I’ve owned Scottys my entire life. Another fool-proof thing to check is the Titleist manufacturer sticker on the shaft. Very hard thing for counterfeiters to fake. I personally won’t buy one without a sticker
I really want to add a Scotty to my bag someday, I started looking into the "pre-owned" market and there are a lot of putters that just do not look right, so when I am ready to add a new Scotty to my set, I got to buy it directly from an authorized Scotty Cameron and not risk a fake. Great video Matt, counterfeit clubs are a big market right now, thank you for trying and help the average golfer understand and be able to spot a fake club.
Inconsistent feel. Scotty feels precise. Alignment will be off most likely cuz u know the counterfeiter is not measuring and swing weighting and also loft.
Yellow, seems like it would be easier to hide any imperfections in the custom work. Though strong argument could be made in hiding in the majority with the standard look.
In Shenzhen (China), near the train station there’s a 6 floor building with hundreds of shops: a couple of them sells fakes golf clubs you can understand only because the price is too good to be true. And the Scotty Cameron putters are really well made.
About 12 years ago I unknowingly bought a fake Scotty off ebay. Didn't realize until about 5 years after I bought it when I went to register the serial number and it didn't show up. Have to admit they did a good job with the details on my fake. Paint looked good, had the proper sticker and an engraved serial number. Paid $200 for a $20 fake.
I Totally agree Matt , personally I don’t like the SC putters as I think they are heavy “well certainly the blade type I owned hence the reason most people put Superstroke counter weight grips on” but for the vast majority supposing they 4 putted every green with a SC that’s acceptable as long as they have the SC cover sticking out their bag that’s all that matters.
Yeah I haven’t gotten there but the custom one looks fake but damn hard to tell for sure. Could be wrong but guessing by the position and milling of the dots.
I think it was Bruce Lietzke back in the 60's who bought a $5 used putter in the pro shop of the course the PGA tournament was being played at that week. He won. He went on to win a lot with that putter. Corey Pavin used a Bullseye Putter his entire career. I think they were $30 or less brand new. The question is...who gives a flying fu*k about who made what putter? Personally, I'd take a fake anything that worked for me over the most expensive putter ever made that didn't work for me. I own 22 Scotty Camerons. I bought them as an investment 20 years ago hoping morons would pay through the nose someday. I don't use any of them because frankly, they aren't any better than most other putters. Having all those cartoons and stampings on a putter is immature...even childish. If you want to look like a fool on the golf course, wear Loudmouth Pants a la John Daly. The sad truth about most Scotty Cameron putters is they have a tiny sweet spot. If you're a touring pro, you can find that sweet spot often. Many of the pros now use mallet putters with heads that are all SWEET SPOTS. A Newport head is simply a Ping Anser. It's a shape that has been used for 60 years. If you're that shallow and really care about the grip letter spacing, the shaft band, the cartoons on the metal head then by all means save your money and buy that Scotty masterpiece. If it helps you shoot better scores, it's worth whatever you paid for it. Just don't forget, it's really nothing special except in your own mind.
Saw you moved to GA, I actually relocated from TN as a young man but that's another story. I actually purchased a Scotty Cameron after I saw this review. Best putter I've ever had. My old putter was a Odyssey White Hot #6, which I liked, but once I picked up the Scotty, I felt a very noticeable difference. Once I re-griped it with a Winn Pro 1.60, I drained 3ea 30 footers, and had convenience standing over 12 footers all day.
Beware when buying off eBay....There are plenty of fakes out there. When some of these prices are too good to be true, there’s reasons....Good video, I subbed...
There’s something about a putter an extra boost of confidence knowing it’s a good one my odyssey protype II going from my starter topflite putter don’t judge was just starting think I may keep it forever
Guy at work got duped, if the price sounds too good to be true, well you know the rest. Seller even had a back story to justify the low price. his brother played on mini tours and got free putters. I never got to see them in person, but luckily for him the deal was made locally
As always, good content. On the "Scotty" subject and this test, my thoughts would be like this. No way am I ever spending $300 or more on a putter. Ever. Unless you just have cash to burn, it's an elitist thing I guess. Second, if the head is loose and someone repaired it, would it not have felt and performed much better? Third, all those minute details that you have a great eye for finding really don't stand out like a blinking red light to me. At the end of it, if you fixed the head, the craftsmanship was so close that it takes a trained eye to see, and you're paying $150 instead of $400 - $1200, is the performance and feel close enough?
I am new to golf . I deliberately got a fake , not full cheap one but I new it was a fake , mainly to see if I like the style and shape of it. And if it goes ok in performance I’d consider spending ( over mind you ) coin on an original.
Great video... I like the line about "you've got issues there you've got to work out ... the putter's gonna be the least of your problems there..." Haha..
A few more things to look after..Where the shaft is insertet to the long neck. The fake is rounded below while the real is sharp in the angel. 2nd, the line and fit around the insert in the front, the fake is square in the bottom while the real is rounded. the last thing is to look at the weights how the fit. The fake is way off while the real is smooth.
The close up of the lettering you can see the plate on the fake is sharp 90 degree corners and not radius corners or chamfered angles. When machining something like a head like that the engineers will ask for a chamfer. It’s fake or a scrap part sent out by mistake based soly on that
Who cares lol. The best putter has already been made a LONG time ago. You really can’t improve on perfection, but you can use misleading marketing to sell products. The Odyssey 2 ball white hot OG is the best putter hands down. Ever tried one? If not, don’t comment lol. For perspective, professional jewelers can’t tell a $200 good fake Rolex from a $20,000 Rolex without looking at the internal movement gears under a magnifying glass. Logic would then suggest that if you pay $1,200 for that putter you are dim witted to say the least, and people who see you with it are laughing at you.
I bought a Scotty Cameron Nappa from eBay quite a few years ago. Turned out it was fake. Had it verified by Titelist and got my money back. I actually quite liked it. But it was clear it was fake in terms of quality of fabrication, materials and detail.
clearly its the custom yellow club because ... a) no one knows exactly what a custom club is supposed to look like so you can't compare it to someone elses at your local clubhouse. b) trying to fake a club that you can buy at any local golf shop is much more likely to be called out and its far less valuable, so c) if i am taking the time and effort to fake a putter i am obviously going to get as much value as possible from my sork so clearly it is the yellow club.
