If you’re not sure, the market is strong for pre-owned Scottys, maybe try to find on that meets your specifications and try that first. You could save yourself money and hassle that way.

Honestly it's all about how it makes you feel. A putter can bring great confidence. If you feel better, you will putt better. I know it made a difference with me. You'll have that 22 down to a 21 in no time. One putt at a time

I agree. I went back and forth about getting my scotty until going for it earlier this summer. It definitely gave me more confidence and is an investment worth doing in my opinion.

I’d find a used one. If you want/need to sell it you won’t lose any money

If you like what the putter is doing for you, then absolutely get it. It always amazes me how people don't even hesitate to spend $ 600.00 on a driver, but hesitate to spend $ 450.00 on a putter.

I agree with your comments. And you may only hit your driver 14 times ($42 86 per round to use the driver) during a round and the way most amateurs putt, they most likely will use their putters at least 36 times during a round, MOST USED CLUB IN THE BAG (That is $12.50 a round to play with it). You tell me which the most expensive. I want the best scoring clubs I can get in my hands.

Absolutely you should invest in a Scotty Cameron. I held out for a long time and finally pulled the trigger last year. Not only did it improve my putting, but my status in the neighborhood went up a few notches as well. People actually smile and wave to me in the course parking lot when I come and go. Suddenly my arthritis doesn't seem to bother me as much. Might be a coincidence but I started receiving all kinds of mail offers to join country clubs, and a bunch offering financial planning advice. When I walk by other players I used the hear comments like "he's a hack" or "eight is enough" but now it's more like "oh, we all three putt once in awhile". The beverage cart girl sees that putter in my bag, and now I get premium service. I'm the envy of all my golf buddies.

Seriously, it comes down to what feels good and what works best for your game. The most used club in your bag so you want a good one. A lot of good putters out there and maybe a Scotty isn't right for you, but my Phantom X9 at 35.5" with a fat Winn grip and the head weights bumped up a bit works and feels better than any putter I've used before.

Putting is all about feel. If a putter feels good to you then yes you should absolutely buy it. The good thing about Scotty’s is there are plenty of different versions that feels different from each other. So go roll some putt and buy that Scotty.

It doesn't matter your skill level. If you love to play, have money to pay for it an want a quality product, I say go for it!

I bought a used scotty fastback 1.5 about 3 years ago and have not looked back. I recently hit my two older putters just for fun as I had not touched them in those 3 years, and was pretty surprised at the difference. The sweet spot on a scotty is unmatched.

I'd say keep practicing but keep your eye out in the shops for a Scotty putter, and if you fall in love with one and it's a match then go for it. But don't force any brand of putter on yourself. And if and when you get a new putter, give it time, more time than you think. Really, the improvement and strokes saved come with hours in practice, there is no other path.

Important in purchasing any putter is getting assistance on the correct toe hang and blade or mallet design. The Phantom 5/5.5 models are becoming as popular as blades on tour. Larger grips and stiff shafts are trending now.
Once you find the one that is you, you can use it as long as Tiger, Jordan, and Rory (although Rory has strayed from time to time) have used the same putter for decades. Amortized over 10 years or more, it can be the least expensive club in your bag (per year).

Great putters, however, it’s best to get fitted for a putter. It is a value that will also pay for itself.

Love my Scotty Cameron. My wife bought me a used one when we were dating. Not even the type I would ever buy. Studio select Newport 2.6. Couldn’t imagine ever using a different putter

I don’t let my wife buy clubs for me anymore. She got upset when I traded one that she had purchased for. Turns out, she was more emotionally attached to the club than I was. I also tell her if she asks that I break even.

Play the Scotty but everyone talking about shaft upgrades?

Currently gaming the phantom x 5.5 and love it. I struggled with constantly changing putters. (8 in the last 2 years). but with this current putter it just feels great tons of confidence. the attention to detail is great the quality it the best. I was skeptical at first due the price but after buying it id never go back.

GET FIT! GET FIT! GET FIT! GET FIT!

Too many people buy a putter because of looks or feel in store, or find a good deal. Absolutely get fit to find the optimal putter specs for your stroke, from there you can find used, new, or custom built putters that fit your specs. You are going to use this club more than any other in the bag, and you should practice with it more than any other in the bag. It must be fit to your eyeline, stroke, etc.

Once you get fit and know your specs, you can get a golf shop to bend your current gamer to those specs as best as possible and use them for future shopping/builds w/ Scotty Cameron. If you're going to buy a new Scotty (which you should funds permitting, you want a "Made to Play" shaft band with your specs on a custom order.

I have 12 putters and can go use any one of them on the course because they are all 36", 71* lie, 3.5* loft, 15-30* of toe hang and a half-offset.

I own and use Scotty Cameron putters for many years as I do now but about once a year and within a short time I once again are using one of my Cameron’s again after borrowing or buying another brand !I believe Scotty’s work best for me I’m all titleist top to ball and gear alway well

Years ago I bought a used Pro Platinum Mil Spec Newport that I loved, then benched and brought back more times than you can imagine (seems like many others have this issue as well!) but this year bought a Phantom 5.5 and thought that would cure all...it did not, as I write this I am back to using the Mil Spec. So all that to say get multiple Camerons so you can switch it up!!!

In all seriousness I think Christopher is right, get fit to see what works best for you and your stroke

Its a great investment that you wont have to really update ever.

I pulled the trigger years ago and never looked back.
Love my Scotty!

Like previously stated, you use your putter more than any other club. It only makes sense that it would be more expensive. That being said, if you are making more putts because you believe in the putter, then so what? If you have the money, invest in a Scotty. I don't think you will regret it. If you absolutely hate it, you can always sell it.
