Hey I have had my eye on the Matrix Graphite putter shaft for while now. I know its completely ridiculous, but I have the extra cash to burn, and my wife gave me the go ahead if I want to. My concern is whether it would fit on my 2013 Taylormade Ghost Spider S Putter. My current putter shaft is straight. I have no experience buying aftermarket shafts. I was looking at the 145 gram shaft, because it comes stock at 36 inches and I will cut it down to 33.5 inches (my current putter length). As I mentioned the main idea is cosmetic (I like fancy things), but I am also interested in any feel difference there is between the steel shaft and graphite shaft on a putter (I read somewhere that there is a bit of difference). I'm sold on keeping my putter around for a few years, so I figure, why not give it some more bling. Golfsmith has them for a price I am willing to pay (plus shipping costs), so that is where I plan on ordering it through. There are obviously better things to spend the money on, but I figure if it fits, why not.

Thanks

Shaggs

$140 for a graphite putter shaft!!! You could get a whole new putter with that. I would think a graphite shaft would really dull the feel of impact on the putter face. I don't believe I've ever seen a pro playing a graphite putter either. Seems like a waste to me. If you want a change of feel you could get one of these much cheaper. http://www.golfsmith.com/product/30039914/ust-mamiya-frequency-filtered-370-putter-shaft?cm_vc=vc_cs_pp

I never cared about the price of it. I want the graphite shaft primarily for for what it is. I mentioned already that I know its a bit of a waste of money, but I have the extra cash that I can spend on it and if it would work I will buy it.

Well if the wife already gave you the go ahead and you're still having enough doubts to ask for more opinions to justify the purchase, I'm thinking you're going to end up disappointed.

All I was asking is if the shaft will fit on my the hosel of my putter. Not anything to do with if it will feel different or drastically change my putter. I do not want to order it and find that the diameter of the shaft won't allow me to attach it to my putter head. I was under the impression that some putter heads attach to shafts different than the norm, so I was just wanting to make sure it would fit fine before I ordered it. Sorry if my original post was confusing and lead people to think I was concerened with how it would affect the putter itself.

      I have an update… I don't have much of a response, because the fact that they would ADD the numbers for the lead and trail shoulder together… I mean, wow. I was giving them too much credit. Nobody would think to assume they were doing THAT. That's beyond comical. One of the biomechanists I talked to put it this way: "So if I squatted down and went from 180 to 90 deg knee angle, then I would say 180 deg range of motion because I have two knees?" I'd type more (maybe), but honestly, I'm laughing a bit too hard. 🤣 Update: Mini Manavian blocked me on Instagram, so I cannot see his post showing Bryson with about 50° of range of motion (with a driver) from P4 to P7, and 75° only if you go out to the mid-follow-through. What a terrible loss for me. 😉

      Thanks, interesting to read. The swing is definitely very timing dependent. I hit it consistently I guess but consistently bad.

      I've shot 91-74 on the same day before. Couple of years ago played a two round tournament on Bethpage Black. I shot 72 in the first round and 90 in the second. First round I played very well. Second round I played okay, but had about 5 shots that hit the lips of bunkers and bounced down into them. A couple of those wound up in footprints - I was unamused - and I failed to get them out. Anyway - lots of bunkers and my bunker play isn't great and then add a couple of footprints and me getting pretty tired and it added up to a lot.  Only you can really tell though what's causing the variance. It might be that your swing is very timing dependent and when it's timed well you play well and when it's not then it goes all over the place. In that case, some lessons and working on your swing could be the key. If it's more that you tend to feel like you hit it fairly consistently, but you have days where the shots come off and days where they don't, then that's more likely a course management issue. If that's what you need to work on, then you could read Lowest Score Wins and build a plan of attack based on that.  Rest assured though that a pretty big range from high to low is fairly common. Even PGA Tour players often have 18-20 shot spreads from best to worst rounds in a season. It's a common affliction among golfers.