I saw a documentary on fake golf clubs from China. The factory workers would steal the original mold where they make the real ones and bring it to another factory to make replicas using the same materials.
well...if the head wasn't really affixed to the shaft properly (or maybe the shaft tip wasn't properly prepped, of course it would effect dispersion & feel. There are other similar videos that have said (and I dunno how you would know what you are ordering anyway) that the "import" Scotty outperformed the original, especially factoring the price. whatever works for you, I guess. . .
The counterfeit market must be huge for all golf equipment. There seem to be illegal copies of everything from clubs to grips to everything else floating around. The general rule "if seems too good to be true, it probably is" applies here.
Been using the same 50 dollar putter for 15 years. NEVER changed i. That is why I put really good. Seen plenty of people with a Scotty Cameron who cannot put at all. - That goes for most of them, I would say... Regarding "problems"; if you pay 400 USD for a putter, you have a problem. No matter if it is fake or not. :)
I have got a Newport putter my self and with the yellow one look at the face it’s not cut right and on the red the gap is equal all around and I guessed from the sound my self on the first hit
Matt; my guess is the yellow custom. But, like you say if a person doesn’t know that he has a fake what difference would it make? On the other hand I’m always on the look out for a putter that I have confidence in. Be safe, and send the ball to Jesus.
If I had to guess, these “fakes” are probably made in the same factory and the “fakes” are X-outs if you will. Probably first runs and the settings on the text may be off a bit. I’ve read this happens a lot with all major brands. They are then sold on sites like AliExpress.
One of the biggest tell tale that he didn’t cover is the neck, you can see how it’s rounded edges, that’s a dead give away, the real SC has a very sharp neck bend because it’s stainless not metal
As much as I dislike the idea of paying a ridiculously outrageous amount of money for a putter, I would never buy the fake one because it's just not the right thing to do. It's a moot point for me anyway, however, as I'd never pay anywhere near the price of a Scotty Cameron for a putter.
Assuming they original shafts are on the putter and the band is intact, would having the serial number lasered on the shaft and the band also be a clue to a true Scotty??
Anyone who buys a putter that expensive that is a copy itself has a problem. The problem is anyone who buys that putter only wants to look cool. You can buy an Anser for $30 and it performs the exact same
As I suspected! The pros would have done personalization on their Cameron! I'm sure they can do that but I have never seen it! Can't make it anymore perfect!
Great video I been looking for a Scotty and now I know what I am looking for between them. So thank you very much. God bless and keep on with your videos they are helping me out
Details that could only be noticed if you have the same genuine putter to compare side by side. If you were to just look at the fake alone by itself, you would never be able to to tell it's fake.
Mint vid, had my scotty about 5 months, changed from a ping wouldn't have any other brand now not only do they look and feel awesome the performance is just tremendous, been out today 29 putts, that'll do me ⛳
How about making a real vs fake Superstroke grip? I've seen a ton of fake Superstroke grips for 1/3rd the cost of a real. How big a difference can a grip perform?
You won’t go wrong with the fakes, unless you like your grips firm. The fakes are a bit on the squishy side. Still firm enough to maintain their form when making a short to medium length putt, but you’ll definitely feel the difference on long putts, specially if you putt with your index fingers out like I do. But if you hold the putter like you grip your other clubs, it shouldn’t be an issue.
Real scottys have a serial number etched on the reverse of the shaft around an inch from the bottom of the grip Normally scottys are heavier as they use a quality stainless steel (303) GSS on the tour ones
Why should it bother you so much what other people put in their bag? Unless it’s non-conforming to the Rules, should it really matter how other people choose to spend their money?
i love your vids but as far as putters go its all about the player, if you can read the greens then surely any putter will do, wont it? and what makes a scotty so expensive?
1200 for a putter? Life is good if you drop that on a putter. I can't see why that would be needed. I would say there is very little that is needed in a putter. As long as you get the feel and length you want, stick with the same putter and hone your skills.
Scotties are ok but if you want a truly custom high end putter with real science behind it check out Kramski putters. And no I don’t get kickbacks but it is German engineering at its best. Having said that if you are making putts with a 2 by 4 then keep using it.
It’s actually smaller too. The 3 dots are closer to the sc logo than the heel on the fakes! There are some measurements u can look up on the Titliest website to get more tell tell signs but they are flooding the market w the “fancy fakes”
Aesthetically they did a great job of making a copy but as soon as I saw the close up slow mo it was obvious for me the yellow took a big skid before starting to roll out the red one the ball started almost immediately end over end. I’ve tried a ton of different putters and IMO nothing feels as buttery as a single piece milled Scotty glad they away from the inserts on the Newport’s again and back to their roots
I have 3 Scotty's, I can't tell at all. One was bought off of Ebay so who knows. One is from titleist. My most recent one was won at a golf outing at a high end club so I assume it is real
As soon as I saw how far that ball slid on the yellow one, I knew it was fake. I have a Scotty, even if you try, you can't make them not roll the ball.
I miss my Scotty Cameron putter. It was given to me as a gift from a friend for helping him with some landscaping work. Sadly it was stolen along with a nice set of custom irons. It was the nicest putter I’ve ever used.
I’ve owned Scottys my entire life. Another fool-proof thing to check is the Titleist manufacturer sticker on the shaft. Very hard thing for counterfeiters to fake. I personally won’t buy one without a sticker
I really want to add a Scotty to my bag someday, I started looking into the "pre-owned" market and there are a lot of putters that just do not look right, so when I am ready to add a new Scotty to my set, I got to buy it directly from an authorized Scotty Cameron and not risk a fake.
Great video Matt, counterfeit clubs are a big market right now, thank you for trying and help the average golfer understand and be able to spot a fake club.
fake yellow
Honestly, it's a solid piece of metal. So long as it's quality metal, how far off in performance can it possibly be?
Inconsistent feel. Scotty feels precise. Alignment will be off most likely cuz u know the counterfeiter is not measuring and swing weighting and also loft.
Stainless steel vs chunk of metal, it’s horribly inconsistent and the ball bounces off the face. It’s a terrible feel, there’s a reason SC are $500+
Very different. Metal is all different.
We finally have a video which addresses more important question: "Does it really matter if putter is fake?"
Not really.
It does if you paid 300 for it and got ripped off like i did
Nope, still same lol
it's completely different are you braindead maybe?

