I have two putters that are nearly identical. They are Carbite ZG mallets with double bend shafts. The one I got first was my brother-in-law’s old putter that he gave me. The head is pretty beat up because he never used a head cover, but I love the look and performance of the putter. So, I went on Ebay and found one in near new condition and bought it at a very reasonable price. When it arrived though it had an aluminum double bend shaft and is noticeably lighter than the original with the usual steel shaft. Needless to say, it doesn’t feel or perform the same.

While I’ve worked on my own clubs for 40 years, I have never removed or replaced a double bend putter shaft. How difficult would it be to swap out those two shafts with each other? I have a bench vise, but no other special equipment that might be needed to align the shaft correctly and hold it in place while the epoxy cures.

I would welcome any suggestions from Jim or Brett or any other members of the forum…….

Best way to do install a double bend into a head, and be sure it’s square, is to use a golf club gauge. That is the way we do it and most club manufacturers. I suppose you can eyeball it, but that’s not a great way to do it. We have a video on our website showing the procedure for shafting a double bend shaft. The video is not great quality, so apologies for that, and I think we did it about 15-20 years ago, but it’s still applicable. The link to it is below:

Might be able to take some of the procedures from the video and still get it done without a golf club gauge, but it is best to use one.

Thank you for your reply Brett. I have watched the video, and since I do not have the golf club gage that you reference, can I have the work done at the Golfworks?
Also, can the double bend shaft be adjusted to flatten the lie?….Can you do that as well? How would I go about having this done……I get to Newark a few times a year and could drop the putter off at The Golfworks.
