Please tell me if this is stupid or not. I want to cut down my belly putter to around 37-38 inches. I have a odyssey dart with a super stroke slim grip. I was thinking of using a razor knife to remove the top 1 inch of the butt end. Then using a fine hack saw to cut through the grip and shaft at the 37 inch mark then using the razor knife to remove another 1 inch of the existing grip and replace that with the butt end I removed earlier. I also want to add a clevis pin inside the shaft to add counter weight.
I'm tired of my belly putter and I've heard of people doing this and want to give it a try. I know the conventional way would be to remove grip, trim, and replace with new grip, but would like to keep my current grip to save a few bucks. My main question is am I screwing up using a hacksaw to cut through the shaft? Thanks.
