Scotty Cameron: The next model he should build

[snowman0157]

I love the design the Kombi Mallet putter by SC.... but it is just TOO BIG. I suspect lot's of others agree with me that the size is just overwhelming. I'm sure the size is part of the design that increases the MOI, but I'd like to see a smaller version. (TM did this: they have the SPIDER and its smaller cousin the ITSY BITSY SPIDER). I think if SC built a smaller version, he would sell a ton of them. I love to hear thoughts on this from other ST members? I know there are lots of SC fans out there. How do I get this request to The Man Himself?

Im sorry, but I think that putter is hideous.

Scotty should stick with the blades. If you don't want a blade, get an Odyssey or Ping. The best putters in the history of the game all played blades, and most of the best ones now still do. Those Detours and Kombis both look ridiculous (although I'll admit the Detour didn't hit half-bad).

I don't know about that. A lot of great putters are using mallets too. Harrington, Furyk, Mickelson, Clark... All use mallet putters.

[patriot07]

Yeah I know plenty use mallets now, but I'd say the majority of folks with a PGA tour card use a blade. Maybe I'm wrong?

Of the ones you listed, I know all of the putters specifically except Mickelson. What's he using now? I know he used to love those bullseye 100% blade putters. Sorry, don't mean to get too far off subject, but I'm curious.

Oddesy #9, kind of an ugly thing.

[Zeph]

They do have the Fastback.

[kpaulhus]

I like Mickelsons butter putter a lot. IM debating between it and the cameron california del mar

I played this putter for two years. It's great if you have an arch putting stroke and if you like the feel of inserts. Great feel and weighting if that's what fits your criteria.

That's ugly?

[Dub]

Not a big fan of the Kombi. My favorite SC mallet is the Red X3.

[denimdan]

the kombi is way too big for my taste. I agree that scotty should stick with the blades

Most pros on tour use blade irons, so should Titleist only produce blades? Most pros also have X-stiff shafts in their clubs, so should Titleist completely do away with regular and stiff-flex shafts?

Scotty Cameron is in the business to sell putters, not to tell you what you should use if you want to be a pro. Yes, he sells high-end putters, but what's wrong with a high-end mallet?

[DavidFehertysBike]

I was having trouble with my putting 4 or 5 months ago, so i had a fickle breakdown and purchaced a SC mid mallet. The fastback i belive. Its a very solid putter and has small head useful for framing your target. So if youre turned off by the kombi perhaps you can look that one up. I used it through the end of the season, and it was great for me, but i imagine i will be starting the season back with my newport.

[Elvisliveson]

I am not a fan of the Kombi or any of Scotty's other high MOI offerings like the Futura. IMHO, his bread and butter is fantastic high-end renderings of the classics, whether they be a traditional blade like the 8802/Napa or ZB/Coronado, peripheral weighted like the Anser/Newport or mid-mallet like Zebra/Red-X.

Putters are not like stiff shafts and blades. Better golfers do well with blades, worse golfers should stick with cavity backs. Golfers with swing speeds 100-110 should use stiff, 90-100 regular, 110+ x-stiff. There are no numbers/trends like that for putters.

I guess there is nothing wrong with him making mallets, it's just my opinion. I just think it looks ridiculous when Scotty puts out some of the highest grade putters in the world next to those obscenely ugly mallets that he makes, like the Kombi or the Detour. I think I said earlier that I really hit the detour well (maybe not), but I just wish he'd stick to the blades.

The Kombi has a great feel to it but it is to dang big. I have tried numerous mallets like the Kombi, Rife, Seemore and others but I just can't stand a mallet. SC fastback and Red X3 has a great shape to it and is perfect for someone looking for a putter in between the blade and huge mallet. I perfer a blade putter with a little fair to it so thats why I am trying to get my hands on a SC Circa 62 no. 7.
