Belly Putter Question

[cvlngineer]

I was in the pro shop the other day and saw some belly putters. I had never even seen one, so I had to try them. It felt fantastic, so I bought one.

I have been putting very well, for me, with my conventional putter recently, but I am going to try the belly putter out. I have always been a square to square putter, so this will be quite a change for me.

My question is: If I just can not get used to this style of putting, can I have the shaft of this putter cut down to 35" like my normal putter? It is a Rossa Monza Spider putter, which is the putter I have had my eye on, so I would like to keep it if at all possible.

Thanks,

Not that I have had the experience, but it sounds like it would work? I mean, my first set of clubs were cut down, so couldnt it apply to all clubs? I was thinking about getting my Sabertooth in a belly putter style, so Ill keep in touch with this thread.

Thanks for all the help

Im sure you know, this forum is kind of slow. It takes a while for some good responses to come in. Give it time, youll get some good tips.

Cutting it down will probably mess up the balance of the putter.

short answer, yes... but could be difficult. A stock OTR belly putter will have a different lie angle

You'd have to find a shop that could adjust your lie angle back to something similar of a conventional short stick

balance is a personal issue, can't answer that one there
