Does putter shaft get stiffer after shortening?
About a year or so ago, I had my 35" YES Callie putter shortened to 34". At the same time, I also installed a Tigershark larger handle putter grip. While I don't have any actual statistics, I KNOW that increased practice time on the putting green and these changes have helped my putting significantly. I suspect that I've lowered the number of strokes per 18 hole round by 3 or 4 in the past year due to the above changes. I am even thinking about having the putter cut down to 33". I've tried a couple of 33" putter in the PGA Superstore and they seem to offer even more control. Here's my question though: Is it likely that cutting the putter down anymore will cause the shaft to be stiffer ---i.e. slightly less flexible and therefore impart more force and speed to the ball with the same amount of effort as before? (i.e before the putter was cut down[again]). If so, is their a point of diminsihing returns in terms of gaining increased control by cutting putter shafts to shorter sizes?
