Opinions or insight please!

I am in the market for a Scotty Cameron Circa 62 putter. From what I understand this model only comes in one length -- 35", however I am in need of a 33" model.

My question is: Can the shaft be cut down to 33" without affecting performance/balance etc? I've gone to GolfSmith and received different answers every time (one time they would say "Sure, every other manufacturer allows you to cut their putters down" .... the next time they would say "No, you can't .... try the new Studio Select").

Can anyone shed some light on this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

yes you can cut it down and you have a few options after you do.
1) try it as is, you might like it.
2) lead tape on the sole of the putter, 2 strips fit side by side.
3) I was at a golf show this weekend and the Golf Pride guy suggested lead tape under the grip for balance.

You can also add tungsten powder in the shaft and pack it down to get it back to the correct swing weight. It gives a different feel (which you don't want in a Cameron) but the swing weight will be correct. I hate to say the same thing as Golfsmith, but I would go with the Select.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
