I actually just purchased a Spider GT after doing a lot of research into length among some other factors. I have mild cerebral palsy, and I find that a longer putter helps me with correct posture after years of swinging a blade (and honestly, forcing a lot of putts well off-line). Thank you for this video and others you've done on the Spiders! #legend
I put a weight in last year and has really helped on the 4 to 6 foot putts - can trust the strike and hit it straighter with more pace, if you are face balanced you gotta try it
Seems to have died at retail. Would like to see options come back. Retailers don’t know how to talk about it so they didn’t sell. It works, that DJ putter looks excellent here. Good video.
As a lefty we just have to take the one dusty blade at the back of the store and learn to use it....... Those huge grips are a pig to fit and remove too...
I was always told the counterbalance only works if you grip down on the longer putter. The counterweight has to be like an inch above your top hand roughly for it to achieve the "counter" to the weight of the putter head. You demonstrated a grip that was right at the top of the grip and standing up tall. Does that still work or does it defeat the purpose of the "counter" balance? For instance can I just take my 35" putter which I grip near the butt end and just add a weighted grip to it?
You can but you'll be swinging the weight therefore the grip. Ultimately this is gonna come down to personal preference & how you like to feel the release of the putter
Sup PLYR. I just tried to dig you out some links of old vids but you're right, everything I've done has involved equipment with a grip, opposed to the grip then the equipment. I can add an overview of all methods to the list, maybe it's a fall thing or off season thing as I want everyone to be getting their flow going right now opposed to worrying about grip changes. BUT I hear ya & a nice complete guide in one spot would be solid - thx for the request / suggestion. In the short term search putter vids as I know I touch on a lot of that stuff in my equipment vids around putters
Trottie… Which irons would you recommend to exchange with for Mizzuno Semi Cod Mx19 irons that were given to me. The P-7TW irons milled grind $2k or P790 P770 I’m a 15-16 handicap shooting low 90s decent iron player. I’m leaning towards P-7TW speeder nx red regular or stiff shaft. Thank you for your time and help. God Bless ⛳️🕺🏽
hey Dominic, why do you want blades if you're currently running a 16? If you love those irons then who am I to turn you off them? Just not the most user friendly would be my call out
@@trottiegolfhe KBS iron and wedge fitting videos have been some of the highest viewed videos on the channel (shows the demand for it). To end with the KBS putter shaft fitting (based on how the others have done) would also be good for the channel and informative.
Since watching Trottie, I have changed my dream foursome to play a round with……it would be Trottie, Tyrrell Hatton, Sabrina Andolfo, and myself. I’m an obviously sick man!
Love the vids and the channel mate - any advice on how to get into club fitting. I’m not a PGA pro or anything, just something I’m quite passionate about and would Love to learn more about it. Cheers!

@@trottiegolf I checked TM customization page, and they don't offer heavy shaft and GTX head that goes to 380g(I assume interchangeable weights could do the trick)...Anyway I bet it would be a big demand at TM, since that GTX head seems popular. Let us retail ppl know if they have plans to offer
Golfworks sells counter balance weights. You need to drill the proper size hole in the end of the grip first. What is a good SW for a putter to help keep our hands and wrists quiet?
LACC member and the USGA made the 2023 US Open the WORST in the champions history. LACC should NEVER EVER be given any tour. The "average golf" got the short end of the stick; the tee times sucked...feel back for those across the pond.
Just switched to counterbalance and it’s the best thing that’s happened to my game. So much more confident and smoother
Love that, which head?
I must admit I'm fascinated by these................once again, thank you for all you present us
I just got the Spider Tour CB and love it.
I still use the Spider Blade putter Rose used. It’s still money for me.

Often the way right 🤷♂, all about communication hence why I keep the 🧅's flowing
SEEMS YOU ARE BLIND, DIKBAG
Looking very smart Trottie
Congrats Odyssey Versa Jailbird 380!
Excellent video.
Problem is most longer grips are too light! You do need a heavy grip or a grip with that huge heavy weight that goes in the top

Yo Trottie. Can you give us details of the spider you showed us?
Head weights, shaft, grip etc?

I putt exceptionally well with my 35" Scotty Cameron Futura X with a 50 gram counter balance in my Super Stroke grip.
Balanced Certified is the best back weighting system for all your clubs.
What do you mean swing the grip ? Your not swinging the head?
Didn't Johnny Miller use a putter with a huge weight on top of the grip when he had the yips?
Have you ever done anything on putter grips trot? Reverse overlap vs other? How to do them, benefits and cons, etc

790 & 770 both great options
Also what is the best grip manufacturer? Taylormade ? Or Golf pride ? 🤔
For putter grips it’s actually superstroke
For club grips it’s golf pride
In the spirit of KBS. Would it be possible to do a review/fitting on their putter new KBS GPS putter shaft v. their CT Tour putter shaft?
I saw them last week and they mentioned that exact product to me.... I mean if there is a demand and it's obv good then we can go there for sure

@@doch5061I agree with that,I wanted the gps shaft in my putter but as I own the GT max it won’t work so I went with the CT tour
If your using the longer grip how long should the putter be ?
it can be standard if you're cool with taking weight away from the head in terms of balance point
@@trottiegolf so if I use 34 inch putter with 15 inch Winn grip. I can just add lead tape to head to re balance it ? Key is how much
@@ericpietrondi9186 change the grip with a swing weight machine present and you'll be dialed, be warned it could be quite a bit

@@trottiegolf Does TM plan to push out a spider gtx counterbalance putter, with 38 inch, heavy shaft, and heavy 380g head like odyssey?
@@jeffyeah4256 I don't know but I would think you can custom one like that ?
