I've had my old Scotty Cameron Newport2 Studio lie and loft adjusted to perfection... huge difference!
Going through your video catalog here very intriguing just trying to absorb as much information as possible. Thank you for sharing. Also yes I have had my putter bent two degrees up recently and it did help me some I can tell the difference for sure.
Awesome video! no other person on youtube explains it with as much detail as this dude! Thanks for the knowledge!
Jim, what a great video my friend super clear on the methodology of bending a putter, show just how to do the job . Also shows somebody having it done for them that it also has its pitfalls if not done correctly. Please keep the vlog coming Jim, my own repair shop is very here I’m the Uk is on lockdown so no customer’s.
Peter Price Where abouts in your repair shop mate?
faz889 Lancashire Nr Southport. We’re are you based ... ? But like Jim, some people send me work to do for them by postal services.
Peter Price brilliant. Do you have a website with a price list? need a putter bending.
Thank you! Hard to find basic advice on how to use some of the bending tools. Much appreciated!
As ever Jim many thanks for an interesting insight into bending Putter shafts.
I recently went for a Putter fitting and found the whole process to be fascinating. I have always struggled with lining my Putter square to my intended target, what looks square to me is actually open. So after testing a number of Putters with different alignment aids, we settled on the Odyssey Stroke Lab Exo Marxman which has a prominent line on the top of the Putter which really helped me to get the face lined up correctly.
However, once we settled on the correct Putter the fitter started to ask detailed questions about the type of Greens that I usually encounter. Apart from in the hight of the British summer the Greens I play on are usually pretty slow and the grass can be quite long for Greens. Also, I mainly play early mornings when there is quite heavy dew of the Grass, so the fitter recommended that we set the Exo Marxman up with 3deg of loft to get the Ball up and rolling.
What was also interesting was that when we measure my existing Putter it actually had - 1 deg of loft which helps to explain why my Putts were always coming up short!

Hi! Great video again! Will adjusting the loft and lie of a putter affect the face balance?
Right I'm bending this putter that I've always hated n maby I'll like her then , thanks Jim for sharing your knowledge 👍
Cheers Master Jim 👍
EXCELLENT VIDEO, you know your stuff
Hey Jim, great video as always!
Worked on my Odyssey Mallet putter extensively, shortened it, drilled and painted a black dot for centering, added lead tape to the back of the head for better feel. After many trial and error on the practice green I went from my stock putter SW of C8 to my current SW of D4.
I wish you were near by I drop in for a putter fitting session with you to see if my putter needed adjusting. Can’t justify buying the tools for that.
Excellent professional insight into putter bending but it looks like it’s a job for an experienced club maker / precision engineer and not just any pardon the expression “ run of the mill “ golf professional.
Jim great informational video, quick question what is your insight or opinion of bending a putter 7 ~ 7.5 degree loft for a arm lock setup? Probably would use a plumbers neck mallet putter head.
Thank you for your time,
Jake
What did you use ? My daughter wants me to make her a armlock and I want to get the right putter to start with lol
Do you know of any company where you can buy a putter off the shelf with more loft so that you can forward press? I wouldn't even mind a website where you have to order a custom putter. I just can't find any way to get a putter with added loft from the manufacturer. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
Never had a putter bent but I recently used a bending machine (old style) to bend a Maltby STi OS Iron Head which is bendable to 2 degrees. I was able to bend it but it left marks in the hosel. I was sweating bullets the whole time worrying that it was going to break.
I’m a leftie and want to have a longer grip that allows me to hold the grip against my inside lead right forearm parallel whilst stroking /rolling the ballon the green? Where can I get a good wrist lock grip and do I need to extend the shaft it a few inches and is it possible to use it as is without bending it to increase loft? Thanks Sincerely Love your channel and always find your explanations and demonstrations very instructive and fabulous. Maurice BC Canada
Good job, you know your stuff.
Thank you Jim!
excellent video
How do you adjust a putter with Stability Putter Shaft? The change in diameter is a problem
What about face angel when you bend a double bend putter?
great as usual
Can you bend a putter with a graphite shaft?
Thx for this! You said the over the hosel type is easy to bend, but I don't think you explained how to bend them. Am I right to assume you just side the bending bar over the end of the shaft (which is itself over the hosel), and just bend? Or do I need to remove the shaft first so that I can put the bending bar directly on the hosel? Thanks!
