my anniversary is on the 12th and my wife asked if i want golf equipment.... my face was like and then ........ so i decided to ask for a putter since i have new irons and everything else but my 15+ year old ping putter.....
so i figured to buy a scotty cameron circa 62 model #1 i played with it at my local edwin watts and loved it the feel and everything about it and the second thing about it thats cool is that it will match my titleist ap1 irons ....... but my question is this is it THE putter to buy any complaints or different finish pros and cons i used the charcoal mist finish

My sister and I gave my father a nice Scotty Cameron as a special birthday gift one year.

It was the Sante Fe, I believe...with the terrylium insert. This was a very hot putter at the time (late nineties). I think he's really enjoyed it over the years.

Get the one that you like...the one that makes you confident. I believe that a highly desired putter will help you sink more putts. I believe this because: 1) folks spending big bucks on a putter most likely take great care to have it fitted to them 2) they focus much more on putts and break, speed and grain become objects of scrutiny each putt.

The only thing I did not like about the Circa 62 is the sight dot as apposed to the line. I have had the Studio Stainless and the Circa 62 and I just could not get the feel for the dot. If it was me, I would go after the Studio Select. All Cameron putters will feel great, it is just a matter of personal preference in looks and set up. Good luck!

    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
    • Day 151 1-11 flow work today. I've been doing all pause work, so Inwanted to get some rhythm going. Recorded.
    • a) No b) This MLR says: I doubt the MLR is going to affect their weekly league games, in other words.
    • So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands  
    • Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
