I have always putted better when placing a heavier shaft into a putter. I guess it is similar to the counter-weighting a lot of people are discovering in recent years, but much easier. Now several shaft manufacturers are selling "heavy" putter shafts for the right reasons:1) they promote a smoother stroke, 2) they keep the wrists from breaking (not sure why, but it works for me) and 3) they have no effect on the ball roll.

I really like by 52" chest high putter. I can stand up straight while putting. Hold it to you chest with you forward hand, hold that hand still, and put with your back hand (good or lefties or righties). It dramatically simplifies the swing. For heavy putters, google on "heavy putter" and "boccieri" They make a markedly heavier putter than almost all others. I have one and I like it. You can get their putter in various lengths up to chest high. I am also 6′2″ with back problems. I really like by 52″ chest high putter. I can stand up straight while putting.
