i personally dont like ths scotty mallets, but if you like it go for it. I reccomend that you do buy on ebay, because you can save alot of money this way.

I don't get why you would ask us.... you're the one who's going to be using it.

We can't tell if it feels good to you.... only you can do that.

I like the built quality and feel of the Scotty Cameron but I putt better with the Never Compromise mallet putter, I had 24 putts in my last round with the Never Compromise.

Love the Scotty Red X 5....very sweet on alignment, condusive to a nice forward press and the feel is sublime.


Wonderful mallet. Scotty did well with this one.

I fell hard for the Red X3...my intitial draw into the Scotty putters. My stroke evolved a bit and led me to my current wand. Had I started with a Red X5, with the plumbers neck, I may have stayed with that putter as it would fit my stroke and set up nicely....slightly open-square-slightly closed / natural arc, with a slight forward press.


Ask "Todd" on here.....I believe he just added one to his bag. I haven't had a chance to talk with him and see how it's working for him.

They had one left at our pro shop marked down to $200 from $275, and no sales tax since it's on a military base.

You can get them cheaper than that for sure. I wouldn't pay much more than a buck 25.

I'm using this one.

I think $300 is too much for a putter.

Not disagreeing with you....it is a heap of money......however, look at the number of players who will shell it out for a new driver ever season or two.

$300 for a club that you'll hit ten times a round vs. $300 for one that you'll use twice a hole????? That sales pitch worked on me at least.

The numbers just don't work for me. A modern driver is a product of complex, high tech engineering. A putter by comparison, is a simple product of imagination and machine shop time. I could go into a decently equipped machine shop and make a copy of virtually any putter I've ever seen. Not so with a driver, which takes very specialized engineering, design and manufacturing techniques to work with the titanium, steel and exotic composites used today.

The value just isn't there in a putter like it is in a driver.

    • Why should SuperSpeed get 3x of Stack's profits? I get the part about SuperSpeed wanting damages sustained as a result of Stack, but I don't get why SuperSpeed feels that they're entitled to both Stack's profits and damages.   Does anyone know/think SuperSpeed actually has a case here?
    • https://static1.squarespace.com/static/603d222df4a6a57df7ef3e29/t/663cdba5d89e3a1848dab8d1/1715264422455/US_DIS_ILND_1_24cv3749_d34676497e293_COMPLAINT_filed_by_SuperSpeed_Golf_LLC_Jury_Demand.pdf The full complaint is there, but  basically, SuperSpeed (SS*) is claiming the Stack System (SS*) Stack System’s [sic] produces inflated metrics later used to, [sic] mislead and deceive consumers. Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.
