He doesnt pay all of them...Explain to me why Mike Weir, Tim Herron, and a lot of Tour pros with other equipment sponsor contracts keep trying putters out again and again and keep coming back to a Scotty--theyre just quality putters-thats the reason theyre popular

They are quality putters and a lot of pros use them. Alot guys use the two-ball also. He pays more pros than you know of or I know of. I would bet my life on it. I would just consider it part of his marketing fund, and by the way you're talking, it must work :)

I seem to recall an article in Golf Magazine two years ago saying that the Odyssey 2-ball was the hottest thing going..

Beat me too it on the 2 ball comment

the difference between Mr. Cameron and Odyssey is the fact that Mr. cameron creates his putters by hand..Odyssey golf mass produces putters from a mold--whereas a CAMERON CREATION is a concept protype that scotty designs by himself...the guy is amazing

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

That comment is epic. How about the rest of the putter makers that make their putters by hand

Uhh... Scotty doesn't "create his putters by hand" any more than anyone else. I like and use Cameron putters, but get real man.

I meant his CREATIONS....he handcrafts all of the prototypes-----the pro platinums and the circa 62's of the world are obvioulsy produced by mold....Also the Tour Use ones--he mills them himself to make a putter exactly what a Tour player desires

I don't believe that is true. He customizes some by hand maybe, but he doesn't hand make a putter for every tour player that uses them.

Just found this article from Golf Digest. Here's a quote from Mike Weir "I've used the same putter--a Scotty Cameron Newport--for six years. Bought it out of a golf shop when I was on the Canadian tour. I like the look of it and it has a great, soft feel. But that doesn't keep me from experimenting with other putters." Doesn't sound hand made to me.

Dude... seriously, you need to stop for a bit LoL, it's getting out of hand (although it is entertaining). No Cameron is produced in a mold, all of them are milled, maybe a few of them are skimmed, but personally don't think so. Circle T putters are NOT all made by Scotty Cameron, but I can tell you that you don't have to be a tour pro to get one. All you need to do is call them up, give them your specs, and give them your credit card number, you'll see a charge in the area of 2500.00 appear on your next statement. I'm glad you like Scotty Cameron putters, I personally own 3 of them and think they're good stuff too, but they don't even come close to what Slighter, Byron, and C&L; are making right now. Last but not least (and to remain on topic) I wouldn't go so far as to call him a con-man... But marketing genious would be appropiate :)

Most of the handmades say Scott Cameron on the face right?

Yes i agree with you-- they are all milled but are milled from a set mold of steel...Scotty does most of the customization i.e. paintfill and stamping etc.....A lot of Tour putters are handcrafted because of the players desire of weight and or shape of putter..but this can fall under the title of customization

Actually there's really not a whole lot of rhyme or reason when it comes to the stampings in relation to whether it's hand made or not. At least not to my knowledge.

Regarding the comments above, anything related to a mold is not even close to the same thing as a milled putter of any type. Also, there's a whole assortment of people who do the paintfill and stamping on all of his putters. My understanding is that Scotty doesn't spend all that much time in the shop anymore, but I don't work there so I couldn't say for sure

What the heck is a "set mold of steel"? And a lot of his putters aren't even steel anymore.

If by "set mold" of steel you mean "a block of," then sure... but it seems likely you're just trying to revise your tune to make it fit. Amusing, but not at all helpful. This thread's run its course, the OP has had his point discussed, and now we're off topic.

    • The good part first. Short game has improved a lot. Not that it took much to improve, and there’s still work to do, but I feel more confident. It’s fun to practice. “Soft hands” has become an important element when working on chipping and pitching. When I set up for a chip with ball in the middle, leaning forward, loading the club a little in the transition, the hands doing too much is almost the only thing that can go wrong. For the pitch I want the hands even less involved, but it feels like a softer grip and being less handsy helps on chipping as well. Now, full swing. I now remember what it was like playing with a slice. “Slice” to me is like “Voldemort” to the wizards. It’s absolutely abysmal. I can take a fat or thin shot, but a slice is the worst. Getting my path sorted out is sorely needed. I have signed up for Evolvr again and trust they will help me get there. I see a lot of issues I’ve worked on before. I’ll take it a step at the time in whatever order they recommend. Backswing is too long, rotating the shoulders too much, not getting enough weight forward, not extending through the downswing, pulling, slicing. I’m very happy to be able to use Golf Evolution for this work.  
    • What makes it worse is how vocal Rahm was about LIV not being for him in the beginning. He talked about legacy, how special the PGAT is, how money doesn’t interest him and three round shotgun start is not a tournament, bla bla bla. Now that he’s gone to the dark side, just tell the truth, you did it for the money. He wasn’t honest then and doesn’t come across as honest today. Just shut up, play with your buddies in the Legion XIII team and collect your paycheck. 👎
    • 60* wedge.  I like clean grooves on my 50* and 60* but could care less about the grooves on my 56*.  
    • New clubs came in this morning and I happened to be working in the area so I picked them up. PING G430 Max 3W (-1.5°) with PING Tour 2.0 Black 75, X-Stiff at -1/2" PING G430 3H with PING Tour 2.0 Chrome 85, X-Stiff Those replace my old fairway wood and hybrid, making all 14 clubs in my bag fitted. I'm going to need new excuses for bad shots 😜
    • Ooh, I don't know about that. I've hit flop shots that are 6-7° down. The more you widen the spin loft the less ball speed you put into the ball.
