Scotty Cameron

[Gdashoff]

If you search the Scotty Cameron Registry there is only one Concept 2.5 Tour that matches (only 6 Concept 2.5 Tours total), the only other black one has green paintfill on the circles. OP, it is hard to compare with the pictures you posted but maybe if you can get some better pictures to compare to Scotty's website.

One thing I don't understand is why some one selling such an expensive putter would spend the few dollars to send it back to SC and get an COA? Just makes the sale that much easier.

it sometimes sits there for a while, weeks and months for a COA. also, COA's are also starting to be fake.

 

i still see the OP's stick is real when compared to the fake eBay listing i added a few post back.

I agree, but a "few dollars" usually comes out to 3-4 weeks and $100+ after shipping both ways. Many don't want to deal with that.

Wow, that would suck.

I'm going to guess the photo OP posted is a fake. Comparing it to the scotty listed from the registry, and from the nedbank, now maybe it's just me, but it looks like where the Weight merges into the Circle T is much more pronounced on the nedbank and the registry putter than on the one OP posted. On OP's it barley cuts up into the Circle T, but for the other one's it looks like it cut's away at 1/2 or a little more of the Circle.

 

Anyone else seeing what I'm seeing?

I agree with what most are saying about differences between the OP pics and known legit examples leading some to believe it is not authentic (circle T, etc.). The one thing it does have that leads me to believe it may be authentic is the presence of the mill mark in the upper right area of the cavity - most fakes do not have the mill mark (see the pics from eBay).

Not true. Fakes have that as well

wow... It sure is easier to identify fakes when you have high quality originals to go off. That eBay one from earlier, was definitely fake and now the listing has been taken down.

? There is no vertical mill mark in the photo you posted.

Those are also 2 different putter model lines.

[Yanki01]

not sure i've seen a fake black concept 2.5 either. the neck on the fake models are pretty bad.

[mister2cool]

Look at the distance from the tail of the circle and the bottom of the T. Way off

 

Also the top line of the T in the weight is very different. I am leaning towards a fake.

It is very faint but it is a milled Head with a cast neck.

 

If they milled the whole head, you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.

 

Amazing that like with watches, they have the tooling and abilities, but it seems they build in the minor differences for a reason.

 

We know China forges and mills for a lot of high end companies so they have the ability to basically make a 009M but they don’t......exactly?

Sorry, I'm not sure what you're trying to say exactly. The putter you posted does not have a vertical mill line. Have you ever seen a real Scotty with a horizontal mill line like the one you posted? If there is one then I stand corrected but I've never seen one.

 

I think Dave in MPLS's point was that the putter in question has the vertical mill line, while most fakes do not.

It looks to me like the weights are different. The space between the T and circle is different.

Thanks for jumping in, straightshot! Yes, I was referring to the VERTICAL mill line.
