Exposing The BRUTAL Truth About Scotty Cameron Putters In 2024

[@pauljazz818]

I tried a bunch of Scotty Cameron putters, and none of them made any difference. I then tried four Lab putters (DF 2.1, DF 3, Link, and Mezz). The Mezz was too light for me, but I nailed a bunch of putts with the Link and DF 3. Then came the weird-looking DF 2.1. Wow. I sunk a load of 15’ putts. I went to a different store and tried it again two days later and had the same results. I waited a few more days and went back and once again had the same remarkable results. I decided to order a custom built version. It’ll finally be here in a few days. I can’t wait….

[@mkcnad4ever]

I hope you do great with it... Somehow, though, I bet my life you start to hate it inside of a year... Just the trend I've seen at my local club.

[@hgibson2448]

Interesting.

[@lkae4]

⁠​⁠@@mkcnad4everWhy have the golfers you've seen start to dislike them?

[@mr.football7773]

As long as you've got a milled face putter with decent balancing, there is absolutely no need to overspend on a putter. Like any other club in golf, it's all about the user. A scotty isn't going to give you the right line and pace all by itself.

[@guyr7351]

Totally agree, as a putting coach said to me it’s about technique and can you read the line. You can then use any design of putter and play well. We will all have preferences I like blades, with milled faces I don’t like inserts they for me deaden the contact

[@theythinkimmadyouknow]

But they look great so why not?

[@sragen99]

Cleveland HB SOFT 2 is the best bang for your bucks.

[@mkcnad4ever]

I used to think milled, balanced, all that blah blah mattered too... That is until I played with a guy that had NO putter in his bag at all. Used his driver as his putter. No B.S. Story was that he had the best stats of his life in a tournament he was playing... like tour level F.I.R and G.I.R, but his putter let him down so badly that he didn't even finish top 10. Immediately after the round he threw his putter in the pond off 18. Next time he played he meant to grab one of his other wands from his garage but forgot, so he putted with his driver the entire round. Finished with 24 total putts that round and just never looked back. I'll never forget the day I played with him because my father and I hated our lives after seeing the guy sinking 20ft putts with his driver lol 😂

[@davidbrady7478]

Too many people buying expensive putters & have no idea how to read or feel pace on a putt.

[@guymckechnie1441]

Early version circle T Napa in the bag.. Rotates with the new 2022 Wilson staff 8802. Not left handed, not even a Phil fan, but I love a heel shafted putter with no alignment aids on the head 😂

[@davidmcdermott3415]

I have a fake lefty Scotty I use as my office putter that was $75. The fact that someone put the effort into a counterfeit lefty is hilarious to me and I had to have it. It putts very well and you really can't tell just looking at it.

[@SpaceGhostPurps]

How do you know if it’s fake

[@davidmcdermott3415]

​@@SpaceGhostPurpsIt was $75 brand new from China.

[@michaelreilly5888]

I own a 2012 black mist Newport 2 Cameron putter and it is beautiful and the feel is fabulous. I bought it new for $400. However, the best putter for me on a pure scoring basis is my gammer: a PING 2023 Anser 2D with a midsize PING grip. The PING is staying in my bag.

[@watchr0b]

I did one of those putter fittings with the fancy diagnostic machine. The Scotty milled mallet did well, but the absolute best performer (which I bought) was an Odyssey Ai One milled mallet.

[@angrygardener2430]

Fun video which reminds me how I “saved money” on my Scotty Cameron putter: Trying putters one day in the big box golf store (as you do) I imprinted on one particular Scotty Newport. Sank everything on demo surface that probably slopes to the hole. But it was too expensive ($700) and I’m a high handicap not good enough to justify a new Scotty. Instead I bought a very abused and dented used one on FB Marketplace for $200 and spent days sanding and polishing out all the dents. Looked great but still didn’t have the putting magic so I put in heavier weights and reshafted with a very expensive KBS graphite shaft cut longer (I’m tall) and gripped with a pricey matching Superstroke. I also bought a putting mat and did putting drills every day for months. Magic Unlocked! My putting stats improved dramatically and it’s all because I bought a Scotty Cameron, I’m sure it has nothing to do with practicing for months. I tell everyone about all the money I saved buying used, never mind spending just as much and probably more customizing it to my taste.

[@michaelmartino5100]

I bought a Coronado 2 off eBay about 5 years ago...sent it to the custom studio for a complete refurbish. Had it shortened to 34". Never felt like I hit it consistently solid. Felt like I was always hitting it high on the face. Finally sold it, on eBay getting about 75% of my original spend. I have an Odyssey White Hot and an old Spaulding TPM that I alternate between...not sure why it always felt so "thin"...Best decision ever letting it go.

[@bob5365]

I still use a Titleist Dead Center Putter that's about 40 years old. I putt better than all of the guys I play with who have spent thousands on putters over the years. The bottom line is, find something that feels right for you, and then put in hundreds of hours practicing with it. Practice is the best way to improve your putting.

