What Putter do you use?

[Wet Doggg]

Rife Trinidad - 34" with a SuperStroke grip...absolutely deadly.

I use an Odyssey Golf Black Series-i 9 Mallet Putter 35"

[andemw01]

Wilson Staff Kirk Currie II center shafted. One thing I will not change in my bag, though always play with putters at stores. 35" with custom sightline added to top by Colbert Plating.

i use a scotty cameron newport 1.5, what a putter, lovely roll and feel!

[villegolfer]

I now use a 35'' cameron newport 2 studio select. This was preceded by: cameron detour, ping b61 (re-gripped and still in garage), cleveland classics I, hagen tour milled WH-2, and an STX Greeny 1. Despite my previous indecision, I feel pretty settled on the newport 2.

Ping Karsten Anser, 34"

What's tour issue? The putter or the headcover? If it's the latter, that's 100% ridiculous.

Cant someone just stamp their own T with a circle around it on a putter or headcover?

What's tour issue? The putter or the headcover? If it's the latter, that's 100% ridiculous.

The market Scotty Cameron has created for his rare, quantity controlled, "Circle T" headcovers (and to a lesser extent shirts, hats and ballmarkers with the same circle T) is an absolute stroke of marketing genius. Hundreds and hundreds of putters going for 4 figures, dozens and dozens of headcover styles going for 3,4, $500 easy.

Not to slap on your putter and take to the local muni, but to keep in pristine condition (NIB new in bag and NOOB new out of bag affects value). The majority of collectors treat them as collectibles, buying, selling, upgrading, trading, etc. The putters themselves are art for many people. The thing is, Scotty does not see the majority of this $. He will have a limited headcover release for a major tournament, selling, say 500 in just a few hours for $100+ each. (leather covers are more desireable and valuable) They are immediately worth $200 on the open market or more. I would guess that less than 10% of them ever see a golf course. The world of Scotty Cameron - serious collectors - is out there, a bit hard to fathom, but it is very real.

The covers are very high quality embroidery, some with a gazillion stitches. So, yes you can but it would be spotted as a fake immediately by anyone who knows anything about SC headcovers. You would also ruin the value of the headcover. If it was an OTR (off the rack, non Tour cover worth $25-50, it would be worth $2 to a serious collector if you had defaced it with your own circle T. Most wouldn't even want it.

To answer the OP, I use a Scotty Cameron Studio Design 2. I had used a Ping Anser 2 from 1987 until about three years ago, when I bought my Cameron. It is a flow neck, which suits me, is the softest carbon steel you'll ever hit a golf ball with, and the best feature is the long alignment that runs the entire flange of the putter. I get to align the entire FACE of the putter instead of one little line going the other way. I never knew it, but I always aligned the Top Line/leading edge of my old Ping, not the traditional alignment line. The SD 2 is perfect for me, feels and looks great, etc. Until I someday get a Scotty Cameron Napa... That's my dream putter. They are $250-400 used, even more depending on condition.

like i said, i'll post a picture of it later.

No circle-T on the putter, putter is nothing short of a normal retail.

Two years ago, i attended this clinic at my local golf club, and an LPGA pro came and was teaching us about better ways to practice, and she gave my swing coach a bag of putters and wedges which he gave out to all of us. there was a SC headcover in there, and i did what any other golfer would do and i went straight at it.

There's my true story that STILL nobody believes to this day. as soon as they hear that a SC putter was given to me free of charge they stop believing.

I almost pulled the trigger on a used centre shafted Odyssey this evening. While looking for information on it (black insert) via google, I discovered the Odyssey in my bag is the same model that G. McDowell used to win the US Open.

This is it.

It's been used for three seasons so far, so you can see the stitching around it wearing off. the velcro is not very strong anymore and it overall just is worn down. but it's a legit circle-T

if I were you I would stop using that headcover,lol

[Chewey56]

Yes. yes i am. i'm getting a Rossa during the winter, so ill either use the stock headcover or find some fun collegiate or novelty headcover to go with it

[Bryan SD2]

Motteler....

That HC is too worn to have much value anymore. Especially the Circle T and other areas. Maybe $10-$20 for someone that has a similar cover already and wants a beater, or someone who wants a bad weather Circle T cover. The large majority of Cameron Collectors will avoid it in my opinion.....
