Scotty Cameron Concept X putter

[Britishshooting]

Somehow never knew this putter existed until browsing the putter section online the other day.

General consensus appears to be sheer hatred and likened to a playstation controller on a stick.

I actually like it though, I shouldn't but I do. Can't find many reviews online even youtube most videos are pre release.

Thoughts, a side from the cost?

^^^^^^ This

Man that is ugly.

Meh it’s not that bad. Would never pay that much for a putter though, and I’d always take a putter that works over its looks or status.

I generally am less worried about looks as long as it works for me (see my other post if you want unique styling) but I would never pay that much for any club. It will sell of course because it's a Scotty Cameron. They've done worse.
The original Futura and the Futura 6M which always makes me think I'm looking down at Kermit the Frog. Mind you the Ping Craz-E always made me think I was looking down at someone riding a motorbike.

Will never understand the hype around SC. In my opinion they seem no different to any other putter and come with a worse grip as default despite the premium price

Its not even an "original" concept.

Radius produced a putter of this shape several years ago and I'm sure there have been others.

In fact...now I think about it Radius used the Concept name for their putters!!

I do find the price amusing though I do like the look of the putter itself.

Most of the decent Scotty Cameron putters are based on earlier designs by others.

ugly ugly ugly

When you consider how good Cameron putters look, even the Futura range, this looks like something an intern has designed and sneaked onto the production line while Scotty was at lunch. It may feel great and be nicely balanced but looks wise it's hideous and I could never stand over a putter that ugly and feel confident

Agree. Absolutely nothing special about them. Classic example of paying through the nose for a name.

The inverse snobbery that SC attracts is nearly as comical as the SC fan boys that spunk fortunes og branded gear.

I personally have always really liked Scotty's and personally think that the materials and build are higher quality than the likes of Odyssey as an example. The "feel" is much more to my personal tastes too. I think that my own personal preference is largely due to the lack of plastic inserts from SC heads and the fact that the ones i have own are much, much less tatty looking after use than your Taylor made or Odyssey equivalents.

I do not for a second think that an SC will naturally make you a better putter though obviously.

The above putter is fairly benign IMO compared to some and is as pretty as some of the bat poo crazy Toulon designs knocking around. There are some comedy putters knocking around and MANY are in the exact same price bracket as Scotty Cameron

That ones not for me Tbf, BUT I was expecting much worse.

That wouldn’t even make a top 10 for ugliest driver imo

Now that is seriously too obsessive!
I'm also wondering what your auto spell correct is like.

 

[tugglesf239]

I can assure you my auto speller was only partially responsible for that phrase being used
