I have an idea it may be stupid, but thats what forums are about with it. I was thinking of making a putter with a wooden shaft, one of these http://www.golfsmith.com/products/4225 and a leather grip.

Will a wooden shaft work for a putter, if so what wood would you recomend.

the old sticks that were made of wood were hickory. I have 2 of them. 1 is a putter and the other is a "spoon"

I have one of those heads and as luck would have it, I'm going to stick a shaft in it tomorrow and put into play soon I hope. Sorry, this has nothing to do with your wooden putter idea but I'll bet that it'll be a cool club. What might even be better though would be an 8802 style head on a wooden shaft. Good luck with your club. Simp

I've heard they used Hickory, just keep the termites away

Thanks for the help. I'll try to find some hickory and get this thing done by summer. I appreciate the suggestions for other clubheads but I am a lefty.

I have an Otey Crisman putter with a hickory shaft, leather grip. It is a mallet type with an aluminum head and a brass insert for the hitting area.
