Scotty Cameron Putter Fitting... Which Scotty Should YOU Buy? 

James you need to come to TXG in Toronto Ontario Canada. Ian will fit you perfectly with all the tech. Not just hitting a bunch of putts with different putters.

Entire industry built on the original genius of Karsten🤴🏼🏌️😎

I can certainly relate to this video. After using a Newport style blade for decades, I switched to the Scotty Cameron Futura 5.5M with the shorter neck and additional toe flow. It’s easier to gauge the speed on longer puts and the head tracks beautifully if you just let it swing.

Good video. I never fully realised the implications of changing length or the significance of neck design. Have been thinking of having a proper putter fitting for the first time; may well do that now.

Excellent fit session. I learned a lot. I purchased an original Ping Anser in 1965 (Scottsdale) that is currently sitting next to me. "A good deal of toe hang". I also have an original Newport. Tomorrow I am going to the putting green and figure out why I have always liked both. Thanks for the fitting session. Bob Smith 1 handicap, 6 Feet 5 Inches Tall, 73 Years Old.

Love owning a few Scotty’s, but they sit in my office as decoration because other companies have passed them from a technology perspective. James you should try the stoke lab putter the stroke lab shaft and micro hinge really works... if anyone likes that but wants the best get the Evnroll and get the BGT stability shaft or the Bobby Grace with the same shaft

Big Scotty fan, many putters! Currently using Odyssey Stroke Lab two ball❤️

Ive brought my scotty for the next 30 years.... Scotty Cameron Newport Notchback 2 so so pure love it

Having had my Ping Anser Scottsdale putter stolen, after 20 years together, I bought a Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum Newport 2. Fell in love from the first putt, still in love 15 years later. We will be together for life!

Been a mallet putter for years, and got the Futura 6M last year. Thought it would solve all my issues but no dice. Couldn’t get over how it looked at address. Went through a proper fitting about a month ago and went through all brands and ended up settling on the Scotty squareback 1.5. Would not have even considered this putter if i was just testing stuff off the rack. Glad I went through the proper fitting, and love my confidence on the greens. Still can’t sink a 3’ putt under pressure to save my life.

I got a select squareback last year and I love it, visually stunning and is dream to use. Shame the bloke using it doesn’t do it justice. I intend to keep if for a really long time, 10-15 years at least.

Scotty 7M for me- quality flagstick. Really interesting video & goes to show there is as much tech in putters as any other club.Putter fitting is underrated yet is the most used club in the bag

Rick Shiels sold me on Evnroll ER2 which I just bought. Have had a couple of Ping Anser 2s & have owned 3 Scotty SS Newport 2s. The Scotty was the best, however I get the itch to trade it for something new every year. BTW, which putter did James select? I do not like mallets.

The Phantom 5.5 is hands down the most consistent Scotty I’ve used, and his best grip to date. Rhe 5.5 has a great feel, and he nailed it with the sound. “Tingy” not clunky like the previous aluminum offerings. Oh, and the headcover is gorgeous.

Learnt a lot there but still happy with my X5R. I am 5'11' and went from 35" putter to 34" after fitting which made a lot of difference.

I can't say that I have ever been a Scotty Cameron fan, so my answer would be, "none of the above" I went for a Putter fitting a few months ago, with the intention of getting an EvnRoll Putter. But in the fitting, the Putter that worked best for me was the Odyssey Stroke Lab EXO Maxman. I have always had an issue setting the Putter face square to the target at address, (what I think is square is actually open (aiming left). The alignment lines on top of the EXO MAXMAN really helped me to get the face aligned correctly. Another major factor with Putters is LOFT, too little loft and the Ball doesn't get above the grass (digs in) whilst too much loft and the Ball will bounce and won't roll correctly, the speed of the Greens that you Putt on will also be a factor to how much loft you need. The Fitter established that the correct Loft for my Putter should be 3deg and I have to say that I am now getting a much better roll on my Putts.

Owned my Scotty Tel3 Santa Fe since 1997 and would not change it for anything else. New Tel22 putters have been announced by Scotty retailing at £580 which makes my original £185 look something of a bargain. Paid for mine to be refurbished and it looks amazing.

