Steve Boccieri, President and CEO:
"Some players find the original Heavy putter [900 grams total; 475-gram head, 250-gram 'counter balanced' weight in the grip end of shaft] to be too much of a leap from a standard 500-gram putter. Our Mid-Weight putters are 750 grams total [400-gram head, 200 grams in grip]. We find that going lighter than 750 causes you to get into all the bad habits of a regular putter."
How it works: This high-MOI mallet has a thin face that provides a bit of vibration at impact. (Previous Heavy putters had a thick face that dampened feel and increased club weight.) The Mid-Weight putter triggers a short, accelerating stroke while a higher balance point increases feel on lag putts. The H3 comes in black (pictured) or silver finish with Winn's firm, full cord grip.
