Does anyone have an over the hosel putter shaft they could send my way? The putter is a Wilson fat shaft with a CI5 stamped on the hosel. I picked it up off Scottt who picked it up off 3oneday who stole it off a smurf. ( yellow iomic grip and about 50 cm long)
It needs an ID of at least 11.5mm or .46" as close as I could measure with the vernier calipers.
Golf Smith have them, but Id see if could get one local first. I mean, if I placed another US order Id have to buy some more heads, grips, shafts etc etc to justify the postage. It ends up costing me heaps. :)

I think Scottt may have had the same question.

Left field idea 1. With the thicker diameter hosel, could it be hickory shafted?

Left field idea 2. Could you get a fat shaft out of a $10 Wlson wedge or 5 iron from the odds-and-ends bin at the driving range?

Edit. Ignore LF1, i only just comprehended over-the-hosel in the title.

I dont know anything about the "fat shaft" caper. Are the irons an over the hosel set up as well?
Time to start Googling

Oops no it isn't.

The prices have gone up over XMas... the shaft is $23 + GST and True Temper are not open till Monday week.

Bugger.

Do you still want me to order it ?

Yes please Virge, Im saving myself $$ by not ordering from the states. I wouldnt mind a few things I dont really need.(just yet anyway)
You did note the size of the hosel didnt you?
I must say the Golf Smith site confused me a bit, they dont specify which diameter they are referring to I.D or O.D of the tip.

No worries... you will have to wait for True Temper to open - but I will get it ASAP.

I will put the order in tomorrow, apologies for the old pricing.

If you want to spend the cash - look up the newer UST putter shafts. That shoudl keep you online for a while.
