This is my fear as I have had the same results in the past. This time with the weights I feel much better tho because there's no denying how weight affects the stability of the stroke.
For anyone that is a tinkerer, I suggest picking up a couple of these lead weight kits that you get for pinewood derby cars. They come with a double sided tape and they break apart into 4 gram pieces (there's also some in big strips that you can cut to size that are thinner). Try adding about 30g to your putter head split evenly between front and back as well as heel/toe. Tinker around with adding more and less to see how it feels. If the head feels too heavy then add 25g or more to the top end of your grip as a counter balance. You may be surprised at the result.
What it does is allows you to have a slower, shorter, easier to control putting stroke and still hit the ball the same distance. A shorter, slower stroke is easier to control. You just have to get used to being slower. It has done wonders for my putting game. Most of us don't play on greens that roll at a 12+ like the pros do, so it's nice to not have to swing so hard to get the ball to go the same distance.
