    Ive had the same scotty newport 2 for over a decade. Ive changed grips on it a handful of times and always paid the extra money to get the scotty cameron grip on there. I am due for a grip change and I am just having a hard time paying 50+ dollars to have a grip on there that I am gonna change again in a year or so. Deep down it bothers me a little bit to not have the cameron grip, Am I crazy person to think it HAS to be a cameron grip?

    It's all personal preference. I used to love the old baby t grips but like you was having to change them every year. Now I love the superstroke pistol and won't play a putter without one. I love the fact I can add a counterweight in the grip and adjust as needed depending on the putter head.

    I am thinking on doing this also. I have the Scotty Cord grip and am wanting to change to the SS Pistol 1.0. I tend to push my putts and think the Pistol grip will held with keeping my hand square.

    All personal. For instance I am not a fan of the Scotty grips. Recently bought a new Phantom 5 and tried to play a round with the standard grip and was not a fan. Flash forward and I got my typical SuperStroke 1.0 Flatso and absolutely love it.

    Tiger has had a png grip on his putter for decades. It is his go-to tool.

    You only need a Cameron grip for resale. Even then, if it has enough battle scars from years of use, it likely won’t have collectors value. Use whatever grip works best for you to get the best results.

    I usually remove and replace with a superstroke 2.0 grip personally. Honestly, it's what steadies the knees when looking over that 6' putt.

    When I get a new Scottie putter, off with the stock grip and one with a new GolfPride SNSR pistol or a SuperStroke 1.0 pistol.

    First thing I did on my Newport + was rip the grip of and replace it with a png grip. For some reason I never liked the grips on the Scottie’s. Its your equipment don’t feel like you have to stick to a certain grip just because of the name on it.

    I put a SS Flatso 1.0 on my Newport 2+ and have been putting better than the OG Scottie grip. I did feel a little bad cutting off the scotty grip but the results are better so I can live with it.

    I'st all what provides you confort and confidence. I'm a SS Flatso 1.0 guy like Spieth.

    I'm the odd one out. I tried the matador and a few other brands, but ended up putting the pistolero back on. I know grips can be pricey, but if you know it gives you the confidence standing over the ball more than a cheaper costing grip, you have your answer.

    I think it's all personal preference. I order mine with the Pistolero Black grip.
  15. The Scotty grip can be "pulled" quite easily and kept if you want to use it at a future date. Watch the weight of the replacement grip is similar to the Scotty you are removing if you want a similar feel. The Superstroke Pistol 1.0 is a good match in my experience. A Superstroke Pistol 2.0 is lighter giving a heavier feel to the head if that is something you prefer. Both can have weight added. There are many other options as mentioned above.

    Yes, and I love it. I'm a "left hand low" putter, and the medium pistol feels great. Used superstroke pistol for years, and don't see myself going back.

    Thanks I am going to try it on my Scotty it been in time out for a while been using the AI two ball putter
  21. Great point....I feel all grips are going way up in price these days. If something bothers you have ask yourself if your ego or wallet is going to hurt more? I prefer to use the best grip in my mind no matter what the cost on my clubs and putter...no shortcuts basically.

    I just added this week to my Scotty, the Custom Shop release Paddle grip (L). Very similar to the Flatso grip. I'll report back what I think after a few rounds. Curious what others have thought if you've used it?

    I popped on a Lamkin deep etch. Its been great and as you all pretty much implied, all preference.

    It all comes down to what is most comfortable. I personally have medium matador grips on most of my Scottys

    Like Chuck said above, the first thing when I get a new Scotty is take off the old grip and put a new one on. In my case, I'm a Winn Dri-Tac fan. I put their midsize putter grip on.

    One thing I'll add, I do my own grip changes. And what I hate more than anything is taking the factory grip with a Scotty. Trying to cut that thing off is like trying to cut through a car tire with a butter knife. I can generally regrip a club in about 5 minutes, doing a first time Scotty is usually 2-3 times longer.
