Lefty's Against Scotty Cameron

There needs to be a new group on this site called “Lefty’s Against Scotty Cameron”…they are quite literally the most discriminatory company against lefties. You literally cannot by any Scotty in lefty that isn’t the standard blade other than the 5.5 and 12.5...Squareback 2? Nope…Fastback 1.5 or 2? Nope…it’s insane. So over Scotty…if lefties have suggestions on good plumber neck / L-neck putters with limited toe hang send them my way!!!

Well,im a Rightie and 7 years ago i had a chance to buy a rare Bronze Yes putter as i am a Golf Ho....it was beautiful to use,and it really Phsyched out playing partners😃 Yes the Yes was Leftie....putted well, because im Over 50 and Open to New Challenges as they say in Job Applications.....

 

Just buy a Custom Lajosie,Artisian,etc.Scotty is Great,but there are others....

I don’t even check his new line, anymore. Plenty of other companies that will take my money.

look at PXG.  All models available LH and whatever neck you want available in all models.  Blackjack plumber's neck is pretty good.  I am alternating between a del mar (bought it sight unseen what I saw it - rare to see in lh in a store) and ping arna thought most of the time.

Huh? I have the phantom x 7.5

I feel your pain, but that's why I've moved on from them. I have one Cameron & Crown 6m that was a LH unique 33" offering "special edition?" but that's all. Using a Sik as my current gamer and putt great with it.

Sik isn't any better.  Only 3 models and only 2 of 4 neck options.  I you're reading, sik, why don't you become a real putter company.

A year or so ago they offered 0 lefty models unless you were on tour. So the fact they have 3 models now and they do offer extra necks from time to time if you email and ask is better than nothing.

 

There are some companies that are doing more for lefties like SIK and Swag but no lefties still b*tch despite them not realizing how small of a market we are and how fewer are buying these putters.

I know how small of a segment we are.  I reward those who make the investment and that is ping and pxg.  I would like to try a sik, but don't want a dB or plumber.  I'll try emailing them.

It's simply a financial decision. Do you think Scotty, or ANY company is willing to lose money just so you can game something? Unless they think opening a certain segment to left handers is a strategic benefit in the long term... They aren't going to chose to earn less profit.

 

I'm a lefty and I don't get other lefties who b**** and moan about it. There's enough selection out there or enough guys who make custom putters where you can get what you need in order to make the little white thing go into that hole in the ground.

Probably because they’re a for-profit company and there’s not enough $$ to be made for catering to small lefty market.   It’s not like they or any company have an obligation to serve every segment of the market.

I can actually putt half decent from all the RH putters I've tried. I want to play a round putting RH and see how well I can do.

No problem for this lefty.... the only club more overrated and over priced are PXG.

They have some of the best priced putters on the market now.
