Spotted: New Scotty Cameron Putters at the Sony Open

We spotted three new Scotty Cameron putters at the Sony Open in Hawaii this week, where they’re being testing by PGA Tour players. Titleist is yet to announce any new Scotty Cameron models, however, so we can’t confirm if or when these putters are coming to retail.

Each of the mallets (T5MB, T5S and T6M) has a multi-material design and color scheme similar to Scotty Cameron’s current line Futura of putters, which includes the X5, X5R, X7 and X7M models.

I think these are great. Cameron has come out with decades and decades of classic designs. As a designer, how do you develop your craft (and the game of golf) if you’re releasing the same model of putter over and over and over again? If you want a classic Cameron, jump on eBay and grab one of Cameron’s many classic models. Otherwise, I think it’s great to see technology improving the game of putting. Stoked for these to hit the market.

don’t know what happened to the classic cameron designs. these are awful, I’m ok with a few high MOI designs, but what happened to the California models? those were awesome, seems all the better looking putters are saved for the gallery designs which are 2k plus. if I’m spending that on a putter it better putt itself and avg 18 putts a round

Well I finally got to play my first round with a Scotty Newport 2 on holiday…. Love the look of those red glass dot things on the back.
Hahahahaha what a piece of tinny sounding junk. Identical feel to my wife’s $12 Dunlop Anser special. Marketing genius, zero substance.

BRB I’m going to stick a ‘tour use only’ label on all my clubs just to wind my club mates up.

Same old tired looking designs but you have to hand it to Scotty for his marketing genius.

If they still feel as hollow and tingy as the x5, then they’re the most overpriced putters in history

The T6M is hideous. I get it, I understand the concept, but I don’t want to putt with an alien probe.

Interesting clubs at top of bag – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, users are talking about top of bag setups that are non-traditional or thought-provoking in some way. Original poster @SuperSpurs106 inquired about other members who might use unorthodox set-ups to help with gapping issues or weak spots.

They wrote:

“I currently have a PING G430 driver, TM Qi35 3W and a TM Qi4D 7W. Driver and 7W are fine but can’t get on with my 3W and have always struggling with this club over the years. Thinking of adding a 2H which I know would look odd. Just wondering if anyone else had a weird set up at the top of their bag?”

Our members in the forum have offered up their thoughts and personal experiences with non-traditional top of bag set-ups, and their reasoning for thinking outside of the box to begin with. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

BowMain42: “Don’t worry about what “looks” odd. If the club does what you need it to do, it’s the right club.”
scooterhd2: “I cant hit 3 woods either. Thats why I roll with a unicorn XL Hibore 2 wood. 400 cc head at 16 degrees of loft and its just a monster 3 wood off the tee. Off the deck, we are playing the f6 baffler. 5 wood at 41.75 inches and its easy to control.”
phizzy30: “I had driver, 3 metal, 2/4 hybrid once upon a time as a higher ss player. 4 hybrid is gone and in place is a driving iron nowadays. I don’t think what you’re proposing is weird in anyway, however the yardage gap might be glaringly huge between driver and 2 hybrid. What is it about your 3 metal that has got you all messed up? You could always go 4 metal with shorter shaft and see if that works.”

Members of the Mini Driver Club – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has gone searching for fellow users of a mini driver. In a post, @TightFade asked for other mini driver users to chime in with their weapon of choice, the reason for employing a mini, and what club follows it in the bag.

@TightFade asked:

“What mini are you playing? What spot in the bag did it take over? What’s the next club after it? For me: Elyte mini 13.5. Replacing 3w. Next up club looks like it’ll be 5w.”

Our members in the forum have been sharing their own bag setups featuring the mini driver, and the various reasons they purchased one in the first place. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

RCGA: “Ping G430 Max 12* ‘Thriver.’ Next club is a 4w and 2i (I play a weird course).”
JMB3: “R7 at 12.75 with Diamana BB 63s. 3w replacement. Next Club: Elyte Ti 5w at 17*.”
ColdOkieGolf: “R7 15.5 turned down to 13.5 It replaces the 3w. I found it surprisingly easy to hit off the deck, and it’s very rare that I need or want to hit something beyond 250 from the fairway, so next club is my 7w.”
ChaosTheory: “I’m sub-90 MPH with driver. But I’m able to hit DOD. I have been wanting something like the R7 15.5, so I just ordered one. I have a spot in the bag so nothing has to go. But I could see it replacing my trusty 4 wood, which I never use for approach shots. Just tee shots and lay ups. If I drop the 4 wood, I will turn my 7 wood down to ~20 degrees and will have good gaps. I recently tried a thriver build: 12 degree driver turned to 14, with a heavier 44 inch shaft and added head weight. I hit it great. Very accurate and not overly high, but the problem was that it sometimes went as far as a typical drive. And that’s not what I needed. So I will probably turn the 15.5 up to 16.5 or even 17.5. It’s all theoretical at this point. ?”
