Scotty Cameron Putters - Are they Made Of Platinum?

Yes there are some good putter at 50% and lower than that price however I have always been a bit of a Scotty Cameron nut as I like how they were the first putter to come along and be a bit more personal and different with the headcovers, pivot tools etc. I've owned a few Scotty Cameron putters however the one I currently have I have been using for about 12 years and it cost me £230 originally, it then got stolen and I changed to a couple different putters before finally getting the same one I had before for £130 so I don't think I'd ever change it.

So I guess its a personal preference, if you like the putter, the way it feels and sits and you putt well with it then I guess the £250 is justified but otherwise you may find a putter for much less that you prefer, putting is all a bit of state of mind and everyone's tastes are different as to shape, brand, material etc. That being said I would recommend Scotty Cameron's to anyone but that doesn't mean they will like it.

Also have a look at some of the scotty Cameron tour putters and headcovers, they go for thousands... yes hundreds and thousands just for a headcover.

I wouldn't spend £250 on a driver either and think anyone who does must be a little bit crazy.

That is the equivalent of 36 holes at Sunningdale and I know which I would prefer.

Some people will be able to do both and not even think about it, that's the point....
 
I must be mad then, as I have three scotties in my wardrobe, and I haven't used any of them for years. I put with something else, that cost even more!

I could sell them, but I can't be bothered. Sometimes it's just not about money.
 
I brought my putter Scotty Fastback new from AG and can't see myself changing as it looks and feels nice and balance when lifting off the green is spot on.
 
Just bought a new Scotty Futura X7 as I fancied a change - yes it was a lot of cash but I enjoy it a lot and I know it will last. I tried an Odyssey #7 from the milled collection but returned it after one go as just didn't feel right for me. However I had my last Scotty Newport for 12 years and I paid £160 for it - that works out at less than £14 a year! When you also factor in it's still probably worth a few quid if I sold it it works out more like £4 a year - I would say that's pretty good value, no? However that's just my humble opinion 😬
 
Just taken the plunge on a Futura X5 after eyeing one up for a while. Was rolling it beautifully on my putting lesson on Quintic, hopefully it'll assist with the putting woes!
 
I think putters are the most personal of clubs, some people love something that cost £20 many years ago, other change them regularly, other will swear by one that costs £250+. Each to their own.
 
Only ever owned 4 putters in 40+ years of playing. Bought a SC Newport dual balance last year as i wanted a bit more stability over my puts and I love it to bits.

Bit like buying a car - lots will get you from A to B but when you drive the one for you it makes a world of difference.
 
My putter cost a hundred quid, which isn't cheap necessarily, it's not ridiculous either, I like putters, I like the idea of having a putter which is personal to you.

That can mean you've done something extraordinary with it that gives it a story, you could paint it up and personalise it, you could pay extravagant amounts of money for it, you could go on a search for it (like I did with mine) plus probably more.

I often think of treating myself to a Kenny Giannini or Edel putter, or a fancy Odyssey/Scotty but then I don't. I will one day for sure!

What it boils down to is, whatever you pay make sure it works for you.

As for why Scotty's cost £250, stuff is only worth what people are willing to pay for them and clearly, the people are as they are popular and sought after

36 holes at Sunningdale during the Summer (surely that is the ONLY time you'd want to play there) is £315.00.
As I said on a previous thread, I would never pay this for a days golf, but each to their own.
A Scotty Cameron putter is £250.00. I can just about see the value in this, although I still wouldn't buy one.
My "Yes Tracy" cost me £35.00 off of ebay.
I wouldn't feel too bad snapping that across my knee or tomahawking it towards my bag during a temper tantrum.
I would be frightened to do that with a Scotty.
Takes a bit of the fun out of the game for me.
 
I stand corrected. 18 holes (not 36) with lunch with our society at Sunningdale this August is priced at £230 a head.

I would rather do this than have an overpriced putter.
 
Putters are subjective it what's you feel comfortable with. If someone buys a Scotty it probably gives them confidence as they know they are considered one of the best on the market, it can't be the putter then can it.
I'm one of the 30 quid eBay guys and am very happy with my Cleveland classic 4. Great putter for the money.
My biggest putting error....Selling my titleist bullseye to my pp about 10 years ago for 15quid.you can see your face in the grip it's battered by 20 years of bag chatter and from 10ft he's lethal.
 
I couldnt bring myself to part with my cash for one.

Save up your 2's money and competition winnings at your new club and get one. Thats what I did and it felt like it was free......although it took a couple of years !
