Restore a 2nd Hand Scotty Putter

[kurisu]

Hello folks,

I found a '97 Teryllium Newport 2 on a local auction here at a great price and in great condition so I jumped on it.

Apparently the previous owner cut the shaft at 33" and now the swing weight is measured at B-3 (!! !!) and so I want to restore it to its original specs.

Since it's quite costly and cumbersome to send this putter to Scotty's Custom Shop from Japan, I am planning to have it reshafted and regripped here in Tokyo.

My question is, what kind of shaft (brand/model/weight) is standard in this Tel3 ? I looked on Scotty's website and apart from the original length (35"), there's not much more information.
Can some of you guys give me some clues?

Much appreciated in advance

You sure you want to restore it? I bouight a Newport 2 oil can on auction several years ago that the previous owner had taken one inch off of. It turned out to be the most accurate putter I ever used.

His putters don't have brands on the shafts to indicate who made them, but I would venture to guess they are True Temper. They are the only real big company in steel shaft, now that they own Rifle (makers of Project X). Scotty's new putters all have stepless shafts, but until a few years ago they all had steps. I can't see to find putter shafts with steps though.

I haven't putted enough with it yet, but it feels really light. Too light.

Thanks for the links! I've also seen nice shafts from Nippon, but am trying to restore it as close as original as possible.

One other question, anyone knows what grip came standard with that series? (yes, I may be a little too anal about this thing… :-p)
