Personally I don't like it, I am not a fan of the center shafted putters.

its probably going to be around $3,000 because that little red spot at the top is a real jewel.

I'm really liking the looks of this Scotty. I'm on the market for one and I had my eye on the 1.5, but now with this 2.6 model, I'm leaning toward it. At least before seeing it in person that is.

I really hope it's not more expensive than the other models. I can't see the extra sightline dot behind the shaft really upping the price that much

I thought the 'T' in a circle denotes it as being a tour model...and is therefore in the thousands of dollars range instead of the off the shelf $300-ish ones.

They'll be shipped out Monday. $300

Then the one in the picture is definitely the pricey 'Tour' version.

I heard someone say you are basically just paying for bragging rights when you step up from a regular to Tour version!

Bragging rights and a hefty resale price. Circle T putters fetch a pretty penny, I have three TEI circle T's and they are valued in the range of 1200-1600 from what collectors have told me.

How about this one?

I think the look and the colours of the ad make it look like someone has fired a nail gun or something at it from close range. Quite industrial looking.

I like Scotty's for their clean lines.

I know I will catch endless hell for this, but I haven't found a Scotty that feels better than my PING Redwood Anser (and I

really wanted to like the Scotty better). Then I decided to look at the Circa 62 #1 . . . until I tried it side-by-side with the Redwood ZB (and I still really wanted to like the Scotty better.)

A Newport 2.6 and a Newport 2.7. But no 2.5. Grrrrr!

That is the Button Back, and it will be released in limited numbers, 2 styles of clubhead (forgot which styles) both will only have 2008 released. But they will cost you a pretty penny. But I want one!!!!

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

Unfortunately, it'll be much more pricier than regular version only because it has that little circled T logo.

What's in the bag:
Driver: r7 SuperQuad 10.5° ~ UST Proforce V2 65g Regular
Wood: 906F4 18.5° ~ Aldila VS Proto 80g Stiff
Irons: MP-60 3-PW ~ True Temper Tour Concept S3
Wedges: Vokey Oil Can 252.08, SM56.10 & SM60.08Putter: Marxman Mallet 33"

Ahh, you're probably right about that. I didn't know what that mark meant. Surely though they'd offer a "non-tour" version? I called the local golf store and they said they'd be getting them in Oct. 1, so that makes me believe they will offer a non tour version? I can't see your average golf store selling to many extremely high priced putters like the tour version?

Read my post a few posts above yours, I explain what will be done with that putter, regarding to the public.

But that is a picture of a Circle T, and the reason those are so expensive is they were made custom for a pro, it could be Anthony Kim's, or some no name that you haven't ever heard of. Often times they have different stampings on them, different lengths, lofts, lie's, and often custom weighting for that tour player. The tour players aren't limited to what they get as are the public, and that combined with the fact it was used on tour make it expensive.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

      Unless I'm misunderstanding something (plausible) the whole point is that that is not block practice. At least not in the terms used in the study that said block practice doesn't help much.

      Who said block practice was mindless? If you are trying to practice a 150-yard draw, 200 times. That isn't mindless. Yuou miss one right more than yo want you adjust. It isn't mindless.  Me practicing how my right hip moves in the backswing over and over again isn't mindless.  Yes, block practice is specifically doing something over and over again. It has its benefit because it can be something so specific you need to work on that it gives you the sheer volume in repetitions you need to go from novice to beginner or slightly competent. You then can go on from there to non-block practice to become proficient.  I disagree with this. If you are hitting a 7-iron to a green over and over, and if the intent is to hit the best shot you can, then that is block practice. You make little adjustments each time even if you are not thinking about them. Though, you can think about them and still call it block practice.  Again, if you know you push one just right, you make an adjustment either subconsciously or consciously. Then you hit the next one, it is right on target. Your brain locks in that as what you want it to be.  Block practice isn't defined as mindless.

      I guess if you're just mindlessly standing there dragging a ball over and hitting it at a green then maybe, but when I go to the range, I'm always taking feedback on what happened and adjusting what I'm doing (very slightly) to change clubface or strike point or whatever else. I suppose if I hit it absolutely perfect, I might try to change nothing, but I'm not sure I've ever hit it perfectly twice in a row.  But that kind of fine tuning I would have thought a month ago was block practice since my goal is the same with the same club and same target for each shot. I was thinking that might be not ideal based on the science that said block practice isn't as good, but now it seems that's not what those scientists meant when they said block practice and the practice I typically do is just fine.  I think it's a semantic issue where misunderstanding what the studies were actually doing is affecting how the outcome of the studies is being interpreted by lay people (like me). So: - block practice is doing the same thing over and over - block practice is not as good as variable practice - me a month ago: going to the range and hitting 7 iron to the same green is doing the same thing over and over therefore the practice I'm doing needs to change - me now: oh - actually hitting that 7 iron to the same green over and over, but making little adjustments each time is not block practice, so therefore the practice I'm doing is fine

      I mean, doesn't it go back to intent. Lets say you hit your 7 iron 150 yards. you aim at the 150 green. You just hit 200 7-iron to that 150-yard green with a small amount of draw to the ball. I would say that is block practice.  To me, that is not different than practicing free throws in basketball.

      It for sure does - I do remember enough of that episode to say that that was my main takeaway from it. I guess it's pretty darn difficult to do block practice with a ball there. Maybe rehearsing a move over and over might be block practice, but even then I'm trying to do that with feedback and adjusting each time according to how the feedback is.
