Inside the Stroke #5 : The Backstyle, the shape of the putter

The backstyle is what you see behind the ball at address.It doesn’t change the material. It doesn’t affect balance. It doesn’t change performance.But it can change how you feel standing over the ball—and that counts.

1. What the backstyle doesn’t do

• It doesn’t shift balance – that’s done by the adjustable weights

• It doesn’t affect material: → Aluminum = RUNNER Standard → CNC Stainless Steel = RUNNER Pro

• It’s not about performance. It’s about personal preference

2. What it really offers

• A visual identity: compact, extended, modern or classic

• A different look at address = different level of comfort

• It may influence how you perceive weight flow or stability

• The weight track is always there – built-in or attached, same function

3. Standard vs Pro: design logic

• RUNNER Standard: aluminum head

• RUNNER Pro: stainless steel core

👉 The insert system just makes it easier to change styles—not specs