I commented to James a few months back about visiting TXG and Ian....also mentioned he should take a lesson with Larry Cheung while there. He replied in a positive manner. Larry's interview with Ian is definitely worth watching.

is that rick shields brother? :D

I game a Newport 2.5 in the 2018 select range. Love love love that flat stick

Currently using the Newport 3, which you should have tried. Any Scotty that uses a "Del Mar" style head, along with anything 1.5 or 2.5, will have the most toe hang of any Scotty. Always thought I was a face-balanced guy until I got my hands on a Del Mar. The Studio 3 is just a Del Mar with a deeper putter head.

I heard you mention your 5ft 9 at the end. I am 5ft 10 and I cant putt consistently with anything less than a 35” putter. I have learnt so much about putters lately. Grips, arcs, Toe hangs, weights, dual balance. I found the spider x to be the most consistent putter out there. The weight distribution in it gives the ability to swing in a pendulum motion and I just love it. Sure I don’t make every putt in one but it’s all about how the putter looks as you look down the shaft and how it feels as you hit the ball. I’ve tried loads of Scotty Cameron’s and unless your using a 5-10 yr old Scotty (which are awesome) just stick with your spider x 😜

Newport 2 has been the putter in my bag for several years, the swappable weights are great for adjusting to different playing conditions. Splurged on a new one earlier this year, love it :)

Very interesting points being raised and again highlights the importance of proper fitting. Great stuff James

I use a Ping B60 with 34 inch shaft which a few years ago cost me £75 fitted. The only other putter I own is an original Ping Zing (35 inch shaft). The shaft length and mallet style head made big difference to my putting. The SC approach was very interesting but it still comes down to how it looks and feels particularly on varied lengths of putt and different speed greens at different courses. Practice, practice, practice!! Great Vid

With all your travels you should go to Toronto and get a putter fitting from the TXG guys. Would be Great content for both parties

I have a Scotty Pro Platinum Newport 2 in the bag it has been there for 15 years and won't be leaving any time soon

I use a Newport 2 but I put in a Stability Shaft which is amazing really helped me reduce putts over all distances, whatever you get try it with a stability shaft

James, great video that! Have you ever considered the taylormade spider mini in 33 inch length, that’s what I ended up with rather than a Scotty Cameron, you talked a lot of things similar to me when I was deciding on my latest putter.

James , I’ve had heaps of Scotty’s and still have them , tp mills , odessy’s. , Nike’s , pxg, and have tried just about everything , I also had a problem with distance control , evnroll 1.2 fixed it , best putter I’ve ever had hands down , give it a try you will never look back .

The phantom 5.5 was absolute money for me. Love it.

I have a Scotty futura X7M but I’ve gone back to a 40 year old Ping Cushin blade and I’m putting well with it at the moment!

Seemore putter here and love it . Went to seemore and got fitted right from them. It’s about moi, and ur natural pendulum motion and putter ending up square. Take a tee stick in top let it hang take another tee gold putter out at 72 degrees that will show u if ur open or closed putter

I always go with a Wilson 8802 style putter, my current putter is a Yes Sophia, i am pretty average with it though.

I realise that you were giving a preview demonstration of what a titleist putter fitting looks like. But a suggestion from me to you is if your not putting consistently with your current putter the spider x. Change your grip to a thicker grip instead of the standard small grip it has

James very informative excellent format. More videos like this please.

I ended up with the Scotty Phantom 5.5 as well. LOVE IT!!

i am using the Newport 2 and new the Phantom X 8.5 each in 33", i love them both.

t22 fastback and Newport 2 ….fantastic designs , love the quality of these Products (but I am not a good putter)

I love the look of the Newport 3. I've got a California Del Mar but may want to 'upgrade' soon.

I like the phantom X6. I also love the Newport select putters.

The Phantom X putters look interesting, but I'm pretty happy with my OG Scotty Cameron Futura.

