puttnfool For the record, the aluminum weights are ~17g, the stainless are ~50g, and the tungsten are ~100g.

I have had a Triad II in da bag since they came out and can't see it going anywhere. I change weights in the spring and fall for changing green conditions. The Mentor Sports putters were nicely engineered and Chin had a nice website. Too bad they didn't make it. BTW, the weights are 1/2" O.D.. You can get various metal stock in that size if you want to fab up your own weights.

I don't understand trying to swingweight a putter. A SW value is a number relative to a fulcrum point 14" from the end of a shaft. How is that going to work with a 35" putter with a 350 gram head?

    In case anyone wants to contact Chin, I do have his e-mail address and have chatted with him about it. I had lost my headcover for my Quadra and obviously no other headcover will fit. Once his stock of putters are gone though, that's it. He is normally the one selling the ones on Ebay that are new.

      Swingweighting a club with the relative shaft flex of rebar does seem a bit odd.

        Been called "odd" before. 😃

        I had an Odyssey putter that I loved. The headweight felt just right to me. My PING putter felt a little lighter in the head (in my hands) so i thought i would try to match the feel of the Odyssey. I put the Odyssey on my swingweight scale to get a value. I added weight to the PING until it matched that value on the SW scale. It worked for me.

            sdandrea1 If you loved the Odyssey so much, then why switch to the Ping? I guess I might be asking the wrong person that question, huh... 🙂

                The three putters that I rotate, each I have made the total weight of the club with grip, shaft, and head be about 720 grams. I put lead powder down the shaft and seal with a cork.

                Okay, I appreciate the comments and between Steve and I it much be an old persons method. Here is why I asked. I bought a putter(used) Odyssey White Hot RX with a Superstroke grip. Played with it once and it felt like a sledgehammer. Decided to get out my other 4 putters and then I found another I had that cost me $15 for the head so now I had 6 to try. Hit 4 balls with each putter to see which "FELT" the best and it was the $15 putter. No matter how many balls I hit from various distances it was always the $15 putter. Decided to do more investigating so I proceeded to make a chart of total weight, head weight, grip weight and shaft weight. Did not learn much so I went to my clubbuilder to find out swingweights. The sledgehammer was an E7!!! The $15 putter was D1....somewhat of a large difference. Guess what we did....we shortened the other 5 putters and changed the grips and now I have 5 putters to use...0ne is going to Florida (another Steve and I common factor). All 6 now have a swingweight of between C5 and D1. Now my problem is that I love them all and not sure which to use. Not sure what this really means but I am very happy with the results. If I had not done this exercise I would have never found found out what "FEEL" I like.

                  There ya go. Swingweighting a putter!

                  Isn't this how MOI matching got it's start? Swingweight matching too? I have this one club that feels perfect in my hands and I want my other clubs to feel like that!
