Cutting down a putter

[Kor.A.Door]

I really liked the the look and feel of the old discontinued model of scotty Cameron GoLo, I have possible found one on the bay for a good price, but it is the 43" belly model. I was wondering if cutting the shaft down to 38", and put a counterbalance putter grip on it, whAt would happen to the weight and feel of the putter, or would it work fine.

I've done that before and it's worked out fine.  I would just make sure the loft and lie would be ok.  You should be able to look up the specs of both models online and compare.

Thanks for that reminder, I will make sure to do that if I get it.

Done it loads, my garage is like graveyard of the belly putter.

 

It's nice and easy, lie and loft is only a slight issue. Some great flat sticks out there very cheap, just with a long shaft.....

Great idea kor, be sure to post pics of your putter project.

It will change the swing weight, obviously.  You may want to see what the head weight of that putter is because often belly/long putters have heavier heads than traditional length putters do.

Beyond that, the lie angle may be different

A number of years ago, I bought a Mizuno Bettinardi putters that was a belly putter and was cut down to 35" and it worked just fine.  Sure, it had a heavier feel to it but theres was nothing about it that made it difficult to use and some people like a putter with a heavier head.

It's gonna be really really upright.

Hey.. resurrecting this quickly.

 

I'm on the hunt for a 34 inch putter but most are 35 inches.  

 

If I regrip it and cut it down from 35 to 34 is there any risk?

 

I understand this is a big problem with irons/wedges, etc. but not sure what effect it might have on putters.

 

THANKS!

you should be fine. I've had a 2 ball that I went from 35 to 34 to 33 back to 34 on. I still miss the putts the same as before! Jk

I prefer my putters at 33" Cut 35's down all the time. Works fine.

I had my Yes cut down from 35" to 34" and it's still in the bag.

I cut a Rife Aussie down to 32.5 from 35. I can't tell a difference other than it fits better.

Scotty makes a line now specifically designed to play at 34 inches. Cameron and Crown line. JAT

I just got a SC Kombi S that was 43" and had it cut to 33"  The only issue for concern was the shaft wide enough at 33" to handle the Golf Pride SNSR grip?

 

The Technician said no prob so it was cut to 33".

 

I will be using it next week at Hilton Head....

Hey Rookie, I believe it's 33" rather than 34".
