J2
The J2 comes in two colors: satin (J2-MW) and black (J2-MWB). The club head--also known as a blade--has a deep flange design. The J2 has a balanced blade with a plumber's neck hosel that is offset by a full shaft. The hosel is the joint that connects the blade to the shaft. It is designed only for righthanded golfers. It comes with a headcover.
Specifications
The J2 weighs 750 grams, with the blade weighing 400 grams. The blade is made of stainless steel and the shaft is made of true temper proprietary steel. Shaft lengths available are 32 to 36 inches long, but custom shafts can be as short as 30 inches and as long as 38 inches. There is a 200-gram weight in the grip end of the shaft that is designed to give the putter a 75 percent higher balance point, which is intended to get rid of the wristy action in your stroke.
Tip Weight Kit
Each Heavy Putter comes with a tip weight kit. The kit allows you to change the head weight in the putter. This will allow you to move the balance point up or down to help you keep your putts straight. If you are missing right, you can try increasing the head weight. If you are missing left, then try decreasing the head weight. The standard head weight is designed to be ideal for the majority of golfers.
Grip
The J2 comes with a Winn Mid-size grip, which is made with a soft compound--called V17 Super Soft--with a cord base material that is designed to be very tacky but remain firm.
