HOW TO LENGTHEN A GOLF CLUB FROM HOME WITHOUT A SHAFT EXTENSION



I EXTENDED THE LENGTH OF MY PUTTER FROM HOME!

In todays video I am extending the length of a SCOTTY CAMERON PUTTER which has been cut down to 32″! I am going to restore the length of the putter back to its original length of 34″!

There’s a problem! A normal steel shaft extension doesn’t fit!

  1. Gaz, my irons are +0.5” which I didn’t know until after I’d bought them. In your opinion should I just grip down on them, or trim them to standard length? Would it affect the swingweight a noticeable amount?

  2. I’m just an amateur, but I’ve done this in the past with old shafts also. What I try to do is fit to the very last “step” that will go in, so that the extension will be almost flush with the club shaft. If you don’t have calipers or a very sharp eye, you’ll probably need a little trial and error cutting. Take care Gaz.

  3. I've used the method you demonstrated and, in a pinch, just a plain old wooden dowel. When I butt trim a shaft I always save the cut off end.

  4. I'm sure there are more than a few of us wishing we could give ourselves an extra 2 inches in less than 10 minutes.

  5. Gaz, this is funny timing for this video. I had everything ready (old club) ready to get cut to add a 1/2 inch to my putter. Was about to cut and ended up finding an extension in the tool box.
