All,

Over the last 3 years I have accumulated 4 putters, but I am thinking of just keeping 2 & selling the other 2.  Here is the putters I have:

- 33" Scotty Cameron Squareback #1

- 34" Nike Method 004

- 35" Odyssey 2-Ball SRT (White Hot)

- 33" Rife 2-Bar hybrid mallet

I can put equally as good or bad with all the putters.  Which 2 would you keep?


In my clicgear.gif 2.0 Push Cart and callaway.gifgolf bag are -

I would say both 33" this way at least your set up stays the same

If you do keep the Nike and Scotty, I'd either shorten the 34 to 33 or put a plug in the 33 to make it a 34 so that the setup is the same for you...

I personally would keep the scotty and the nike if you are making the decision as to which are the nicer "looking" and IMO better quality putters.  HOWEVER I know personally when I am struggling with my putting I like a completely different look, so if you are the same I would recommend keeping the Scotty (I am bias) and one of the mallet putters.  That way if you do start to struggle with one you have something that looks completely new and a "fresh" start.  JAT.

Keep the two which look and feel the best to you when you stand over them.

For me it would be the Scotty and the Nike.

Just keep them all, you will regret it if you don't LOL.

For gaming though, I would take all 4 to the putting green and spend a good deal of time with each hitting similar length putts with each one and similar break putts with each one.  You will probably identify one that is better on long putts, one that is better on short putts, and hopefully one that is a good compromise and that is the one you should game.  Keep that one in your bag and stick with it.  I would probably keep the others and occasionally game one if your star putter has a stale period.  But hey, if they start a golf hoarders show, I may be the first subject!

Too me it's like having four kids...which one are you going to give up?  None, you brought them into this world now deal with it...

If I could only keep two, I would keep the Scotty and the Two-ball.  That way you have two that are very different, but yet excellent putters.

I'd keep the Cameron Squareback and sell/trade-in the other 3 and get another Scotty!

You say you putt equally good and bad with them all, if thats really true, then keep the Scotty and the Nike.  Both are awesome looking putters and sell the others.  If you could use an upgrade somewhere else, like driver or irons OR could use money on something else in your life then sell the Nike and the Scotty they are the most valuable.  Just my $0.02

If your stroke is straight back through, go Rife and 2-Ball

If your stroke swings on an arc, go Nike and Scotty.

Thank for all the advice!  It's been cold & I've only played three times since 1 Dec.  All three times I used the Nike Method. I love the feel & look of it but I have a problem with long putts.

Gill, all the putters are face balanced so shouldn't they all work for a straight back through stroke?

Actually, that's a pretty decent idea!

The SC Squareback is not face-balanced. It might have very little toe hang, but it is not face-ballanced. Scotty Cameron will not make a face-balanced putter because he doesn't think anyone should use one since it doesn't fit what he thinks is the "ideal" putting stroke.

As for your original question, if you had to sell two of them sell the two that you use the least. Or you could just keep all four putters, but I have to warn you that it might lead to more putter purchases. Not taking into account the two I recently sold, I have twelve putters and counting.......


I'd say Scotty and Odyssey in terms of value, but whatever feels the most comfortable to you. Forget initial performance. This can be practiced. Comfort is key.

    • A report from day 2 of the event, an unfortunate situation occurred.  One player noticed that one of the other players in his group had what appeared to be stickers on several of his clubs, the ones on the face used with certain launch monitors.  Word got back to the rules staff, and we (surreptitiously) confirmed the presence of the stickers.  Those stickers are "external attachments", and their presence renders a club non-conforming.  If a Player uses a non-conforming club to make a stroke, he is DQ.  That's the easy part, the rule is pretty straightforward.  The tough part, how to handle it.  We considered having a quiet talk with the player while the round was still going on, but decided against it.  We didn't want to DQ a player in the middle of the round, having him walking back to the parking lot on his own, as well as changing the pace and rhythm of the other players in his group.  Instead, the Official in Charge, a young employee of the Middle Atlantic PGA who will be heading up their junior program this year, had a discussion with the player at scoring.  The player took it with good grace, said he never knew they were a problem.  He works with a swing coach, who was the one to help him put the stickers on in the first place, and apparently the coach never told him he needs to take them off.    Ther4e are a few things that a player may do once in his golfing career.  I think failing to identify his ball and consequently playing a Wrong Ball is one of those.  Getting DQ for stickers on a club face is another.  
    • Feel ≠ Real. 😁 For someone like me who has a lot of twist and little arm turn down. The feel is absurdly obnoxious. I hate it, but it works. I am sure for those who get a lot of hands down behind them, feeling the elbow a bit more in front of them makes sure they do not get stuck. Maybe better golfers tend to have that motion naturally, I may be able to see how that feel became something. 
    • At first glance - option 1 mainly because I’ve never played a dedicated par 3 and 18 holes of par 5’s, well l’m pretty sure  I would be exhausted from playing that length.  I have rarely made the green in two on a five, so not getting there in two is not a sore spot. At second glance, it’s still a par 3 with 6i max. 
    • Especially since the lead arm pins more against the chest in the early downswing before it releases down, in a lot of these high level swings.  But there is a difference between this trail elbow positioning: And this one: I wish they went into describing how exactly these two positions are different and why teachers use feels like "trail elbow more in front or under." 
    • #2, Golf would get really boring if you only play Par 3's. Par 5s let you have a lot more strategy and design to play with.  Also.. as a short hitter I'm normally laying up on the 2nd shot.
