yes, it did work.
Now, don't you want to know what numbers will duplicate the feel you got? I certainly would, and I'm pretty sure Jeremy (who asked the question) would. It would certainly be useful for you, too; If you have to make another -- perhaps radically different -- putter for yourself, you might want to duplicate those numbers so the new putter is most likely to feel right.
I think Jeremy asked exactly the right questions:
* What was the final total weight?
* Where was the final balance point? (Usually, balance point is measured from where the centerline of the shaft meets the ground line.)
* What was the length of the club? (I added this question just now.)
I'd very much appreciate seeing those numbers.
Jeremy also asked where you put the weight. I don't know if he is happy with your answer to the question, but I'd like a little clarification. "In the shaft and packed down with a cork" suggests it was towards the tip. Is that the case? Or did you do something to weight the butt?
Thanks, DaveT
