Hello all! Was just wondering if anybody here collects or plays with custom or high end putters? For example, Scotty Cameron, Bettinardi, Swag, Piretti.
Any putter aficionados out there?

I have a Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport that i love. If not using that I have a milled Ping Vault black Oslo ordered custom from them with blue paint fill and an adjustable length shaft. That was my son’s putter for years while he was growing very fast. The putter grew with him. He now uses a milled blue Mizuno putter after using an Odyssey 2 ball triple track for a little over a season.
Golf and I have a love / hate relationship. Golf loves to hate me.
I can't hit a drive to save my soul so I hate golf. I'm pretty good at chip and putt... I find reading the greens fairly easy so I love the putting... but I'm so horrible, I've never tried to learn the game. It is a lot harder than it looks on TV. <eg>
Use to play Golf at Pitch n Putt course in Burbank, CA.
Wish I had got serious about Golf, reason is PGA Golfer make crazy money for playing a good game of Golf.

You have great taste. The blue Mizuno sounds like the M craft series. Do you know the year on your SC Studio Style?
It’s from 2006. Newport. Newport - https://www.scottycameron.com/archives/putters/2006/studio-style/newport/

The Mizuno M CRAFT Type VI Craft Putter combines the soft feel of a 1025 forging with the precision and control from a fully milled face. Shop this half mallet putter.

I used a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 for years, but I find I'm better with a mallet now. I'm currently using a Spider putter, but admit to being intrigued by the counter-weighted putters a few of the pros are using now.
I have a very early Scotty Cameron 2, and I love it. Someone with more money than sense bought it, realized it was not a "one putt" putter, and traded it in. I fished out of the used putter bin for $25! I also have an Odyssey tank. The Scotty is more fun and fits my stroke better. I also have an old Bullseye that is still shiny and pristine. It is guaranteed to increase anyone's handicap!

They are indeed a passion of mine. Just dropped $830 on a custom TP Mills.

I used to play a lot and have a collection of putters from the 90s. I am old fashioned and love my Ping Anser 2 in nickel (my old Scotty Cameron Titleist Bullseye is a close second).
With that said, for those who love to putt and live near a golf course, spending 20 minutes or so on the putting green is often free (up to a respectful point) and can keep the fun alive until the next time you play.
The course near me has a second putting green and a practice sand bunker for that close game practice that feels kinda chip and putt like too. Then I hit the driving range and wonder where that slice and worm burners came from. Best to all.

The BeNi Anser 2 is my all time favorite. I have 3 of them and 2 Zing 2's. Great putters. Also have both in BeCu.
