How to spot FAKE SCOTTY CAMERONS?

Question

Is it true that genuine scotty camerons never come with shrink wrap even if theyre brand new?

How do you avoid buying fakes when buying online?

Answer 1

Buy at a reputable pro shop and you won't have to worry about internet scams.  But you are right - no plastic wrap on a real Cameron.

Answer 2

First off, Scotty Cameron is the best putter on the market and the Ping Anser is garbage. Now, here are some things that can help you spot a fake:

One thing for sure with the covers is the Titleist logo, the "T" is much more curved on a fake, and the aligment is usually further left.

-Also look at the letters "A" and "M" the A on a fake comes to a point at the top, and is more curved on an original.

- The "M" is much more straight up and down than on an authentic headcover.

- As far as the club itself, most phonies will not have the proper shaft, if the shaft is "TrueTemper", be warned, it's not a stock shaft, or at least it's not common to see the actual "True Temper" written on the shaft itself.

-Additionally the Scotty Cameron sticker with club details will always be under the grip (not visible when at address), unless it's a full wrap-around, of course.

-The most important thing is to ask for additional photos from the seller of a Studio (SC) putter, or any suspicious Scotty, because there are many fakes on the market now, ask for detailed photos of the sole, cover, and milled face.

-Also, the back will not show any signs of (buffing) on the backside of a fake, it will look almost "powdery"; this is a good sign the club was never really finished in the "Studio".

- And Studio Style heads DO NOT COME WRAPPED IN PLASTIC!!!

Answer 3

Real ones don't come with shrink wrap, but the best way to tell is to hit one.  Everyone who has one will agree that they are unrivaled.  I have a friend with a custon made Circle T from the shop in California that he got custom made in college and every time I hit it I have to change my pants.  Thats why I usually only putt with it on the 18th.

Answer 5

Buy a Ping Anser! The Scotty Cameron is a Ping Anser knock-off anyway. Just go with the original, not some wanna-be copy.
