What does counterbalance mean on this putter?

Extra weight sits in the grip and head so the putter feels heavier overall and more stable. That helps keep the stroke smooth and the face square, especially on short putts.

Who should choose the counterbalance over the standard Spider ZT?

Players with a slow or short stroke, or those who feel the head wobble, get more from the counterbalance. Faster, more aggressive strokes may prefer the standard version.

Is it right for a straight-back, straight-through stroke?

Yes. The zero-torque design is built for a square-to-square stroke. Arcing-stroke players may find a toe-hang mallet more natural.

How does it compare with a blade putter?

It is far more forgiving on off-center hits and easier to align. A blade gives more feel and a cleaner look for players who prefer a traditional shape.
