Heavy Putter Shafts : Purpose

[wmclarenf1]

I've read on some fitting pages that Heavy or heavier putter shafts are meant to help add feel etc for LIGHTER heads.

Disregarding the effect of the increase in static weight and SW assuming length and grip remains the same, won;t a heavy or heavier putter shaft provide a bit of counterbalancing effect for a HEAVIER HEAD?

Where I'm coming from is I am trying to make a heavier head feel lighter in the hands and apart from a normal counterbalancing method of adding counterbalance weight in the butt. Hence I'm wondering if moving to a heavier Ns PRO 136 gram shaft (which I like the feel of) from the current 120 gram shaft will help with counterbalancing aim as well.

Thanks.

I have just had a putter built by GF and put a heavy (150g) shaft in it. Tario and I had a big discussion on all of this and between us agreed a spec. I have not received it yet but by all means contact T as he has had a go with it and by all accounts says the feel is amazing. He can tell you the spec's. I can give feedback when I back from Iraq in Jan and will be using it. I also think T will be posting some pics/feedback to forum members on this.

Thanks. I'm not actually inquiring about shaft feel and feedback but the effect of giving more feel of weight in the hands if one finds headweight a tad much than one is used to.
