SC Circa 62

[SideSwipe]

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.
