I'm interested in hearing if you first liked the putter and putt pretty well with it, but once finding out it was fake, you suddenly felt everything wrong and lost confidence when using it. What was the psychological effect on the golfer once finding out the putter was a fake?

Many years ago I also bought a fake Scotty off EBAY. It was several months before I realized it was fake. I didn't use it much when I bought it because I didn't putt that well with it. I realized it was fake when I saw the same model putter in a golf store and the finish on the authentic putter was so much nicer and the balance was noticeably better.

Fake club challenge…get a full set/collection of fake clubs to fill a bag. Ensure they are close to your fitted length and lie and play them. Fill another bag with the real things and compare not only scores but feel and playability. I have played “clones” that I couldn’t find any difference in performance…but then, I am NOT a good golfer.

To be fair, even a genuine Scotty (at least this model, plus many more) is just a Ping Anser knockoff. There's really no reason for it not to roll well, it's got to be the most copied putter in existence. If you like it and have played it well, i'd certainly keep it in the bag.

Chris, the GOAT of natural ball striking is online - thanks therefore James! Every one lefthanded short from Chris is better to watch than video Nr 307 about a driver you test. That is a fake account scotty and - be fair - you're knee it before because of the pictures. But he looks quality made and you should give him a chance! If anybody thinks thats all this putters, wedges or clubs you gets offered from the brands are made in their own factories is a naiv idiot. The make up a concept on a computer, building/ construction plans but then companies in Asia forge his clubs /heads without branding them. This club then are signed by the company and assembled there. Scotty cameron putters were made for long time by a company with a own product now, by "grindworks". This is meantime the number one blade putter on tour.... Maybe your putter is made by them? Who knows... But if he feels good, if the weight ist good, the grip and the shaft, then give him a chance and put him in your bag! Cheers so far....
