Tour Paul Casey's custom Cameron putter - 2022 The Players

[GolfWRX_Spotted]

Paul wanted a sight dot so they made him a new putter.  The first photo is of his gamer without the dot from API last week.

One weight in the heel but not the toe?  Interesting, wonder if the sweet spot still correlates to the site dot location.

Oh to be a tour pro for just one day... 

 

Its would be like having a golf genie.. 

 

"I want this putter but make it like this"..

 

Poof. There it is..

I've always wondered where the "it's free" cut off is for Cameron's.

Given that the 009 is already heel biased I would say the answer is no. The site dot looks centered in the cavity.

 

I'm not sure why he'd want that much weight in the heel but perhaps his natural stroke makes impact with the ball inside of the site dot so the offset COG works for him. That's true with my putting FWIW.

I don't think it exists.

There's also the possibility that the weight is actually lighter, maybe aluminum or something, to move COG more towards the center. But they would likely just put in a heavier toe weight if they wanted the COG more towards the toe so this is just speculation seeing as how I'm a moron😂.

If your name is a mainstay on the tour there is none.

I wonder if it doesn’t make the putter balance closer to horizontal ? It’s bound  to no?

That's true. I'm assuming it's tungsten as most are, but if it's aluminum it would be lighter in the heel and actually move the COG toward the site dot.

No cut off... that's why you pay $400 for something that costs $50 to make.

[nova6868]

I love it, assume lighter weight in the heel to get COG right. I wonder why we don't see this more often.

That was his old putter. Then they built a new one with the dot. They were just showing the difference.

You haven’t bought metal since 2019 then. Billet  blocks big enough for two heads , the operator and the electric bill alone puts the cost Easily above $250 each. And you haven’t made the payment on the machine yet.  
 

i agree with you that tour putters prices are nuts.  But blame that on collectors.    But the retail putters are a great value for what you get.  Removable weights , stainless , you can’t buy a boutique putter for $400.  And you alwasy have the option of Plastic and powdered metal for $225 from other brands.  

[newportbeach]

Great putters thanks for the pics Greg.  I've always wondered what putting a heavier weight in the toe or heel would do. 

[pga43]

Let's keep the comments more on the topic and less about what it may or may not cost to make.  That's another topic for a different forum.

 

Thanks

PC is the man.  You guys ever see that video when he was yelling at that roudy fan?

 

"SHUT IT"!!!!  Awesome pics Greg.

listened to TG2… feel like they read my post.. haha thanks guys!! Love the show!

Typically the 009 stainless is 350g, and it happens to be stamped that way as well. Only time you want to do something to the heel is to remove weight. The face balance won't change because that is not determined by heel or toe weighting, as that is determine by shaft intersection point in relation to CG.

 

I believe its possibly 2 things.

 

1. Paul wanted a lighter putter, something in the 340 range, and by removing heel weight it would move the CG to the center of the face. Instead of leaving a gaping hole on the sole, Scotty capped it. I know Scotty is very cognizant of CG and he would never purposely heel weight a putter when adding weight.

 

The only other potential reason is to make the putter even more CG heel biased, as Paul might just strike the putter inside the sight dot, and the CG moving just ever so slightly inside of center of design helps keep the face stable for Paul.

I wonder if Casey has second thoughts on circular indentations in stuff...

From the wear marks I have seen on a number of tour player putters. It seems that the preferred impact spot is just inside of what I think most would consider the center of the face.

Suck a clean looking putter! 

[QuigleyDU]

Interesting article on the homepage about this putter. It is funny the amount of chatter it has created. I think it is awesome. 

[nova6868]

Third Act (Surprise Ending):

 

Cameron hears about the aluminum weight idea and decides to try it with an 009 to center the COG.

It would appear that this is what it accomplished. Speeds up the toe Paul says.

thanks, hadn't seen it until you posted here about that Paul Casey interview: 

 

Paying it forward, i.e. Linked here, to save others a search.
