As a shorter person (5'3) I am often using cut down putters. After doing allot of looking for putters I've noticed that very few putters actually change head weight. Thus the swing weight for a 35" putter (D2 -recommended) can very greatly from a 33" putter (Now a C0 - way too light). See the link for a great chart on putter swing weight.

I like how the New Scotty Newports have adjustable weights, I just wish there were more inexpensive options.

I cut down a Mizuno Bettinardi putter, which I now find much too light.

just add some lead tape to the bottom. almost always the shorter the shaft the heavier the head and vise versa. I'm 5"9 and my putter is 32" inches and my coach said its perfect for me. the length depends on how comfortable you are. you dont want to have your arms to strait or too bent just relaxed

What I Play:
Titleist 910 D3 9.5* Diamana 'ahina X-stiff  | Titleist 909f2 13.5* x-stiff | Taylormade Rescue 19* steel shaft stiff |

I cut a Circa 62 down to 33". And put the same grip on both my Newport 2 33/350 and the Circa. I added enough lead tape to the bottom of the Circa to match it's weight to the Newport 2. They feel the same. Their swing weights are the same. They both are at C-7.

I'm 5'9" and I also have a Circa 62 #3 cut down to 33" with a lot of lead tape on the bottom. It's heavier than a 33" Newport with those 20g weights in it. Can you order the SC's with heavier weights? If so where?

I m almost 6' but i have long arms. I cut my 35" SC to 34" and the SW reduced to C6.

Although the ideal SW is D2 , but i am used to both C6 to D2 bcoz i found the grips that fits my hand the best .

It is the SC Baby T Grips ( OEM from Golf Pride )

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
