The data only suggests that there may be something there. The BB1-CB’s make percentages were higher for two of the recorded distances. However, since the scores for the BB1-CB are only marginally better, we can’t definitively say that the counterbalanced version of the BB1 gives a golfer the ability to make more putts than he or she would with the standard version. When we look at the individual putters, the only counterbalanced model that suggests an even slight, Number of Putts Made advantage is the BB1-CB. non-counterbalanced is inconclusive. While there may potentially be a made putt advantage with the BB1-CB (see Individual Putter Data), the data as a while does not support any assertions that golfer will automatically sink more putts by switching to a counterbalanced putter. When we compile the makes from the three models, we see that the differences between the make percentage for the counterbalanced vs. If the counterbalanced putters do, in fact, provide an advantage, then we should see that advantage demonstrated in the N umber of Putts Made and Accuracy data. The models tested were the BB1, the BB32, and the BB55. Using the scoring results from these putters allows us to compare standard and counterbalanced versions of the same putters, from the same manufacturer, and, most importantly, in the hands of the same testers.
The only difference between the models tested was the fact that one was standard and one was counterbalanced. If counterbalanced putters do offer advantages on the course, those advantages should be quantifiable through objective testing.įor this test we used three identical Bettinardi Golf putters.
While there has been a lot of talk, and type, about counterbalancing being the anchoring answer, any data supporting such a claim has been conspicuously absent. You will lower your scores.Īt least that’s what we’ve been told… But Is Counterbalancing The Answer? Counterbalancing is, to date, the most popular of those alternatives.Ĭounterbalancing is more stable alternative to standard putter. Forward-thinking putter manufactures have quickly come up with alternatives for those who currently anchor. This counterbalance technology increases the putters’s overall MOI (moment of inertia), which in theory, they tell us, will make our putting strokes more stable.Īlthough counterbalancing isn’t new, manufacturers have promoted its benefits as an alternative to anchoring, which as you know the USGA has banned (the new rule goes into effect in 2016). This is accomplished by extending the shaft length, adding more weight to the end of the shaft itself, or both. To compensate for the extra weight, even more weight is placed above the golfer’s hands. Counterbalanced putter heads are heavier, in some cases by 50 grams or more. In counterbalanced putter designs, the weighting, and often the total length, differs from a conventional putter.