"If you you want a fake Scotty Cameron just to look cool, then you've got bigger problems than just your golf game"
😂😂😂 nailed it with that line!
Judgy much?
Seriously!
I'm totally fine with someone wanting a fake Scotty to look cool. 🤷♂
nailed too, couldn't agree more
How much does that differ from the 1000s of people who want a real scotty cameron in their bag just to look cool?
Just got the Kirkland putter and love it. Large grip and great feel. Got the kit to change weights.
first things first,Scotty doesnt wrap the heads in plastic,period,i wouldve stopped there.
Yup and dont use them stamps 🤣. That's a horrible fake
The Japanese market wraps the head
@@FRANKWOOLF2 they do indeed,but rarely make it to north america,certainly a sign that u should take a good look
Really... a friend bought a SC putter at a fancy country club in Chicago... it had plastic covering on the putter face.
@@illinidmd Almost all of his putters have a protective film on the face and sole keeping them from scratching
This is the most confusing video I’ve ever seen😂
Do you have a negative IQ? If this is the most confusing video you’ve ever seen then I can’t imagine you being able to understand any video
Agreed. Quality control analysis is not the strongest part of his game.
Yellow, seems like it would be easier to hide any imperfections in the custom work. Though strong argument could be made in hiding in the majority with the standard look.
Just goes to show how overpriced SC custom shop work is. That fake putter looks great for what it is TBH.

