In today’s video, we’re explaining the misconception of face balanced putters! I myself have been guilty of misguiding people into what I thought were face balanced putters, as most golf pro’s and retailers are trained to believe a face balanced putter, balances square to the sky!
In today’s video, we’ll be showing you how to identify a face balanced putter!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…. That's how many times you said yeah in 30 seconds….. 😴😴😴😴
Got a seemore ss one last year from Melvyn great putter 👍
I have a straight back and through stroke and have a plumb neck, double bend and centre shaft putter…..if I'm honest I put decent with all of them.
What is important to me is what I feel comfortable with, the plumb neck blade just looks better to me even though it isn't suited to my stroke.
What a joke. There is no science that backs this infomercial up.
Been using the SeeMore now for 8 years – I will never part with it … I fitted myself on their website- dropped 3 to 4 stokes a round easy with it… My putter is the Original FGP Milled ss303 …
LAB is where it’s at!
Thanks for bringing this to our attention Gaz, top drawer video
Wish I had known you were at my course I would have had a chat
Same concept as the L.A.B. Putters and makes a lot of sense🤔 Didn’t realise any other companies did this 👍🏻
I love this video gaz I remember you mentioning this video when I was at Huddersfield
i love your channel good advice down to earth
i mean i hate to debunk his theory, but at 2:18 hes not supporting the putter at all, he just lets it fall and the face opens. then at 2:47 hes holding the putter in a way that it wont let the face open, he didnt do it in the same way he held the first putter. so that to me doesnt tell me anything. i would like to think the second putters face would also open slightly like the first putter did.
Kinda neat, tested some of my toe hang center shafted putters and some were face balanced at impact, ☺
You must take the clubhead acceleration into account. The clubhead isn't still at impact, it is accelerating down the swing path. If you have a short rapid stroke the acceleration g-force will straighten a face balanced head before impact, more so if the weight is further back in the clubhead. If you have a long slower accelerating arc the g-force is acting more outward making a toe heavy putter more stable. At least that is how I se it, I could be wrong. Continuing this thought process, a short fast stroke makes a facebalanced putter straighter at the cost of distance control, versus a slower accelerating long arc toe heavy putter having better distance control at the cost of directional precision. Which is more important, precision or distance control?
You'll never have confidence in your putting or putter no matter how much you spend until you receive a professional putter fitting and trust the findings.
Hwhaat!? Lol to each their own… i have face balanced, toe hangin, and what i call off balanced.. u play the club in your hand.
Hi Gary, I haven't been able to see your fitting for See More Putters as described in this video??
LAB putters are the same concept and also Honu putters as well
Where is the fitting centre
It seems that LAB Golf has taken these concepts to the next level….
Absolutely nonsense. Please don't take this to any count whatsoever. Go-ahead Gary keep these fools in the 4th Flight.
I have a Face balanced at impact putter from SeeMore, but am unable to get a new replacement grip for it, can you recommend a shop? Much appreciated.
This video is a load of shit. The "science" behind what your saying doesnt matter when everyone putts different. I putt night and day better with a face balanced double bend than with anything with even 20° or more of toe hang.
Almost all of them are centre shaft….and that is definitely the way to go.
I got the copy of Payne stewart one that has his profile and autograph and gold grip
Most people cannot hit a center-shafted putter. Balanced face putters are like cheating to putt with
No putter opens up on impact unless you let go of the grip completey, if they were that good all the top your players would use them, Tiger Woods was the best putter in the world without this so called technology, I’m calling BS
A putter that's balanced at a 45 to 90 deg angle with the head perpendicular to the ground. Anyone else have questions about this?
Unless you have a face balanced CENTER shaft -right?
Forget L.A.B. or SeeMore, go for affordable Bell if you understand what you need.
Face Balancing is a COMPLETE MYTH. If you "balance" the face and the putter body is not balanced there is no balance. The body of the putter holds the majority of the weight of the club. If you don't balance the complete putter (body + face) the putter is NOT balanced.
Stop telling lies cause if it doesn't work for you doesn't mean other can't put with face ballance.
Face ballance same my game and the reason I'm scratch golfer today cause of face ballance .
same old putter, I saw a putter I would like for you to review so I could make up my mind up on to buy it or not called the OG Spoiler putter.
Original model won the 99 US Open and the 2007 Masters
What sort putter was used to Win The Open last week ?
Sounds kinda like a LAB putter
I read somewhere that somewhere in the 60+ percent of golfers require some arc. I tried a face-balanced Yes! Carolyne over a decade ago. I didn't realize I was opening the face naturally through my takeaway, and by allowing the club to come through on its own, it stayed open. I missed away all the time and keeping the face square was nearly impossible. I'm not saying that everyone needs this though. I currently play a TM toe-hang forgiving mallet (Ardmore 3 with slant neck) and it's been a great move. I need it to rotate but some stability at impact would be appreciated.
Can they bring out a new model called Butz
2-piece, screw together shaft??? I don’t think that’s a very good idea. For 250, put a proper shaft on it. Grips are simple to install.
With changes in technology the question always arises: how did anyone successfully use a putter or iron or driver before changes? Technology does bring changes in using a stick better, but how much and at what price?? I have a Ping B60 putter is al least 15+ years old… it works. I have no idea if it is face balanced, my hands respond to it and the ball goes in the hole if I do what I am supposed by allowing the head to do its job. How in the world did anyone push a ball into the hole with a steam bent wooden stick?
I think putting is not something you should be this opinionated about. I will never NOT play face balanced.
