IMHO, it all comes down to feel. Whatever feels right to you will help you manage all kind of greens, fast and slow ones.
I set my 2ball up to D4.

D4? WOW 8O
How? Add weight or change grip?
All my clubs are heavy. D5 and even higher in my wedges. So, D4 is actually light for me.
Yes, I switched grips. But to a heavier grip than before. Picked the grip I like on my putter, not to cheat the swingweight.
To get it to my exact weight I did the following:
First added leadtape into the cavities and played a few rounds until I figured out what feels perfect to me. Than I went to my clubmaker and weighted it to know where I'm at. Took the leadtape out and filled up the cavities with epoxy (5 min) and did a quick grind job just to figure out how many swingweight points the epoxy alone will account for. Weighted the club again and than took out the epoxy again.
Cleaned the putter and put little stripes of leadtape in to account for the missing weight and make sure the end result will be D4. Than I re-did the epoxy job with 24 hour epoxy (easier to work with and smoother looking) cavity by cavity. After about 2 days I was ready to sand it down (by hand) and give it it's final shape. Last but not least I used some clear silicone shoe polish to seal the epoxy and give it it's rich charcoal colour.
Took a bid time to do but it simply looks awesome.
Btw, I used clear epoxy and mixed it with black touch up paint. This means you can basically use any colour you like.
