如果你的力量大，或握的比較緊，用重一點的桿身重量會更好，也可以讓你的力量和桿子更容易達到平衡。但這樣的方式很容易讓你的手臂和手掌、手指推到後面感到酸或累。如果你一場球推下來的推桿數在33以內，那這個問題倒是不會影響你太多。但如果推桿數太多，你消耗的力量和集中力就會更大。如果你平時沒有在鍛鍊上半身的肌肉和握力，耐力就是一個問題。

對於推桿硬度來說，碳纖維的硬度都是X或更硬。因為桿身長度比較短，而且需要更加掌握精準度和桿面觸球穩定性，硬度往往都不會是核心問題。而Fujikura的MC推桿桿身是唯一一款可以選擇硬度的產品。有Smooth、Firm、Xtra Firm三種硬度。但我個人用的經驗是，一般人就選smooth和firm就夠了。用到X就會像鋼管那樣的脆度和感覺。實在沒有必要！

大家要記得一個核心觀念，碳纖維就是利用它的手感、桿身密度/厚度和掌握性。當然就是它的重量。雖然目前的品牌桿身的產品都設計桿身重量在100g以上，所以我很早就不用市面碳纖維推桿桿身，因為我的推法對於超過100g的重量都會過重。我都會用碳纖維鐵桿桿身的規格來用在我的推桿上。但會有一個重量範圍和碳纖維桿身密度要求。

不是所有的碳纖維鐵桿桿身都可以這樣用，而且桿身前端裁減多少和最後到你可以用的長度，重量會是多少？都是一個問題。這都是需要有很多經驗和對產品的瞭解度，不然裝起來卻重量感不對和操控不好。我玩推桿碳纖維桿身超過8年，前前後後玩掉的桿身都可能上百支，所以這真是血淚累積下來的結果。

對一般球友來說也不建議去嘗試。因為失敗率很高，而且沒有很多不同桿身可以去試。當然我得到很多的知識和經驗，所以我可以很快速去選擇什麼碳纖維桿身來搭配新的桿頭。對於我目前的推桿數都可以掌控在31推以內，不管用哪一支推桿都可以有這樣的結果。因為每一支我自己做的推桿，都是以我個人習慣和使用特性去做出來，用起來自然可以輕鬆自如。

基本長度都是一樣（32.50“～32.75“範圍），但重量會有一些差異，差異都是因為桿頭特性需要讓桿身重量和握把重量來配合桿頭發揮。尤其是LAB推桿的桿頭，對於重量的搭配非常要求。尤其它的Lie angle balance技術，也是讓我在配置碳纖維桿身時，花很多時間在設定桿頭的桿根朝下。所以我今天不管拿哪一支推桿下場，都不會有適應不良或不知所措問題。

所以當你喜歡一款推桿時，別忘記也要去考慮一款可以配合桿頭的碳纖維桿身，當然握把也是要用你習慣和好握的款式。有機會我會寫一篇推桿握把的心得。因為推桿握把太多了，你需要什麼推桿握把和你的握法有直接關係。推桿雖然短，但變數多到比其他桿子要多和複雜，要推好，桿子不對就別想了！

Moreover, this type of golfers use to big grip size such as superstroke in order to grip solidly. They intend to grip as hard as possible to control the putter but it makes the energy go down quickly. The weakness of this putter method is on short putting distance. Since they use arms and fingers to control the putter, if the energy run out sharply, they are hard to control the head movement.

It will be the nightmare for them to get the ball to the hole in short and mid distances. I was using this method in the early of my golf life but it's hard to putt consistently and accurately. That's why I changed to shoulder swing. It's good for all kinds of distances and easier to manage the putter.

Let's talk about the flex of the putter shaft, typically the putter shaft flex is extra stiff since it needs to react the impact right away and short length of head movement. Stiffness is key for putter to get control and feedback from the whole putting swing. Currently there is only one shaft maker offering the putter shaft flexes for golfers.

Fujikura's MC putter shaft has three flexes for golfers to consider, I personally use smooth and firm, no idea for extra stiff. There is no need to use X flex for putter shaft since you need to have good impact feel to know which spot of the face you contact and know whether or not you strike the right spot.

You need to know the advantages of graphite putter shaft are feel and manageable. If you are not looking at these two features from the putter, sticking with steel shaft. I have been trying many graphite shafts for fitting various putter heads in all ranges of weights, I know how to fit and what shaft weights can work the best on certain putter head designs.

All my putters are in specific length range but there are various weights for me to fit the putter head features. Such as LAB putters with lie angle balanced feature, it took me a lot of time to fit the graphite shafts and find the right setup for lie angle balanced for reshaft and new grip. If your putter doesn't fit your way and body, your performance will be up and down without question.

That's why you need to get fit to stabilized your putting performance. It's how I have done in past 10 years and now I can simply grab one putter to putt 31 +- 2 per round. Since my putter method is stabilized and I don't care which putter I am using, I can just get it to work.
