Does the wear on Tiger’s Scotty Cameron putter affect the roll in any way? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing how the wear on Tiger’s putter may or may not affect the roll of the ball. WRXer ‘NikeGolfer93’ raises the subject, saying:
“With the obsession on pure roll and having grooves on a putter, I wonder about the implications for Tiger’s putter.
It’s noticeably worn with dings all over and has a distinct mark in the sweet spot, possibly resulting in a slight concave shape. Could this affect the consistency of the roll?”
And our members have been having their say on the matter in our forum, with the vast majority agreeing that the impact would be extremely low to non-existent.
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.
- MattM97: “It could, so could the wind, the grass, some dirt, a bug, some water, etc. A ton of things can factor the roll just have to hit your line and speed and hope for the best.”
- brutus27: “Guys, at the end of the day, putting is an art form. You just need a repeatable stroke. Those imperfections do not affect Tigers roll or consistency. There are so many other, much larger variables related to the putting surface than those minuscule blemishes to affect consistency. Just my 2 cents.”
- jonsnow: “I know it has that famous wear mark, but it’s not like he’s hitting bunker shots with it. Probably just worn the chrome off from number of repetitions hitting the sweet spot. I would be surprised if there is any actual concavity.”