[@Captainjansson]

I own a Newport 2, but never really felt confident with it. I tested a Phantom X 5.5, a couple of years ago and fell in love. It completely changed my putting game. I feel like it has to do with the larger head real estate and esspecially the weighting, which feels super comfortable for me. Horses for courses, I suppose, but there is something to be said for the newer generations as well.

[@davidlargen31]

I ordered a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Tel2 Trillium after Tiger won The 1997 Masters... Took six weeks to get. Loved that putter... Also had a Pro Platinum Newport 2 and a couple of Super Selects Newport 1.5 and 2 and a Mizuno Bettinardi Black Carbon Newport Style 2...

[@EricCartmenez1]

I thought his insert line of 2018 was phenomenal. Great feedback and perfect feel when struck perfectly. The new mallets are great, but you are going to lose some feel when you are making a mallet - just common sense!

[@Mdrnsamurai]

i have a 2004 studio design 1.5 and absolutely love it... stopped buying new ones because like you said... they just seem more expensive for no particular reason imo...

[@barracatcher6466]

I have a 1.5 Newport and love it. However it has been replaced in recent times with a mizuno mcraft 1. It was the only thing that could prize it from my bag. Enjoying the extra weight.

[@hillbilly4christ638]

The best putts I ever made were with a bullseye putter. Jack used one once when he was struggling and it solved his problem. Those brass heads give you a really good feel. I would maybe wrap the grip with some foam tape if I were to change anything. That way I could put indexes on the grip so I grabbed it the same every time.

[@309bassin3]

Have you considered doing review for SWAG putter or SWAG v. Scotty? I don’t see much reviews about them but seem top quality.

[@carpykeith]

I had a Scotty Big Sur broomhandle when I had the yips and it was great, managed to beat them & got fitted at Titleist at Craigielaw and ended up with a Phantom X8.5! I putted brilliantly with it but went back to a blade with a Mizuno M-craft 4 which has the deeper head front to back and love it! Reverted to my old “Nicklaus” stroke and putting well again! Still have the two Scotty’s though!

[@johncameron6110]

I’ve got this years del mar model and I love it .the weights just right.looks are perfect had to change the grip .but all and all love it.

I have two Scotties. Center shaft Golo a friend gave me and Scottie Futura 6 that I bought. The putter I play with is a.PXG Closer with two 15 Oz weights 95percent of the time the other putter I play with is. Meridian oil can finish putter which is just as good as the PXG.

[@brentonday7438]

No desire for a new Scotty, but the old ones are works of art. I have several in my collection and I putt better with them than I do the new Odyssey and LAB putters, which are absolute abominations to look down at. Give me a 20+ year old Santa Fe or Pro Platinum Mid Slant or Circa 62 No 2, and I will drain putts all day long.

[@jimorr3252]

[@waywardwest]

Scotty's are a status symbol more than anything else and I own one. I have a Pro Platinum that's in mint condition but I've used a Yes! Tracey ever since it came out because it feels and rolls the ball better than my SC putter ever has. The one SC putter I really loved but I couldn't have afforded was the first Terrilium(sp) ones like Tiger used when he first turned pro. The down side is the finish was awfully fragile. My friend bought one and it started to rust just from playing in the rain. The fertilizer from the course also ate the finish off on some spots.

[@bjm1711]

I’ve had a Newport 2 for years - absolutely love it and can’t think of a reason to buy anything else. Regardless of make or model, if you like it and you putt well with it, why would you want to change?

[@mkcnad4ever]

Holy shnikes that course he's at is SO PURE!! Hats off to the Super... And his assistants of course... WOW! 😍

[@industrialpalletworx3548]

I used a Scotty Cameron Teryllium for the better part of 20 years. Loved it, but I couldn't putt with it. Switched to a Spider and holy sh*t I can putt. On the SAM putt lab, my efficiency and accuracy numbers were ridiculously good. Great putting is all about can I hit my line with the intended speed. Anything outside of that is a different skill. Green reading is essential but doesn't factor into how well you rolled the ball. More great putts are missed than made.

[@isthereanavailable]

I think the answer to why Scottie Cameron don't re-release the older putters is because of value. If they do a second run of the older version, without making it different, it would hurt the value for the original run, and it would hurt the brand, as people collect them. I have a futura x5r that is going about $100 less than what I paid for it several years ago, in the second hand market. Honestly, I think they are re-releasing them, just giving them different names/branding, while trying out a couple different designs, and we don't have to give up an arm and a leg to get our hands on one, if we desire to buy one.

[@theythinkimmadyouknow]

I have a SC Phantom X 5 and love it. Looks good, perfoms really well and makes me happy owning it. Not for everyone as thankfully we all have different tastes.

I’m a big Scotty fan, but same as you James, much prefer the old ones. Just something special about them and they still perform amazing as well.

