Lucky me as Golfer of the year 2010 ...... I won a Scotty Cameron putter, but I can not decide .... I am sure you can help.........

I have been comparing all models at an indoor practice green and being a mallet player I have a slight preference towards the Studio Select Kombi, but I also like the Studio Select Squareback 1

Please advise !

You should probably specify that your the golfer of the year at your club or whatever it is....

Getting back to the topic, I love my Newport 2. Great look and have been putting with it really well. Ever since I got it, the number of short putts I'm making has increased. It just fits my stroke better than a mallet.

Did you have any particular preferences out on the putting green?

Seeing as you like mallets, and with SC that is limited to the Kombi, I suggest you look into the Squareback, Fastback, California Del Mar.

All those with a bigger head size will probably fit your eye. But then again, I can't really suggest anything as I've never seen you putt before and do not know which putter looks/feels/works best in your hands.

If it were me I'd go for the SS Fastback or the California Del Mar...

I have allways been putting about straight back, straight trough ..... that is why I like the face balanced heads.

Last year I had some putting lessons and went from straight to arc and bought a Rife Abaco, liked it for a while, but started to miss lots of those short (under 4 ft) putts and went back to my old face balanced Ram Zebra putter. I actually don't need the Scotty, but it sounds like fun to have one that fits my style of putting.

Find a straight putt and choose the model that you aim straight at the hole.

too bad you cant wait until this fall to get it. Scotty Cameron is coming out with their new line then. The line replacing the studio select is called tour rat, needless to say they are sweet, alot of tour designs

Went to the shop this morning, they had all models in stock ....... I liked the Fastback 1.5 and Squareback 1 most and as I am used to mallets I thought it might be time for a change ....... So I went for the Squareback 1 ....... went to the practice green this afternoon, I like the feel but missed a lot of putts ...... no big deal .... I am used to that.

I am a little late to the party here.  For what it's worth, I would have suggested the Kombi-S if you like mallets.  It's like the regular Kombi but smaller and made of the same metal as the SS Series.  Enjoy the new scotty!

No, the Squareback 2 has a plumbers neck, but has more toe flow and the current Fastback 1.5 is not face balanced like the Fastback 1 was.

The Squareback 1 is near face balanced ...... and I just like the looks, which is about most important in my view in a putter....... faith will follow .....

Well faith didn't follow ..... somehow I could keep misssing those 5 to 6 footers with the Squareback ..... so I asked my dealer if he could try to get me a 2010 Fastback no.1 ...... he managed ..... and now I am totally happy with the Fastback no. 1 ...... went to the putting green at our club ...... GREAT !!!!!

Yepp thanks ......

It is the first putter ...... ever ...... giving me instant succes ...... had 33 putts today and shot a 77.

I am not going to say that I was stupid that I didn't buy one myself before, but these putters cost 339 euro over here (that is $475) ..... yepp I know they cost about $299 in the USA , but how about $80 for transport at least, plus 26% import taxes ........ so it really is a lot of bucks for tapping in a ball.......

I know it is peanutts compared to a new driver, and the next, and the next driver, but it is much more fun compress a ball that hard that it goed out 250 and more .......

But I must admit ...... it feels like being in control with the Scotty ! (uhhhh for the time being )

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
