You can do that route, but I prefer the pipe cutter method.
GO to Home Depot or Lowes, plumbing department, and tell them you want a 3/4" pipe cutter. You want to get a bigger one because it will have a bigger knob to turn and put tension on the blade and the shaft.
It is a pretty simple procedure, and it will leave a nice clean cut, with the butt tip just barely curling inwards the cut.
I typically add some lead tape to the butt end to balance the putter out, I typically use the same weight as the weight of the piece of shaft I cut off. But then again, I have some nice scales at home where I can go to 1/100th of a gram, so it may not be possible for you to find out how much you cut off. But typically a strip or two will work.
Good luck, and any questions, just pm me.
