SPY VIP GolfSpy_X Posted August 9, 2011 SPY VIP Share Posted August 9, 2011 A conversation I had with an industry insider the other day got me thinking: Would you buy a Scotty Cameron wedge or set of irons if he began making them? #TruthDigest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy WD Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Wouldn't the wedges compete with Vokeys since both a Titleist brand? That said, I'm sure a piece of string with the name Scotty Cameron would sell well. @GolfSpy_WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY VIP GolfSpy_X Posted August 9, 2011 Author SPY VIP Share Posted August 9, 2011 This is considering they would no longer both be part of the Titleist brand. #TruthDigest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's for personal use, then my answer is no, I think their putters are overrated and charging so much for a little design twist doesn't appeal to me.

Just like with putters, I think there are better out there (best bang for buck of course) I agree completely, I would never buy them to play, simply try to get a set early, and then sell for a huge profit to a Scotty Fanatic that just HAS to have any thing with Scotty Camerson stamped on it. I'm scared to think what the msrp would be on a set of Scott Cameron irons would be. :/ Driver--Taylormade RBZ Tour 9* Aldila RIP Phenom 65s Fairway Metal--Taylormade R11s 14* Aldila RIP Phenom 70s Hybrid--Taylormade RBZ Tour 18.5* RE-AX 85 gram S Irons--Nike Vr Pro-Combo 4-PW True Temper Dynamic Gold S300 Wedges--Nike SV Tour Forged 50*, 56*, 60* True Temper Dynamic Gold Putter--Scotty Cameron California Del Mar Ball--Taylormade Lethal Grips--Lamkin R.E.L 3Gen (Woods-green, Irons-red, Wedges-white) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPY VIP GolfSpy Dave Posted August 9, 2011 SPY VIP Share Posted August 9, 2011 If they play well, why not. I don't care if they are stamped with the name "Turd Ferguson" on them. If they are good wedges or irons for my game then they get a shot. Cameron makes quality putters. The name gives the irons that cred. I am sure people will argue that they are just copies of some other irons though. What it comes down to is why you want it. Personally I really want a newport buttonback. Not because it says Cameron on it, but because there is no sight line and I love the feel on the Tel3 insert.

This might bring me back into the Cameron fold - I love the tei3 insert. Not sure on the new model, but none of the newports so far have lines. NP2 do, but not the standard newport. I was actually talking about the previously released buttonback newport anyway.

Tyk Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 If they were priced reasonable, performed well, and had a good look and feel I would consider it. However, I'm skeptical about SC pulling off that equation, I doubt it is even a goal.

xxio Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 It would depend on how good the design is and where they were made. Cameron prides himself on having his products made in the US (except for that controversy/rumor with a certain line). If he has them made in the US with good QC, it may be worth it.

You gave me a brainstorm I do have a source I can get some experimental Dunlop Redneck unlabled heads from. I think I will get them,stamp them "Turd Ferguson" and paint fill them.Maybe find some pro to win with them and make a gadzillion bucks.
