Re: Getting a putter shortened

Without getting into the guts of it:

Remove the current grip
Measure to 33"
Cut at mark
Install grip

Re: Getting a putter shortened

Yes, LP, good to see you didn't too long winded in your explanation....

At the risk of sounding whatever it is I might sound like in saying so, if you like a shorter putter, can't you just choke down on the grip a little...???

Especially if we're only talking an inch or so...???

Just thinking out loud is all......

Cheers

Well, there's 'detail-ly' things that I left out (like methodology, how to try and save the putter grip, how to align the new one, which side of the kerf to cut on, backweighting and swingweighting - you know, those things).

But in the interim, I like your solution.

Re: Getting a putter shortened

I am in the middle of tweaking my clubs and my putter espcially so I love this ?.. My ping putter is 35in and I like it around 31 or maybe even 30.5
I cut my current putter down and it feels ridicoulous on the weight of it. I would love to have the same feel at 31 as at 35 but I don't know how to accomplish this.

Re: Getting a putter shortened

Anywhere you like - preferably on the head and/or hosel. It's simply to get head feel back (so putting it on the shaft by the grip won't help much).