Well, Off to inspect my Scotty. Thanks for the tip
So happy with my fake one. 😁 Changed the grip to a Ping anyway, lighter than the real ones fits me like a dream. Handicap 2 player.
Where'd you get it from? Lol. Asking for a friend.
Great video..the biggest thing the weights on the bottom do not come off..great video!! Thanks
well the fake ones looks really great. thats a masterpiece fake
Bought a fake Scotty on link China years ago
Yeah I haven’t gotten there but the custom one looks fake but damn hard to tell for sure. Could be wrong but guessing by the position and milling of the dots.
Well now that he showed the roll I’m more certain. Thing jumps and skids (custom one).

Sorry neither one of those is a "long neck" both are Plumbing
So what do you suggest? I want a Scotty but don’t want to get hosed, neither in price nor in fugazis.
Ouch...Got hit by an ebay fake about four years ago...never again. Great job letting people know!
Smashed it with a hammer, broke it and put it in the bin.
I love this channel. He’s awesome and entertaining.

Im curious about the weights on the bottom.. are they accurate? Are they Interchangeable with one another?
No they are not. They are glued on
1st time to see this video. I would say the yellow one by looking at the 3 dots on the bottom, They just look off!
Who cares lol. The best putter has already been made a LONG time ago. You really can’t improve on perfection, but you can use misleading marketing to sell products. The Odyssey 2 ball white hot OG is the best putter hands down. Ever tried one? If not, don’t comment lol.

I like the fake yellow one, plus it looks like it's got a flatter lie which I prefer.
I saw a documentary on fake golf clubs from China. The factory workers would steal the original mold where they make the real ones and bring it to another factory to make replicas using the same materials.
The yellow dots on the bottom are over to far to the left side . It starts at the M where the real one starts at the E.
well...if the head wasn't really affixed to the shaft properly (or maybe the shaft tip wasn't properly prepped, of course it would effect dispersion & feel. There are other similar videos that have said (and I dunno how you would know what you are ordering anyway) that the "import" Scotty outperformed the original, especially factoring the price. whatever works for you, I guess. . .
Where would you go to get a customize putter that is authentic?
The counterfeit market must be huge for all golf equipment. There seem to be illegal copies of everything from clubs to grips to everything else floating around. The general rule "if seems too good to be true, it probably is" applies here.
Yeah, the sound on the yellow is a bit too crispy. Milled putter face should have a more softer muted sound.
Been using the same 50 dollar putter for 15 years. NEVER changed i. That is why I put really good.

So true. I chuckle when playing with guys using $500 Cameron, and I outputt them with an old ping anser
Identified a fake on eBay thank you! Saved me over $300
Could you please,bring some tips for seniors?
"Most of us don't set up where we're looking anyway."
Nailed it.
I have got a Newport putter my self and with the yellow one look at the face it’s not cut right and on the red the gap is equal all around and I guessed from the sound my self on the first hit

I was wrong on my pick till I saw the slow motion ball roll. Lot of backspin on fake.
A number of fake clubs are actually cast from different revisions of the casting tools of originals

The real ones are made in the us
One of the biggest tell tale that he didn’t cover is the neck, you can see how it’s rounded edges, that’s a dead give away, the real SC has a very sharp neck bend because it’s stainless not metal
I love my Studio Design #5.
Thanks for the video.
thanks Matt
The magnet test is a maker or breaker.

