This discussion is pointless

Scotty Cameron do great putters as do many other companies

Treat yourselves to a putting lesson with a qualified PGA pro who specialises in putting coaching and I guarantee that most of you will drop two to three shots a round in a flash (cameron or spalding being in the bag)

The fact is guys like David Mills, Dave Billings, and Byron Morgan are making better quality putters with the same attention to detail Scotty puts into his Tour putters for less than Scotty's retail models.

Let's not get into it again, gas_can. That's not a fact - it's your opinion. One you're entitled to, but you're not entitled to label it a fact.

This thread is funny. If anything in golf is personal preference it has got to be putters. Everybody is different, whether it's a Spalding special, a blade, a spaceship on the end of the stick, the best putter is whatever gets it in the hole. Heck some people still use a bullseye. Personally I suck at mini golf because I can't use those damn things. I think the debate has turned into what company is the best. All top name brands made high quality equipment. I've always viewed Cameron's as the best but that doesn't mean they are for everyone. A great example is the White Hot's with the insert. They have a much different feel. However, I'm not sure how you can ignore:

1. Tour use
2. Market demand
3. consumer reviews

I don't have any data readily available but I'm pretty sure Scotty Cameron would be #1 in all 3. Are they expensive.... well at $300, yep they are. But keep in mind that most name brand's top of the line putter is going to be in the $200-something range these days so the difference isn't as much as you think. What I really don't understand is the same people who shell out $400 for a new driver say $300 is out of the question for a putter. I don't get that. Golf is about having fun, improving your score is all about short game, and who am I to say you shouldn't spend the money on the club you are going to use the most.

Personally I'd like to have a Cameron. I got a good deal on my NC Milled Series putter and couldn't justify the extra $165. And I don't have the extra $300 floating around now. Of course I'd never spend $400 on a new driver either.

This thread could have ended 2 weeks ago when someone said they are worth it if you are willing to spend it. And last I checked Titleist isn't having a hard time moving these things. I mean, if you buy a Cameron you have determined it's worth the money. I don't think you're going to get it and after using it think it's a piece of crap. I don't think many new Cameron owners are looking for new buyers... if you know of any can you let me know?

And on that note, we'll close it up.

      TST Explores the ShotScope H4 (Stats Tracking Device) and Pro LX Rangefinder

      By billchao ·

      Someone from support got back to me today. There's an automated response from the email server that apologizes for the wait but honestly one business day is hardly a delay in my eyes. This isn't exactly a pressing issue. Unfortunately, they don't quite understand what the problem is and asked for a screenshot from me so I tried the best that I could to take a bunch through different steps and walk them through the issue. I honestly would just say f*** it and delete the whole round but it's the best I've played all year and I want the stats.

      Article, Lessons From the Worst Golf Instructor in America

      By billchao ·

      Yea and that's a problem, because there are terrible golf instructors out there, but this article does nothing to address that. If anything, it's so bad, I'm inclined to believe the instructor in question isn't really terrible at all.

      Article, Lessons From the Worst Golf Instructor in America

      By iacas ·

      There are plenty of those guys. A guy nearby often has students see him every week or two. The students "get better" during the lesson because the guy says a bunch of things, and they've been hitting a 7I for the past 45 minutes, so they've kinda gotten in a groove. I often tell my students to go away and not come back for six weeks, because that's how long it'll be until they start to see some real progress. (I teach plenty of people every two to three weeks, but they all know they're not going to get something all that new, and that we're kind of in "bumper bowling" mode at that point where I'm just trying to keep them on the lane we've chosen to go down.) The USGTF is a money-making operation. If you're willing to pay them, they'll keep making you a "higher level" instructor. I've known people who can't break 90 who go through it and are "level 3" or something… because they gave them $8k and took two weeks of "training." The PGA… doesn't really teach you a ton about teaching, either. And what they do teach you… let's just say it's not always the best. There are plenty of really, really great instructors… who aren't PGA members. And many bad ones who are. It'd be impossible to actually teach all that you need to know about golf to be a great golf instructor, so that's not as much of a knock on the PGA as you might think it is. Nobody's going to spend six years in the PGA paying $30k/year to ONLY learn about golf instruction. That's what I estimate it would cost to distill and impart and practice the actual "here's how to be a good golf instructor" stuff. Oh boy. I know Brendan a bit. Used to text him. These articles are cringe, and I'd say that to him, too. They feel like clickbait. Yeah… BTW, I may have mentioned this before, but he's a college placement guy. He helps kids find college programs to play golf. He also argued strongly against Natalie going where she is quite happy to be right now. 😉

      As I read the article, I thought, "This article is garbage. It's poorly written and says nothing. It's as bad as he's claiming the instructor he's criticizing to be." Then I realized it's the same guy that wrote this gem: Lo and behold, it's basically the same thing I said about the last one. This guy just doesn't like golf instruction and he doesn't know shit about swing theory. And possibly physics, even though his bio says he's a scientist. He's completely misunderstanding what the purpose of a tilted arc is. It takes advantage of the anatomy of the human body and it's ability to generate power through rotation. Part of how it "creates" power too is by lengthening the swing arc, which allows more time to transfer energy and speed from your body to the club and ultimately, to the ball. There's a reason long drive guys don't have short swings. There is a reason the one inch punch is so hard to execute and more people get KO'd by a hook than a jab. The entire article, just like the last one I read, reads like the rantings of a guy that just doesn't like golf instruction who's probably never had a good lesson in his life.
