KevinE 214 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I owned a Bett......was a beautiful putter, I was in the process of changing putting styles (arm lock), tried the style for almost 2 years. Went back to conventional length putter. Went with the the Cleveland Huntington Beach 1. Cost me one C note not 4 or more. Only limited experience I've had with a Scotty is my son has one, and changed to an Evnroll. He likes the Evnroll better. I would go with a Bett.

Daxler 0 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Loving the EVNROLL ER5 hatchback. Had been a Taylormade putter guy for as far back as I can remember (Nubbins-->Corza Ghost-->Spider). Can't imagine going back. (As a LH, don't have all the same choices as everyone else) Hello my fellow spys and friends, I plan on treating myself to a Scotty, Bettinardi or something that is a bit more expensive than I'd ever imagine spending I'm only 25 so I really shouldn't buy one with other priorities but I want to save up and purchase something nice... anyone with either kind of putter or something else please give me any feedback you can and some info on the brands. I know I use my putter probably more than any other club so it's my favorite...Thanks my friends and hope to hear good things!Sent from my STV100-2 using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Markelly82 66 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I hope I'm not to late, but I'm assuming I am since the initial post was in May. I would strong suggest an Edel Torque balanced putter. Their fitting system seems to be second to none. Your eyes may be misleading you on where you think your putt is going to go. Give the fitting system a try and I bet you'll be sold. It's a little pricey, but it's something you could keep in your bag for 20 years easily. I plan on it. Sorry if people get tired of my Edel love fest. 1 Quote Driver: G410 LST, 10.5 *.

808nation 1,572 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I could never find a head shape or design that I liked from Bettinardi, so I've kinda stuck Scotty's. Both are high end and high priced so choose one that you feel comfortable putting with and fits your putting style. #PowerToThePlayer Quote WITB: Driver: F9 driver 9* stiff shaft FW Wood: F9 wood 14.5* regular shaft Hybrids: Vapor Flex 3 hybrid regular shaft Irons: Z565 - 7 thru PW & ZU85 - 5 thru 6 with Recoil ZT9 F4 shafts Wedges: RTX4 52*, 56*, 60* Putter: Ben Hogan BHB01 blade Ball: Black Bag: 2015 Ogio Chamber Cart Bag & 2018 MyGolfSpy Stand Bag Link to post Share on other sites
Sluggo42 6,032 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 My evnroll ER3 took a little getting used to after my Tommy armore (quite nice) But the last few games I'm finding that I'm getting a LOT of putts very close on distance, and actually starting to get some to drop. It's just such a clean and simple, yet quality piece from top to bottom.

Bonks 87 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Bought a Scotty about two years ago and have loved it since day one. I played an Odyssey mallet before that and the Scotty has a softer feel when you strike the ball which I like. My advice is to go out and handle them if you can before purchasing. Putters are one of those things that just have to feel right in your hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deauxrite 292 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I have one Scotty, several Pings of various designs, a couple of Odysseys a Lotus and a PCB. Some milled, some not. The Scotty is a Studio Select Newport 2.6 and it is the go to stick in my bag. I love a couple of the others too, but the Scotty rolls that ball just the way that I want it to.

therod 69 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I went totally custom years ago, and ordered a custom putter from Slighter Golf. Everything about is customized, and is machined by hand in his shop. Yes, I dropped a few gold coins on it, but I don't regret it in the least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRose 3 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 My advice would be to spend your money getting fit first and then pick the stick that fits your stroke. Search Cool Clubs, Club Champion, or True Spec to see if any of them are in your area. They all offer a tour level fitting experience and will have all the top putter brands for you to try.

Sent from my STV100-2 using Tapatalk Try not to lock yourself into a choice before you try or test multiple options. The Scotty or Bettinardi or whatever brand name doesn't make it a better putter FOR YOU only an expensive putter. I totally agree, the putter is the club in the bag that gets used the most, so it is worth the extra investment. Take a look at the current and past putter reviews here on MGS. There is lots of good feedback on some brands that may not quite be in your crosshairs. Evnroll and Odyssey EXO come to mind right away. Another thing to consider when pricing, is keep some set aside for proper fitting. It would do little good to zero in on the Scotty for brand prestige and quality, only to choose a model that doesn't fit your stroke/style of putting. 1 Quote Driver: PXG 811x Gen1, HZRDS Smoke Yellow 60g S Fariway: 917 F2, 3-Wood Fujikura Blue Hybrid: G410 18* Irons: T300 4-5, T200 6-PW Nippon 880 Pro R Wedges: CBX2 50*, 54*, 58*, TT Dynamic Gold Wedge Flex Putter: EXO Rossie 34.5" (Tester) Link to post Share on other sites

