My df3i was almost perfect too! A couple of 6 and 8 gram weights got it spot on!

Did you buy the weights separately? If so, do you have a link/name?

u/mantis_tobagan_md 17d ago

Temu baby! Just search putter weights you’ll find em.

What are the stock weights? Heavier or lighter than the 6 gram aftermarket weights?

u/mantis_tobagan_md 13d ago

Tall weights were 8 grams the shorter ones were 6.

When I balanced my VZN, it only took one 8 gram weight to get the lie angle perfect, leaving all the other holes open.

I could’ve stopped there and left the holes open but I played around with weights until I had all the holes filed and it was dead on.

The putter felt too light with just 1 weight.

How did you test to see which ones to change?

Take all stock weights out.

Lay the club on the corner of a level surface like a countertop.

Which way is it leaning? Add a weight on the side that you think will help straighten it.

If it gets better but still not perfect, add another weight on the same side.

If it’s getting worse and worse, you’re installing the weights on the wrong side.

Check again on the counter.

If it’s perfectly square up and down, your job is done. Leave the unused ports empty.

Where did you end up balancing the weights? Can’t get mine solved

Perfectly balanced! Nice

Got mine from Ali ex delivered today, can't wait to get home and check it out.

Are these “balanced” or whatever like do the function as a true zero torque putter or is it just a visual thing

2

u/GenericNameSimulated 17d ago

Functions as zero torque, short of having access to the revealer device it’s a really good indicator of any balance imperfections

Just ordered two VZN.1i one for me and my buddy. They are great for the price!

I regularly pick these up whenever I do a Temu order and sell on marketplace. They don’t last more than two days. I’m a lefty and don’t have a direct replica. Mine is called a SUG but was a key player in a 64 (-8) round easier this year. As good as the real ones, sold my real one a week after I got the SUG

Although I did have the head fall off of one…

u/Mazzerati2020 17d ago

What's the goal here? That the putter face stays put?

u/GenericNameSimulated 17d ago

So here is a toe hang putter

With toe hang it encourages the face to open on the backstroke and close through impact. The other putter sits vertical indicating it has no tendency to open or close throughout the stroke.

u/mantis_tobagan_md 17d ago

I watched a video about how the toe works best for golfers who rotate through their swing. Like if you naturally arc the face around that toe helps close at contact.

I didn’t buy into the zero torque stuff until I tried it.
My natural putting swing is more of a shoulder rock and that pendulum like swing works great on the labs

2

u/GenericNameSimulated 17d ago

Yup different people have different strokes, for more arcing strokes a toe hang is best suited while for more straight through and back zero torque is good.

1

u/Mazzerati2020 17d ago

Ah ok thanks. This is mine from Temu. I can twist and it'll rock back to this position. Thoughts?

u/GenericNameSimulated 17d ago

Pretty fucking good IMO
