Anyone have any cool Scotty Cameron's?

I could easily be a dope fiend for Scott Cameron gear. It's out of my budget though. I've got a couple of Louisiana event head covers and other swag. No putters yet. Saving the $10-20 I win here and there to cover the tab. Kind of want classic refurb or one that's in good condition, but what would y'all lean towards for your first Scotty?

Newport is his classic blade.

Phantom series has great mallets.

They say “most” golfers should try a mallet.

They are premium putters at premium prices.

My every round putter for a long time has been an older Newport 2 that looks like this. I thinks it’s the 05 or 06 model year. It’s still in great condition and I love it

I have about a dozen putters from a lot of different people. Only Scotty in the collection is a refinished TeI3. I’m more partial to Bettinardi and their price points on the Tour Dept and Hive stuff.

All that said, still game a DF3 lol

Very overrated putter.

I agree, but they are a premium product.

If someone likes it and enjoys it, I’m all for them to have it.

Putters are going up in price in general.

I’m a die hard blade putter guy so you won’t get any objective advice from me…. But would start with a Newport 2 from the super select line to get a good baseline. I can’t for the life of me understand the hype around mallets especially from the tour guys. The need for MOI on the greens is bizarre to me, especially when most guys are playing players cavity irons or blades and low spin driver heads.

I've got 9 different Scotty putters and most of them could legally buy a drink. I love the older ones that have been refinished and I game all of them. Got 5 of them hanging in a display rack on my wall, but I still use them and swap out from the backup bag and the gamer bag.

To me, a putter that looks good behind the ball and feels right in my hands is way more important than whatever science and MOI and all that ridiculousness. But to each his own.

I’ve had several over the years. Only one I have left is a Laguna that my mom bought from their corporate store at their headquarters when she was there in ‘96 on a business trip. I had it refinished in the pro platinum. Still have 15-20 head covers but have sold several over the years.

I have a couple of full-sized vintage circle T towels. One is from their Japan museum.

I’m not far from Bettinardi and go to their Studio a good bit. Their fitting experience is awesome. I can walk into their studio, pick a putter and have them build it to my spec. Amazing service.

Very overrated putter. I think Ping putters are far better than Scotty Cameron.

Based on what? Do people average less putts per round on average over Scotty's? Do the nearly double the PGA tour players that use Scotty's over Ping use them just because of the name and not because they like them better or they feel better?

I have about 6 or 7. My favorite is a Scottsman 944 prototype still brand new with plastic on the grip. It was part of a series he made while he was in between Mizuno and Titleist.
