I'm not trying to get the swingweight back to where it was. Most(many) people won't notice a change when cutting down a putter, however in my experience, with several guys in Europe, is that they are playing with shorter putters and they are backweighting them. Getting weight nearer the hands. Yes putters has a new weighting device that is solely focused on getting weight nearer the hands. The Yes rep for the Futures Tour told me that he backweights a lot of putters there also. Happy Holidays to all!
