2016 Scott Cameron select putters

[PaulTudorJones]

2016 models are retailing for $569, any ideas on what price should 1 be paying for these?Surely paying full retail price would seem a bit silly these days

[Captain Nemo]

Ummmm $569?The dollars ****ed so that's about it.

[wazandnic]

Your local pro will prob knock a couple of dollars of retail, as would Drummonds or Powergolf. Doesn't hurt to ask

Haven't seen them there yet (as I haven't played for two weeks) but Eastlake proshop are pretty competitive price wise on Scotty's... they even have a sign (or used to) that said Sydney's best Scotty prices!

[icandy]

15-20% off retail is possible. Recent House of Golf sale was 20% off recently.

[wazandnic]

Dummonds have a 20% off sale on most things at the moment, including Titleist and Ping... but I noticed putters only 10% and don't think it included Scotty's. Especially don't think it would include the new range. Am sure they would offer some sort of discount i you asked or are a club member though.

[Hamo84]

$570 for a putter!! Wowsers..... that's scary money

[PaulTudorJones]

Crazy $$$ indeed, I'm still pondering if the putter are worth the $$$ - anyone planning on getting one of these?

too bad they don't seem to stock scotty putters.

[icandy]

too bad they don't seem to stock scotty putters.
During the sale, we could get any in. My mates ordered a few.

[benno_r]

Considering there are a number of customs that can be made for less than this, the pricing is absurd.

They'll still sell though.

[3oneday]

You hit the ball 80 odd times a round, 30 to 35 times with a putter, yet we all don't blink spending equal cash on drivers or irons.

Money well spent.

How so?

A massed produced putter, made by a subcontracted machine shop. I don't disagree that spending money on a putter is important.

Spending that much money on one that isn't even made by Scotty Cameron is absurd.

Many more brands and custom putter makers, who will make to your specs, with your customisation, with your colour choices, for less - in their own shops.

What about buying a Scotty for $400 and then spending another $350 on mods??

[Jerrymoo]

These new ones, milled head with a milled insert... what's the point of this?

Wow, were have you been!!!

haha, not here unfortunately

House, Wife, Kids, new job etc etc

back now though mate.

Is there where jim posts "there are threads about Scotty Cameron, let's go there" :lol:

I don't want to form an argument about wasted cash on golf purchases, it's mostly pointless in here. I will agree and say a personally constructed putter would be nice, but like a $300 driver shaft, it's also mostly pointless in here :)

[Captain Nemo]

PTJ, what actual model putter are you looking at buying?
If your after a Newport, or 1.5 style putter do yourself a favour and hunt down a Studio Style in these models.
One of the most underrated insert putters he's made, hands down great value for Buck.
You'll save yourself $250 or so, which you can put towards an aimpoint express course!
If your after one of the new fandangled shapes, then go ahead and spend the money.
Or you could go down the TeI route, which are beautiful feeling insert putters....
Just my 1 cents worth......

Others will disagree, speak for yourself!!!!

[Huynhie]

are these out yet? and if so, has anyone hit one? wondering if they are softer than other scottys?

[benno_r]

What about buying a Scotty for $400 and then spending another $350 on mods??
I don't see the point. You've spent $250 more than a custom, and it's still an OTR scotty.

Edit: unless you are getting mods outside the the Scotty custom shop to make something interesting.

Took me a while to tweak to this... [emoji3]

[Dotty]

Is that before or after Binh posts 'They all look the same to me'? :)

[wazandnic]

These new ones, milled head with a milled insert... what's the point of this?

Think the idea is there is a dampening layer in between the head and the insert to make the feel softer and betterer...

[Hamo84]

this is the world we live in! ;)

[3oneday]

Isn't it softerer? Regardless, they'll sell, as will 2017's 2018's etcetc

[FuzzyJuzzy]

You hit the ball 80 odd times a round, 30 to 35 times with a putter, yet we all don't blink spending equal cash on drivers or irons.Money well spent. Hear, hear. I've spent way more on drivers in particular than on putters over the years. I've had my Scotty Newport Select 2.0 in the bag almost exclusively since Nov 2012. Had a GoLo for a Studio Design Scotty in the bag for a bit, but over that same period I've gone through so many drivers and a few iron sets...

