I have putted with these several times just trying them out and fell in love with them several years ago but because I was in college at the time could not afford to splurge. The price was right today! The one thing I noticed and like the most about this model is how nicely it lines up when addressing the ball. The damn thing just putts so true. I dont think anyone can go wrong with one of these! Happy golfing. Just baught the Titleist Cameron today... used from a teaching pro for 100 bucks, the putter was in perfect condition.

I also bought a new cover off eBay for $22. I'm really excited to get it, and take it on the course.... I;ve used the Rossie 2 (loved it, don't know why I dumped it), 2-Ball DFX (okay, most days), Nickett Pipe (way too bulky)... Just purchased the club (used) @ Golfsmith.com for $70/free shipping.

Bought one used and loved it. I always bounce around on putters, since buying I have had a Cameron Studio, 2 ball blade, and 2 ball srt. I always come back to it. I feel like the 2 ball blade keeps the putter more on line in practice, but the Phantom has great feel on the course. I am putting it in the bag for good.

I did use the odessey 2-ball for years, but the superior set up aids on the phantom 2 and the superior feel and touch says it all. Scotty makes the best putters regardless of price. I purchased one for my brother...and he loves it!!! I thank my friend who convinced me after two seasons to spend the money and buy/try the Scotty. That was the best advice I ever had on the golf course. It is a very sweet putter. Try it and you will become a fan as well. I purchased a phantom 2 about 3 months ago.

I love this putter, but...there's nothing original about the major majority of SC putters. This one and the Futura are as close as he gets to being original. All the rest are copies of someone elses work! I have the Mallet 2 version that is the center shaft and it has the alignment aid dots between the heel and the shaft.

Over the last 10 rounds I've changed my mind. The feel and distance control with this putter is unreal. My playing parterns, both single digits and duffers alike, have all asked to give it a run and all have been hooked on it's performance. The only negative is the price. In my opinion, taking 5 strokes off a round is worth $300... I've always been a big believer that it's the golfer and not the clubs. Over the last 10 rounds I've changed my mind.

Those two putters are both a black mallet head and a bar around the parameter. What an insightful deduction! Let's look at your Snake-Eyes... Stainless steel head. Urethane Epoxy insert. Horizontal cavity. Stainless steel parameter weight. Cameron: Milled Aluminum head. Stainless Steel Parameter weight. Oh...they are both black. Let's not even TALK about the fact that Snake-Eyes' primary business is copying other people's innovations. Maybe the "Strike Line 1" was out first...does it matter? People like to jump on Cameron because he's more successful with his putters than most. How many tour wins did Snake-Eyes have last year? What about this year? If you want a $19 putter...go for the Snake-Eyes...I'm sure it's worth every penny. Oh...to answer your question... Scotty designed the C5 just last month...Rory Sabatini won the Nissan with it. JB Holmes used a Circa 62 #5 to win the FBR. Arron Oberholser used the Futura to win at Pebble Beach this year too. You asked for one...I gave you three. Keep the change. Now go find me who he "copied" on those three putters...and while you are at it. Find me a "Snake Eyes" victory.

Are you kidding me? How does it NOT resemble the Snake Eyes Strike Line I? Name one SUCCESSFUL innovative putter Scotty has designed? (Futura, his one and only original putter was a sales flop.) So sure, his putters have pretty nice craftsmanship, but if you like to buy a $500 Anser, you might as well bend over too... Only took notice of the Futura Phantom just now! Are you kidding me?
