Hello everyone.   Looking around at golf stores and online just the amount of putters available is insane!  I currently game a Scotty notchback I bought new. I know I can get a few hundo out of it if I had to sell it but What makes putters  them collectible.   I was thinking about starting a collection I know Scotty circle t are at the top of the list but I can't drop 3k on a putter right now lol.  

Ping 8802 I know is a sought after putter from what I have read.

 Not trying to have the most rare crazy dollar putter just a decent collection of nice pieces gamed or not.  Like 1-300$ I can spend now and not really hate myself the best day lol Anything from cool to rare. What would be considered collectible.  I did just purchase the Oscar Mayer wiener putter because it made me laugh. Is it going to be worth much probably not.  Like would nike be somewhere to start being they are going out of club making? Or a rougher Scotty and refinish it? Or is it more just buy what you like and maybe be able to get your money back out of it?  

I will game most of them but rare or more expensive would be in a case I'm going to build for my office.   

Sorry for the long and kind of rambling post just kinda courois 

thanks!

What makes them collectible is you liking them. That's all. :-)

IMO, the best places to add to your putter collection are the used club racks at a big box store and ebay.  I've got a couple old putters that I picked up for $10 used, and I bought an old set of irons (just the heads so far) off ebay a few years ago. I'm more into cheaper ones than trying to find the latest circle-T.

Refinishing them is a cool idea, though there's also a certain charm to having a collection of putters in as-built condition.

Second the refinishing. All i'd add is make sure its done profesionally. I know the likes of Ping can refinish their putters and there is bound to be people/companies  out there who would do it, for a fraction of the cost.

But in the end its all down to whether its worth paying the extra to refinish unless there is a demand for a certain putter.

Im sure half the fun of collecting is hunting them out :-)

I have a decent putter collection but it's like Boogielicious said above.  I got like 5 Ping putters, 3 Ray Cook ones and 2 different Bulls Eye ones.  I like to mix them up sometimes when I am at the range and sometimes actually game them on the weekend.  I didn't really buy any to "collect"... just liked this one, then that one and also that one... you get the idea.  :whistle:

If you want to sell them at some point for money, look around on Ebay and that will give you an idea of what some are worth.

Driver: :callaway: Diablo
Woods: :callaway: Big Bertha 2 & 4
Irons: Miura MC 102's 3 - PW & Mizuno MP 67's 3 - W
Wedges: :mizuno: MP-R12 52* & 58*
Putters: :ping: WRX Ti4

I just rcently claned out a storage shed. In it was several years of collected golf stuff. All the golf stuff is now gone, except for 15+/- putters. I decided, for no apparent reason to keep all them. 

Some are expensive, while others are really cheap.. Some are novelties. Some are home made, out of components. Some are home made from scratch. Some have history, both bad, and good. One I just look at, and think why the hell did I keep this one. Just something about collecting putters. 

My #1 gamer is one of the cheap ones, that really looks well seasoned. It would easily go for $2.00 at a thrift store. 

I guess I am just a "Putter Junkie". :-O

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
