I had a recent post about deciding on my scotty cameron or a 20 year old ping zing to play with in my matches, and i decided on the zing for now, but i dont really want that old of a club, i know its a putter and its not like you need to replace them and if it goes in who cares but if i could find a newer putter with similar feel to it then that would be great, doesnt necessarily have to be a ping either any brand putter. Its a 34" ping zing with a clear insert on the face that says PING in it. Thanks in advance guys

I was looking around online, and i found the scotty cameron laguna 1.5 putter, EXACTLY what i wanted, same shaft style same head shape everything, is it a limited edition putter tho because when i checked on ebay some were going for a few thousand. I want to be able to demo it before i buy it but ive never seen it before anywhere lol

My bag:
Driver: 909D2
3-Wood: 909F2
Iron: AP2 3-PW
Wedges: Vokey 52, 56, 60Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2.6 35"

If you want something very similar, have you looked at the Ping Zing 2? It seems to have received good reviews.

I'm just curious why you're stuck on a Scotty. I don't have much room to talk, as I have two of them, but there are a number of excellent putters that aren't going to cost you thousands of dollars but will play very similar. Then again, if money is no object, go for it. If it's selling for that much now, then there's a good chance you can sell it for that much if you don't like it. I think you'd know after the first round or two with it.

What do you mean "in my matches"? Aren't you going to use it all the time?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Because basically all of my golf right now takes place in high school matches, i get some lessons on the weekends at an indoor golf facility but pretty much everything is a match for me right now lol. And for ControlJunkies post, putting has a lot to do with confidence for me, and i feel confident with my scotty. I feel like i should make every putt stepping up to the ball with my scotty, but with the length and weights and shaft style i guess it just doesnt work together lol, my zing i have a better stroke with the proper weighting and shaft style length etc. but im less confident, that laguna 1.5 has the best of both worlds

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
