gocchin Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Have always loved Nippon and thinking of giving these NSPro Premium Putter Shafts a try...: http://www.nipponshaft.com/steel_nspro_putter.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Hi T: Do you really think it makes any difference (for a putter) whether it is a Nippon or DG or Hickory as long as it is proper weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it does, just as loft lie and balance is important for a putter 90g vs 120 vs 140 vs 160 grams shaft in a putter change things up quite a bit. Gocchin, You G-Field premium zones already have the 130-140g version in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranghips Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 My G-Field Premium Zone has one in it, nice shaft but I am not convinced that there is much difference between putter shafts of equal weight! In a putter I look for balance, feel, overall weight, comfortable grip, ease of alignment. My Nippon iron shafts are the best I have ever used so I am happy to have one in my putter, it gives me one less thing to worry about in the area that has always been my achilles heel - if i could put I would be down to scratch in no time!

This is exactly my point- putter shafts of equal weight with the rest (head weight, loft and grip) being equal would make very little difference in feel.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Only one way to find out I guess is to putt the same putter side by side with different shaft. It would for sure be hard to notice a difference of the same weight but put under a camera to measure skip or taken to a putter fitting session you will see there is not only a difference in the way the shaft feels but also in the way your ball rolls differently when compared to each other. I do know of putter makers and tour players who have a preference based on feel or results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
