I got a great deal at my pro shop for the above putter. The problem is it is 35 inches. I am 5'7" on it is too long. I can either cut the shaft or have Ping install the adjustable shaft on this putter. If i were to trim the shaft myself and regrip, i just trim from the top? I think i need about 32 inches when I am finished.

Yes. Or you can just grip down on the club.

One other possibility as in my case, is to just learn to putt from a more upright position.

Well my right hand is on the steel now. I love the putter and the weight and ping will put the adjustable shaft on for 55.00? i think. I paid 85.00 for the putter but i hate to send it in. I was worried about balance and counter balance adjusting the shaft length. Anyway thanks for the input.

Consider getting a longer grip, which are popular now or talk to someone in a proshop about cutting down the putter and installing a heavy or counterbalanced grip. That would likely help offset any weight loss from trimming the shaft a bit.

I'd probably keep it as is, change the grip so you can grip down and try a 50g counterbalance weight in it.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
