Most people play with putters that are too long for them, usually by a couple of inches.(Pelz who is about 6'6" usea a putter that is 32 inches long) If you need to cut it down you can back wheight it by the amount you cut off. Pretty simple process. There has been a lot of work done by shaft types where it shows that weight near the hands has more effect than weight in the head.( Yes putters just came out with something on this.)

Allan,

Back weighting would have the opposite effect of what you are trying to accomplish. Back weighting, adding weight to the grip end of the shaft, decreases swing weight. When a putter is shortened, the swing weight goes down. Weight needs to be added to the head to get the swing weight back up. It can pretty easily be done by putting weight down the shaft, but most (including me) believe that changes the location of the sweet spot. It can also be accomplished with lead tape on the head, but depending on how much the putter is shortened, it could take a butt-load of tape!
