Jmikecpa Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I found the specs on their website, kind of out of the way actually. ALL of the current Futura's are face balanced. http://www.titleist.com/golf-clubs/putters Click see Futura details, scroll down it's on the bottom of the page. Toe flow "minimum" for all. - Alan Minimum still has an arc just less of one. The 5 CB and MB are certainly not face balance putters. Not sure about the larger mallets as I have not spent any time with them yet. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy WITB 2024 Driver: Qi10 LS 9* Ltd.

Jmikecpa Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Sorry for any misinformation... I assumed that the center shafted models should be balanced. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy No worries, was just trying to help out. Center shafted does not necessarily mean face balanced. If I get time tomorrow I will post some pictures of different putters I own and the toe hang. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy WITB 2024 Driver: Qi10 LS 9* Ltd.

I have 35 in right now, dont know if thats the right length or notCounterbalanced putters have additional weight added to the butt end of the club to move the balance point higher. Generally the weight is supposed to be above the hands meaning that if you use a 35 inch putter a counter balanced putter would be more like 38 inches. With grips like the new superstroke counterbalanced the weight can be at the hands. The additional weight can simply be a heavier grip or actual weights The goal is to help make the putter swing more like a pendulum. Generally the head on a counterbalanced putter is over 375 grams. Ultimately what you use will be partially personal preference. If you can start the ball on your intended line then that is what you should use. If you aren't then you can start tweaking the putter configuration Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eseay32 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 So I am debating on getting a new putter, I currently use the TaylorMade Spider Blade Counter Balanced putter. I am a fairly decent putter, usually average under 2 per hole. I am ready to go all in on a putter, and was looking at a Cameron Newport or going totally different style with the Spider (since it seems to be the most popular on tour now). Are either of these really going to help me that much? After playing around in the store with the spider it seems that this club is harder turn or not come back smooth and straight with due to the longer backside, is that the purpose of the design or am I crazy? I've got a Cameron Golo 3 available if interested.

cnosil Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Again dumb question, how do I know if its counter balanced? Do I currently have a counter balance putter? This is why I originally started this post. I have no idea what to even look for I don;t know what kind of putter you have. Most new putters have a weight that is inserted into the butt end of the grip and it would be easily recognizable. If someone did a DIY counterbalance they could have inserted a weight under the grip. In my opinion when looking for a putter, the first thing you should do is find one that enables you to start the ball on its intended line. You can put an object like a dime about 16" in front of a ball and see what putter rolls the ball over that dime using any length stoke the most consistently.

Shankster Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 In hand photos of the 5 putters. Tried them all. The Scotty MB was my favorite. Now I need to sell some stuff. More face balanced than the Spider. The Scotty MB and the CB performed about equal, I just didn't like the black half moon thing on the back of the CB. The Taylormade Spider I thought I was going to really like. But the Red really distracted me. Very well put together piece of equipment. The Odyssey... those lines make lining up a breeze, glad I picked an older model of this. (Should be here friday) The Scotty Newport. Ah yes, traditional looks and feel. But I'd take either of the Futura's over it. Feel: I think the Taylormade won the soft off the face award. The Scotty's provided a nice medium feel off the face with a 17' Pro V. The two blade putters felt a little wobbly to me. The mallets were nice and easy to use. I intend to go back and do some on course demoing with the 2 Scotty's.

obobgolf Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 So, thinking about my Evnroll fitting and purchase (notwithstanding the opportunity to meet Mr. Rife), I am frankly amazed at the positive differences of actually going through their putter fitting process. One word review - Amazing! Having read the reviews and watched several YouTube vids, I made the appointment to head to Carlsbad. My eye was attracted to the ER-2 (squareback), however, after the folks evaluated my stroke I wound up with the ER-5. I love this putter, it just seems to "hug" the putting surface and goes where it's pointed for sure, but my whole point (which now seems obvious, I guess) is to communicate that being fitted for the putter very well may be the most significant, high value fitting money can buy.

I know Im not the best player but Im missing things that no one should miss. I have one of those cheap putting mats that has the little hill at home and I can usually hit those. There should be a consistent pattern. The left and then right is more the result of compensating for the last miss. Do the dime drill and see if you miss more left or more right. If you are really that inconsistent. I would would on getting a consistent setup and ball position.

Has helped my putting a lot. 3 feet is probably farther than you need. If you can hit a dime consistently at I think 20" that is the same as .5* of error which would make a straight 20 foot putt. The distance might be an inch or 2 off since i did the math a while ago.
