Blackout putter shaft

TheLongBall · August 15, 2019

So the putter I have now is the TM Corza Ghost and I can't knock it out of the bag. I want to throw a black shaft in it, but I'm having a hard time finding somewhere that has that shaft with the neck that's needed. Are there any other options? Or if any of you guys know where I can find one of these shafts to buy that would be ideal.

From pics, it looks like it's a straight post with a double bend shaft. Plenty of those on the interwebz. Search Golfworks and eBay.

Where it gets tough is when the post is on an angle/single bend.

It hasn't been too long ago that double bend shafts started coming in black. KBS has matte and gloss black in .370

Apollo apparently has one as well. But not sure where to find it other than this one on eBay.

Up to this point many have been using shrink wrap/electrical shrink tube.

Actually it's a single bend; I found it on the archives on TaylorMade's website. I initially thought it was a double bend as well

Did you check GolfWorks? I thiiiiink they have some black single bends but you have to match up the sizes properly. If the bend point is different than the OEM's it will also affect toe hang, so always best to check about that, too.

I don't think the toe hang is listed on their archives...

Awesome...thanks for the link. I'm going to search around and see what others I can find as well

@Z1ggy16 I just checked Golfworks and it doesn't seem that they have the shaft

Z1ggy16 · August 15, 2019

That one linked looks good but you still have to check if the ID of that shaft is a match for the post of the putter. I mean, worst case you just use a shim or something but if you guess wrong it's just another step you need to take.

And I'm not sure if there's a universal standard with single bend as far as the bend point goes.. Just compare it to your current putter and trim it if need be.

This is why I only do slant necks or L necks usually ;)
