I've got an Odyssey XG 2-ball White Hot SRT putter. I want to add some weight to the head. If you're not familiar with the putter. It has two hollow tubes in the middle that would be ideal for adding weight. Any idea on what I can use to add the weight and the best way to secure it?

+1 for lead tape. Not too pretty, and not an exact science so you'll have to mess with it a little, but I had pretty good results on an old White Hot blade that was just too light for my liking.

If you want another way to do it you can get it balance certified. It is a weight that goes in the end of your shaft under your grip, and believe it or not it gives it the added weight whereever you want it depending on your preference. You will have to experience it to understand what I mean, but it works wonders.

My club fitter is going to add 70g of weight to my putter using the weight under the grip and by putting tungsten powder down the shaft and plugging with cork. The tungsten is 1.5x heavier than lead powder and it will be down at the putter head. They will also put some lead tape directly behind the hitting surface and ruin my putters looks but the heavier putter works well for me. Also to get this stuff in the shaft they have to replace my grip so I am going with a larger Winn grip.

Whoa, thats a heavy one. id definitely have trouble with distance control with that one. funny thing is, i just dumped my Yes Callie putter because I was having that exact trouble with it. and it was 355 grams. i dont know why, but the heavier the head, the harder it is for me to control my distances. fast greens and heavy putter heads just dont mix with me

I was having the opposite problem, the lighter the head the more out of control my stroke was. Now it just feels perfect though.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
