Wes Short's putter shaft

Can't believe knowone noticed!

Hey Guys,

I can't believe no one noticed Wes Short's new putter shaft. It's not often that there is actually something truly different out there on Tour, yet no one seems to have picked up on it!
During the past several weeks, a number of Tour players have been testing this (very cool) product. And then out of the blue, unheralded, Wes Short put it in play last week and has a top ten putting week. One week later, he wins!!
If you haven't heard about this shaft, it actually filters specific vibrations (at certain frequencies) that are constant, whether to hit it center, toe, or heel. But allows the distinctive vibrations (the ones that change) to pass through. It's similar to filtering out the static!
Unfortunately, it won't be available for a few weeks. I know a few of our Accra dealers got some for testing purposes only (not for sale), but call your favorite clubmaker and they should be able to get one to test in November.
Whenever you get lucky and have a product win on Tour just weeks before it's scheduled introduction it's pretty exciting, so I thought I'd share it.

Any good club repair shop should have them in early November.

Are there going to be different sizes for different putters? BTW anyone know if it will fit in a Cameron? I'm going to have to try one of these.

They are available in virtually any bend or length as the straight ones are in a blank form where you must trim to your specs. The bent ones you will butt cut to length.

Thanks - MSRP = 59 based on thoughts over there. Going to have to give one of these a whirl. Already have a great grip to try on it - the stitch back!

That was the first thing that came to my mind. UST Shaft, Gripmaster Scotty, and now I need a Scotty Tour....

I heard about this shaft on the Golf channel and they say that this shaft will be released early next year. My guess on the retail value is probably around $100.

Hey TMR5,

This shaft will be available for a lot less than $100.00 in November of this year.
