“The Method Converge introduced the CounterFlex adjustable grip weighting and a range of blade and mallet shapes with the Method groove face. A versatile, tunable roll.”
The Method Converge (2013) tried to blend two of Nike's putter ideas at once: the milled precision of the tour-proven Method line (the family whose grooved face Tiger Woods putted with) and Nike's RZN foam. The head is built in two pieces with a layer of lightweight RZN sandwiched between them to shift mass to the perimeter and raise MOI — Nike claimed a 10% cut in dispersion — plus a grooved RZN face insert to soften an otherwise firm milled feel and get the ball rolling end-over-end sooner. The signature trick was CounterFlex: a 70-gram weight housed inside the grip that you slide up or down with a screw at the butt, tuning how counterbalanced the putter feels. It came in blade (S1-12) and mallet shapes, letting a golfer dial stability without changing heads.
Notable rather than collectible: it belongs to Nike's Method putter line, which carried real tour credibility (Method grooved-face putters were in play at the top of the game), and its in-grip adjustable CounterFlex weight was a genuinely distinctive feature for 2013. But the Converge itself is a plentiful, mid-priced used putter with no scarcity or hunted-model status; Nike's 2016 club-business exit lends the Method name mild interest, not a premium.
Fits a golfer who wants counterbalanced stability and a quieter-handed stroke — helpful for players who get twitchy or decelerate — and who likes a firm, clicky milled feel softened slightly by the RZN insert. Pick the mallet for more forgiveness, the S1-12 blade for a traditional look. Players who dislike a pronounced click at impact or who want maximum feel feedback should try before buying; several reviewers flagged the firm, pronounced sound.
Launched 2013 into the counterbalancing wave that followed golf's anchoring-ban debate, competing with Odyssey's Tank/Versa counterbalanced putters and TaylorMade's Ghost Tour/Spider mallets. It followed Nike's earlier Method and Method Core putters and preceded Nike's final putter efforts before the 2016 exit. A modern analogue is an Odyssey counterbalanced Tank or a face-insert milled putter like an Odyssey White Hot OG with a counterweight — same 'add stability via mass management' idea.
Middle of the putter forgiveness range and above a plain blade. The two-piece RZN construction and perimeter mass raise MOI, and the CounterFlex counterbalancing adds real stroke stability — reviewers rated it among the more stable counterbalance putters of its day and 'deadly accurate' from short range. It is not a max-MOI fang mallet, though: the blade S1-12 is less forgiving than the mallet versions, so the score reflects the line's counterbalanced middle, with head shape moving it up or down.
Calibrated across the whole catalog — a tour blade scores low here on purpose; it means control, not ease.
Realistic 2026 private-party value is roughly $50-$110 depending on head shape, condition and whether the original CounterFlex grip/weight is intact; missing the adjustable weight or grip hardware drops it. Nike-putter interest from the brand's club-business exit keeps clean examples from bottoming out, but it is an affordable used putter, not an appreciating one.
Reading is one thing — hitting is another. Book a bay and see the numbers for yourself before you buy anywhere.
