Master Scotty Cameron Putters: Worth It or Not? Thread

[Incognito]

i like the sound of mine.

Choosing a putter is simply a personal decision. Several factors came into play when I chose my SC. I can admit that I was seduced by the brand name and the whole "art of putting" marketing angle. But the feel, look, and quality of Cameron putters is second to none for me . I bought mine as a reward for changing my lifestyle to a more healthy one over the course of time. Every time I use it, I am reminded of that, which makes it that much more special, and reinforces my will to treat my body correctly. We all have our reasons for what we play.

I think I loose feel with any other putter.... I would die without my Pro Platinum Newport Mid-Slant

putters are personal prefeence bro

this post says it all. i have a an oddesey that i cant wait to get rid of - I am planning on getting a Scotty this month and can't wait - but plenty of pro's use plenty of diff putters - but to me it is no doubt the most important club in the bag - the weighting and balance of a scotty plus the feel of the face are just amazing - I want one!

I like the way the Circa 62 feels in the hand, the weight and where the shaft bends, the visibile marks, and the fact that is was made in the USA. It's not the easeist putter to just pick and start knocking them in-but the roll off the face of the putter is smooth smooth smooth. My father has been golfing just over 30 years now, and he's a good man and solid single digit golfer (5 or 6). Offers a few tips if you want 'em, and will let you know when you hit a good shot. But during my career low round (72) with him the best compliments I ever got on a golf course was his quietley muttered disbelief when I sunk a few left to right 8-12 foot sliders. "Damn! so smooth, look at the way he gets the ball rolling...so smooth."

My Cameron was $200, not sold as brand new, but still in the plastic with an untouched headcover. They're expensive, but not outrageous, I've seen some good deals pop up from time to time on globablgolf, 3balls, and ebay.

I have a 4 scottys all awesome putters, I got a beternadi ect ect I have alot of putters....

Sc's have always felt very good for me, but then again I used my beternadi up untill I got my new putter custom built. I love my new putter much better then my scotty, much better feel, weight and look.

It's all down to personal prefference, see a putter in my opinion is the single most important club in the bag, since this is the club you will use most and make those birdies with. So you need to have what you feel comfortable with.

I purchased a SC about 6 years ago and I was OK with it but eventually drifted back to the Ping anser. Finally sold the SC for almost what I paid for it. Matter of preference.

PS had an Odyssey for a short time and hated it.

It's all personal preference, as stated. I have 5 scotty's, 4 because I like the look of them, and I think they might be worth something down the road, and 1 (my gamer) that has been in my bag for a long time and gives me tons of confidence with putting.

I agree, all personal perference. I am not a fan of inserts on putters, to me they feel dead. I have tried the Odyssey milled putters and like them, but there is something about my Scotty that I can't explain. Last week in our league I had 11 putts for 9 holes, when you get on a roll with it, there is nothing better.

I feel bettinardi studio putters are very similar to scotty studio putters and like the feel. I bought my bettinardi because it was on clearance in the fall for 50 percent off. I went with the cheaper putter since I could care less about the name of the putter.

I am going on a limb and saying the majority of people using scottys do it so they can say they have a scotty putter. Its very similar with PROv1s. The only reason why I use prov's is because I was given nearly 100 of them from a buddy and am using them.

At the same time if the using a scotty having the ability to say I have a scotty makes someone happy then knock yourself out. Id rather spend the extra money on golf rounds.

If you own a Bettinardi, why would you spell it as "beternardi"? Twice.

Ha Ha! Does seem suspect. Of course, a huge chunk of people who were raised speaking and writing English continue to write "loose" instead of "lose", and insert random apostrophes into words like "Vokey

' s" and "Mizuno ' s"...

Nobody who knows putters calls Bettinardis cheap. They are CNC millled, and they actually (unlike Scotty) mill them in the USA. In fact i would rather have a Bettinardi than a Scotty.

i have a SC Red X but only have it because my mom purchased it and didn't like it. i had no idea at the time that it was such an expensive putter (probably wouldn't purchase one with my own money just due to cost).

yes i know this and know bettinardis are not cheap mine was on clearance at a closing golf store one fall. Its actually over 300 new and yes I like mine better than a scotty

I paid over 300$ for a driver and I don't use it as much as my putter. If if puts the ball in the hole, price is not an object regardless of the brand name.

Someone could use that statement to avoid spending $300 on a putter
