Pro Platinum and Studio Stainless - Real?

[Mitch 2022]

Posted this in the Putters section, but I’m new so it may have been the wrong place.

 

Looking at both of these putters and would love to know if neither, both or one are fake. Also, I hear both are great, is it just a preference?

 

FWIW, no idea what’s up with the black paintfill “Titleist” on the SS.

Fakes were not made of either of these 2 putters. Both are legit, somebody probably repainted the Titleist in the face of the Studio Stainless.

Thanks VNutz. curious to what the more popular choice would be, given they are the same price.

I have a 1999 PP Newport Mid 1st Run which has the same paint fill

My bad, just re-read your post and you were asking about the SS.  I think VNutz is right

Studio Stainless is by far more popular. The MidSlant is a cool stick but not as highly sought after. There are also less MidSlant 2s so that can affect value as well.

Thanks. Given the condition, I may get the SS. I would imagine it’s not too difficult to remove the current paint or cover with some white to be similar to original

Both are legit and really were never faked. Also, up until a couple years ago, either could have been had for $100-150 depending on condition.

Ones from Proclubs, they’re as legit as they come. A simple google or feedback search would be answered that one.

I highly doubt Proclubs would let a fake slip by them.

I got a club with a fake Graphite Design shaft from proclubs once. They made it right and paid for return shipping and a full refund even after I had disassembled the club - but no one is perfect, I guess, when it comes to letting fakes slip by. It happens from time to time, and I would still buy from them again without issue.
