Scotty Cameron adding Balance T
wo of Scotty Cameron’s tour-proven models and shapes – Select Newport 2 and GoLo 7 – are now available with
Dual Balance technology for golfers that want to stabilise their putting stroke. Scotty Cameron Dual Balance putters
are counterbalanced designs, developed through extensive research and testing in the Putter Studio and on worldwide professional tours, that provide stability for golfers that struggle to make a consistent stroke with a conventional length putter. Cameron and his team, through two
decades of high-speed video research with tour players, have found that the best putters in the world keep the butt end of the putter pointed to the same 1 to 2 inch circle in their midsection throughout the stroke. Dual Balance putters, with a 50-gram heavier head weight (400 grams total) and a 50-gram counterweight in the butt of the putter shaſt, are specifically designed to help golfers replicate that stroke, without anchoring the club to the body.
“The purpose of anchoring a putter is to
stop the butt end of the club from moving. Now that anchoring will be against the rules, we’ve determined the best way to help golfers regain that stability and control is through Dual Balance, by adding 50 grams to the shaſt and balancing that with 50 grams in the head,” Cameron said. “It eliminates that tendency for many players to flip, push or lead the putter with their hands. “Instead of stopping the butt end, we’re
able to slow everything down. The counterweight in the shaſt helps keep the butt stable and pointed at your belly. The additional head weight makes the putter slower and more lethargic without it feeling too heavy.” The proper length of a Dual Balance
putter is three inches longer than a golfer’s conventional putter length. (Accordingly, the standard length of a Dual Balance putter is 38 inches, three inches longer than the standard length of a conventional 35- inch Scotty Cameron putter.) The additional three inches provides stability while keeping the putter unanchored.
