Aftermarket Scotty Cameron Style Weights

[MCCA]

Sorry for the poor picture quality blackberry, i got the regular blue instead of the b[color="#282828"]lue grinder style.They are really nice quality. I went 20 gm will order another set for my Select Newport 1.5[/color]

[Maniak87]

i just put the 15g gram aftermarket weights on my notchback. they look almost identical to the originals to me other than the cool "grinder" logo on the new ones. i used a hair dryer to heat the putter up to because the weights had never been removed before and i didnt feel like breaking the tool.

i also weighed both the new and old weights. the stock 10g cameron weights showed 9.4-9.6g on the scale. The aftermarket 15g weights were 14.7-14.8 or something like that. I remember that the aftermarket ones weighed closer to what was being advertised.

I was surprised to see that neither were the exact advertised weight. who knows how accurate the scale was though. in the end, it makes no difference to me because i would never be able to feel the difference with it being off so little. so far i like the added weight. i wish i could actually try it out on the course though, currently all of the courses are flooded lagoons after record rain falls.

Did you order them from the Hong Kong seller on eBay? They have cheaper prices, but not sure I want to wait 15-20 to get them.

First off, I know that the Scotty purists will disagree with using an aftermarket weight, but I wanted to snaz up my putter and being unable to purchase stamped weights directly from Scotty (without sending to the custom shop) I decided to search on eBay. In my search I came across a set of "grinder" style Scotty Cameron aftermarket weights and I decided to document the installation and my thoughts on the product.

 

1) Here is the link to what I purchased and a few notes on the product:

http://www.ebay.com/...=item2c6cb3beeb

 

$35 includes two 10g weights, a wrench and shipping. These weights are also available in a variety of colors and other stamps such as: Crowns; Stars, Superman Logo and plain numbers from the seller.

 

The weights were shipped from a local address and took approximately 3 business days to arrive, but most likely originate from another country as the note inside read:

"Note: The original weights on the club, have glue on the thread and inside, so if the original weights never be opened before, it is dogged, the wrench may be broken, you should heat the weight at first, then it will be easy to twisted.

 

 

2) Thoughts on the quality of the weights:

• The weights appear to be good quality; although the wrench (while heavy and gets the job done) seems like it wouldn't last for multiple installs, specifically due to the prongs. I would have to imagine that the Scotty Cameron tool is superior especially for someone who plans to frequently change their weights.
  
• To my eye the red color matches exactly to the Scotty Cameron translucent red
  

• The weights are the 10g each that they claimed. This was verified on an electronic scale.
  
• Unlike the Scotty Cameron factory weights, these have a slight bevel on the outside facing edge. When the weights are installed, this gives the appearance that they are recessed, even though they are relatively flush to the bottom of the putter. This will most likely not impact performance.
  
• Unlike the factory Scotty Cameron weights which have clear milling marks on the inside, these weights are absent of them, leading me to believe they may be manufactured in a different way. Again – I cannot imagine this will impact quality or performance (Scotty Cameron on Left, Aftermarket on Right).
  

3) Installation:

 

 

 

1. First remove the weights. As the poorly written note above suggests, the original weights are glued (probably Loctite). Removing the weights did not require heat; however, a little pressure was required.

2. Once removed; the empty weight holes will be quite dirty. I used a little soap and hot water, combined with a wooden toothpick to clean the threads and holes. I made sure to thoroughly dry with a paper towel and even used a blow dryer with some heat to ensure all moisture was gone.

• (Before Cleaning)
  

• (After Cleaning)
  

 

3. In order to replicate the factory installation, I used Loctite blue 242 (removable) on the new threads and screwed them into the putter.

 

Overall a very easy swap and I have to say I am quite happy with the result. The putter performs exactly as before; has the same feel and overall there is no perceivable difference with the putter after the installation.

 

 

I have a SC Newport 2 that is 33" and it comes with two 20g weights.

If I cut if down an inch, would replacing the orginals with two 25g weights keep the putter at the same swingweight?

Does anyone notice a slightly different feel and sound with these weights? Not sure how the weights would do this, but it just seems to have a little difference to me.

Could be the extra weight. I had a friend send his putter back to Titleist and they installed heavier weights. His putter definitely sounded and felt different with the heavier weights.

Thanks, I did go with the heavier weights and at least I'm not imagining things. Wonder if anyone feels/hears the same thing going to lighter ones.

