Will I Notice a Swingweight Different From Going Down From a 35' to a 34' on My Putter?

[gel mibson]

i purchased a special select newport 2 off the shelf that's 35" (it originally comes with 30g weights).  realized the club is too long so i sent the club to get reduced down to a 34".  the caveat is that i didn't change the weight.  a 34" comes with 35g weight off the shelf and i wanted to know if there will be a noticeable difference in the swing weight to justify getting new weights.  i haven't gotten much of a chance to test my putter before sending it to scottycameron for customization so i don't really have a good baseline to determine if the club will be too 'light' or not.  am i overthinking this?  thanks

The heads are the same weight for current Cameron putters. They just put in different weights for the length as you know. It may feel a bit different, lighter. You can get replacement weights.

You need to hit it, not ask us.

We can't answer how you will feel about a weight change in a putter. Everyone will have a different preference for how a putter feels based on numerous elements.

Also remember to not jump to any conclusions based on a single putter session. I would use it at least a few separate times to allow your body to adjust to it before making a decision.

If you are a scratch player probably if you are above a 5 or 6 probably not if you are more than a 15 it won't matter

Probably not, A 35 foot putter is pretty long though, you're going to cut a foot off of that? You're  putting with a tree as it is....

Oh and by the way your putter will be what I use for my clubs length for any drops or winter rules in own fairway.

All kidding aside: Not that much, though, it may feel slightly lighter cutting an inch off.  There are ways to make the swingweight stay the same, however. 

Lead Tape might be needed.
