I love my scotty and I'm not changing it.
I did one of those putter fittings with the fancy diagnostic machine. The Scotty milled mallet did well, but the absolute best performer (which I bought) was an Odyssey Ai One milled mallet.
Scottys are nice to look at and have a good feel, but I putt well with a cheap Teardrop putter. 14 single putts in a round is my record. Ok, they weren't all for birdies, but it's what looks and sits well for you. I'm convinced that most golfers use putters with shafts that are far too long for them. Shorter means more feel and control.
I have a SC Champions Choice (2023) and I bought it because it's a beautiful piece of office art for my golf collage, lol. But I don't game it because my putting is no better.
Fun video which reminds me how I “saved money” on my Scotty Cameron putter:
Trying putters one day in the big box golf store (as you do) I imprinted on one particular Scotty Newport. Sank everything on demo surface that probably slopes to the hole.
But it was too expensive ($700) and I’m a high handicap not good enough to justify a new Scotty.
Instead I bought a very abused and dented used one on FB Marketplace for $200 and spent days sanding and polishing out all the dents.
Looked great but still didn’t have the putting magic so I put in heavier weights and reshafted with a very expensive KBS graphite shaft cut longer (I’m tall) and gripped with a pricey matching Superstroke.
I also bought a putting mat and did putting drills every day for months.
Magic Unlocked! My putting stats improved dramatically and it’s all because I bought a Scotty Cameron, I’m sure it has nothing to do with practicing for months.
I tell everyone about all the money I saved buying used, never mind spending just as much and probably more customizing it to my taste.
I don’t miss a day a week kislux This show..
I’m a big Scotty fan and have used my original 2 from 30 years ago . Nothing I’ve tried looks or feels better. Labs are great if they look good under your eye but if they don’t you won’t make a thing . Just for the record Cameron’s new stuff over the last decade sucks from a craftsmanship standpoint.
Because most of golf is in the mind and pulling a ‘Scotty’ out of my bag just still feels great. A Volvo will get you from A to B just as well as an Aston Martin – it’s better value, and is the sensible decision, just as Clark’s shoes and courduroys are – HOWEVER, some of us aren’t that boring……………..
350 gram Newport Mill Spec, can't get any better !
I think a lot of it is that they used to be the premium product. Now days all manufacturers have a premium line and the likes of lab are more expensive and arguably more premium
I thought his insert line of 2018 was phenomenal. Great feedback and perfect feel when struck perfectly. The new mallets are great, but you are going to lose some feel when you are making a mallet – just common sense!
The old school Scotty’s are the best. The newer ones are bland and overpriced. All seem to have the same dulled brushed finish or black. Where is the gun metal oiled finishes ? The ones that actually look good
Studio Stainless Newport 2 (not the Newport you actually used James) is the best putter Scotty’s ever released to the public. It’s basically the blueprint for all the modern Gallery/Circle T putters
Have you considered doing review for SWAG putter or SWAG v. Scotty? I don’t see much reviews about them but seem top quality.
Studio Style sucks. Had one and sold it for 125 bucks in like 2018
Much prefer my Ping putters – B61, Zing (BeCu), Zing 2 and Anser.
Don’t have time for fang shaped putters. Waste of mega bucks cash.
I think putters are vastly over engineered and are only as good as your technique. You don’t have to spend loads to find a putter that works for you…

Agree, mid 90's earky 2000's was peak. Look at the modern tour stuff and its basically those with stamps and finishes.
Adjustable weights to a model feel terrible compared to solid piece models.
I bought a luxrul red mini Chanel bag, wish I had more Chanel bags, but considering my budget it's cool to have one bag
Finally someone made a video that I can show people to explain why i own 40 old Scotty Cameron putters.
I've gotta bunch of SCs, including five(5) ⭕️T's. My current Gamer is a X9.5 Proto, which while it obviously has a different feel from my Anser designs along with my Napa models, which were actually the last blades in my bag, to me, it is not a "better" feel or an "inferior" feel, just a different feel, similar to the difference in feel from a Player's forged MB & a Player's forged MCB or Player's CB.
For me, "different" does not equate to better or inferior.
Are Scottys of today or even Scottys of a decade ago as "good" as say, my Scotty Mizzy Reason M-300(#84/99)?
Hell no, I don't think so, though now I'm startin to sound like my Grandpap😂😂
"Back in my day, the putters were hand cut, hand milled, yada yada yada" 😂😂
They're still superb sticks and if someone doesn't like em, there are a lot of great putters out there to choose from!!
Stay Well Brotha👊

Been playing that number 5 studio design for over 20 years it was the first run of 500 I wonder if they made more.
Lab golf has completely destroyed these Scotty putters. If you’re going to spend $500 on a putter, Lab is a way smarter choice
Just get fit. Everyone's stroke is different. Once you figure out loft and lie specs, you can put with anything. But for those lab fan boys… ive not seen a single person putt better with one, and they look ridiculous.
Well if you did the math about ALL the putters over the last 15 years. You would see that each brand improves your game every year (marketing). Now multiply that by 15 as you buy a new putter every year to get better scores. So you should take away about 15 strokes over the years. And you should be at about 19 strokes a round. How is that working out. lol Putters expensive are the biggest scam. Have played with great putters that did not spend very much for their putters. Same with ALL the gimmicky clubs. Its just marketing each year for the next greatest gimmick that money can buy. Have clubs improved yes. But tittle in resent years compared to the marketing skills to get you too buy the latest greatest clubs each year. My neighbor shoots in the mid 70s. He bought a new set of the latest greatest clubs. After 3 months he says. Well Im still getting used to them. His scores are the same. lol
I need a putter, not a status symbol.
