I am fairly new to the game, started playing in April 2007 so be easy on me with my question. Why are so many people fanatical about Scotty Cameron putters? Is it the quality, customization options, collectors item?

Well this thread is probably been posted elsewhere. You should do a search.

The easiest way to answer that question is to go to a golf shop and putt with one. Then you will know what all the 'hub-bub' is about. They are some of the finest crafted, well balanced, nicest looking, value retaining putters on the market. I wondered the same thing you did until I putted with one.

All of the above combined with a history of having a large presence on Tour.

Don't get me wrong, they are BEAUTIFUL putters, but I just don't think they are worth the money they go for.

I got my Odyssey DFX 3300 for $60, 1/4 of what Scotty's go for and LOVE IT.

Who cares what you pay for a putter as long as you like it and putt well with it. I had a lot of putters before I bought a Studio Stainless (including other Camerons) and I've had a lot since (including other Camerons) and I always end up with my Scotty Cameron Studio Stainless Newport 2.5 in my bag. Try one, you'll like it.

I'd have a hard time paying $300 for any single club (picked mine up used for $150), but if I were going to it would be a putter before a driver.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By M2R · Posted

      I appreciate that you have taken the time to come back and update. Based on what was previously discussed I feel like the points were; forged, feel good, price, and possibly players distance. If you like the "looks" of those Maxfli irons and if price is a major point, then going straight to the source, Maltby, might make sense. Specifically, the TS3 iron. I was looking into this myself and found some reviews: Fit2YouGolf, Lets Play Thru, and ELITE FIT GOLF. As per your update I found the Maxfli to be ~$1300 fitted the way I wanted. Where the TS3 with the same fitting and assembled by Golfworks was less than $750. I suppose the downside is to actually hit the iron you will need to get lucky and find someone in your golf circle who will let you hit theirs or order a 6 or 7 iron to test. However, the way I look at that is being equivalent to some fittings. If you like the results and buy, then the fitting is free, otherwise the price of the fitting is a sunk cost. If name brand is important, then I submit for your consideration - THE BEST OVERALL IRON of 2024...... FACT !! 😉 A bit tongue in cheek that but also, I feel some good points were discussed.
