I just wanted to share my experience with the Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum series. I bought a used Laguna 2.5 about 3 months ago, and after many rounds of uncertainty and trouble, I finally got the hang of it, and its a spectacular putter. I like how soft it is for a non-insert putter, and the Pro V1's are a nice thing to look over aswell.

I believe that it took me a while to get used to the Laguna 2.5, because I switched over from being a insert+mallet guy (Odyssey White Hot XG Rossie -> Odyssey White Ice 9), and I felt very confused over a blade putter like this one. After a few small alterations to my stroke, and countless hours of putting on the greens, I have never felt better on the greens. I have shaved my handicap from a 5.6-2.0 in 3 months, and actually broke par for the first time at Torrey Pines, won two of three tournaments I have entered, and I made my highschool team at the age of 14.

I spent around 190$ on my putter, from the purchase and two re-grips. I would reccommend this Pro Platinum line to anyone comfortable with blades, or looking for a steady improvement in their putting stroke and scores.

Hope this helps someone out there!
Cheers.

Where is the putter review?

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

you're reviewing an 8+ year old putter? lol.

Actually I've had a 99 pro-platinum laguna and it's a phenomenal putter, IMO, much better feeling than the Studio Select series.

But now a Slighter has pushed Scotty out of my bag.

Turns out the half life of a SC putter is quite long. Who would have thought?

ive noticed alot of pros using scotty cameron putters that the putters are so customized that you dont even know what model they are. On the players site they will just say scotty cameron newport when if fact its something they dont even sell. ive seen some sweet putters that they dont sell, almost none of them have that silver finish on the studio selects.

For paying 300 for a putter, I think you should be able to have custom options like finish etc.

    • Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well. 
    • Day 228 4-4 More hip/chest turn and wrist arching. Working on hinging wrist a bit later. Foam balls. 
    • Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.  
    • A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.   
    • Day 550 - 2026-04-04 Practiced in the sim at a club for awhile. Did a SW ladder and practiced for awhile with my 7I.
