The double bend putter shaft is a steel replacement shaft designed for face-balanced mallet putters and certain blade-style putters with a 72-degree bore angle. At 35 inches and 120 grams, it creates built-in offset that positions your hands ahead of the ball at address, helping square the face and improve consistency on the greens. That offset is the whole point of the double bend design. Instead of a straight hosel entry, the shaft routes through two distinct bends before meeting the putter head. The result is roughly 1/4 to 3/8 inch of forward hand press built directly into the shaft geometry, which is what face-balanced putters are specifically engineered to work with. Players who tend to push putts or struggle with a square face at impact often see a noticeable improvement just from getting the right shaft geometry under them. At 120 grams, this shaft sits in the standard weight range for steel putter shafts, which typically run between 115 and 130 grams. That weight keeps the overall swing weight of your putter in a predictable range without needing counterweights or grip adjustments to compensate. It's a natural fit for mallet-style putters with face-balanced heads, including many Odyssey, Cleveland, and similar designs that use a straight-bore hosel. It also works for some heel-shafted blade putters where a touch of offset is preferred. If your putter head is shaft-balanced (meaning the face rotates when balanced on your finger), a single bend or straight shaft is probably the better call. Double Bend Putter Shaft Specification Type Length Butt/Tip Dia Weight Putter 35" .600/.370 120g Frequently Asked Questions What is a double bend putter shaft?A double bend putter shaft is a steel putter shaft with two distinct bends near the hosel end. Those bends create built-in offset, typically between 1/4 and 3/8 inch, which moves the hands forward at address and helps keep the putter face square through impact. It is most commonly used with face-balanced mallet putters. What putters is a double bend shaft compatible with?Double bend shafts are designed for putters with a 72-degree bore angle, which covers the majority of face-balanced mallet putters. Common compatible putter styles include Odyssey Two-Ball, many Cleveland Huntington Beach models, and other straight-hosel mallet designs. It also works with some heel-shafted blade putters that benefit from added offset. What is the difference between a double bend and a single bend putter shaft?A single bend shaft has one bend near the hosel and produces less offset than a double bend. Single bend shafts are more common in blade-style putters with moderate toe hang. A double bend produces more offset and is better suited to face-balanced putters and players with a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke. How heavy is a double bend putter shaft?This double bend putter shaft weighs 120 grams, which falls within the standard range for steel putter shafts (typically 115 to 130 grams). It measures 35 inches in length with a .600 butt diameter and a .370 tip diameter. What putting stroke style works best with a double bend shaft?Double bend shafts pair best with a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke. The offset and face-balanced design work together to keep the face square throughout the stroke, which suits players who do not rely on significant face rotation to square the putter at impact. Can I use a double bend shaft to replace my existing putter shaft?Yes, as long as your putter has a 72-degree bore angle and accepts a .370 tip diameter shaft. This shaft comes unassembled at 35 inches, so you or a club builder can trim it to your preferred length during installation.
