To summarize, if you like to use a straight back, straight through method, a face-balanced putter would be a great choice.

What happens if your putter is too heavy?

Is a heavier putter more stable?
There have been a few tests that indicate heavier putters perform better on shorter putts, as the putter head will be more stable, and lighter putters perform better on longer putts because it’s easier to hit the ball, because it isn’t so heavy. This could be good for short putts, but not so good for long putts.
