TourLock® Pro and the Opti-Vibe systems are the Number One golf club counterweight optimization technology on the PGA Tour, the Champions Tour, and Korn Ferry Tour. Below you will learn about these weights and tools and gain knowledge into how they will improve any golfer's game.
Optimal Weighting Technology is a process of optimizing the static and balance weight of a club to best suit the individual's swing. This system and engineering has taken years to develop. It has been used by pros and amateurs and has been installed on golf clubs around the globe. These products are made in the USA by professionals, fitted by a professional club-fitter.
Proper fitting is a must in order to experience the most from your TourLock® Pro golf club counterweight system. Taking time with a professional fitter who knows how to balance clubs with these weights is so important and will change your "game" for years to come.
Performance Fitting Technology – The ability to alter club balance and static weight dynamically in a quick, simple and precise fashion.
When fitting an individual for any club, total optimization is the goal. Performance Fitting Technology is the easiest, quickest and most conclusive way to finding total optimization of a golf club to match the individual using it. Performance Fitting Technology requires the basic fitting parameters (club aesthetics, lie, length, grip, shaft profiling, etc.). The difference is in the ability to alter the feel and performance of the club to best suit the individual in ways that have been PGA Tour proven to work. This proven method is much easier for the club fitter while trying to find the optimal performance of a club and, at the same time, creating a better sense of awareness of a sound repeatable swing or stroke.
Optimal Weight Ready (OWR) – Defining the neutral TourLock® Pro and Opti-Vibe position and starting point to then begin true optimization.
The first step in this system is to modify the end of the grip with the TourLock® Grip Modifier. When modified with this tool the grip will be left with a clean access hole large enough to add counterweights into the shaft. Once the weights are placed in the shaft the hole is then capped with desired TourLock® Pro counterweight or end cap.
PUTTERS - For putters, we start by placing and tightening a 50 gram Opti-Vibe weight three inches into the shaft using the Opti-Vibe Dual Tool. Then cap off the end of the club with a 12 gram TourLock® Pro counterweight or end cap.
SWINGING CLUBS - For all other swinging clubs, we start by placing and tightening a 6 to 12 gram Opti-Vibe weight into the shaft shaft using the Opti-Vibe Dual Tool. Then cap off the end of the club with a 12 gram TourLock® Pro counterweight or end cap.
Now the club will be “Optimal Weight Ready” (OWR) allowing the club-fitter the ideal starting point to ultimately optimize the club in a simple and conclusive fashion like never before.
The Art of Optimization – The process used in creating and achieving Optimal Weighting Technology (OWT).
When the club is fully Optimal Weight Ready (OWR), we ask the individual golfer what he or she feels while holding and swinging the club. Golf club awareness is key. At this point more or less weight can be dynamically altered, both internal weight and counterweight. This awareness can be felt before hitting one shot or stroking one putt.
Optimization is based on FEEL and pertains to all clubs.
Before stroking one putt or hitting one shot, the club should be comfortable for individual feel. At this time, the "fine tuning" of the club can be optimized to the individual by incremental adjustments of the desired internal weight. This is tested and influenced with the aid of monitors, video or on the Practice Range and is also based off of ball contact sound and reaction. Both dynamic test results and scientific monitor data results will tell you what you need to know to achieve OWT.
Dynamically altering a club’s static and balance weight affects individuals differently. In all cases, both dynamic and scientific testing will yield an optimal result of static and balance weight that matches the individual best. Incremental internal weight adjustments are very hard to feel but these minor alterations certainly affect contact, consistency and directional roll. Once peak optimization is found, the club is finally OPTIMIZED, and you have achieved Optimal Weighting Technology. The club is now ready for play. We then will repeat this process with all of your clubs.

Optimization Goal – To create and achieve a value of improved feel, awareness and performance.
