Cutting down OG Rossie SL or ?

ezra76 · March 23, 2023

My new playing partner is a 1 cap very knowledgable guy. He had me try a Rossie S 33" stroke lab putter and I lit it up on the back 9 after a horrendous front.

Unfotunately this putter was on loan to him from one of our states best am's so not for sale.

I'm having trouble finding one in a 33. If I cut a 34 or 35 to 33" are they the same with these putters?

I'm also open to suggestions of similar putters to try out. I'm going out on the hunt at the local shops today to find one.

If the same model just cut down and same grip then yes should be the same putter feel you felt.

Unless the shaft is different but doubtful.

I did this exactly a few months ago. If you cut it down, do know that there's a counterweight sitting at the top of the shaft in those stroke lab putters. I can't remember what it weighed, exactly, but something to consider if you're going the DIY route.

I wound up removing it & installing a heavier grip to offset most of the lost weight, but I was looking for a slightly heavier SW anyway. I'd imagine you'll have to do some slight tinkering with headweight if you wanted to go with the stock setup

Thanks guys. Still on the hunt. That Scotty fastback 1.5 was really good at the shop but all they had was a beatup 34" asking way too much.

I just ordered a 35" off Callaway Preowned. I found a 33" for same price on Ebay but it had a non factory grip and marked up a bit. More worried with a non factory grip that someone else cut it.

I'll probably get that same Odyssey fat grip it had on it. Thanks again.
