Just bought me a new putter. Scotty Cameron Newport 2 TeI3. I found it on Ebay for $100. I'm really excited, yet a bit nervous. Can I putt any better with it. I think I will really like the copper insert, b/c I like to be a bit more aggressive with my putts. Anyways really excited!!!!

You might putt better with it, but remember that its all on you. Practicing putting is going to do far more for you than buying some expensive putter.
The cup and the ball couldnt care less what brandname is on your putter.

The type of the putter can matter, center shafted or heel shafted, weight matters, looks matters mentally.

So you might putt better with one that more fits you or your stroke that way vs. some other putter.

But having a Cameron won't make you a better putter just because its a Cameron.

It could. Confidence plays a huge role in putting. If you are more confident with a Cameron than you are with some putter in your garage - you'll do better with the Cameron.

Also, when you mishit a putt, you'll have confidence that you have a nice putter. I bought a 30 dollar putter and a few times off the putter face it bounced and I had to re-think that if it were a nicer putter, like a Scotty Cameron, would it have bounced? Or was it me? Most likely it was me, but I would have no doubt that it was a bad stroke if it were a Cameron.

It likely still would have. Its a golf club, not a magic wand. The other day I played golf with a guy who had an Odyssey 2-ball putter. He had a pretty wristy putting stroke and the ball hopped every time he hit it.

Like I said, if you dont make a good stroke it isnt going to make a difference how much you spent on your putter, the result will be the same. Thats not to say that Camerons arent great putters (they obviously are), but spending $300 on a new Cameron isnt going to suddenly make you a great putter.

Yeah, but there is different technology in some putters though, better technology to get the ball on the ground quicker. I'm not doubting it's my stroke though. My long distance stroke could use some work for the lag putts. But, the YES! Sophia, ever since I have gone to that, it really does get the ball rolling quicker than my other one.

The only problem you will have with an Scotty Cameron putter is that you can not blame the putter anymore for your missed putts.

Whatever works. Good luck with it.

I just have an observation. The comments in response to your great deal from Ebay are from folks with double digit handicaps (addressing the pitfalls of the new club to a single digit handicap player). I am sure he can handle the club.

Having a putter that fits is huge.....elimate some variables.

I think some of the SC putters I've grown found off have great weight distribution and promote a smooth roll. I like the solid face....time for a change for me....away from the inserted faced Odysseys that I've used for years (Great....nay....awesome putters....I'm just ready for a change).

My father has the Teryllium insert on his Sante Fe model. Love the feel of that putter. The balls come off with a satisfying feel / sound. Very consistent.

If your new SC fits you well then my belief is that you'll hole more puts.

i've recently taken a cameron out of the bag, to go with a mallet design, i needed a different look while putting, so it goes both ways.

I think that having a good putter can help physicaly and mentaly. I just bought the ODYSSEY SABERTOOTH and not only is the technology and quality awesome, but the putter looks tough and makes me more aggressive. My putts have been way better.

I have a tei3 and it's tough on lag putts on slow greens. If you putt quite agressively, it should be a good putter.

    • Day 353: mirror work again today. Working on the same stuff - wrist twist and shaft lean. 
    • This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.
    • Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 18 Index My typical ball flight is: Slice/Fade with a driver and FW. Generally straight with irons, varies some days left or right. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver slice. Videos:   
    • What are the best drills to practice awareness for club face control? This one came to mind after remembering a bit from the latest release of the podcast. I also think that I have poor club face to path awareness.
