Limited edition clubs, sweet mother.

Titleist Scotty Cameron Justin Thomas Limited Edition Phantom X 5.5 Putter

From £1399.00

bloody hell does he come and use it for you, just had a look, he is 37th on the PGA list so he’s not that good anyway ?

But does anyone actually go for this stuff, do you use it or put it in the loft.

 

[Dando]

You should check out his 1 off putters mate.
They go for stupid money in Japan

Thread title should be "Clubs for Idiots".

This is like the various threads re: PXG etc; and yet again I can't understand the reaction.

It's not as though this is the only putter on the market and we all have to pay that price.

If that is how someone chooses to spend their money surely it is their business.

Personally I can't understand why anyone would want to accumulate and play with clubs from the 60's and 70's but I wouldn't refer to those that do as idiots.

Clearly some folk do, or you wouldn't see them for sale. Doesn't bother me, they are not compulsory

Feel free, I won't mind in the slightest.

Is that below your PGA Tour ranking then?

Not my place to be judgemental.

How you spend your money is up to you.

 

[SteveW86]

Perfectly happy with “limited edition” clubs, though I don’t have any. If I had the cash to justify it and a particular liking of a certain player then yeah I’d probably buy something, but doubt I would use it as it would devalue.

It’s like anything though isn’t it, if you can justify it then crack on and do what makes you happy. If we were all the same then it would be boring. It’s not really any different to comparing someone who spends £500 on their club fees to someone who spends £5000.

Everyone is judgemental, even you.

The fact that you're highlighting in a superior way, a throwaway comment on a golf forum proves that.

Not at all, I said I don't understand it

That is a mile away from calling people idiots.

If he was ranked no 1 it might have a bit more credibility, but for me it’s just a golfer putting his name to a putter.

 

[Deleted member 18588]

"just a golfer" and ranked No: 3 in the World Rankings.

Might be number one if he could putt ??

 

[Deleted member 15344]

What a strange thread ?‍

There have always been limited edition clubs and Scotty Cameron have done plenty.

 

[Foxholer]

Which could be why he has decided to 'use' a £1400 (nothing to him really) putter!

I've tried a couple of SC Tour/Circle T putters and they DO have a different feel to his standard ones. But just because it's one of 'those' doesn't mean it's right for any/every putter! One of them DID feel lovely, but the other (supposedly 'my style') felt wrong - though worked well for the (Euro Tour) player!

I'm happy to have found the 'right for me' style and will happily stick to it - with occasional experiments to keep it/them on their toes!!

There are quite a few who believe Circle T putters are actually good 'investments'! And I've had dealings with a collecter of Bettinardi BB43s who has /had hopes of cornering the market (he has several dozen!) in them - minus a few 33 inch ones that are in my collection!

Hence you've made a judgement on my calling people idiots.

Some will use them, some collect or resell them. Chances are it'll keep its value, and some stuff like the similarly rare Inspired By Rory McIlroy, have gained in value. There is a whole ecosystem of collectible putters, not just Cameron, and you can spend a lot more money than that. Some are one-offs made and sold through the Cameron Studio Store in California, some are made for the Japanese market which loves blingy stuff and some are special editions made for Augusta, Pebble Beach and places like that.

Some people collect watches, others rare wine, sports cars, some like art, horses for courses. If you have the dough.

You see this is the answer I was probably looking for. My post was mostly tongue in cheek. How much you would pay for a putter is no different to how much you would pay for a round of golf, car,house etc etc
For me its silly money but for a collector, investor its peanuts.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

There is a massive Scotty following especially in the US and so a lot of people buy them as collectors pieces in the same way others buy artwork or antiques. Some may buy them and use them although whether they'd make that big a difference to a handicap golfer, perhaps more so to those with a + handicap is questionable. Plenty of manufacturers bring out limited edition or one off pieces (the Japanese market in particular) and so if you have the money and the inclination why not
