I recently bought a used Taylormade Rossa Inza putter and wanted to know if anyone has any tips on using the the weight cartridges in these putters.  What are the advantages of adding or subtracting weight or using unbalanced weights?  Since I bought the club used, I don't have any original documentation and couldn't find anything useful on Taylomade's website.

I don't own that putter, however I have played with the weighting of my Rife 2-Bar putter and the concept is the same.

Evenly-dsitributed heavier weights in the putter will increase the swingweight, and this will help compensate for fast greens.  Heavier putters accelerate and decelerate slower.  Similarly, lighter weights will help judging pace on slower greens.

As far as heel and toe weighting, I wouldn't fuss with this too much.  Heavier weights in the toe or heel will change how the club naturally rotates through impact (toe weighting = open, heel weighting = closed.)  I'd keep them balanced.

Just what I was looking for.  Thanks.

So basically use lighter weights this spring on the soggy greens, then switch to heavier weights in the summer when things are dry.  Do I have that right?

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
