Well these days only need the gun ?

 

Please don't rob anyone for a putter, that's not cool lol.

Nothing too crazy, but I put a stability tour shaft on a Bettinardi Queen Bee 5 head and added a superstroke grip. Came out to around $600 in the end.

A Scotty Bullseye flange that I used for about 12 years. Think I paid about $150 for it used. 
 

my current gamer, which I was fit for, I paid about $110 new. I was open to spending $400 when I walked into the shop that day and it’s what I rolled it best with.

I have a Scotty Cameron 009 GSS 1.5 with a sound slot that I purchased brand spanking new. That is the most expensive putter that I have ever gamed. I still do occasionally as well.

In terms of my own money, I just bought a Scotty Cameron 95-97 Classic Newport. The restoration will easily beat a Wilson 8813 I restored a couple of years ago.

I just picked up this up with a welded long neck. I love a blade but I also always want something with less toe hang.

same quality as SC 009

Fujimoto x Kitada

Material: Sm490a

Tri- Sole

I had a TaylorMade Daytona Kia ma I think I paid around $200 for. Now just have a $100 odyssey putter. That’s the one club in my bag I need to invest more time and money in

Hmmm...all "retail" putters for me. $350 might be the top end for mine?

(Bettinardi Studio Stock; up to about $450 now I see! And 303ss now, instead of carbon.)

 

Yes! Abbie Forged. $350-ish retail.

Yes! Morgan. $350-ish retail.

I can't remember what putter I used for my lowest score, but I remember the irons. Because I only used them for two weeks 😂

Severely overpaid, but was "custom fit" at club champion for Evnroll ER2b w/ stability tour shaft. Paid in the neighborhood of $750 including the hour long fitting. Also, waited two months.  

 

In retrospect, this makes me want to vomit. Love the putter, but felt like I got duped through the whole process. For instance, I am in the military and I was between the PXG and the Evnroll. Had I know, I would have saved a couple hundred, bought putter head on my own with the Military pricing and had CC put shaft on. 

 

Live and learn. I am 36 and have been a golfer for about 30 years or so. Ive been able to count on one hand how many putters Ive had. So its not like I go through them each season.

The obviously put on you on a SAM putting lab, did you learn something or validate what you though about your putting stroke......IMOP that has forever value less you injure or drastically change your flat stick stroke 

 

How was the stability shaft justified in review of the performance

Yeah, they put me through the SAM lab which like you said validated what I already knew about my putting stroke. That being said, I did like the process and think that it was beneficial. I do wish that I would have received the print out from CC of my putter fitting.

 

In terms of the  justification of the stability tour shaft, it wasn't. Basically, I watched the TXG video prior to going to CC and wanted to know more about it. After trying out several putters I narrowed my search to the PXG Closer and the Evnroll ER2B. When you go to CC they don't have different shafts to try with different putters. They had the original Stability shaft on a no name putter. I hit the two putters I was interested in, made my decision, then I tried the shaft on the CC stock putter. I might add that the other putter was much lighter in weight. Definitely wasn't apples to apples. From there the CC rep said he really liked them and had been fitting a lot of people in to them, and mentioned that they had another option that had released recently, he told me that the Stability Tour(which matched the color scheme of the Evnroll better as it was black/ red) was made with better materials, had a slightly thinner profile. At this point I was committed and made the decision to go "all in". 

 

I want to be clear, I am extremely pleased with my set up of the Evnroll ER2b with stability tour shaft. The fitter added one inch to make playing length 35" and we took the loft to .5. Putts per round are down, which is directly related to getting a new putter in one of a couple ways. 1) Fitting- this putter is fit to me, I know its to my specs and I find it aesthetically pleasing. There is something to be said for lining up over the ball and knowing that the club was made for YOU.  2) Practice. I am practicing way more. I practice at home while watching football during the week and I have gone to the course to exclusively practice putting 3) Combination of both. 

 

All in all, it was a good experience. And the next time I go in, I will go in with the knowledge that they will attempt to up-sell me on things. Yes, I will go in again, thinking about doing in iron/ wedge fitting/ gapping in the winter. I am hoping I don't come out of there like the youtube Mr. Short Game with a full set of LA golf shafts.
