Great Articles to Avoiding Fake Scotty Cameron Putters
The Studio Style is the most prevelent knock-off here on e-bay, so here’s some pointers to help you spot the “fakes”.
-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!!!

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” (Herman Cain) There is perhaps no other quote in the world that can define me better than Herman Cain’s. Growing up in the era of “Wal-Mart”, understanding the global importance of China in the twenty-first century will be the key to future success for young entrepreneurs and students alike. A success that I feel at a young age I have already captured and continue to follow through with for the past three years. Ace Clothing Industries was my first of many business formed since I was fifteen; it was formed the same day I was told by my parents that I needed to purchase my own car and pay my way through high school and college. Years later now, that small online business I formed on that day has grown from a customer database of zero to three hundred returning customers and sales of $250,000 in 2006 and $100,000 in two quarters in 2007. It is a business that has rewarded me with far more than monetary successes. It has rewarded me with prestigious awards such as the Wisconsin Youth Entrepreneur of the Year, Midwest Youth Entrepreneur of the Year and an honorary inductee into the Business Wisconsin Hall of Fame. Throughout those honorary events, I was mesmerized by the businesses men and women that I met and shook hands with, leaders such as Senator Barack Obama and Jeffrey Bleustein, CEO of Harley Davidson. From there on, I knew business was going to be my obsession. Through the past three years I have learned that facing challenges such as: language barriers, market competition, long hours of answering phone calls and e-mails is just a part of the life of a business and has developed me into a young business professional. However, without these challenges, I would not be where I am today; that fun loving guy that is always working hard to please everyone and doing my work the best I possibly can. Growing as an adult and as a professional, I look forward to experience all challenges and new opportunities that the world will bring; and one day maybe the era of the “Wal-Mart” will be phased out by a new era, mine.