Whoever said spending $300 on aimpoint express was a good investment is bloody spot on. Best money I have ever spent on golf.

This baby has been working well with the aimpoint fingering technique

And I hope this baby will also work with the fingering technique when it arrives next week ;-)

Pretty sure he meant the Newport M2 mallet, not the TM M2 driver.... LOL!!!!

Scary to think the $$ I spent on golf gear only to sell it not long after.

[Coopers Country]

Ahhh I see , may I say better looking than the TM M2 as well

[8081travis]

Anyone rolled one of the new putters yet? Demo etc?

[Jazz18]

Haven't rolled one yet but have seen them in person (I'm sure others have as well) and they are nice. The Newport looks a little odd on first impressions but the Newport 2 looks good. The Notchback was the standout for me in the few minutes I had to check them out but keen to see them in a shop to have a roll too.

[backintheswing]

I had a roll of these today. My local pro shop had Newport, Newport 2, m1 and m2. I much prefer my knuckle 2014 squareback

[Jerrymoo]

Rolled one of these today, have to say I was impressed.

Super smooth off the face. Nice putter.

[braddles]

I tried a Newport 2 yesterday. I am thinking about ordering one to replace my 2014 model. They aren't quite as soft as the 2014 model, but I prefer the feel.

I feel for your playing partners getting old while they wait for you tip toeing around the green with your finger in the air!

I want to know what the relationship is between high School girls and Putting!

[PaulTudorJones]

Anyone purchase one?

[AlexMc]

Keen on the M1 - was going to wait until I go to the US in October however they are USD $380 over there - converts to AUD $500 and then you have to get it home...

[PaulTudorJones]

this shits not cheap here or there any more :(

Apparently nobody pays the RRP these days when I spoke to GolfMart on the phone and they wouldn't give me a price until I come into their store. Any suggestions on how much I should be paying for one of these?

[backintheswing]

$540 or so will be about the best you will do.

[Wenz]

There was a Newport on facebook page for $400

[Wenz]

Now removed.

[oldracer]

$540 or so will be about the best you will do.my pro shop just setup their Scotty stand, asked how much for the latest X5, $495, know nothing about this stuff, not Japanese ;) so not sure if that's good or just being ripped off with USDM crap

[backintheswing]

The x5 is the model before. I think they are $469 here.

[AlexMc]

Al, I'm serious, ask them how much next time your there! Can't you get them direct from Scotty? That's where my wife got me mine...

[Captain Nemo]

Yeh, but would be easier to nab one locally....

[AlexMc]

Fairly sure Mearsy said he'd get a pretty stern "please explain" if his disappeared as they are property of Titleist. I tried to buy his before I was gifted mine...

[Captain Nemo]

I've got one lined up...
They will move them on eventually.

[Wenz]

$400 Newport back up on Facebook page.
Get in quick if you're serious.
Pickup Newcastle or post at buyers expense.

[AlexMc]

Got myself a Newport M2 Mallet - they are good. Really like the milling, insert feels good. Best Scotty I've used in a fair while.

[Icestorm959]

What's a good price for the Newport M2 Mallet landed here in Australia?

[AlexMc]

I got mine used mate - my pro shop had them yesterday for $475 though. I couldn't do any better than $500 posted a few months ago from either the US or UK.

[backintheswing]

$475 at your proshop is a great price. $550 here.

[Bigbad]

Check out a site called www.golfsupport.com it's a British site, and has brand new Scotty Cameron's on there for $419 + shipping which is less than $30 i think. If you spend over $600 it's free. Shows you all products in AUD so you know what you're paying. I've just ordered a T-MB 3 iron and 716 CB 4-9 from there.

[Wools]

Has anyone tried the dual balance Newport? Had a hit with one today on the putting green and was quite impressed.

[Napa Man]

Got two current model Scotty Cameron Selct putters lying around if anyone is interested. Brand new, Newport 2 and an M2 mallet. Both 34 inches. $430 posted anywhere in Australia.
