Grip solvent is definitely the best for re-gripping, but you can use white spirit or petrol, which both work well.

Can you order a high end putter and have it cut to length by another company?
Sure, or you can do it yourself. All you have to do is determine how much shorter you want the putter to be, remove the grip, cut the shaft with a pipe cutter (assuming it's a steel shaft), and replace the grip. Usually, grips are held in place with double sided tape. You need to get some solvent inside the grip and the grip will slide off easily. If that doesn't work, you may have to cut the grip off and replace it with a new one, but grips are fairly inexpensive. When replacing the grip, wrap some double sided tape around the shaft, put a little solvent on it, slide the grip back on and align it with the shaft. The solvent dries and the grip sticks in place. Good luck.

What causes your golf grip to shift over when you swing?
If you mean it's slipping relative to the shaft, then it hasn't been installed properly. Grips are usually installed with double sided sticky tape, so the stickum is attached to the shaft and the grip. The installer attaches the tape to the shaft, wets the outside with a solvent, then slides the grip on. When the solvent evaporates the grip is stuck to the tape and the tape is stuck to the shaft, so nothing moves. If it is, the adhesive has failed (or was never installed correctly in the first place. Get the grip replaced at a golf repair shop. It's cheap.
