The swing feel and total weighting of your putter will stay very very close to your current putters weighting/feel. The design of the balance point putter shaft was to add a layer of green reading utility to the putter shaft while improving the putter shaft's performance over steel, all without changing or impacting the overall weighting and feel the golfer has specifically chosen in their putter. By keeping the balance point of your putter at the same point of your existing putter, the overall weighting and swing weight feel change will be very very minimal. In extreme cases, the weighting difference/swing feel difference may amount to the same feeling as holding two quarters in your hand while you swing your existing putter and then swing your putter without those quarters in your hand.
