Waste of money. Just something for fanboys to show off. Save your money as I don't see the benefit justifying the cost at all. Madness.

not intending on buying one until i win the lottery at the price they are just wondering if they are so expensive do they justify the tag
 
Buy one, but don't dare ever use it or the value will drop through the floor.
I love Scotty stuff because I like well designed, well made things, but whilst I understand collecting things, I don't really get the fascination that some have with everything Scotty. Anything Scotty I buy, I use and I really like his ball markers and bag tags, but I wouldn't buy one because the collectors push the price way too high and they become too valuable to use.
On the subject of the alignment tool, it looks good in theory and I would like to give it a try. I admit I don't understand the plastic oval thing you get with it though, but maybe that is just me :)
 
Just looked at this as I had no clue to what you were referring to. SC seem to feel the need to provide an instruction manual for its use, this will be great for speeding up play (not !!!)

SCOTTY'S BALL TOOL

Its not just another ball marker. Far from it. It truly is a new invention from Scotty in his pursuit to bring you Tools for the Art of Golf. Its name is the Golf Ball Alignment Tool. In short, Scotty calls it the Ball Tool.
Its USGA, R&A and PGA Tour conforming, has been put in play by a number of touring professionals, and will be available on ScottyCameron.com.
This 1 3/16" square piece of milled stainless steel with a ball-shaped cut-out may just change the way you putt forever. The idea is simple. Use the line on your ball in conjunction with the milled lines and "tick" marks on the Ball Tool to envision the line you want to putt on. Whether its the break youve chosen or a straight line to the cup, the Ball Tool was designed to help you find the line and make more putts.
Heres how it works:
Step 1
When marking your ball on the green with the Ball Tool, take a look at your line or break and set the Ball Tool down along your chosen line using the three large milled lines on the Ball Tool to choose your general line or break to the hole. Then, pick up your ball.
Step 2
After picking up your ball, you can then step back and sight in your chosen line to the cup using the Ball Tools three lines to create what Scotty calls the railroad effect. These are the imaginary lines on which we try to envision the ball tracking to the hole. Say youve lined up the center of the Ball Tool a little left. Look at the smaller tick marks on the Ball Tool and determine how far. Did you miss a half-tick, one or two?
Step 3
When youre ready to putt, use the A.I.M (Alignment Integrated Marking) sidestamp on your Titleist -- or your own line -- and set it along the center line on the Ball Tool.
Step 4
Remembering that you originally aimed the Ball Tool a little left of your chosen line, dial in the line on your ball (dont move the Ball Tool) according to the number of ticks you think you were off.
Step 5
Pick up the Ball Tool, then putt using the line youve chosen.

Do you think doing that on every putt will not slow you down ???

probably speed play up that will because you will sink every putt first time

Only you can decide if they justify the price. If you've got the money and you want one then go ahead, if not then don't bother.

Simples.

Certain newspapers would interpret that as - you 4-putted from 50' with a Scotty! :D

Sorry. It is, indeed just a lump of metal on a stick. If it happens to work well, fine, But Scotties ain't any more magic than any other brand - other he'd just make the one style after all, and wouldn't make any changes to it year on year!

As for the alignment aid. Just demonstrates how gullible/desperate some folk can be! Well made but vastly over-priced. Just like the rest of his gear.
