Moecat Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 There's some potential there. Too bad Ari and Jeff McCoy were in such a rush to have these displayed at Orlando this year (2010). Some extra grinding here and there would have made a big difference in aesthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbush25 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I agree, the putters look a little unfinished in these pics. I would like to see what the finished product will look like. If they put the effort in the putters that they have put in everything else then these will be some top-notch putters. There's some potential there.

Jballmn Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 GREAT looking putters! Love my Scratch wedges, I'm sure I'd love the putters as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golf Hound Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I agree. They could do with better finishing. Shame about the welded hosels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilhellmaker Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I am glad to see Scratch is continuing on with the putter program after the whole Gene Nead ordeal that really tanked them. These have potential, but need some refinement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted March 3, 2010 SPY VIP Share Posted March 3, 2010 Welds seem a little big at the neck. Would try them though. What is the price point? Seems like there are lots of excellent $300 options out there.

TWShoot67 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I'm really starting to like what I see with Scratch. Now the putters look like they just came off the mill and I personally like the raw look. I might have to clean up the welds a bit but otherwise they look good.

PoorGolfer Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Why is the welding between the head and the hosel made in such a poor way?? Addicted to golf since February 2008 Best Score: 89 Birdies: 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moecat Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Why is the welding between the head and the hosel made in such a poor way?? They were in a time crunch to get these done for the 2010 PGA Merchandise Show. Couldn't be helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagolf31 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I was reading about these one "another forum" and Ari himself said that he brought these to the show unfinished as kind of an idea to potential customers as to what they were capable of doing. These are in the "raw" stage and I have seen pictures of Ryan Moore's (former?) gamer and it was finished of very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeves Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Anything out of this 'shop' will be amazing. Loved the close up of the Scratch bag at the start of Sunday's Phoenix Open... Scratch rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEM Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I have to agree...they look rushed, and a lot of potential; Do the welds have to be that thick looking? It doesn't look pleasing to the eye.

Scratch irons and wedges are way to polished an pretty to have a clunky putter dragging behind.

MmmmmmBuddy Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 The Scratch fellas started their shop about 5 min from my house. There is still a retail store in town, even though they have moved the Tour Shop to Tennessee. I will make an effort to get over there and snap a few photos for the board.

Addicted2Golf Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Geez guys - give Scratch a little bit of a break. MGS is just is trying to give us a not ready for prime time peek into what's coming from them. I will tell you... what peeked my interest is seeing on Twitter the mention that Don White will be working on the putter that will be awarded to the contest winner. Don White, for those of you who don't know, is a legendary clubmaker who has moved from MacGregor to Scratch. Google him for more info. Getting Don is a major accomplishment for them.

MGS is just is trying to give us a not ready for prime time peek into what's coming from them. +1. I think it says near the top that these aren't finished. If you know Scratch, then you know that the final products are going to be first class. No way that they would spend all this time building up a quality reputation just to throw it away by putting out putters that don't meet those standards.

There are finished models in the boards. http://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/325-scratch-jeff-mccoy-hand-made-putter-heading-to-lpga-tour/ I don't think we need to discuss how unfinished these are anymore.
