CHEAP v EXPENSIVE PUTTER TEST (Inesis v Scotty Cameron)

[@guitarsandgolfballs]

So I went on a crazy golf with the family and I took my premium putter while they used the one supplied, I was the only one to take eleven on one hole. I learned a lot that day!

Yes! I’d love to see more Inesis products reviewed, such great value stuff!

[@GolfMonthly]

Hi Dan - yes, we have more reviews coming... Wedges next!

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

I just posted a review, I bought the Inesis 500, so far so good, let me know what you think 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fobTh6SaeM-egck

[@malthuswasright]

26 times the price of the Inesis is a lot to pay for one more holed putt at medium and long distance and a premium headcover. (Do you hit the ball with the headcover? No - me neither.) And I wouldn't agree with the reviewer that the Scotty "won" the medium and long tests. Medium possibly but at 30 feet holing a putt is as much luck as judgement. Looking at the dispersion I'd say the Inesis won, particularly given that as the Scotty was last I'd expect those balls to be a lot nearer just because the tester has already had multiple attempts.

[@kerbycaves1901]

malthuswasright, the Scotty won the medium. Every single one had a chance to go in since it stayed above the hole. Any ball below the hole is a poor effort

[@malthuswasright]

@@kerbycaves1901 Well worth 26 times the price...

[@TheClassicWorld]

Makes me wonder if Tiger Woods really needed that famed custom Scotty 2 (or even his 2018 custom-made irons for $2,000 each... my guess is that Tiger could pitch from the rough using a phone book if he had to). Based on (a) all the tests I have seen; and (b) how great old players were with terrible clubs back in the 1910s to 1970s, I would say Golf is more about (a) skill; and (b) luck. Speaking of luck, statistics prove that pros miss a lot of long one-putts and many mid-distance one-putts, and they are pros and tend to use the best putters. The only two major factors to take into account are (1) psychology: golfers using better clubs may assume they will do better which, in turn, makes them do worse; and (2) not enough testing was done to give a correct read-out, such that if he hit 100 or 1,000 putts with each for (say) one-putts at 7 feet, as anything beyond 7 feet is more luck-based for pros, we would most likely find the high-end putters are better, last longer, and are better on the hands/body. The price point speaks for itself -- if you have the money or are a pro; thus, require the best clubs, then you will pay for it, otherwise, it's not worth it. From what I have seen, going beyond $150 for a putter is fairly meaningless for non-pros, and maybe even for pros.

[@thebackyardgolfer7010]

I just bought one of these, the INESIS 500 mallet putter for Euro 50, so far so good!!!!

[@easyswing007]

I had a expensive spider putter couldn't make very many putts. Picked up a $35 putter mallet, it was nice and upright, the way I like it made a decent amount of putts left it in the bag.

[@michaelharris829]

if it works then agree the brand/price is irrelevant

Decathlon learned quickly. The putter no longer costs 15 GBP but 40 GBP. And that within 3 years.

[@SunRider69]

Inesis plus some lead tape = Scotty Cameron?

[@alcyone9361]

My thought exactly. I can buy a LOT of lead tape for $500.

[@natskis]

If you're holing more with the inesis, would you then just take a Scotty and shave it down to an Inesis? :D

[@carlosvitorfigueiredo8435]

Great ideia, but what shld i do with the sound?

[@MarvinofMars]

Loved this video, funny on my budget I'm using a 10 year old Ben Sayers copy of a Taylormade Rosa Mallet putter with added lead tape to make up to 355 grams, it not tinny anymore, puts lovely. Adding lead strip completely change the behaviour of the cheap light putter, there some tuning of the stroke to do, but well worth the learning curve. Tape to the under side worked fine as too behind the blade but to the back caused a bad wobble. Can handle long greens just fine now.

[@kellilovski]

my putter is taylormade spiderX，recently I forget my main set of clubs in my friends car，and she out for business a while，then i use my spare set for couple of courses but no putter in bag，then i bought a inesis putter for temp，its amazing ，super suitable for me，i decided to use it for my main putter then，just love it

[@jasonjillain8940]

I have a Scotty Cameron Futara putter and I love it. I bought I'd second hand as I absolutely refuse to pay $400 for a putter. Golf Teck and clubs have become ridiculously over priced. Buying second hand is the way to go. Putter selection is all about feel and sound and looks are important for building confidence. So if you like what your looking down at then your putting is just a matter of getting a feel for the weight. Once you have it dialled in you should be able to put with any putter.

You can get a used set of premium irons on Golf Bidder for the price of that Scotty. It won’t help you if your putting stroke is poor either. It would be a resounding no for me. Split the difference and buy an Odyssey perhaps.

I play a TP Mills Spalding putter ( about 30Y old) bought £2 last year from a car boot ( + £7 for a new grip). I have several Scotty's a couple of Pings and Odessey's and this old TPM is the best! 26 putts last round on tined greens!

[@ajaytuk7416]

There are quality second hand putters you can get for low prices on ebay as well. There is a psychology to equipment that leads serious competition golfers to be aware there might be a better option they could use, which ususally starts by being more expensive-

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Any fishing rod will catch you a fish but expensive gear is so much nicer to use. Same with putters, any putter will hole a putt but the feel and consistency comes with price

[@Kopite68]

But this review has proved the opposite. Inesis better on short puts, same on medium and long. He only holed the last putt with the SC after he used all his others to guage the swing of the green. IMO, putter 'technology' is a lick of pain and an expensive price tag.

[@benoitguitard2887]

I have 3 Scotty Cameron’s putters (dumb but I love the look) and buy decathlon’s golf clothes several times a year both are perfect for what they are made for : let me dream of the golfer I could be for SC and maintain my body warm and dry for Dec 🤗. Impossible to resell an expensive golf trousers but you will find dozens of buyers for a10 years SC. INESIS clubs are great for transitions, when you want to test a new architecture or flex, when you are progressing. When your game is stabilized you can buy the clubs that are truly fitted for you.

Low lofted flat bit of metal is what a putter is, that's it . Was given a scotty futura for my birthday one year and I thought what a waste of money. Most shit golfers have scotty cameron ( weekend golfers i should say) and it's mostly about the pose, went for a putter fitting and was hounded with 3 of the most expensive ones available and I did better with an old ping my day putter. Its laughable the cost of these things especially when most of us knock in more putts with a 52 degree wedge. Good golfers can use anything and fair enough if they spend 400 smackers on something that matches good skills but, normal weekend choades should should spend 350 of that 400 on lessons and balls... been there been flash have had plenty of the bling in the bag but played with £40 Ebay irons and played the same 🤔🤔

What does 'boomer logic' mean? You know lots of young people also pay out $3,000 a year to play Golf and have the best clubs, ranging from 10 to 35-year-olds? I think what they get more than anything is overall consistency on the green and feel for the hands/body. Don't forget, these clubs are made for pros or close to it, which means they could be hitting Golf balls for 5 hours a day... cheap clubs won't be good for that. It depends on what you are using them for and how you calculate it. You don't even want to know how many Golf balls Tiger Woods has hit over his career. It's too much for cheap clubs, that's for sure -- though, it was also too many for his body (and too much running as he admitted -- bad for his knees).

This is a very subjective review with no scientific controls other than a host putting and giving an opinion ! A good putter can do well with a cheap putter! A poor putter won't do well with either!
