Thanks for the reply Dave, sorry if I sound indifferent about the makeup of the putter. I really do want to know what I stumbled on and before this weekend is over I will let you know the full configuration. I am still trying to figure out what I did to luck on to a putter that really works. Actual 4 oz of weight contained about 95% tungsten dust and 5% pellet shots. The pellets were used to round off the total.

I know one thing, when I finished that first 9 holes and totaled my score, I was without words. I track score, putts, fairways hit, greens hit in regulation, sand saves, and number of Oops (penalties). The total number of putts for the 18 holes was 26. I am just an average high handicap golfer and my score for the round was a 92. I was all over that course but the day was saved by the putter.

Once I have done some measuring I will let you know. Thanks again for the interest.

OK, as to the weight, no I have not measured it although I do know that I poured 4 oz of dust down the shaft to the tip.


Thanks, Tom.

So the info that we have is that you've added about 110g near the clubhead, and nothing near the butt. It is a short (31") putter. Probably results in a rather low balance point.

Now do I want to know how much the club weighs, probably not.


I can't tell you what you want to know; only you know that. But you can bet that, if it were my putter, I'd want to know a whole lot more about it. Putter heads come in a big variety of weights -- not like iron heads or driver heads. Taking an arbitrary putter and adding 110g down the shaft won't necessarily make it feel like the one you've got now.

If I wanted to duplicate the feel, I'd want to start with the same:
        - Length
        - Total weight
        - Balance point

Thanks again,
DaveT