Hey James, I have exactly same problem as you have. I do play with 35 inch length SC NP putter. works very well with my game. I'm about the same height as you are! Thanks for the video. I might try out that x5.5

James, Don’t drink the cool aid! I’m putting the best I have in ages with a Bettanardi Queen Bee #6. I’ve had 16 Scotty Cameron’s in 21 years playing and countless Ping, and others and used a Evnroll ER2CS last year. I’m a 6.6 HCP and all my other clubs are Titleist!

Scotty Newport 2. Probably never coming out my bag ! 😍

love the video, thank you for all the information on shaft bends that was quite surprising to me that shaft bends could have a difference.

I’m rocking the Phantom X7 and absolutely love it. Would definitely recommend the putter!

I've been using a Ping Pal 4 since 1999, but now, I've managed to get me the closest-looking thing to that, which is a Scotty Cameron Special Select Newport.

Can't believe you weren't wired up and your putting stroke analysed. I got fitted that way and landed a Newport Notchback 38 inch counterbalance with a heavy shaft; didn't see any of them in your video. Think you can get a better fitting process than the one you went through today.

I have a dual balance golo 7 38 inch and a golo s 34 inch love both of them

Good video. I just learned a ton about putters. I like a heavier putter. I hate when I feel like I've got to really hit a ball for a longer putt.

I have a select fastback which is super stable and easy to lag putt with but has more compact looks than a full mallet

James I would like to improve my bunker play, Not in bunkers to much but need more confidence in my shots when I do. Some videos on this would be 👍.... cheers. Great vids keep it up.

Have you tried the claw grip

whenever you raise the arm it always misses marginally...keep that arm down 😂😂

Changed to an x7m last year love it!

James have you ever been on Sam putter lab thing... Surely that's the best way to get fit 🤔 also we get fit on launch monitors for irons drivers wedges why are we not using specialist equipment for puuter fitting when it's the most used club in bag 🤔... Cheers james

I would be in heaven having a putter fitting especially with Scotty Cameron

Love the new Phantom Series! Time to upgrade... been using my Fat Lady Swings for the last 30 years lmfao

If you get a chance, please hit and review PXGs 0211. I was lucky enough to purchase a set with the heroes program. I too used to use a blade putter but made better puts with a mallet putter. I went with an Ashdon Golf putter. It has worked great for me. I may 3 put once on 18 holes.

Another great video! Wow! Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall for this one! Too bad all those putters are right handed....such a waste! :0) JAMES: I'm going for a putter fitting soon! Planning on sharing the data with you along with some video of my stroke as well, as requested! would have done it sooner but I've been out of commission the last few weeks with a kidney stone! Sigh.....getting older sucks!

James, where would you recommend buying and getting a putter fitting? (retail or a pro shop). Live in West Yorkshire and wanting to make sure I get the right advice and good stocks of premium putters (i.e Scotty & Odessy) so any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

Scotty MB for me. Also the grip type is important

Have you every thought of the Seemore or Dave Hicks Putters as they both have an alignment aids so your eyes and hands are always in the correct position,. Unless I get given one or I steal it from a bag I'm never going to be able to afford a SC putter!!!

Really good video My fav videos are in-depth putter fitting vids

I watched the mid handicap Ping fitting and the putting fitting there was far better. I don't see why spending that amount for a scotty will improve your game based on just hitting the ball. Surely a real fitting would be better than just going for a huge name putter.

I’ve got the scotty x12 really good putter really good putter got my pace better and looks good behind but more suited for a straight back and not much arch

Maybe something for the fitter however is overall weight considered and changed as part of the fitting? I prefer a heavier head weight and would this be changed or a different design recommended?

Only like a non-insert blade putter, like Scotty used to make or a Bettinardi, including his early models. IMO the insert putters just do not feel the same. Then there are the large winged putters, please; might as well cut down a Swiffer mop handle to length & you saved a great amount of money, probably putting the same anyway...

Hey James do you mind to do a video on p730 on course testing

Putter fitting video not exactly click bait viewing material but most used club in the bag. Not much changed in people’s perceptions in twenty years, no issues with driver fittings or $550 drivers, putter fitting and over $225 they still can’t handle. Good putting masks many mistakes though, IMO. Nice video James, keep them coming.

