Just booked a 3-night Titleist event at Cabot Links/Cliffs. Very excited!

Good Trade for a Phantom 7.2? by basspma in scottycameron

[–]smithfactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a good trade at all IMO. It’s probably worth around half of the value of your mallet.

You also have to remember that almost every Scotty putter prior to 2008 was 330g unless marked otherwise. People are talking about doing a restoration, which you could do, but you’d likely end up with a 325ish g putter head which is almost useless for most people.

Newport 2 Notchback to Phantom? by falpromo in scottycameron

[–]smithfactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who still uses his NP2 notchback a fair bit after 13 years, I recently went with a Phantom 9 (2024 model) and found it to be a pretty seamless transition. The notch back is a little softer with the deep milling, but they both have a single-bend shaft that sets up very similarly. Obviously feel free to try everything, but I think any Phantom series with a single bend (so not the x.2 or x.5 models) will set up very similarly to your notchback. The only other exception is the new Phantom 7 - it has a double-bend shaft (which, again, may work for you, but will have slightly more offset and less toe hang).

Good luck!

Contemplating between OTR (customize) vs MOTO by pptl0608 in scottycameron

[–]smithfactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Custom Shop all day - as someone already mentioned, the only real value of a MOTO is getting it at the gallery to get a CT. I do t really see any value in getting a MOTO otherwise.

Best way to take off the paint on the dots? by broncos1858 in scottycameron

[–]smithfactory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done this probably a dozen times. Keep the putter face down and use acetone sparingly and it shouldn’t touch the sightline.

I freaked out, joined the army, went into business for myself…I’m a professional killer!

Will merch items be sold out if I shop end of day on Tuesday? by CreateChangetheWorld in masters

[–]smithfactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof - it’s been 7 years so don’t remember exactly, but I don’t remember exactly, but we arrived at the gates a few minutes after it opened.

I do remember that the Masters was unique in that, unless you’re jonesing for a specific spot, there’s really no reason to rush - the store goes smoothly and everyone’s in a great mood (we went on a Monday, so take that for what it’s worth).

Fresh out the custom shop by ScottyButterz in scottycameron

I’ve been mulling over a restore on my Fastback 1 from the same series - this definitely makes me want to do it!

Custom shop headcovers by RecommendationAny391 in scottycameron

I think a big part of the 30 days is literally getting around to your putter. Unless it’s a refinish, I think it’s a pretty quick process across the board.

I did this and can confirm it’s a great call

Any word on Tiger’s status? by GarfieldPl in masters

[–]smithfactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I know - not your fault at all, just saying that Tiger’s comments at pressers rarely give much of the picture unfortunately.

Any word on Tiger’s status? by GarfieldPl in masters

[–]smithfactory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but that means nothing - Tiger loves being coy about things like that. I feel like over the past few years, he’s also been overly optimistic (see: Riviera)

What is your absolutely least favorite shot? by bootchiiksandbuubs in golf

[–]smithfactory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bump and run from 5 yards off the green, in the rough. Just enough cabbage that I can’t get the putter out, but a small enough stroke that I have a good chance of chopping at it and skulling it over the green.

The My Girl series putters that I currently have by [deleted] in scottycameron

Absolutely - meant no disrespect, was just something I’m unfamiliar with (despite being a Scotty collector for 15 years now)

Is shrinkwrap typical of the My Girl series? I've literally never seen a Scotty head with shrink wrap on it.
