Bought a putter off eBay, and it had a weird piece screwed into the top of the grip. It pops open, but nothing inside. Is this for placing some sort of counterweight? 

 

I took it off, but am just curious as to what is is.

I believe that is a ball retriever.  It saves one from some of the unpleasant bending that physical activity often entails.  The previous owner would have used it to get the ball out of the cup.

Wow, that is exactly what it is. Didn't even cross my mind.

I'll give it to my grandpa. 

Thanks!

    • Day 147 - 2025-02-24 Got some work done in the hotel room. Not a lot, but five minutes at least.
    • Day 220: did a stack session. 
    • I had the Reeso putter, but the shaft broke at the insert to the putter head.  The manufacturer/designer passed away and there is nobody to fix them anymore.  I just purchased the L.A.B. works putter about 10 rounds ago and it is awesome!  I like it much better than the face-on putter and any other putter I have used.   Goodbye, Yips!
    • 2/23/25 Musgrove Mill Oak tees 72.3/155 Joined this club this year, and have played several times this year. Yesterday, the greens were the first day open since aeration. I struggled to hold greens, and putted as one would expect on aerated greens. For the first time in a while, my tee game was off and only hit 6 fairways when I have been averaging around 70%. Only 15 holes were open as they repair three holes damaged by Hurricane Helene.    Game continues to decline and handicap continues to increase!
