I put a post on here the other day saying that I had bought a new FUTURA PHANTOM putter. Since then I have been looking around online and have seen that people are really dedicated to these putters. There are collector conventions, websites, forums, and even a music video on YOUTUBE.
I know that these putters are great, but why are are people so dedicated to these putters?

People aren't so much dedicated to the off-the-shelf models, but rather the custom ones, and the reasons are similar to the reasons people collect art or other items by craftsmen.

Spend some time reading on thecameroncollector.com but be careful....you'll find yourself wanting more and more wands....and even the custom ones.....you could spend a fortune on putters.

I suspect it is exactly like Iacas stated in that folks collect these like other valuable collector items. It is far removed from golfing...going into the realm of "collectorhood"....a whole different hobby.

I don't have the bug personally....but I can understand it.

I have another question. Are the collectable putters that much better than a normal putter or are they just more rare? And do these guys play with these mega expensive putters or are they all show?

Some of them are made of perhaps more "desirable" metals and they are unique in that they may be one of a kind or one of a select number. I think the collectable status is the main factor.

Many off the rack Scotties or other brands are just as functional and feel great. Many are also adjustable either by a proshop, you or the manf. to fit your needs.
