Solid video man. I appreciate your relaxed vibe. Feels like watching a friend

Great video! About to do 2 putters next week as soon as the shafts come in. Thanks!

whee yay my first re-shaft. I didn't have a new, flawless putter shaft so I used a new iron shaft. It is an A/R combo flew (a stepped FST 115) instead of Stiff, but then again I didn't just cut down the butt -- I cut off about 6 & 1/4" off the tip, stiffening it up plenty. I was going to leave either 6" or 9" between the hosel and the first step, and 9" felt flexy whereas 6" felt more like the original (flexing/gauging by hand, which: I did used to gauge roughly this way in archery with some accuracy over time). And I cut about 4" off the butt so that the whole putter was the original, comfortable length. The new shaft weighed the same as the original once cut. I got a nice Golf Pride classic putter grip since this is a vintage bronze Tour Model 103. An off brand I suppose, kinda like the budget new shaft, but a lot nicer than the pot metal Tour Model 103 of today. Totally different shape and weight distribution -- this bronze putter is the best all-feel, all-me, non-mallet putter I've ever used. Love it. Well, it might technically be a mallet, but very light comparatively. Thanks!

Great informative video. Be cool to see a breakdown of your workshop.

Nice video mate, bet your a very popular neighbour 👍😂

[@OtterLakeFlutes]

Thanks... my beloved vintage brass/bronze/berylliumCu (something like that) putter has the weird, short, little hosel and made me wonder if it was a different procedure

I am planning on machining a putter head and couldn’t figure out how to attach the shaft, so thanks! I’m going to order the shaft so I can measure the tip diameter. Then I will know the diameter to mill the hole opening. Can I ask what kind of epoxy you used to attach the shaft? Also, I am wondering what kind of solvent you used to wet the double sided tape so the handle would slide on so easily? Thanks in advance for any input or advice! I am excited to make my own putter. I work in a machine shop and can program and have access to 303 stainless steel and all the tooling I need to do this project so I’m looking forward to getting started on my design and program.

Excellent video

[@KoonceLyfe]

Nice video man. Thanks!

[@andrewmccullough9334]

Any idea how to remove a single bend shaft that is glued directly into the head?

[@motty147]

Hi any tips on pulling a putter shaft on a head that has a pvd type finish? Worried when I heat up the hosel I could do some cosmetic damage. Thanks.

[@p.celebsoutdoors5300]

Could you send a picture of the stuff that you use for mounting putter head and also grip?

[@frederickportillo1394]

Very cool shop!

[@proudconservative1]

I have a Ping adjustable length putter which I hate. I'm having trouble finding a source to either buy a graphite or composite shaft. Any suggestions?

[@cindamitchell9683]

I have an old candle stick holder, the putter part has broke off from base. It's all putter. I would like to know who I would take it to in order to get it attached Thankyou

[@michaelw4756]

Could you put a different kind of hossle on a taylor made Spider putter that has a straight shaft into the head. Idk the correct terminology but I prefer a bent hossle where the shaft meets the head. Similar to the putter in your hand in the beginning of this video. i dont want to pay for a new putter when i have a taylor made spider already just with the wrong hossle shape.

[@legaleagllkeys853]

How do you reshaft a putter where the shaft goes directly into the head of putter

[@georgegerard3977]

excellent, thanks

[@kennyg63]

Are all tip diameters the same on putters? I have seen putters without hosels. I am guessing you can not change shafts without a hosel.

[@tfont6972]

Will gorilla glue epoxy work alright for putting the head on?

[@reddaf5]

what was the solvent used when gripping??

[@AkshayPatel-sl9ir]

I'd assume some sort of mineral spirits, or maybe a low pct. alcohol

[@donm8260]

It’s just called “grip solvent” it’s sold at any golf shop

[@joeauci1930]

were did you buy the black shaft?

[@guitarMonke]

KBS sells black putter shafts

[@donnachalyons3904]

Have the same putter in the brushed chrome finish, will never get rid!!!!

[@hillbillybassfisherman8181]

is a EVNROLL putter the same as this i was looking in case i want to change my new putter shaft to a double bend callaway shaft i not see evnroll with a double bend shaft

[@hillbillybassfisherman8181]

i never changed a putter shaft i built all my clubs but the putter.but i going to custom this one i did custom my putter

[@bertraminc9412]

I would only apply the flame to the shaft only so you don't discolor your putter.
