nobmontana Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 Ever since I experienced the Dogatti PT putter shaft several years ago when it was introduced, I always had the shaft in at least one of my putters. The head naturally needed to be one that would accept a 9.2mm ( .355") diameter shaft. Like a plumbers neck type head. So I had the shaft in an anser style head most of the time. However, someone at Mitsubishi came up with a shaft adapter that would allow installing a carbon putter shaft on a head that has an over -the-hosel type neck. It's not the most pretty result, but heck, I like the shaft so much I decided to try this method on one of my over-the-hosel Benock putters!! A couple of Dogatti shafts on order along with these putter shaft adapters from Mitsubishi! Will post pics once I have one built. In the mean time, here is an example of what it would look like.

D22marshall Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 Not the cleanest look, but gets a result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted September 2, 2022 Report Share Posted September 2, 2022 It’s ok. Bit too untidy for me. If I liked the shaft that much after all the tinkering, deciding it was the putter shaft. Heck I would just have the putter hosel changed to accommodate, If I wanted a more professional look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Benock Pantaleone in a plumbers neck would not do itself any justice! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corky3 Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 I think LAGOLF were supposed to be producing an over-the-hosel version of their shaft. That would surely look better than an adaptor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would surely look better than an adaptor. I looked this up.... but they provide zero explanation of how this is achieved and no info on the inner diameter of the tip. If its a single piece carbon fiber tip, I'd be too worried about the tip section breaking due to the wall thickness being too thin. Only way I can think of is to make the shaft with hybrid construction a la Bi-Matrix with a metal tip section and cover the connection area with a nice heavy coat of paint. :) Aesthetically, that would be better for sure.

Aesthetically yes Nobs. But your attracted to the Dogatti based on feel ? Will be interested on how these builds turn out. Hopefully you have come across a solution.
