Ping Redwood putter shaft (plumbers neck)

[backintheswing]

I have a Redwood D66 putter head on the way from the states. I need a putter shaft or info on who makes a .342 tip size shaft. Is that a common size. I have just found online that .342 is the size for the Redwood series and that may not be totally correct.

Will a Scotty Cameron putter shaft fit?

I have about 2/3 plumbers neck shafts lying around.....
Prob all got S.C Shaftbands on them?
Try a wedge shaft, youll have to get a new one though as the tip prep will look ugly above the hosel....

[backintheswing]

Is that these ones:

If so I would be keen on the 33.5" stepped and no Shaftband

[Captain Nemo]

Yep, thats them..
Let me take another look tonight.
They are proper plumbers neck shafts, so like 1/2" tip prep etc...
I have an Orange Gripmaster Putter grip, as new as well.
Ill never use it, not sure of the model though?

[backintheswing]

I just went and had a look at my Redwood Anser. It is a stepless shaft. Have a look and see if you have any of those.

[Captain Nemo]

I def have a stepless, from memorey it plays 33" in a Select Newport.
Ill pm you tonight with what i have.

All Ping's plumbers neck putters fix the shaft in the head by ramming a ball bearing down the shaft with extreme force and it's a total pain to remove that ball bearing or the shaft. If you do a search on Golfwrx you'll see plenty of stories.

Once you get the shaft out it'll take a standard .370 tip putter shaft.

[backintheswing]

I think the later models don't have the ball bearing. This is also a plumbers neck, so not sure it is .370.

[backintheswing]

It was definitely .342. The shaft I received off Titleist was .350 and it need a little sand down to fit in.

[backintheswing]

I am chasing another shaft. I have another Anser head on the way. The shaft needs to be from a plumbers neck putter and needs to be .342.

What have you got L? :D

[Captain Nemo]

I'll check the stock tomorrow morning.
Pretty sure I have another one.....
