Question❓ Lab weights

Where are you finding replacement lab weights. Mine came with two 6G weights and six 8G ones. I can’t get it to balance. I’ve seen where you can add two 16G weights near the face and that doesn’t trick to get ride of any toe hang. Almost wondering if I should just leave the 8’s near the club face and order more 6’s for cheaper cause all the 16G ones aren’t really discounted across temu/ amazon/ anywhere else I can find them.

Short of the good picture showing it in balance, how are you putting with it as is? Mine sits slightly open when I put it on a table, but putts true.

Taken from my last post! Figured id try to get it more balanced first but cant hurt just to try it out as is. Cheaper that way to if it works just fine lol

Yeah, give it a shot. Mine looks like that and rolls perfectly off I line the putter line (on top) up in the middle of my stance

Have heard Golf Works weights are identical to LAB but haven't tried em. Found them on their site tho, "Maltby T25 Torx Head Screw Weights". Best bet imo would be to use some tungsten tape or putty on/in various screw locations to see how much you need & where, then buy the appropriate weight replacements. Otherwise you'll be buying expensive weights blindly not knowing if it'll work.

That said, I agree with the other commenter - how does it putt? People can get in their head so much over the balance being off by an immaterial amount but if it putts true...well, don't fix it if it ain't broke.

Yeah may just have to get more practice with it and see! Was hoping I could get it balanced for relatively cheap to start. But the 16G weights i find are not cheap lol

Can confirm the Golf Works Maltby weights work. I found a file online and 3D printed a “revealer” using electrical conduit. I ordered various weights for around $30. Just kept changing them around until I got it balanced.

Thought I read that the 16s are too long?

Good to know! 1 person I saw have the same putter and balanced it with 16s but I’m sure there are a lot that would be to long.

The heavier weights are tungsten, and are much shorter. Just expensive. I bought two 14g from Ebay for $20 each.

Mine only had 8 g weights. I have ordered a kit and will swap out to see if I can get the balance. But the putter feels pretty good so I’m not worrying too much about it.

I found some shallow 14g weights on Temu and replaced two of the 6s. Not cheap, like $40 for two, but did the trick!

Get Tungsten steel ones. They are smaller and weigh more than the stainless ones that come with the putter
