I am looking to pick up this putter but I have heard about fakes running around so would like to get some opinions on this. He didn't take any pictures of the head cover. I can get a pretty good deal on this just want to make sure it is legit. Thanks

get a photo of the underside of the grip. the serial number on these Studio Style is below the grip.

Looks real to me. the paint looks legit. get the serial number, call scotty to verify.

Does anybody else have an opinion on this? It doesnt come with the divot tool which I have heard is a sign of a fake.

It looks a lot like mine. Is it new? If not that would explain the lack of a "pivot" tool. Does it have a headcover?

Not all Scotty Camerons come new with divot tools.

Neither of mine come with them from the factory. There aren't even holders for them on the headcover.

I suppose you'd have to do some research and see which models do / don't.

Take a look at the putter archive on Scotty's webpage and look at that model and see what you think.

Good luck

This is the model that is most commonly sold as a fake.

I would like to see a photo of the cover because the stitching is a giveaway, as is the lack of a tool if it is new. But the close up photos seem OK to me. I am curious as to why he didn't photograph the cover or the face, because they give you a good idea. The insert is not an insert at all. But this one looks OK. Make sure the red is a bright red and not a sort of plum colour, which is another giveaway.

absolutely right. the headcover is cheaply made and the O, R, and M are misprint. also, the bottom side of the club (sole) on a fake is really shiny, due to cheap recycled scrap metal.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
