GoBuffs11 12 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Do some shafts taper more? I put a gravity grip on a friends Scotty and there is a noticeable gap at the bottom end of the grip between the shaft. I’ve put this grip on an odyssey and Taylormade with no issues. Any ideas? I guess I could build up the bottom with tape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siamese Moose 726 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Is the putter shorter? I use a short putter and a long grip, so I always have a gap at the end. I have built it up with tape, with an increasing number of layers as you get to the bottom to account for the increasing taper, maxing at 4 layers. 2 Quote Moose, my cat, is Siamese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBuffs11 12 Posted June 15, 2021 Author Share Posted June 15, 2021 (edited) Thanks all. The putter is 34” so not too short. I will try to build up with tape at the end. Edited June 15, 2021 by GoBuffs11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the rubber ring at the bottom of the Gravity Grip is manufactured slightly larger than necessary to grip the reduced diameter of the shaft at that point. Shaft taper varies, but unless the bottom of the grip is actually moving around this is strictly an issue of appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katke87 1 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 In my experience, all Scotty shafts are a bit undersized in the butt end and require some tape buildup for the first 2-3 inches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyBobby_PR 9,246 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Scotty Cameron uses a KBS shaft that is proprietary to Scotty putters.
