I think all manufacturers produce stronger lots on their 'game improver' sets (even Miznuo) ... the Srixon 945 are more aligned to the MP4 lofts, I'm just not sure if I could hit them
yes, they have even stronger lofts than my GI JPX825's.

Most putters these days can trace there roots bag to older models but as far as the x5r being an Odyssey rip off, since when have Odyssey been using removable weights?

Whilst this is true, cameron has been using removeable weights since before these came out, so are they now copying him?
It is true though that scotty basically has a big expensive putter xerox machine. Usually it's ping getting the copier treatment.

I'll probably end up sticking to the Anser.

But back to your original question of are they any good and are they worth it - I believe that they re.
If the OP is determined to get a milled face, there are plenty of options much cheaper including brands like Cleveland. Just found these at a steal

Weren't Taylormade doing it before Scotty Cameron with the original spider mallets (Itsy Bitsy)?
Ok not in the sole but still adjustable weights.
Agree re: Ping copies too.

You're never going to get a decent view from threads like this as opinion is polarised. Personally, I have had and tried many many ping putters over the years and not one of them has come close to the feeling I get from my SC Newport 2. That's just me though, only way to know for sure is try one for yourself

Love mine.... Some people think it's ugly as sin, but I don't mind the symmetry on it..... Best thing to do is try as many as you can and have gun along the way. I also like the Seemore putters, but they are quite rare to find....

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:
I also went from a £220 Scotty but to a 2nd hand £40 odyssey and putt better with the odyssey!
Still love my Scotty though. Would never get rid

Always thought they looked good but never stretched to it... Really good putters for half the price.
Enjoy though ;-)

Why not try and go full mizzy and try the MP T-104.

Every Ping putter I have ever picked up has felt like it was made by fisher price. No idea why. They just do. Apart from my dads original becu b60 which is gorgeous. But hopeless from long range. Deadly from 6 foot though. I was so upset at having to give it back, but it wasn't for me.
Odessey putters sit closed to me. They always do. Again, no idea why. I line it up, and if I relax my grip, it flips closed. No good to me.
I have 3 Scottys. Love them all. I will never sell them.
But my putter of choice is in my sig. Never compromise half mallet. I love it. I have bonded with this in a way that will never be separated. We will be buried together. The love of my life.

Is it just the name Scotty Cameron that makes these putters so expensive or is there something else in the manufacturing that accounts for it? My only experience of them is picking one up in my pro shop and thinking that's a lot of money for a putter that looks pretty much like an anser putter. What is it about them that makes them worth so much more?

No. Marketing makes them expensive. They are very well made, but it all comes down to what people will pay. Why sell cheaper, when they sell enough at the price they are.
Are prov1s really worth £45 a box?

Tried most of the scotty range, just can't get along with them. Had a newport for 6 months, putted like a 28 handicapper with it. Changed to the current ping in my sig and I sub 30 putt most rounds.

Would never pay for one, but since it was free it's in the bag. If the cash was my own I'd have something cheaper and a couple of lessons on how best to use it
