Scotty Cameron...

[guest100718]

Are they any good? I am probably going to get a new set of Irons (MP4s most likely) and I was thinking WTF why not go new everything.

I have only ever used a Ping Anser 2 and a lot of the Scotty putters do look pretty much the same as my trusty Ping.

Are they really worth the extra cash?

Never liked the feel of any of the Scotty Cameron putters I've tried. I'd go Odyssey personally.

Only you can answer that as you'll be the one spending

I went from a £220 Del Mar to an £80 Odyssey.

....... And yes I do putt better with the Odyssey :thup:

It's all about personal preference, Cameron make top quality products but so do some of the other manufacturers. What's funny is people having no problem spending £250+ on a driver that they use maybe 12-14 times in a round and then are concerned about spending £200+ on a putter that they'll likely use 30+ times.

i love my scotty the feel of the deep milled face, but other people will hate it. It is all about what you like

I was dubious about paying Scotty prices but I had the money and went looking for a putter that I was comfortable with - loved the Scotty Newport but commented to the sales guy 'I'm not sure, it's a bit pricey' - he said 'I've got a second hand one which was traded in' - he went and got it and it was exactly same condition as the new one I'd tried - cost me £120 instead of about £200

I love my Scotty Cameron, and would certainly buy another if needed. As has been said it is all about personal preference. You will putt better with the one you are most comfortable with. I love the look of mine and that is really important when you are looking at it 30 times a round.

Mine works for me. It's all a matter of personal preference.

I am testing some MP4s next week, they are probably the best looking clubs on the market imho.

May as well miss with a £200 putter as a £100 one! Personally.....Odyssey every time for me.

Absolutely worth it. I loved my Scotty. Was the best £200 I ever spent. Seriously. The feel and consistency of the roll made it a very enjoyable club to play with.

Had to give it up though as it was costing me shots. Shots I wasn't prepared (had the time) to work on. Went back to the Odyssey and sold the Scotty so I wasn't tempted to put it back in the bag. Big regret. When I start playing full time and I have the time to work on putting drills again, I will definitely get a new one.

Wouldn't trade my Scotty for anything. When I was looking for a new putter about 4 years back, I was intent on getting an Odyssey based on what people were saying. Went to a shop and tried them all, plus Ping, TM, Rife and a few others, and Scotty just to see. Initially, I thought the Scotty was a touch too expensive, but whilst testing them out, it just felt better in terms of weight and balance, and I couldn't seem to miss with it at the time. I went to about 5 different stores (I was in Japan at the time) and spent a lot of time over my holiday trying different putters in the stores, the Scotty won every time for me. I decided that it was a major club, felt right for me, so I'd go the extra distance in cost for something that fit for me. Been happy ever since - do have the odd off day putting, but know that's me, not the putter...

Ultimately, you should try a few, try more than once, not just 5 mins in AG, go back a couple of times, different days and go with the one that feels best for you over all. Don't be swayed by what everyone else plays, but if your budget is a restriction, then work on what feels best within the budget, not just a particular brand.

Ive 4, not sure how i got four but there you go

great putters, ive been lucky enough to get bargins from local pro shops and have never pain more than £200, the last one a Californian Monterey was only £150 and id be surprised if it had been used more than once.

if it suites your putting stroke, they are great, i wouldn't use anything else now.

Was in the market for a milled face putter and went straight to Scotty Cameron. No doubt they are lovely putters and superbly engineered but I found I was getting equally good results with the milled Ping Anser models (and they were the originators of that classic design) and the Odyssey and in the end the Odyssey #9 won. Very happy with it and way cheaper than the Cameron but at the end of the day, it's personal preference. If you like the Scotty and want to pay the extra for a top of the range putter then why not? I hope you find something you get on with and make loads of putts.

But does it feel like a mizzy though?
