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 |
Titleist ZB 3-PW S300 | Titleist BV SM 52-08 58-12  | 34" Scotty Cameron California Del Mar | Penta TP

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 )

    • You’ve yet to propose anything else. And yet it was, and the rules tell you how to deal with it. Your question has been answered. The Committee can declare them GUR. I disagree with your assessment of common sense. 😀 And yet they didn’t really change this one. Looks like this is about wrapped up? “That Rule is So Unfair!” A Rules Geek’s Generalized Guide to Hot Takes and Overreactions | Rules Geeks I apologize for the length of this post. If I had more time I’d have written a shorter one. – Erik J...  
    • When you are penalized for hitting into the sand trap the penalty is having to hit it out of the sand, not out of three inches of water. A sand trap is not the same as a water hazard. A sand trap is not supposed to be under water. It is a unique condition caused  by weather and poor drainage. Most local leagues like ours allow the free drop in this type of situation, as long as there is no area in the bunker to legally drop. This is what I’m talking about, sometimes the official rules of golf don’t align with common sense. That’s why they are finally starting to change them. For example, when wind blows your ball off the green. That was a stupid rule. People being able to call the tv network to say they saw a players ball move. That was a stupid rule. I’m just saying, these are rules made up a long time ago, and it’s time to modernize them.
    • Consider it another way: normally, it's a two-stroke penalty to move your ball out of a bunker (unplayable). The ACC reduces it to just one.
    • No, hitting into a hazard that is supposed to be avoided and is designed to be penalizing is not the same as hitting it into the middle of the fairway.   You are penalized because you hit it into a hazard. Based on your logic let's say you hit it into a red staked penalty area and you could normally play it but it's in temporary casual water from rain. Would you expect a free drop from there too??
    • They could have declared it GUR, sure. It is. It's temporary water, and as I said before, an abnormal course condition (ACC). That's what rule 16 is about — ACCs. No, a bunker ≠ the middle of the fairway. You are penalized because you hit it into a bunker. As for the rest… let's stick to the topic. Yep.
