We got some questions about how to lengthen a putter, so @Canadan walks you through an alternative way to do so without a new shaft or traditional extension.

Fantastic video guys.
Never knew you could use an wedge shaft to extend a putter like that.
What would you use to extend iron shafts or even graphite?
Would you use epoxy for those clubs on the extension?
I want to note something. You definitely don’t want to do this method with graphite. There are plenty of graphite extension options available which is your best bet.

Great video! I have extended many putters and have used pieces of shafts before but usually use a steel or aluminum extension. They are very inexpensive.
Very well done! Nice explanation - I'm far from being a diy-er but enjoy learning what goes into club work. Never would have thought of using a wedge shaft as an extension.
Build clubs for 15 years and there's one things you'll have no shortage of... old iron shafts. Some are sellable, but some are basically tomato stakes or putter extensions.It’s funny how easy it is with the steps in the shafts. It’s not exactly a cheap solution but it will work in a pinch especially if those shafts have been sitting there for a while doing nothing.
I’ve used iron shafts to extend a putter or iron many times. Obviously the shorter the plug end of the extension the less weight is added but it’s nothing dramatic. Grips do more to impact weight.
If given plenty of time or the fit isn’t tight it’s never a bad thing to use epoxy.
That was a great idea and really well done video. I've taken putters in to the store to be extended before and could have totally done it myself. Thanks for sharing that guys.
And that putter is sweet!
