golfernut78 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 i'm looking at getting a used putter in which the shaft was cut from 35" to 33" and to maintain the weight, the shaft was filled with sugar. has anyone heard of doing this and would this affect the putter in any other way than just the weight?

zojo Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 how does the sand work? how does that effect the putter? the same way sugar works.... I've never heard of using sugar in a shaft, sounds kind of stupid if you ask me. Honestly, I think you should never use some kind of substance that can deteriorate or something with heat or moisture. Sand or lead powder I can understand, but sugar can be a mess. Wouldn't it dissolve and get all sticky in wet and humid conditions or also hot conditions like the trunk of a car? IMHO, either stay away from the putter or replace the shaft. That would be something that I wouldn't want to mess with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfernut78 Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 i understand the sugar sounds odd. my question, whether it is sand or sugar, what does this do for the performance of the club, filling the shaft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAQ Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 i understand the sugar sounds odd. my question, whether it is sand or sugar, what does this do for the performance of the club, filling the shaft? Hey gnut. Sand adds weight to the putter. Lead works too. Forget Sugar. Those things are a pain fool around with though and most people will use lead tape and add it to the cavity of the putter.

ErichF Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 You can use a tampon for shock reduction. I would recomend that you use for heavy flow. Stuff it down the shaft. Presto home made Sensicore I've seen it done, Erich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
