Putter Shaft Question

[Joe081484]

Has anyone tried the new UST Frequency Filtered Putter Shaft, I was wondering if this thing actually works, for $58 it should put the ball in the hole for you. Anyways they say it improves feedback from the putter face which would be nice. I copied the link to the product page from golfsmith below.

On a side note does anyone know the shaft specs for the Odyssey 2 Ball Putters

Joe,

There's definately a different feel with the UST frequency filtered shaft. To me, it was very reminiscent of having a sound slot cut into your putter feel wise. The putter was far more "clicky" if that makes any sense?

Whether or not that feel is worth $60 is up to you.

From a clubmakers perspective, the shaft is significantly lighter than comperable shafts, especially in the butt section, so you can expect a change of about 2 swing weight points upon chaning.

For the Odyssey 2 ball, you would need the 2 plane double bend shaft I believe. Call or send the UST technical staff an e-mail and they'll be able to tell you for sure though.

Yea I figured I might give it a shot over the winter, I'd like to get into clubmaking so I figure this might be a decent project for me. Also I'd be doing it to the Center Shafted version of the 2 ball forgot to mention that, I'm waiting on Odyssey or UST to tell me which fits the putter the .355 or .370.
Thanks for the response.

I have been reading the forums for a while now...great forum and great info. I have a question about my current putter shaft and thought this would be the thread to post it. I own a Oddessy Tri-ball putter, which I really like, but have been considering shortening the shaft. It is a 35" shaft and I think I may want to go down by about an inch to an inch and a half. Would I be better off buying a new shaft and having the current one replaced, or can I have a local shop shorten the shaft. I read that trimming the shaft at the tip versus the grip end on a regular club can cause effect/performace changes, will this happen with the putter? Thanks for the help.
