jd1993 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I have a Odyssey Marxman White Hot Putter. I tried an Evnroll ER7 and that felt great at a fitting I went to. That head is 370g plus a Evnroll weighted grip. I was looking at maybe buying some stick on weights but they seem to be in .25oz increments. Plus I don't need a whole box of 90 weights! Thoughts/suggestions? aerospace_ray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhammer Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 How about Tire Balancing weights? They stick on and you can probably find them in lower quantities at any auto parts store. Then look to a weighted putter grip, SuperStroke and Forward Golf offer weighted grips in multiple sizes. cnosil 1 Quote Driver: Speed Zone 9* HZRDUS Smoke Yellow Shaft 3 Wood: King Speedzone 13.5* HZRDUS Smoke Black Shaft 2 & 3 Hybrids: Speedzone Recoil 480 ESX Shaft Irons: Speedzone 5-GW Recoil 460 ESX Shafts Wedges: PM Grind 54* & 58* Putter: Dual Force Rossi II Ball: Whatever I find in the woods HCP:18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballplayer002003 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Have you thought of lead tape? Just a thought.

Grit Golf Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Lead tape on the bottom so you don't see it is the way to go! You can epoxy lead birdshot down the shaft as well but if your adding alot of weight that approach will mess with face balance and can rattle. If you want a weighted grip, I LOVE the gravity grip!

jd1993 Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 Good thoughts all, I'll see about maybe led tape or tire balancing weights. I already have a weighted putter grip (I think Evnroll) which is great. Distance control is good just need the putter to be a bit heavier until I am able to upgrade.

aerospace_ray Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 This can be easy or a little tricky pending where you want the weight and related feel. Questions: So are you trying for overall increased total club weight feel? (i.e. your putter/Odyssey feels different/lighter than the Evnroll) Or did you feel the Evnroll ER7 putter head weight during the stroke? Or did you like a feeling in your hands during the stroke from that Evnroll putter grip? Also are the lengths of the two putters the same? Why? Because Odyssey and other putter manufacturers have (depending on year/model) varied putter head weights per length (33",34", 35") in an attempt to ensure consistent feel in its putter models. cnosil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Evnroll ER7 felt more weight in the head. I already have enough weight in the grip and the shaft. The lengths are the same, I really like the Evnroll putter grip with the weight etc. I know it's a bit different as the Enroll ER7 doesn't have a face insert like the Odyssey has. I felt the head weight of the Evnroll ER7 more so in the stroke then I do with the Odyssey. Does that all make sense? I think I answered all of your questions. aerospace_ray 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerospace_ray Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Yes Thanks. So to me its two parts. And note others here on MGS have ideas and with their expertise/experiences could reply and offer additional alternatives. If this were my putter, the challenge is with the right weight in the putter head (Odyssey). In a perfect world we could search/look up on internet what the weight of the Odyssey putter head is. As a club maker hobbyist I could even pop the head off and weight it to see how much the Odyssey weighs (grams) vs a ~370 gram Evnroll ER putter head. Then I would assemble/epoxy the Odyssey club back together. And then plan the math > how much/where (putter head , lead powder down the shaft - combo of those, etc). **I think you have good suggestions in previous posts how to add weight to your putter head. If this were my putter, the easy part is to go buy the Evnroll grip and/or a Super Stroke with counter core and add weight to the grip. Now my experience with counter balance weights is to do it slow and remember if you add to grip only you are in effect subtracting from the putter head and the club may feel lighter. Its still heavier overall (the total putter) but you are changing the balance point on the shaft (moving weight high makes the lower part feel lighter). Its a balancing act so to speak. And honestly it comes down to where you want the feel to be, in your hands or the club head. You might just add weight to the putter head and buy a Super Stroke grip but not add weights to the grip. Lots of options. Hope this does not cause confusion, it can be fun to learn how manipulating weight can affect your feel in a golf club. Eventually you figure it out through trial and error. Sometimes you walk in a store / pro-shop and pick something up and it feels right the first time. Hopefully you can buy it if that happens . Good luck cnosil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txgolfjunkie Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 You white hot is probably 350g. You would need to add 20g of weight to match the Evnroll, however, even if you added 15g, you won't be able to really feel that additional 5g. I'm adding weight to my Ping Arna by a combo of a lead tip weight and tungsten powder with a shaft plug. I used a bunch of lead tape only to see an increase of about 7g. I'll use a 10g tip weight and another 5g in tungsten powder to raise the weight of my Arna from 350 to 365g. You can either do it yourself, if you have epoxy, a heat source, the tip weight and powder. I got all of mine at The Golf Works. Adding weight to just the grip is an easy way to lose feeling in the putter head. You need to add it in both if you are beefing up your grip. Just a thought.

If you try to move the head, the lower swing weight will be an issue. If you try to move your hands, then more weight on the grip end will be helpful. aerospace_ray 1 Quote 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...