Great video and very informative. Thank you
Did the fake have a serial number on the shaft?
Good to know. I purchase everything second hand.
Another giveaway is where the hosel meets the shaft it looks milled on the real scotty, while looks casted, or rounded at least on the fake.
Assuming they original shafts are on the putter and the band is intact, would having the serial number lasered on the shaft and the band also be a clue to a true Scotty??
Anyone who buys a putter that expensive that is a copy itself has a problem. The problem is anyone who buys that putter only wants to look cool. You can buy an Anser for $30 and it performs the exact same

Hmmm, well do write back and let us all know how you go over 18 holes.
@@JettyBuilder finished on 85 2 over handicap, the course is a par 70
They only stamp at the custom shop, no engraving. The biggest tell tale is usually the weight. Id love to know what these pieces weight.
How about making a real vs fake Superstroke grip? I've seen a ton of fake Superstroke grips for 1/3rd the cost of a real. How big a difference can a grip perform?
You won’t go wrong with the fakes, unless you like your grips firm. The fakes are a bit on the squishy side. Still firm enough to maintain their form when making a short to medium length putt, but you’ll definitely feel the difference on long putts, specially if you putt with your index fingers out like I do. But if you hold the putter like you grip your other clubs, it shouldn’t be an issue.
@@MrPhilbautista Disagree fakes are so close its ridiculous, 25% of the cost whats not to like ?
the custom shop doesn't do any of those prints either lol
Yellow one just by the way the ball jumped off the club face would be my guess. Wasn't smooth.
If you look at how the putters roll the ball its easy to tell. The real rolls the ball much better than the fake. The fake skids for a while
Real scottys have a serial number etched on the reverse of the shaft around an inch from the bottom of the grip
Normally scottys are heavier as they use a quality stainless steel (303) GSS on the tour ones
Exactly sir David
The price you pay says it all in regards to golf equipment. Those that buy fake products should not even bother with a scorecard in my book.
Why should it bother you so much what other people put in their bag? Unless it’s non-conforming to the Rules, should it really matter how other people choose to spend their money?
also look at the Titliest Script on the hosel, real much smaller and thinly defined.
i love your vids but as far as putters go its all about the player, if you can read the greens then surely any putter will do, wont it? and what makes a scotty so expensive?
Knew it was the fake immediately after I saw the shrink wrap......
Awesome video!
1200 for a putter? Life is good if you drop that on a putter. I can't see why that would be needed. I would say there is very little that is needed in a putter. As long as you get the feel and length you want, stick with the same putter and hone your skills.
Never mind the actaual putter, Ive seen scotty head covers going over a grand.
Did you send it to the official one?
Fun video!
the first giveaway for me was the insert didnt look like an insert at all and that there was just a notch taken out to make it look like a insert
Yellow is the fake, it's a velcro cap, thats why I've guessed.. I'm at 6:05... I tell you if I'm wrong after the video.
hahaha got it !
Scotties are ok but if you want a truly custom high end putter with real science behind it check out Kramski putters.
And no I don’t get kickbacks but it is German engineering at its best. Having said that if you are making putts with a 2 by 4 then keep using it.
When I'm enjoying my beer in the clubhouse after my round I don't want to be keeping one eye on my bag in case someone wants it more than I do
It also looks like the Titilest on the neck is higher on the real one.
It’s actually smaller too. The 3 dots are closer to the sc logo than the heel on the fakes! There are some measurements u can look up on the Titliest website to get more tell tell signs but they are flooding the market w the “fancy fakes”
It has to be the red since the red is most recognizable Scotty Cameron color scheme. They wouldn’t make a fake yellow imo.
custom shop doesn't offer all that crap on the sole and what's up with the turtle??
Aesthetically they did a great job of making a copy but as soon as I saw the close up slow mo it was obvious for me the yellow took a big skid before starting to roll out the red one the ball started almost immediately end over end. I’ve tried a ton of different putters and IMO nothing feels as buttery as a single piece milled Scotty glad they away from the inserts on the Newport’s again and back to their roots
I picked up a used Square Back Studio Select that’s very smooth! I love it so far.
Send it to a shop for a re shaft then another test maybe?
I have 3 Scotty's, I can't tell at all. One was bought off of Ebay so who knows. One is from titleist. My most recent one was won at a golf outing at a high end club so I assume it is real
My college roomate has THE best putter. He makes every 5 footer, either takes it or it would have been good if I really putted
Yellows ones gotta be real!
As soon as I saw how far that ball slid on the yellow one, I knew it was fake. I have a Scotty, even if you try, you can't make them not roll the ball.
I miss my Scotty Cameron putter. It was given to me as a gift from a friend for helping him with some landscaping work. Sadly it was stolen along with a nice set of custom irons. It was the nicest putter I’ve ever used.
Man that really sucks. my friend just had his seven iron stolen, I couldn’t imagine having your putter and a full set of clubs stolen.