I have nothing against Bobby grace putters, just a bit expensive if bought directly and not from the secondary market. He has had speed control inserts for a long time and they seem to work. When you were fitted was it specifically for an Evnroll or was it for a putter in general? What was the process? What specs are the grace? The 18 blade is very toe down compared to most Evnroll putters so it may be a better fit for your stroke. Wonder how the grace would compare to the 8.3 that is going to be release next year. 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 588 54-14, 58-12 Putter: Ten S Backups: 6330, ER2.2, Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to post Share on other sites

PMookie 11,734 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 SeeMore isn't in the class of "high-end putters", but one can certainly find ones on their site that are $350 or more. After sending in my videos, and having those guys do a virtual fitting for me, I highly recommend them, and their putters. My speed control is SO much better since switching to the Si2. It has an insert that makes it feel a lot less hard than most other SeeMores, which was the prerequisite to getting one of their putters. Anyway, if you're actually going to play one that you buy, I recommend their fitting advice, and putter performance!

I believe engineering and technology can certainly set the conditions for improvement but if one doesn’t put in the work their gains will be marginal and performance inconsistent. Still that’s some great advice Pmookie. Thanks for the heads up. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder how the grace would compare to the 8.3 that is going to be release next year. I tried out the Evnroll ER2 and ER3 and settled on the 3. Took it to my clubmaker - Top 100 guy - and went through a lengthy process of dialing it in. Correct that it has less toe hang than the Grace. I think the Er3 is 30 degrees down and the Grace 18 Blade must be about 75 degrees +/-. I do suspect that more hang does fit my stroke better. I did see the new Evnroll models they are releasing and wondered myself whether their new heel shafted mid mallet would be a winner, but got the Grace and just love it to death - looks great and the insert feel so solid. I don't have exact specs on the Grace, but the major difference is the lie angle and I'm choking down on it a bit to mimic the length I chopped off the ER3. I had the Evnroll flattened to 67 degrees and I suspect the Grace is a standard 71ish. I have long arms and shortening and flattening the ER3 works well, but standing a bit more upright with the club head a bit closer feels less "fitted" and more nautral.

TR1PTIK 2,594 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I used to dismiss Scotty Cameron and Bettinardi putters as overpriced bag decor, but then I demoed a Scotty (every time I went to the course for an entire month) that worked exceptionally well for me and made the decision to buy it. Couldn't imagine doing anything different now. That club will stay in my bag for a very long time unless my putting takes a considerable nose dive so it's easily worth the investment for me unlike a driver or wedges which are probably the most frequently replaced clubs. That said, MGS has done extensive testing on Evnroll putters and the technology is dead simple/logical. If I had any available to demo, I'd at least consider testing them against my Scotty. Whatever you choose, make sure it's proven to work for you out on the course (if at all possible to test on the course) and disregard anyone else's opinion on the matter. It's your game, play what you want and more importantly, what works! 1 Quote Driver: Mizuno ST190 9.5* Aldila RIP Alpha 60 S Fairway Wood: Mizuno ST190 15* Fujikura Atmos Blue 6S Hyrbrid: Mizuno CLK 19* Fujikura Speeder EVO HB Irons: Bridgestone J40 CB (4-PW) Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 Wedges: Bridgestone Tour B XW-1 50*, 54*, & 58* Nippon Modus 3 105 Putter: Scotty Cameron Futura Phantom Mallet 2 35" Ball: Bridgestone Tour B XS Bag: 2017 Titleist Players 5 Stand Bag Link to post Share on other sites
BIG STU 7,102 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 IMHO and this is bottom line straight at you. Does not matter the brand or cost. Find a putter that feels good and looks good to you. You get those 2 things going then you have confidence. I have seen guys putt good with a $500 Scotty or Betti and I have seen guys putt good with a beat to crap Bulls Eye out of the $5 barrell. 4 Quote Driver Homna G1- X Stock Homna Regular shaft 4 wood Adams Tight Lies 5 wood Adams Tight Lies 24* Hybrid Adams A 10-OS Pro Launch Red R Irons 5 thru PW 1980 Macgregor VIP Hogan Apex #2 shafts SW- Wilson Staff JP II 56* shaft unknown Putter 1997 Santa Fe rusty as heck Link to post Share on other sites
