Does cutting down the length of the putter mess with the weight?

I've always used a 35" putter even though I am not a tall person at all. I'm only 5'5", but I always just choked down to the end of th grip and putted like that. I've gotten used to it and it works. However, I went into the pro shop at my home course and they had an old seemore putter that was cut down to 32".
When I held it, it just felt right. One of the guys in the pro shop said he doesn't like cutting down putters because it messes with the weight of the putter.
I would like to get my putter cut down to the same length, but not if it's going to change the weight of the putter. SeeMoreGuy They Make 'em. I Buy 'em.
With such a significant change of 3" my guess is that would alter the weight but I will defer to the more experienced in this forum. Why not just grab the used Seemore putter? Those with adjustable weights may or may not provide different weights; they'd prefer to sell you the weight kit. I have cut down lots of putters and didn't adjust the weight; didn't feel any different to me but others may feel a huge difference.
Member: MGS Hitsquad since Ping uses the same head for 33,34,35 inch putters. You can add weight to the head, but most players won't feel much of a difference unless they are a handsy putter. It's not like a full swing club. Depending on what grip you have, you can also change the feel back towards standard by installing a lighter grip. But for the other golfers , including myself, could definitely feel the difference by simply chopping the OEM putter shorter.
For me, it'll come in the difference in feel, which will influence the distance control. Also aim, for I use a modified swing gate type of putting stroke which has a slight curve from back and through the golf ball. I can putt with just about anything, from the modern putters all types to the early 20th century butter knife to using the leading edge of an iron never liked the fairway wood for balance preference.
It really is how long would it take for you to adjust to the new feel. If you're not playing competition golf the week after you made the modification I also know a few golfers whom claims that they must have the same feel in a putter to be able to score well. Cutting two inches off a 35" putter just happens to result in a feel I am very comfortable with.
Anyone elses mileage may vary! My question would be if a clubfitter added weight down the shaft or in the form of a tip pin to a putter to compensate wouldn't it affect the face balance of the putter?
January 5, That makes sense to me. Numbers never lie! NCGolfer January 5, Just to add to the conversation. Don't be afraid to cut it down a bit to see if you feel better with a shorter putter. I went to a local shop and played around with 33" and 34" putters. Eventually I settled on a 33" even though I'm a standard 6' tall.
What I did do is add the heaviest weights to my Monza Corza. I didn't have to, but it felt better. I liked the feel of the heavier putter with a short shaft, so I went with it. Just give it a try and you'll quickly find out if it isn't for you. Awards, Achievements, and Accolades.
January 9, I believe that your putter head will then be too heavy for the length of shaft.. I could be wrong but the weights are different. Say a 35" putter will have a heavier head than a 33" putter will I thought about doing that but was advised not to I trust the person that told me, he has been in the club making business at a major retailer for quite some time.. Good luck. The trend is going with heavier heads on putters, plus and heavier to calm the stroke.
Cutting two inches off a 35 inch putter would make for a whippy feeling club for most players. While it is correct that a heavier weight head is needed on a shorter shaft to maintain swingweight, the majority of manufacturers in the world are not manufacturing different weight heads when they offer multiple lengths. Because swingweight in a putter is an uninteresting number it comes down to personal preference as to what feels right to the individual. Scotty Cameron does indeed make different weight heads to create different length putters but he is the exception not the rule.
While Scotty Cameron putters tend to run in the D6 swingweight as the norm it is not to say that C4 is not what I putt the best with. Cobra LTD Pro 9. I cut em even shorter to Shaft taper is definitely a problem, though, as mentioned above. Other thing to look out for is the lie, but that can be adjusted. My guy moves the shaft bands for me, if they can be saved. If it's a parallel. That'll save your shaft band, if that matters to you.
Just measure the shaft two inches up from the hosel insertion point and if it's the same diameter there as it is right at the hosel, then this is a valid option. Unlike a shaft on any other club where tipping 2" would change the flex drastically, for a putter, I'd say this would be fine. You can post now and register later.
