What is a heavy putter head weight?

What putter did Payne Stewart use?

A Payne Stewart putter is always at the top of the list in most players lists.

However, a great choice can vary depending on how you play. For example, one player may love a heavy headweight putter but hate a low profile putter. While other players love and hate both. In this article we will attempt to determine what type of putter could work well for you.

First, let's take a look at the features that define each type of putter. In every case the head shape is the determining factor in defining the type of putter. Below are the most common head shapes with each type name.

Anatomy of a putter - Head Shape. The most common head shapes: The Big Headed, Square Shaped, and Flat Shaped heads are the most common found. These heads are not named specifically since these head shapes fall into several categories. The most common of these is the Round Shaped.

The Round Shaped head has the appearance of a rounded rectangle. The body can have an S or T shaped cross section. These are the most common shapes seen on putters in production today. Another example of a Round Shaped head is the Wilson Classic S300 Putter (above). You can also have a flat bottomed head that is oval or circular. Most of these heads are used with an insert but some manufacturers offer forged metal heads. There are still many more variations on head shapes than listed here, but these are the most common.

Big Headed Putter - (Head is Large). Square Shaped Putter - (Head is Square and Large). Flat Shaped Putter - (Head is Flat and Large). Big Headed, Round Shaped, Flat Shaped, and Square Shaped heads are all examples of a Type I head. This means it looks round on all three views (top, side, and back) and is a round rectangle. All the heads defined above are categorized into this group. The round or square type heads are large relative to their other head shapes.

Note: Head size is relative to putter length. A big headed putter is going to be a lot bigger than a small head putter.

What determines a putter's type? Generally speaking putters come in 3 main styles based on their head shape.

Can you forward press a Seemore putter?

If so then why not add a few ounces to that putter and make the world of difference in your putting? I am just curious as to why the pros use the Seemore. The main downside to the Seemore versus other putters such as Wilson and X-factor, it that when you're going to be putting 20-25ft. It's kind of hard to get into a good putt with a Seemore because at the very best you'll be hitting putts at least 5-6'.

My personal experience with the Seemore is that you get more speed out of the ball if you're putting indoors on carpet (like a gymnasium). For indoor and outdoor grass shots, the Wilson and I-Factor putters are a much better choice because you don't have the added wind resistance with the Seemore that will affect your speed.

The other advantage is of course the lower profile is easy for non-golfers to see what the putt should do instead of trying to read it through some type of putterface that will not be accurate when the actual disc is a few inches longer and wider. There's two reasons: 1) the "putter" part of the disc, which holds the majority of the weight, is flat and relatively narrow. That part takes most of the bending force and that reduces stress on the rim, which can lead to disc failure. It can also be a factor in disc drift after a high speed, high torque hit.

2) I like to putt with a "straight putter", which is to say a disc with a concave rim and low, broad, flat face. The design means I get a lower launch angle for most putts, so they tend to stay shorter. This is ideal for indoor and fairway greens where most courses have some amount of slope, especially if they have large areas where you can put on them, with little or no rough.
