Scotty Cameron...Worth it?

That's why I'm looking into a real putter bro. If I had known anything about golf when we played I woulda asked to borrow your putter.

Again, what is it about these putters that warrant the price?

Bao: The more expensive putters have more "Feel" to them. "Feel" is so important in your putting stroke. Some golfers like a softer feel of the ball coming off the putter face, others like a firmer feel. Like I said, try them all out. Good luck!

I dont know how to answer that question so ill tell you this. Go to Golfers Warehouse, or Ill take you to Fran Johnsons when next time youre down here.

Putt with a dozen different putters, two at a time. Take your favorite from each "round" then pair off the favorites, two at a time. Until finally you end up with one putter.

Take that putter and pair it up against one of the Cameron models that you like. See which one feels better. If the $50 putter feels better than the $250Cameron, then you know that its not worth it for you.

I dont know what it is about the cameron putters, but the "feel" when you strike the ball is the best I've encountered.

I've had just about every kind of putter there is and I have a collection of them. Putting is something that is a state of mind,,confidence in your state of mind,,,mechanics,,speed,,judgment. I have a Scotty Cameron as well and for the price I wish I had the money back and bought a box of great cigars instead. I have taken 4 putters to the greens to see which one putts the best and I took 2 robustos. Here is what I found,,,when I putted without a cigar I tend to putt too short or too long. When I smoke a cigar I am within 2-4 inches from the hole on a 20 foot putt. Moral of the story: Use a balanced putter and have a good cigar so that you can relax. I have an old acushnet putter that I bought 20 years ago and it putted just as well as the Scotty Cameron. State of mind and confidence in your putt,,,,that is how you do it.

Get a used one from a 2nd Swing Golf or similar store. A lot of the time a store (even a 2nd hand store) will let you play with them and return them within 14 days if you don't like it. Granted, it means you can throw them in the lake or wrap them around a tree that way.
