I recently sold my red x putter because I ordered the fastback. After I ordered the fastback I went to a different pro shop and noticed that their scottys had some sweet grips that I had never seen before. They were the midsize winn avs grips.

I found a website where you order a scotty and the winn grip is a $15 upcharge. However, you can't just buy the grip. It's not a scotty's custom shop grip, it's just a different grip.

This ebay seller I've seen has sold several of this same grip, "pulled," for price ranges from around 70 dollars to over $100. And yes, people are paying it. I understand supply and demand but come on. If people knew to ask for the upgraded grip it'd be fairly cheap.

Sounds like this shop is ordering camerons with the upcharged midsize grip, pulling the grip, and making lots of money off of it on ebay.

I'm not sure whether I should be mad or just congratulate the guy for finding a way to make a lot of profit. Here's the grip...

I really really like the grip, but considering what I just paid for the cameron, I can't drop close to $100 on a grip, that's ridiculous. It's not even a custom shop grip, just an upgrade. To think I could have gotten it as an upgrade for $15...

How do you feel about it? Let's say I go to my local shop where they have scottys with this grip and say "guys, you can pull those grips and sell them for $100 a piece on ebay." Would they do it or say no, we ordered those as another option for people buying our camerons.

I wish scotty would make these grips available just like the others on his website.

I love the red cord Baby T grips (or whatever they're called) new, but they get firm/slick kind of fast (or I just play a lot of golf), so it'd be nice if I could just order up a bunch of Scotty grips, but I can't.

Such is life.

Just get the Winn that's similar to the cameron midsize, and let those idiots pay $100 dollars for a $15 grip.
