What Should I Do If My Putter Tag Doesn’t Fit in a Counterbalance Grip?

Shot Scope tags are designed to screw securely into the end of a standard golf grip. However, counterbalance or weighted putter grips often contain added material or internal weights that block the tag from being inserted properly.

Your Options If You Use a Counterbalance Putter

If your putter tag won’t fit, don’t worry — there are a few simple alternatives to ensure you still capture accurate putting data:

1. Modify the Tag and Attach Manually

Carefully cut off the screw from the bottom of the tag.
Tape or glue the flat base of the tag to the top of your putter grip.
Make sure it’s secure so it remains in place during use.

2. Use Manual Putt Mode

Enable Manual Putt Mode in your Shot Scope settings.
Tap the watch button once before each putt to record it.
This option still tracks putting performance without needing a physical tag.

3. Use PinCollect Without a Putter Tag

Simply use PinCollect at the hole to track your putts.
The system will count the number of putts taken, even without detecting a putter tag.
You can then edit the putt locations manually in post-round editing to ensure accuracy.
