Switching putter shafts

[the great spinks]

A friend had a meltdown and sold his TM Spider with a stability shaft to me for a song yesterday.  I had been looking for this shaft to throw on my PXG blackjack.  I've never dealt with removing putter shafts from existing builds and putting them on another putter.  Are there any issues with doing this?  Both have .370 tips, so no issues on that front.  I'll pay someone who does club work in the area, my question is more about the integrity of the shaft after having it removed from the Spider.  

Thank you in advance for helping this simpleton.

Like other shafts, putter shafts can be pulled and replaced or in your case put into another putter.  BST shafts are nice because the bottom portion is steel so you don’t have to worry as much about damaging the graphite; which is possible on an all graphite shaft.  The only potential issue might be finished putter length;  I didnt look at a picture of the two putters to know how/where the shaft attaches.  If one neck is longer than the other you will have a different finish length than the prior putter. 
 

if you were asking about pulling the steel tip from the graphite portion of the shaft that is a different answer.  I have both positive and negative posts about being able to do that.  Based on your question, if you were doing this, I would definitely leave that job to a professional.

Perfect.  Thank you!

Another thing to consider is swingweight. This is going to change for the better or worse depending on what you like. I would have it checked after the build to see if you need to add lead tape to the head or a heavier grip.
