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.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
