Forum Thread of the Day: “Scotty Cameron Prototype Mallet Putters”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day showcases the new Scotty Cameron Prototype Mallet Putters that have been on display at this week’s Sony Open. The thread was started by easyyy after our forum moderator Pitbull808 sourced the photos, and while the majority of our members appear less than impressed, some are keen on the new designs.
Check out all of the photos of the new designs in our forum thread here.
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.
- Putterdough91: “Uhhh maybe Scotty designed these over the Christmas holidays after a few too many drinks.. “
- sbjinx: “It looks like the more futuristic version of the spyder and spyder mini. I think these look way better than the Newport with wings abomination.”
- ProStryker: “I’m a big Scotty fan, but these are horrible. His stuff seems to keep declining. Everyone is clamoring for a solid head like the old Scotty’s, and he keeps going far in the opposite direction. Disappointing.”
- collindm1: “I honestly don’t think they look that bad. I’ll reserve judgment until I roll them. These are prototypes; he’s allowed to try things that some of the guys on tour might use and put in play. He does consult with tour pros on occasion. Hence, Jimmy Walker ditching the T Lamb blade and putting one of these Scotty’s in play.”

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.
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.
- PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
- driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
- JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”

Wow, nice PXG Operator/Spyder. Another dud for the collection.

An improvement in looks. Is the slant a little less pronounced or is it just the angle?
Would look better with longer wings like the traditional Spiders but I like the alignment lines. Been debating on getting a Spider and might have to give this one a go.

A YES! Milly and TM Spider love child…. This is the worst putter SC has made to date. Who approved this to go to market?

Still with the heel shaft? Call me when you put the shaft in the center, where it belongs.
Jeff

Centre shaft in the driver and irons too, I say.

Hitting a driver is macho….. putting a putter is wimpy ….. anybody who ‘lovss’ a putter is exposing their gonadal predilections.

Macho is the Spanish word for stupid.

Losing profit to EvnRoll and TM he makes these junk.

Don’t worry I’m sure they will keep making Newport classic putters that you have been missing 3 footers for the last 20 years with.
howie
Jan 8, 2019 at 5:43 pm
Beautiful, breathtaking, big putter statement that is not an Anser knockoff. These Scotty’s will sell like hotcakes because they are clean functional designs that will make golfers proud to putt. I love that yellow indicia top lines on the black background. One suggestion, the yellow line should have been extended down the putter face to show the sweet spot. Cost?

btw these are not prototypes. There is no way he is going to change anything within a month before these all go to market. These things are being milled and put together in China as we speak.
Peter

Looks like Christopher Nolan and Robert Bettinardi went drinking and made a putter together.
Scheiss
Jan 8, 2019 at 1:03 pm
Lost massive amounts of business to TM and EVNROLL, eh, Scotty?
That’s what happens when you flog putters to the public that even the Tour pros don’t use.
So now you decide to copy some of the others designs (yet again) to try to catch up and profit
Pathetic

Why do they still let Adam Scott dictate putter designs? Dude hasn’t made a putt since the Bush administration.