Get an armlock putter. Absolute revelation for short and medium range putts. Struggle with longer putts but rarely 3 putt now

Just pushed the button on the new Phantom X12.... Should be first round out today but think the weather may ruin it!

The only thing that helped me with putting is setting the ball off my front foot ,it sounds weird but my stroke is more square when I follow through , I'm still using a ping putter from 2000

I find bladed toe weighted putters great for long putts but struggled with short putts however with spider not as many long distance putts go in as thwy used to however putts less than 15ft alot better along with better pace on long putts

The select range is better looking not keen on the new designs granted the workmanship is good but I feel they are overpriced for what they are similar putters with similar feels are much cheaper so once again I feel your paying for the name and altough im sometimes happy to do that theres nothing in the scotty stable that grabs my eye tbh. Theres just better out there for less money. Good video though and it was interesting cheers james

I'm 6'3" and i play a 34" Ping Anser 1 milled that I absolutely love the soft solid feeling of! All this nonsense with inserts and weights in every single model takes away from the feeling, Scotty being one of the first to introduce weights :'(

Great vlog I would choose something from the studio select range

Check out Bettinardi. Better quality and full milled face. Innovative designs. Only Scotty I would game would be the Teryllium or early stainless. I prefer heavier blade style designs. The Scott's are too light for my liking. I like 385 gram heads.

Love my 2011 California Del Mar!

Where can I get fitted with a Scotty Cameron in the North East of Scotland? Great viewing.

I find that it’s the putt that you roll on your line is the best putter for you. I have a friend who putts 9th a bullseye putter for 40 years and has been shooting his age or better for 20 years . Yes 20 years he 84 he still shoots 75 or less . So put a putt in your hand that you can roll on your line

Just ordered the Newport 2 Terillium 😍😍😍

Hope I don't have to choose between my scotty Newport style blade to my wife, uuh I'm going to miss her, good video, loves from Norway

No discussion on what weights would suit your swing!!!!!!! - SC 😍 em

the Taylormade Juno black copper is soooo....butter

Looks like you're adding loft with your right hand starting about a foot from the ball

Been watching your Huddersfield GC girl Charlotte Heath in the European Ladies Amateur Championship at Parkstone GC today close to my home. Came in with a 73 but she can come back from that. The course is looking in immaculate condition. Is she one of your pupils ?

Why don’t you revisit the ping Fetch. You were putting so nice with it early when it first came out and you were using it and then you switched to that taylormade. Go back and watch the videos when you had the ping I think you would be surprised on how well you were putting then.

The X12 hands down ... for me

You’ve got to get the classic design If your getting a SC putter

Nice I have studio 1.5 with that neck & slight toe hang love it 😍 it

Ping Vault Anser was my best fit and it remains in my bag while my Scotty remains in my closet as a back up.

It took until minute 15 before the 1st putt dropped. I am not alone😂😂😂

Picking a putter for the looks and how it feels is not a very technical way to fit a putter : ' yeah, I may have missed that putt by two foot but doesn't it look nice!' What any good Yorkshireman should do (and me too) is get fitted for the Scotty and say 'I'll have to think about it' and go find the manufacturer with the same style of putter for a lot less money!

Maybe u can try which I was just told on the golf course last weekend is the butt of you putter should be more foward and lock the left wrist. The butt of your club is back which means your hitting up on the ball and not getting a consistent roll. Just something you could try!!

Well first you need to figure if your stroke suits a face balanced, toe balanced or 50/50 weighted putter and once discovered you shouldn't change out of that type. But personally the price of a scotty is too much for a lump of metal on a stick with 7deg of loft. Manufacturers have conned us into thinking something costing £250 or more is what we need and we need it right now. You would putt equally well with a piece of driftwood with a stick stuck in it. I might make one.......

Great video I an your biggest fan hope you get more subscribers

Newport select 2. Replaced a 20 year old ping.

Good condition Ping Anser.....every day of the week! After all....A lot of these Scottie's are just design rip off's! of the Anser.
