Hello from college park, MD. GO Terps! Though i spend a ton of weekends in the VA beach area ( in -laws ). I'm Fritz, only been playing 5 years now, and decided to stop the club ho-ING this year, and work on my game. I'm always up for a round preferably during the week. Would love to meet some more folks in the area that play!

I can't even count how many times I've seen posts on various forum's asking where to buy black putter shafts. Happens all the time, and while swapping a putter shaft is pretty easy, this is a whole lot easier.
All you need is polyolefin heat shrink tubing. Just take off the grip, slide it down over the shaft, and then apply heat.
Today I decided I wanted a black shaft on my Evnroll ER5 putter. Here's the before picture.
I already wanted to change the grip so I just cut it off with a utility knife and cleaned up the grip tape. Then just slide the tubing over the butt end all the way down to the head. Make sure to get it all the way down because it will shrink a little bit when you heat it up. A quick tip is to just heat the very end next to the head, maybe the bottom 2". Then you can still push it down again so you don't see any shaft next to the head.
Here's the shaft all shrunk down before the grip goes on.
I blow my grips on with air so after that step I just put on one layer of blue painters tape and then blew on the Superstroke for the finished product.
All done! Quick and easy matte black putter shaft. Took me about 5-10 minutes total time. The best part is that this stuff comes in a ton of different colors so it's easy to create a very unique putter. I should also mention this stuff is dirt cheap. You can easily find 15' for under $10 shipped on ebay. That's enough to do 4-5 putters depending on what length you play.
If you're interested just search 5/8" Polyolefin Heat Shrink Tubing on ebay and find something that looks good.
