Thegolferdude Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I reshaft my Ping B60 putter. It was not easy at all to get the old shaft out lol. I replaced it with a steelfiber P125 putter shaft. All I can say is wow!!!! Made an old favorite even better. sirchunksalot, Dweed, cnosil and 1 other 3 1 Quote Golf one of the greatest games been playing for most of my life.

You'll have to tell us how you like the steelfibre shaft; most reports I have read say it is underwhelming.

Thegolferdude Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 I’m only comparing the steelfiber to the original shaft. I think it has made a great old putter better. I’ve play a few rounds with it now and I like how the club performs so far. BallsLeon, cnosil and Dweed 3 Quote Golf one of the greatest games been playing for most of my life.

Is it more of a flexible shaft or the ultra stiff profile that most graphite shafts follow? Why do you think it is better?

Thegolferdude Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) I like the weight it added to the putter. It clocks in at 550 grams now, the original shaft was lighter. I play amt white s300 in one set of irons and c-taper s+ in another set. I’ve always liked a stiff heavier shaft. The steelfiber seems as stiff as my c-tapers s+.

tiger168 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 How is it better? In what way is it better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegolferdude Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) I believe the steelfiber adds weight and stiffness/ stability over the original steel shaft. The couple rounds I’ve played with it, I feel like I have more control and my putting stroke is much smoother. This is helping the ball to roll better and have a bit more accuracy.

Thegolferdude Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 Had to drill a hole in the bottom of the hosel and hammer it out with a punch. The shaft still wouldn’t come out that when I broke it off and chiseled the rest out. I used a rivet to cover the hole I’ll post a picture of that later.

You have to drill a hole under the hosel big enough to get a center punch through to knock the bearing towards the grip then apply some heat to soften the glue, remove the shaft.

A lot of work. either you have to love that particular putter much or someone has to pay enough for the trouble. I'll just slap some lead tape on the head and call it good.

Thegolferdude Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Yeah I’ve always liked the B60. I’d did all the work myself it really wasn’t that bad learned a lot in the process.
