Why scotty cameron putter are so expensive

It sounds absurd, but these can roughly be thought of as the socialist and capitalist models of golf consumerism. The thing about the capitalist model is that it includes an element of faith. They may or may not ever buy a particularly specialized putter at all, in the mistaken belief that really, when you get right down to it, all putters are the same, and all the game-making has already been done by the time you get to the green.

But even more usually capitalist golfers have winced at the price of a Scotty Cameron putter. Does it, they wonder, pick up the ball and fly it to the hole on a magic carpet, just to drop it squarely in every time you use the putter?

Does the Scotty Cameron name confer the club with some magical pixie dust that means your shots can never fail? Or… is it just an earthly putter? In which case, how does it justify its hefty price tag? Is it possible, maybe, that a club exists that is somehow not worth what the manufacturers are charging for it?

The first thing to say is that Scotty Cameron putters come from a reputable source. Scotty Cameron is a brand owned by Acushnet, the owner of Titleist, makers of some of the leading golf balls in the American game. So, in the first place, it has some weight in the industry, and it knows the mechanics of golf from tee to cup.

Because there are people out there that will pay the price for them. I don't get it myself, but I'm also the frugal type. Using art is a poor example. Valuable works of art are typically old, one of a kind, rare, and appreciate in value. When an Artist dies, their work stops.

Scotty Cameron could die tomorrow and Titleist could still churn out his existing putters. Cmon, this isn't anything new The idea of owning something that is unique or one of a kind makes up most of the price tag for tour Camerons. I think this is the reward SC gets after they sponsor big names on tour and pay to have all the exposure. Do you think Jordan get paid for using the rusty ?

I don;t think so. The ball goes in the hole more depending on how much more you spend. Even the tour pros don't play that kind of high end Scottys Same idea theoretically works for PXG If it was about vanity, I wouldn't have Titleist F woods still in my bag.

I love the feel and balance of my Scottie. If someone buys it with the intent of not using it, then it is simply because they want to own a somewhat unique item for personal reasons and can afford it. If they are a collector, there wouldn't be much point of acquiring off the rack putters unless the goal is to own one of every production model made, or one of every production model from a given year, or one of every production model of a certain style like TeI3s for example , or something like that.

Just depends what floats their boat. If they intend to game it, then hopefully they have chosen a putter that really works for tgem.

You won't want your playing partners or fellow club members to be thinking or saying "Dude, maybe you should have spent that money on fitting and lessons! TaylorMade M2 Titleist Vokey SM7 Black Titleist Vokey SM8 Black My wife has several Louis Vuitton bags.

She won't try to BS anyone about how nicely the bag balances on her shoulder. It's vanity. That dancing font and 3 circles cost the big bucks. Something about putters and putting separates it from the rest of the game. I personally feel the joy of putter collecting is the enjoyment of it's diversity.

From whitlam to mills and scotty and golds factory and lajosi and Lamont and masda and George spirits and byron and Betty and matsumoto and Yamada and on and on and on But I understand how some have goals of certificates and investment grade putters I just buy right enough to where I can always break even and enjoy them while I got em. Vanity - that's funny. I'm more impressed with a guy who putts great with a POS. James Driscoll won a Web. When I see a Scotty, what I really see is a Ping ripoff.

Why not by an original for less. You could buy some nail polish and put some red dots on it. A club where I was a junior member years ago had a guy that was using a Ping Cushin that he probably bought brand new. I loved pairing up with him for scrambles.

Anything inside of 20 feet was either in the jar, or was going to lip out. One is a Ray Cook Billy Baroo that loves to go out there and show it's proverbial ss to some of my high dollar millings and handmades. It's been in the bag for a long time now, probably won't go anywhere anytime soon. But putting isn't really the point when it comes to the gallery, tour and handmade SC's. I do so because I love the feel, head shape, and abliity to customize the sole weights of this particular putter.

It does not feel Iike any of my other putters - it's hard to describe but that is the primary reason why I game it. To answer your question with regards to others, I think it comes down to a few things: 1 - Confidence: If mentally you feel more confident with an expensive putter you will make more putts. Believing you can make the putt goes along way in this game. Why drive a Porsche when a Toyota will get you to work everyday just as well? I just sold one of my CT putters to a father who wanted to buy his son something special for graduating college.

To me that classifies as an heirloom piece and something that kid will keep a lifetime regardless of whether or not he's using it. Personally I say: "To each his own.

Life is too short. If you have the extra coin then buy what you want as long as it's not hurting others". Maybe the question is why are they so expensive? We know why a Porsche is - handmade from superior parts and a beautiful design. The Inesis Mallet felt quite tinny and significantly lighter than the Scotty, which felt much smoother with a lovely feel and sound.

We managed to hole one more putt from 12ft with the Scotty Cameron and felt like we had a little bit more control with it. We didn't notice much difference here either apart from the difference in feel between the models.

The Scotty feels very balanced with a lovely feel off the face whilst the Inesis sort of 'pinged' off the face. The Inesis won the short range test but you'd probably say the Scotty won the medium and long range putts.

It really is an entry level putter, perfect if you're just getting into the game or you're on a budget - this does the job. Yes it feels lightweight, sounds a bit tinny, by contrast the Scotty Cameron is beautiful balanced, looks absolutely stunning and comes with a wonderful premium headcover too.

Scotty Cameron is all about great performance and beautiful aesthetics, and would be a great club to have in your bag. If you are starting out in golf or are on a budget, you definitely don't need to spend hundreds of pounds on your flat stick. Let us know on social media. Betting experts, writers and video producers.
