My Scotty Cameron H-12 Jetsetter has arrived!

Ever since these came out a few months ago, I loved the way they looked.  In person, it's even better.  I splurged and purchased one brand new on Ebay.  Yes it was the most expensive putter that I have ever purchased.  Some of my friends think I'm nuts. Maybe their right, but it is without a doubt the nicest putter I have ever seen/used.  The craftsmanship is incredible.  It has so many little things that just makes it amazing to me, like the aircraft aluminum shaft ring, the black smoked-out shaft, the lime green pittards leather grip, the sight line (Golo's do not have this as a stock option). 

It putts very well too.  I as a bit leary of it because it has a plumbers neck and I prefer no plumbers neck usually because it means that the face of the putter is more balanced.  Despite having a plumbers neck the face is still very well balanced.  I had a regular Golo before and I know that the Jetsetter is basically a Golo but there seems to be a difference in feel in that the Jetsetter feels better.  The Golo felt good too and I'm not sure if my mind is playing tricks on me or not but it seems as though the Jetsetter is softer.

Was it worth almost a grand?  I can't answer that because that answer depends on the person.  I'm sure many out there think it's crazy to spend that much and then there are those like me that do.  At least the good think about this putter is that if I decide to sell it in the future, I should not lose any money and should make money.  That's not why I bought it though, but it is reassuring to know that one can get all their money back if they decide to sell in the future even if they decide to game it for a while (and hell yes I plan on gaming this bad boy!). 

They say that people that dress up in a suit and tie to work every day usually feel better than those that can wear jeans and a t-shirt to work.  While I'm sure I will not make every single putt I try with this putter, at least I will know standing over the ball that I have the highest quality and best looking putter I've ever seen with me about to putt the ball.  Maybe it will make a difference or maybe I'm just and idiot......

That place scares me after some of the counterfeit club horror stories I've seen on here.

 

Hope you make a lot of putts with it!

I was also scared too when I first went on.  I do a lot of research and if there is any question about it then I pass.  If you know what to look for on a club then you can usually tell if it's legit or not.  I've purchased about 10 different putters on Ebay and many of them Camerons.  I have never had an issue yet, but I am also very careful and examine everything closely before making a purchase.

I just purchased 3 Fujikura Rombax Type-X Shafts for basically $160 each. That's almost half off. I know they are being phased out, but it's still a huge discount. It turned out to be a Golf Pro Shop in South Carolina which is an authorized dealer. So that put my mind more at ease. I'd flip if those were fake though. 

 

But on the putters what do you look for or on anything in general? I'm very curious.

It depends on the putter.  In this case, there was a photo of the serial number on the putter as well as a tag that was sold with this putter with numbers on it that I could verify as being legit.  If you are looking at a regular SC though, there are many things to look for.  If there is any question at all then I ask for a picture of the id number and you can then verify it with Titleist.  I've also study fakes and then compare to legit SC's.  Thus there is no one magical thing to check for but there are lots of them.  Also, I only buy from reputable sellers with high satisfaction rates.  Ebay and Paypal also offer guarantees that they are authentic, I hope never to have to use that option but it is good to know that it is there if need be.  So far so good as I have not had an issue yet.  Everyone I have dealt with and purchased from and those that have purchased from me have been great.  If you have questions then ask the seller, if there is nothing to hide then there is no reason not to supply you with the information you are requesting.....that's how I look at it.

Might be worth it to have it certified......

It already kind of is.  It comes with a tag with identifying numbers that Titleist has verified.  It's not a COA, but it's the next best thing.  I could get a COA but that requires sending it out for weeks and paying $$ when I already know and have confirmed that it's legit.

Bingo.....

I'm quickly turning into a collector.  I buy a lot of putters and then I'm selling many of them on Ebay as well.  I'm definitely not making money but it helps offset what I pay for them.

I'm having lots of fun doing it and while people may think I'm nuts, I am getting to try basically any putter I want.  If I do not like it then I just sell it on Ebay to someone else that wants it.  I've realized that I'm going to have 5 or 6 putters at any one time as I continue to buy the ones I like and then sell the ones that are not for me. 

By the way, the Jetsetter is a great putter.  I gamed it for the first time on Sunday.  I had 33 putts and made some "bombs" so it worked out well.  One guy at my country club recognized what it was as I was warming up on the practice green before the round.  He came up to me and was shocked to see it as he had only seen them online.  He could not believe that I was actually using it to roll putts and was going to use it in the round.  The performance of the putter definitely backed up it's looks.

As stupid as this sounds, I actually also purchased another California Fastback.  I had one previously, in fact, it was the first SC I ever bought.  I realized that it was a much better putter and was stupid for getting rid of it several months ago.  So I bought another one.  I used the new one on Saturday and moving forward it's definitely going to be a putter I use a lot.  I had it "custom" made from custom shop 911 on ebay.  Thus it's a brand new Cali Fastback but I had special coloring (yellow which is my fav color) installed instead of red dots and also on the lettering along with custom stamping.
