Hey guys, I'm trying to decide what putter to buy because my old one's face is scratched up. I have looked through a lot of putters and have come down to two contenders, The Odyssey Black Series Tour Designs #9 and the Scotty Cameron California Del Mar. I have tried them both at Golfdom, and they both feel fantastic. The Odyssey's weighting was perfect and the feel was great as well. The Scotty to me had better feel but the weight was too heavy and i liked the Odyssey's head shape and color better. Although i know you can change the weighting, you can't change the head design.

My question to you is, which would you choose if you were in my shoes and why and/or which would you choose for yourself and why. Thanks!

Driver: FT Tour 9.5
Fairway woods: X-Fairway 3 and 5
Irons: : X-Forged '09 3-PW in Carolina Blue, Oklahoma Orange, and Wake Forest Green grips.
Wedges: X-Forged '09 54-14 and Vokey Spin-Milled 60-7
Putter: Odyssey Black Series #8

Preferred Ball: Z-star Tour Yellow

In the Pockets: Ball, Ecotee, Switchblade Divot Repair tool, Pencil w/ Eraser.

It sounds like to me that you want the Del Mar, but the Odyssey performs/sets up better for you. In fact the only thing you like better about the Scotty is the feel...which I concede is important. But you also say the Odyssey is great.

If you can live with the Odyssey then I'd go with it based on what you wrote. And you save about $30.

I got a Scotty as a Christmas present a few years ago and haven't ever looked back. All that being said, the ONLY backup putter I keep is an Odyssey 2-Ball DFX Blade that I love too. Putting is mostly about confidence and if your feel is about the same with either, then go with whichever would give you more confidence. If there is a drastic difference in how they feel in your hands, pick the one with the better feel.

What's in my Sun Mountain C-130 bag:

It sounds like the Odyssey works better for you, but the Scotty appeals to the inner "putter snob" in you. Go with the Odyssey.

If you want to make people jealous, buy the cameron. If you want to make more putts, buy the Odyssey.

Without any hesitation, I will choose Odyssey since you are looking at mallet putters. I was also searching for a putter and tried many different models from Odyssey & Scotty few months ago, Odyssey had much better feel and consistency. But I prefer blade type putter and am sticking with my current Ping putter.

It's not about snob appeal; that lasts 5 minutes. it's about what feels right. I've had them all, and the best feeling putter I've ever had is the Scotty Newport Fastback. It is just butter when struck correctly, which is an advantage in itself. now I'll tell you, I'm frugal, and very much a person not impressed by names. In fact, I'm always knocking down institutions that others swear by, including Scotty Cameron putters. But damn it, I've NEVER felt as good about a putter as my new Fastback. I've had Odysseys - they're nice. And Yes, and all the rest. The softest feel, the most confidant feeling, I get only with my Cameron Fastback. It took me a couple weeks to get that feeling, but I wouldn't trade it for anything - at any price.

My personal preference is always with the Scotty, it has an exception feel and when you miss putts you know for sure that it is not your putter but your hands.

What is in my Audi golf bag:
1. Ping I15 8 degree with Fubuki

2. Miura 15 degree with Fubuki

3. Titleist 18.5 degree with Tour AD

4. Ping G15 21 degree wood

5. Ping G15 23 degree Hybrid

6. Ping S56 P-5 iron with Project X 5.5

7. Miura Wedges with Project X5.5

8. Scotty Cameron Circa 62

9. Titleist Prov1 or Z-Star

Go Scotty....you can always sell it for nearly what you paid for it if it doesn't work out. Putting is all about feel and confidence. Sounds like you like the feel of the Scotty better.
Good luck
