I'm just curious, does your Scotty has insert in it? Got pics? or link to a website?

Yes it does have an insert. GSS (German Stainless Steel).

Here is a pic of it that I snagged of the web.

Hey Wisco, if you had the choice, money no object, would you have gone for the Redwood. I bought one about 3-4 weeks ago (picked it up second hand in my pro shop for £120) and love it, but never tried a Scotty.

Just curious!!

Get a Scotty Cameron and stay with it. The are the best putters made. If you are putting bad its not the putter its you.

I used to own a 2007 Scotty Cameron Circa 62#1 but now I'm settled with a Ping Redwood Anser. I almost bought SC Newport (similar style with Anser) but to me SC putter head is smaller compare to Anser Redwood. I prefer a slightly bigger head at address. SC is a beautiful putter.

Well I was looking for love and I finally found it. I brought a couple of my old putters into Golf Galaxy yesterday to trade them in. I had intentions of buying a new Ping B60 Karsten or a Yes Callie. As I am rolling a few balls with each and trying to decide the sales guy said I should try a ping redwood. I tried it and loved it! But alas it was out of my price range. Then he hands me a brand new Scotty Studio Newport 2 that someone had just brought in an hour before. He had never played it and it sat in his basement. The sticker on it said $179 which was a great deal. With my trade in's I walked out with a brand new Scotty Newport for $140 bucks. Unbelievable. The Scotty is so well balanced and the ball feels so good of the face. I finally know now what all the hype is about! Thanks for all your suggestions and I still can't believe I have a Scotty for that price. WOW!

Wisco, congrats man! I was going to suggest that you really look into purchasing a scotty before I found out that you already did because it seems as though you spent that much money for the total of your other 5 putters. I'm "borrowing" my dad's Scotty and have to admit, it hasn't helped lessen my score. Having said that, my previous putter was a carbite. There's really no comparison. The scotty has a better feel and gives me more control. I'm just not any good at reading my lines, that's all. Again, congratulations and good luck with the new putter...

Hmmm good question. I really liked the Redwood but I did like the Scotty better. As soon as I picked it up I could tell that the face balance on the Scotty was like no other putter. It fits my stroke perfectly.

Thanks illmadden! You hear all this "hype" about Scotty's but until you try one you have no idea how brillant they are. I cant read lines very well either and I just read something that may help. I just found out that I am a left eye dominant - right handed golfer. So I was trying to see my putting line with the wrong eye and it was throwing my line off. You should check and see which eye is your dominant eye and make sure you focus on your line with that eye.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 4zim ·

      Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃

      Best Shot of the Week

      By StuM ·

      Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.

      Clubface Control Drills?

      By saevel25 ·

      Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