[@grahamfox7568]

I have the phantom 12 and it's great for me, I also have a Tri-hot 5k double wide and a PXG Brandon with an M16 shaft. The Scotty is a mallet and I really do love it, I'm not that keen on the tri-hot and the Brandon being a blade is pretty damn good as well as good on the eye. The reason and only reason I have not picked up a Scotty blade is there are just too many fakes out there, for my untrained eye it's just a minefield. Buying from golf clubs for us for example I would feel I'm paying well over the top for a second handclub. So I guess it's the more modern stuff like the Phantom 12 for me, I picked mine up in as new condition for just £180 and I'm pretty damn sure it's no fake or if counterfitters have even bothered to try copying them.

[@honkerh8r564]

I make some nice putts and I miss some easy putts with my Scotty. But I enjoy using it, and that's what counts.

[@Skidddersss]

Bit like 'you should drive a Volvo' but you really want a Porsche. Scotty's are iconic. I also think you play better with kit/equipment that you cherish. Got a bunch of Scotties and enjoy them all but found the Newport 3 and love it - suits my eye and looks sharp.

[@tezzlacoilz]

Sorry mate but I think it's more like you should drive a new Volvo or VW with power steering, great suspension and handling, but really you want to drive an old mustang. It looks wicked, everyone goes wow, but the tech in it is ancient and it doesn't drive anywhere near the way a modern car does. That's a Scotty Cameron. No new design or technology just rehashed old ones with new paint jobs. Yes it can get you from A to B, yes it's not terrible. But really they are charging you exorbitant $$$ to look good on the course, not any RnD to actually make a better product

Scottys are nice to look at and have a good feel, but I putt well with a cheap Teardrop putter. 14 single putts in a round is my record. Ok, they weren't all for birdies, but it's what looks and sits well for you. I'm convinced that most golfers use putters with shafts that are far too long for them. Shorter means more feel and control.

Damn that old SC Newport is going for $249....🤔 Might be time to let her go...it's collecting dust😅😂 Edit: I enjoyed the old black carbon series he had. Like the JAT, or the more blade models in the black carbon finish. So soft and responsive. It's hard to justify the $ on SC when you can go to a smaller independent putter company and basically design the putter from scratch, like head material, headshape, weight, hosel configuration, toe hang, grip and lastly loft/lie. I miss the old Byron Morgan, or Scratch Golf Company where you had all those options...so cool 😎

Scotty Cameron has always done well with blade style putters for players that have a moderate to strong arch in their stroke. But for players having only a small arch, or are straight back-straight through players and\or are looking for a mallet putter they just don't have any compelling offerings. And I'm not sure Scotty Cameron ever had a product that was for that demographic.

[@brianmcpeake2509]

The new mallet shapes never suited my eye. I like a wider blade style and current game a Bettinardi SS28 slot back. It's been a fantastic club.

[@Hunter-zp5hd]

I don’t really think that SC putters have had any serious technological advances in years. They pretty much use the same weighting concepts that putters have been using for a good while. The reason SC putters are liked is mainly due to Tiger Woods. If Tiger never used one, I doubt many people would be so stuck on them. They are very good quality. But there are other putters that have much better tech in them, such as LAB. But putting is so personal and it also depends on what suits your eyes. I used a LAB but I couldn’t stand looking at it. It did perform well. Who knows maybe sometime later on I’ll get used to an LAB because I do think they are onto something.

@@Original_BenF Those are rather obtuse replies. I asked a simple question, to which, with your expert knowledge, you could have replied GSS means ...

[@johnatchley9754]

The only things you need to consider for any putter to work just fine are (1) whether you naturally favor a toe hang model and have a bit of arc in your swing, or a face balanced model and swing the head straight back and through, and (2) whether the grip feels comfortable and helps you swing the head your way, be it thick or thin, pistol style or straight, round or square or triangular or oval in profile. It’s important that your hand holds the grip exactly the same way each time, falls into position naturally without thinking too much, because a slight change can alter the path and cause a slight in to out or out to in move, or slightly closed or open face, either of which can make you just miss that 6 foot straight putt to the left or right. You even see pros miss like that when it might cost them $50,000. So never get angry if you miss, just think why, try to learn, and move on.

[@paulbutler6112]

Much prefer my Ping putters - B61, Zing (BeCu), Zing 2 and Anser. Don’t have time for fang shaped putters. Waste of mega bucks cash. I think putters are vastly over engineered and are only as good as your technique. You don’t have to spend loads to find a putter that works for you…

Swag or Scotty in the bag James?

[@larryzimmer3766]

I have a Scotty futura but putt better with a 150 dollar Cleveland putter.

Imagine Scotty made drivers instead of putters. Essentially they would just keep rehashing the same driver from 10-15 years ago but with slightly different paint jobs and no real new tech, and just kept charging more and more for it... And people would keep buying it 😂

Did I actually see £30k for a putter ?

[@George-ld9xu]

The flagrant shirking of copyrights, much less professional ethics (carbon-copying of others’ designs, i.e., Anser -> Newport) never ceases to amaze me.

Studio Style sucks. Had one and sold it for 125 bucks in like 2018
