If these feel half as good as a scotty, they are an absolute bargain at £39. Get one of these if they have the same type of scotty your looking at, if you like it, and still want the scotty, you'll be better informed.

My thoughts too. For that price and a milled face how much difference will there really be between one of these and a Cleveland

I've got half dozen Scottys most are 2nd hand, one that actually played in The Open Championship when Ben Curtis won. Most recent was a Del Mar California model which is just quality and thought I'd never use another brand again, until I tried a Kenny Giannini G6 Flow neck putter, and after 3 putts knew this was for me. Kenny Giannini gave Cameron his opportunity to make putters and got him started and he worked with Cleveland golf before setting up his own company.

Am now eyeing up a scotty golo 5. It's a lot of dough, but maybe it's "the one" right?

I don't think I've ever even had a putt with one.
I bought my putter about 6 years ago, I was in Sports Direct or similar and picked a few up to try, the Odyssey just felt right so I got one off ebay for £35, never used anything else since.
(Oh, and I'm a crap putter.)

Scotty Camerons are high quality putters but way way overpriced
Plenty of other high quality putters at reasonable prices
Try lots out and find the style and length that suits you
Buying off Ebay is risky unless its one you know you will be comfy with

How do you define over priced? I'd spend £200 on one again so clearly don't consider them overpriced. I wouldn't however shell out for a set of galvin green waterproofs but I know many would.

The Scotty Cameron putters are high quality well made clubs. So are some other brands of varying price. If they suit your eye and your wallet, they are a good buy, and when you come to resell them, you will get a decent second hand price.
The people who collect the Tour collectible putters (and I used to be one of those) often pay a lot of money for their putters, but if they know what they are doing will usually get the money back when they resell. Objectively is any putter worth £1000? Well, it may have been Ernie Els's or Sergio Garcia's putter, but that doesn't mean we can putt with them, and it isn't made of rare metals or precious stones. But if you enjoy owning stuff used by these guys, and you can resell it, or trade it, for what you paid, then it can be worth it.
It is also rather silly for people to always carp that Scotty Cameron just copies other makes. There are a few basic designs of putter that all the major makers use, but I never hear anyone moaning about how Taylor Made or Yes putters are just copiers. Only Cameron gets that attack. Funny, that.

I've got my eye on the s5, had a Newport Studio Select 2.7 and really liked it and had it in the bag for a year but have always putted better with mallet style putters which is why my SeeMore went back in the bag.

There is a lot of hype used regarding the technology used in Golf Club manufacture. Milled face for example, all this means is the face has had a milling cutter run across it, I fail to understand how this can improve the dynamics of the putter. What it does is produce a surface finish that someone may find creates a certain grip with the balls surface that may suit you, similar to fitting an insert into it. Similar to things like forged clubs, it sounds good but in reality what difference can it make to the Club Golfers game?

Knowing what I spent on my Ping Redwood I cannot comment on overspending... Worth every penny and I love putting with it.

There are different types of insert.

Is this something you cant get with a cheaper putter? Does it refer to the way the ball reacts with the putter face and is that only something possible by milling it?
We sell a number of different putters but one of the best sellers and at a very good price are the MD range.

I bought it (the 5 not the s5 - I am not into centre shafted putters at all) It's really really nice. I too putt better with a mallet, so I traded in my Newport to cover some of the cost.
The feel of the deep milled face is noticeably "softer" than the non deep milled Newport, it has a very satisfying sound at impact. It definitely feels more stable through the stroke to me.

I have a couple hundred quid worth of putters. Currently have a £20 putter in the bag.
Scotty won't make you putt any better but they sure do look Purdy. Whatever gives you a touch more confidence in your hands and stroke, use it.

Heard this a few years ago and often use it to justify a spend.
Instead of putting a monetary price on something, work out how many hours it would take you to work for it, then, how many hours use your going to get out of it.
For most of use, money is literally just a token of your time. It doesn't hold the same value for everyone.
you will spend more time with a Scotty in your hand than any other club in your bag. And they have a good re-sale value if you decide not to keep it.