Does anyone know if this seller also has these style weights to fit Fastback/Squareback models?
[/quote]
I have seen the Fastback/Squareback style weights on eBay; but I don't think they come in the same styles or the same quality as the weights listed above other than someone reselling authentic Scotty weights.
[/quote]I just picked up a used Fastback 1.0. Would love to add a pair of these to it. I see some on Ebay for $70 a pair. Too move for me for knockoffs. Any one found any cheaper.

I kept the weight the same and I didn't notice any difference.

Seems like too much $$ for these; I paid $35 with free shipping and it included the tool. Are you sure you weren't looking at an OEM set of weights that someone pulled?

[finchi5]

Ive added the 20g weights to mine, just to try thm. Quality is great, however the putter now feels unbalanced with the 20g installed. To be honest the studio select line feels s**t compared to the earlier camerons anyway. Maybe its the shaft I dunno but feel isn't fantastic, actually its even worse with the heavier weights installed. 330g all the way for me!

[/quote]I'm looking for the Fastback (& Squareback) weights, not those for the Newport, etc. Seems the fastback design are more expensive (rarer). If you found fastback for $35, then please let me know.

sorry, completely missed the "Fastback" reference. I believe you are correct, these are most likely more rare and therefore more expensive.

I have a 34" Newport 2 and put in two 20g weights and it's perfect!

The weights are great, easy to install. I used a bit of heat from a heat gun to remove the old weights, cleaned the putter cavity with warm soapy water and a quick blow dry, and then reverse threaded the new weights so that they screw in flush. I'm still going to add a bit of (blue) Loctite to them so they're installed correctly. I'm very happy with the look and the result.

I purchased mine from ebay seller '[url="http://stores.ebay.com/TopBrandCollection?_trksid=p2047675.l2563"]TopBrandCollection[/url]' - [url="http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x20g-Weights-Replacement-Titleist-Scotty-Cameron-Putters-with-Wrench-Red-NEW-/190861398107?ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123"]http://www.ebay.com/...E:X:AAQ:US:1123[/url]

The aftermarket weights seem fine from a quality standpoint, and a number of nice engravings are available. I've used some in a few projects. Keep in mind they are usually not stainless steel, so they may not accept an aftermarket finish that works for the putter head. One of the above posters makes an excellent point that the Scotty 10 gram weights can be modified upon removal by adding tungsten powder in their hollow cavity - obviously the number on the weight will become irrelevant, however.

[xm23]

Thinking about doing this as well. Prefer to buy from C911 on eBay which is based in the USA. Just extended a 33" Studio Select Newport to 35". It currently has the 20g weights but I just added a Super Stroke fatso 5.0 on top of the 2" extension. Going to play around with it but I'm thinking the 25g weights would be better to offset the heavier grip

[dconcepd]

Does anyone know where I can find 20g blue grinder weights?????

Wish I could find the bomb style (big circle w/ paintfill) weights for my fastback

[BHerschberger]

i'm also thinking about getting new weights. my current studio select has 10g weights and I had it cut down from 35" to 34". I was wondering if I should go with the 15g or 20g weights to try to get the weight back to what is was.

[jjrussell12]

Just got some weights for my GoLo, but cannot get the original weights off my putter. Any suggestions? How much heat have people been putting on there?

[/quote]

Try holding it under a hair dryer for a minute or two. It takes a firm jolt to break the Loctite bond but that much heat makes it much easier.

[jtitleist12]

Has anyone that has purchased a set of these aftermarket weights actually weighed them to see what they come out at? For example, are the 10g new style big bomb weights actually 10g or do they come in at 9.3g, etc?

[dbdors]

I bought 20g weights and they both weight in at 19g. My guess is that is due to my scale inaccuracies.

[bdspiker]

I just got my pair of 30g weights in today... After a lot of heat and torque, they finally came out. I didnt install them all the way (loctite & torque) because I wanted to get a few putts in to make sure that the weight felt good. I can already tell a difference & love the weight, but when I stroked a couple putts on my carpet, my petter felt slightly off. There seemed to be a hollow/rattle feeling when it strikes the ball. Is this the purpose of the Loctite, and when I finish the install tomorrow will this go away?

Could be due to no loctite usage.. mind you I used my authentic 20g custom shop weights with no loctite and never had a single issue. Putter always felt 100%.

FInished the install today & Loctite did the trick... Putter feels amazing & after getting back from my club, I have A LOT of my confidence back. The cup seemed 2 ft wide. The mind is a powerful thing lol...

[Graymulligan]

I picked up a set of aftermarket weights from eBay for my squareback, and they're very nice. Weighed in at just the tick under 20, (19.3ish) and they look good. Putter feels great with them installed, no issues. 35 bucks for 20gm, he sells 30s for 60 bucks.
