Re: shortening putter shaft?
Andrew and Harry,
I'm not sure what side of the fence I fall on, but in the past I have added a heavier shaft, tungsten powder under the grip and 3 layers (6 strips) of lead tape to the sole of my TM Daytona ASGI. I never measured the swingweight, but the heftier feel is what made the putter work for me. Since my wrists don't break when putting, having a heavier head isn't as important to me. Having said that, I'm now putting well with an unmodified Odyssey Black #9. At 34" and headweight of 350g, it's enough heft to not have to add weight. I've thought about adding some weight under the grip to stabilize my hands, but I don't want to wreck the goodness that's happening right now. Hmmm....now I'm thinking about adding some powder under the grip of my 34" White Hot #9 and having myself an old fashioned putt-off.
Putting is such a personal thing. A buddy of mine is lights out with his Scotty Cameron. I tried it and it felt light as a feather and I couldn't get anything closer to the hole with it. To each his own I guess.
To the OP's question. Cut it to get your hands in the right position for your stroke. As mentioned in other posts that's more important than anything else. Have the lie checked afterwards.
