~^~ 173 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I have been getting multiple emails from Titleist and Golfsmith with pictures of the new Scotty Cameron models for 2016. They look sweet! Now I can't get them out of my head. I know if i go over to the store and start hitting them, I'll buy one for $400! They say, if you pay $500 for a driver you use maybe 14 times per round, why not pay $400 for a club you'll use twice as much and to score with? Do any of you think the Scotty Camerons made much difference in your game, and if so, why and how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCLeo12 1,802 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I love my Cameron. I have had over 60 Camerons yes I had a bit of a problem for awhile. I have had my current putter in the bag for 3 years. I might take it out everyonce in awhile to used my Craze putter. but those are the only 2 putter I use anymore. As far as making me better I am not sure but commiting to 1 putter and practicing with it consistently has made a difference. 1 Quote Ping G410 LST 10.5 set -1* Flat Accra TZ5 65 M5 Callaway Epic Flash 15* set -1 Aldila ATX Blue 75TX Ben Hogan FT Worth Hi 19* KBS Tour V X Ben Hogan PTX Pro 4-P KBS Tour V X 2* Flat 4* loft increments Hogan Equalizer 50* KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 X 2* Flat Hogan Equalizer 56* KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 2* Flat Hogan Equalizer 62* KBS Hi-Rev 2.0 2* Flat EVNROLL ER7 P2 Aware Tour Scotty Cameron Newport2 Buttonback P2 Aware Tour Grip Snell MTB-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~^~ 173 Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Leo, yes, i upgraded to my Oddessey Versa Tank a year ago, my first putter change in about 4 years. I had the Oddessey Mini Marxman during that time, and an Oddessey 2-Ball for about 5 years before that. I agree you need to develop familiarity with a putter's feel to be consistent. However, sometimes a change heightens awareness of feel. I think I'm used to a insert putter. Anyway, a Cameron is just a piece of milled steel, right?

808nation 1,781 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 The 2016 Scotty Cameron M2 putter is sweeeeet. I'll need to wait until I can get a used one for less because I can't afford one at those prices. I have a Scotty Cameron Stainless Studio Newport 2 and haven't found a putter yet that could match it yet in feel and performance. But, this M2 looks pretty darn close.

Jmikecpa 13,196 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Rolled the M2 today as well as the Notchback. Both felt solid with a nice soft roll off the face.

RookieBlue7 1,701 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Call or email GolfUSA and talk to David about buying one if you're interested.

kfilly20 121 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I got the Newport 2 dual balance last year and yes it has helped a ridiculous amount. Probably not the fact its a scotty but more the fact its counter balanced. Has helped my consistency a ton.

Fourpar18 73 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I picked one up because I love the simplicity of it. From the headcover to the bottom of the putter...simple and no fancy script or shapes. I personally didn't think it was any softer than years previous but on looks along...sweet! I think a good add what the site line on the Newport model. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy mobile app Quote My Bag: Stolen clubs....in between!

Kor.A.Door 5,843 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Lots of guys at the club are hard core Scotty guys, but I don't see any difference in any putter from ping, odyssey, Cleveland, Scotty, I'm sure they are all made differently but for me and my putting, there is no difference. 3 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazz Sent using the MSG app! @bigtazzGOLF on Twitter Honestly, when I listen to Spieth talk about how much he loves his putter, that's how I feel about mine. I've changed the look a few times with paintfill, but I just love everything about my Studio Stainless...it looks great, feels great and has a solid roll. I don't think a Cameron is objectively any better than anything else, especially dollar for dollar, but if you buy into the Scotty mentality, as a lot of us do, that they're just really beautiful flatsticks, then you'll be confident standing over the ball. That's really what it comes down to. 1 Quote Titleist 910D2 9.5 | PX HZRDUS Handcrafted Yellow 75Titleist 915F 16.5* | Aldila Rogue Black 80Srixon Z U65 20* | Mitsubishi OT 105Mizuno MP Fli Hi 4 | Project X LZ 6.0Mizuno MP-15 5-P | Project X LZ 6.0Vokey SM6 50.08F, 54.10S | TT DG S200 Vokey SM7 58.12D | TT DG S200Scotty Cameron Circa 62 #3 350g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnj7911 18 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I haven't touched a 2016 yet, but I'm a BIG SC fan! The feel, the sound...Bettinardi is the only option even close in my opinion! That said, I've recently adopted a new terrible habit of shutting the face on my Squareback. Anyone try different weights in their Cameron to address such a situation?I suppose I could just practice...

I experiment with different weights on my Select Newport 2, more weight towards the toe to help me close it. Helps me out. But yeah practice is always the best option.

KCLeo12 1,802 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 My buddy bought a 34' and 35" Newport 2. I rolled a few with it before or round and sunday and it was pretty good. The sound was odd to me but the feel was great. Still nothing I would replace my buttonback with.
