    Talking Bending a Centre Shaft

    Does anyone know if this putter can be bent 3* flat?

    I'm pretty sure I read about Jim Butler (owner of Table Rock) bending a 2.6 flat for someone by standing on the head and just bending it. So you can always try that if you want. Myself, I might be a bit more cautious.

    Any chance you could just bend the shaft near the hosel, or would that affect the balance or other putting 'dynamics'?

    The putter is face balanced. By bending it back a few degrees may move the centre of gravity back a bit. How much it will affect it, I don't know.
    With the short hosel I'm not sure whether it will even fit in a putter bending machine.

    When I had my phantom mallet 2 and i wanted to bend it a few degrees flat I took it to Don at Artisan and he actual put a slight bend in the shaft a few inches up fro the head. It worked perfect and there is no chance of damage to the head and the fix is just a shaft change away.
