I would go Odyssey. They are cheaper, feel good, and perform great.

the one he is getting is 10% CHEAPER ..?

I personally hate the feel of any putter with an insert, so it is scotty all day long for me. But putting is all about confidence.. buy whichever putter makes you feel like you are going to sink the put. For some folks that means a high end milled putter... they mentally feel more confident,,,"this dam SC must be a better putter, I paid $300 for it." Honestly, I fall into that camp. Same reason I ride faster on my Calfee bike and Reynolds wheels.. they were dam expensive so I must be faster.. who cares if it is all in my head.. its my dam head and I have to live in it :)

Haven't used a Scotty Cameron so I can't really comment on that, but I got my 2010 White Ice #9 last week and it is a beautiful putter.Looks fantastic, but more importantly it feels great.It has that classy look and feel that only top quality gear can.No idea what the Scotty's are like but after only a week with the Odyssey I can't imagine ever using anything else.

I have 3 Scotty Cameron putters and 2 Odyssey putters, and to tell you the truth there isn't a significant difference between the Black Series and the Scotty Cameron. I personally think of it like this; Scotty Cameron is like Porsche, and Odyssey is like Chevrolet. SC markets toward the high-end "boutique" golfer whereas Odyssey has a putter for almost anyone. The SC you are looking at it like a Porsche 911 whereas the Odyssey Black Series is like a Corvette. People might look at the Corvette as inferior since it's just a Chevy, but when it counts on the track it's just as fast if not faster than the 911 while still being a bit cheaper. The Porsche is going to ahve a nicer interior, a better resale value, and an all around more "luxurious" feel to it.

All that being said, if you don't know how to drive, you won't get the most out of the car's performance capabilities and any difference between the two won't be noticable. Same goes for the putters; if you don't have a good putting stroke, the putter you are using won't matter.

As I've posted in other putting threads, I just don't understand that philosophy. In fact, the better your putting stroke gets, the more important things like touch, look and feel become. Therefore, your putter choice becomes all the more important because you can actually discern and appreciate those attributes and really get them to work for you.

To answer the OP's question, the ones you are choosing between are both high end premium putters. Just choose the one that you are most comfortable with and has the best feel to you.

My Tools of Ignorance:

Driver: Ping I20 9.5*

Putters: Scotty Cameron  35" (Several of the flow neck blade variety)

Ball: Bridgestone B330-RX and Srixon Z-Star

Bag: Nike Performance Carry

What I was referring to were people that can't break 120 yet buy a Scotty Cameron (along with ProV1's and Vokey wedges) because they think that the putter alone will make more putts. I'm talking about people that are lucky to two putt from 10 feet yet buy a SC putter over a basic Ping putter because it's "better". They don't know how to tell if it's better or not since their putting stroke is not good enough to tell the differences.

Scotty hands down. It's like comparing a Pinto to a Ferrari.

That must be a tricked out Pinto riding on 24" rims. Come on, Odyssey isn't that bad.

But in my honest opinion, I'd say go with the Scotty. Because any model of the Del Mar is my dream putter. The Odyssey does look pretty awesome, too though. I'd test both of them out. On an off topic. I was just wondering how it's possible to have your lowest 9 hole score as a 38, and your lowest 18 hole score as a 69. That's impossible. You must mean 79, right?

      I mean, if you like GZ, and would drink it more often during a round than water, then keep drinking that. If you walk 18 holes, on a hot summer day, and drink 2 20-oz waters or 4 20-oz GZ. You will benefit more from the 4 20-oz GZ because it's like 99.99% water, lol. Yea, if flavored water makes you drink more water, then that works better.  I would just monitor the salt intake relative to your own health. I am sure some people might have to be careful. GZ is 280 mg salt. So, 4 of those is over 1000 mg. It is over 4 hours. That is like half the daily recommended intake of salt. You are probably losing some of your salt reserves playing golf. Long winded way of saying, it depends on the person.

      My first few years playing golf, I'd take a 32 oz Gatorade (probably pre-zero;  almost certainly Gatorade Tiger when that was a thing) with me in my bag, but I'd otherwise take water (in about the volumes I take now).  From your post, it seems like going back to something like that might be a better idea for me -- primarily water (maybe with some fruit or mint leaves thrown in for flavor) and one bottle of sports drink, rather than a diluted sports drink across all I'm drinking?

      The Films and Movies Thread

      By Shindig · Posted

      Yesterday evening, I watched The Gentlemen, a Guy Ritchie film from 2019 that I evidently missed on first pass.  It's a par, but it's a par on one of those long par-4s where the par feels like a birdie. It's in a similar vein to some other movies like Lock Stock, Snatch, or Layer Cake (which was Vaughn, not Ritchie).  If you liked those, I think you'll like this.   A friend suggested it a few months ago, and I started it one night and couldn't finish because I was having trouble following.  In retrospect, that was an artifact of trying to watch the movie too late in the day.  I started the movie at the beginning earlier yesterday and got to enjoy the full thing very much, but unlike some other movies, I encourage anyone to watch this when they're awake enough to catch which characters are which.  In my case, watching with subtitles helped me understand what some characters were saying.

      Sweat contains about 800 to 1500 mg per liter. For me, about 45 minutes of moderately intense workout had me lose about 3-lbs of water weight. That is about 1-liter. Now, a thing you need consider how much salt you are getting from food. Humans have been perfectly fine eating food with extra salt added. Typically, people would get 500 to 1000 mg of salt just from eating whole foods. Most people eat processed foods, which have more salt. So, we probably are not salt deprived. We are constantly digesting food we eat and taking in that salt. Unless you are fasting, and working out, you probably are slowly getting salt back into your body.  I will say electrolyte powder is probably beneficial for people for intense training or long endurance activities in the perspective of improving fluid retention (helps in recovery) and preventing cramping. I would say, just drinking water is way more important in general. For something like running marathons, absolutely beneficial. For golf, this is a marginal benefit.  In terms of ideal electrolyte ratios, you want to be in the 2:1 to 4:1 sodium to potassium ratio. Though, I have also seen ratios closer to 20:1. This mechanism is vital for nerve impulses, cell volume control, and kidney functions. Potassium is essential for muscle contractions. Magnesium is good for muscles function as well.  Ultima Replenisher: 55mg salt, 250mg potassium, 100mg magnesium.  *Probably good for people who don't eat a lot of whole foods, or foods with a lot salt. Probably one in the same, lol.  LiquidIV: 500mg salt, 370mg potassium, no magnesium.  LMNT: 1000mg salt, 200mg potassium, 60mg magnesium. Skratch: 400mg salt, 50mg potassium, 50mg magnesium.  Transparent Labs: 500mg salt, 250mg potassium, 50mg magnesium. If I had to choose one, I would probably go with Skratch. My diet isn't 100% whole foods, so I get plenty of salt.  Note, if you have kidney issues, I would be wary of adding excessive salt. Salt can be very hard on the kidneys, and you might be negating the benefits of drinking that water.

      I ran the nutrients for Ultima Replenisher  by my friend who is nutritionist. She said it was a decent breakdown. So I bought the berry and lemonade packs at Target. Will give a try on the course today.
