USGA Rules of Golf, Appendix II, Part 1, paragraph d:
Alignment
When the club is in its normal address position the shaft must be so
aligned that:
(i) the projection of the straight part of the shaft on to the vertical
plane through the toe and heel must diverge from the vertical by at least
10 degrees (see Fig. II);

(ii) the projection of the straight part of the shaft on to the vertical
plane along the intended line of play must not diverge from the vertical by
more than 20 degrees
forward or 10 degrees backward (see Fig. III).

Richard K, my dear friend, my machining mentor, maker of the finest head

R&A's books which restrict lie or lofts for putters. Lengths? Yes. Lofts?
I don't think so.

*I've messed with a couple of these D*** things for way too long
(due to bent shafts) trying to make a new shaft. I ordered
(supposable) ready to install double-bend shafts from GS & GW that
also was a No-Go..... they were close but not anywhere alike the
original.
Save yourself lot of grief, for $25 (and 10 days) Callie will
replace the shaft and grip built to your specs.....*

Pat,
I was hoping that someone else would reply to this one with a
good technique. I have bent the shaft on this putter, but it
was a REAL PITA. The shaft was almost impossible to bend. I
ended up having to heat the shaft almost cherry red before it
would do anything. I got most of the scorch marks off the
shaft, but there was definite discoloration.

never bent one of these putters with the crimped shaft. Is
there anything I should be aware of before I try this?