Hey. I was wondering can we turn a normal putter into Armlock. I have an old scotty newport 1.5 studio select laying around and didn’t use it for a while. And i am thinking that I will turn it into an armlock putter. Soo is it possible to do so? Or my putter will snap if i change a loft that much?
Great video.
Does anyone sell an insert which goes between shaft and putter that allows for bending? It would likely be made of the same metal used in bendable Kirk Currie/Slazenger putters, or I believe Rife has a similar setup. I can’t find a stand alone insert anywhere. Reason I ask is I have two identical putters, Fisher Talon, and one came with the insert and the other without. Also are these bendable inserts legal. Not that it would be helpful but you could bend the putter mid round if you wanted.
Jim, I've got a couple of putters in my rotation right now one of which is a Odyssey Double Wide Armlock. If pulling the shaft on this is it possible to install a straight putter shaft instead of the single bend? I'm looking to cut this down to standard length and install new wrist lock superstroke. Many thanks from Scotland
Hey Jim, I'm on the verge of buying some club building tools for myself and I've learned a lot from all your videos so thank you. When you're bending a putter are you bending the shaft or the hosel? I have a spider s putter that I believe is an over the hosel setup with no neck and I'm thinking about delofting it by a degree or two. I'm not sure how long the hosel is inside the shaft. But regardless I should be putting the bending bar as close to the putter head as possible correct?
Would be interested to know about this too Jim
Awesome content. Question: Have you ever added length to a Wilson 8802? Also why are all 38 inch putters either counter balanced or heavier putters?
Jim I would love to see video how to bend - double bend putter shaft - thank you
I could use some advice, planning on bending a double bend shaft on a taylormade ghost belly putter to try and set it up as a armlock. Was planning to go a touch more upright and bend the shaft for the forward lean as the head has 2.5 degrees of loft so ya that won't work. Am I wasting my time? Can it be done?
It can but be very careful you are bending the shaft not a pin,
What is the maximum you can bend a putter? I have a ping Nome belly with adjustable shaft that was in my old man's gear and I've been left with it, I use a long putter, found this video trying to see how much more upright I could get it, then I will look into head weight etc
Pings are a different animal but you should get 2 degree at a minimum
I was told by the fitter at the proshop a putter can't be bent and all they did was shorten the shaft to make it lie flatter.
that's so sad!
Major variation on greens here in Ireland so I decided to make my own machine, they can't be bought over here any chance you know where I would find the degree graduation parts?
If it’s a home built unit its hard to say what would work. I would contact golf mechanix he ships everywhere
Great video, looking to buy a loft and lie machine, just a DIY'er looking to tinker with a bunch of putters I have. Any recommendations new or used?
golf works has just such a tool to get start check them out
can you bend a double bend face balance putter to have toe hang?
yes but it would be very flat. You might look at a reshaft to take out the double bend
Hi Jim...This video made me curious about something. I bought a 'chest high' putter a few years ago and ended up not liking it, using the full length. I had it cut down to normal length and have been using it for a while. I am curious if the shaft angle would be the same as a normal putter and also if the putter's loft is just a normal loft...since it was once very long originally. I'm curious if I should change both the angle and loft or if I should just let it be. I like the putter head but haven't been putting great with it. Tendency is to pull putts and sometimes overcompensate and push them. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks very much..... keithi@mts.net
keith irvine tall putter were very upright, going to a shorter putter was popular but bending the shaft can be a challenge
What is R&A and PGA rules regard lie angle for putter. Long putter, broomstick. Is there a limit to upright angle. I prefer standing close to ball.....thus requiring a almost 90dgr angle preportional to ground level and shaft. I believe 90dg is illegal. What is limit!
80 degrees I think pal
@@gazowen7719 you're correct. Rules say putter "must diverge from the vertical by at least 10 degrees".
Too much yakin not enough bending... 11 minutes didn't bend one single putter flat or upright. these old timers love to hear themselves talk $100 this guy is so lazy he just tells any customer who walks in that they can't have their putter bent because it's going to mess with the structural integrity
but you learned something in the process didn't you. I wonder who will collect the $100.
