plus1 Posted June 7, 2004 Report Share Posted June 7, 2004 i was looking at the scotty proto center shaft today and it has three red dots behind the neck to help with squaring the face up...ie if the face is square to the hole the hosel and shaft cover the dots. i was wondering what u experts think of this theory??? also do yous know any other manufacturers that use this idea on their putters..like gauge design????????????

Joe I would hardly have called the rounds at Pinehurst a putting contest between Payne and Phil. You had to be great from tee to green and especially around the greens to even contend....then the putting got interesting. Payne was ball striking very well that week and Phil was his usual magical short game self. But the pressure of constantly trying to save par proved to be just a little too much....that and Phil had wife/kids on his mind. Back to the topic. The three dots look too busy when you just look at the putter, but as alignment aids, it works really well. At the very least, it will prevent you from leaning the shaft back when you address a putt, which is a kiss of death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Yeah, Scotty definitely copied SeeMore. I interviewed with SeeMore a couple of years ago. They are based out in California, but their sales/marketing chief is in the Illinois area. They have a pretty solid idea, and a decent product line. Some players using the putter are Zach Johnson, Vaughn Taylor, and Briny Baird. I know Tom Kite and Lee Janzen have used SeeMore in the past - as well as Payne. They just haven't figured out how to make their idea aesthetically pleasing. Leave it to Scotty to make something look appealing to the eye. Lots of people might call him Scotty Copyman, but you gotta hand it to him - he knows what looks good and what sells. Sometimes, imitation is the best form of flattery.
