Stepless putter shafts

[3oneday]

Anyone know if there is any perceived benefit in these over the traditional stepped shaft in a putter ?

[oncewasagolfer]

I think perceived would be the appropriate word.

I have bought one 3 but haven't put it in, then my old man nicked on me to use it. Have to get another one. Doubt it will fix my horrible putting stroke but I was keen on trying it to see what difference a putter shaft makes for my own knowledge.

So before every back yard clubmaker jumps in to tell me it makes no difference I don't care it's just a testing for my knowledge.

I might grab one regardless I think.

Pete,
where you getting them from and how much?

[3oneday]

Waiting for a reply from clubmate-golf.com.au.

[virge666]

True Temper do them for about $15 a throw by memory.

Surely people are getting desperate when they think a putter shaft will affect performance :roll:

With or without fluting?

It's mainly a feel based thing...

the stepped/stepless issue is more or less the transmission of vibration that is sensed by the hands. Each shaft does it differently. Think of driving a BMW 320i and then jumping into a Merc C200...very similar cars, same size engine, similar pricing etc but the driving quality and 'feel' is different.

It will NOT really affect performance in a technical way but will affect feel...and putting is all about feel. It's also a VERY cheap golfing experiment - especially considering you're on OzGolf !

Do I get a hat to busk with too ?

[kwantfm]

Doesn't the 2.6 have a stepless shaft?

virge: have any of them frequency filtered shafts by UST?

When you say 320i, are you talking about E46 or E90? :mrgreen:

Yeah we have them - they are about $70 though... I am considering one in my oddy as the shaft in it has been extended and rattles a bit.

I had one in an old scotty and it does produce a different sound when hit correctly. Quite a cool idea.

Personally I like a much softer putter shaft - A flex for example.

[TourFit]

I prefer the feeling of a stiffer shaft....so does my wife !!! :razz:

[3oneday]

Yeah, she said that.

^beat me to it:) just realized my yes tracey II has a stepless shaft maybe that is why I am such a good putter;)

Are stepless shafts more likely to bend or break when you try to break them over your knee or bash them against something?

Could be a definite benefit if you could take out your frustrations with fewer worries.
