The Scott Golf Woody putter is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.\u00a0 Wooden insert provides a unique look and a solid, connected feel.\u00a0 A precision putting tool with relatively good forgiveness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/p>\n

Judging by the releases from major OEMs and the putters used by the top players on Tour, in the war between mallets and blades, the mallets have won.\u00a0 And it\u2019s not particularly surprising: there are a lot of objective advantages to playing a big, modern mallet.\u00a0 But just as some players will never give up their blade irons, many golfers will stick with their Anser style putters.\u00a0 If you\u2019re one of those players, and you want a beautiful, unique piece of craftsmanship, check out the Scott Golf Woody putter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Looks<\/p>\n

What separates the\u00a0Scott Golf Woody putter from the mountain of other Anser putters is the \u201cpatented wooden inlay\u201d face.\u00a0 Scott Golf offers eight different wood options: Maple, Spalted Maple, African Blackwood, Ironwood, Maple Burl, Tamarind, Cocoa Burl, Redwood Burl.\u00a0 It\u2019s a beautiful, unique option that allows golfers to connect to the game\u2019s past. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While the wooden inlay is the most obvious departure from the norm, a closer look reveals that the Scott Golf Woody putter takes other liberties with the classic design.\u00a0 Compared to most other Anser and Anser 2 style putters in my database, the Woody is about 1\/8\u2033 shorter from heel to toe.\u00a0 More noticeable is the width of the cavity \u2013 about 1\/4\u2033 wider than most.\u00a0 This gives it an address look that\u2019s simultaneously comfortable and distinct.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally, the Scott Golf Woody putter boasts a very sharp head cover.\u00a0 The white, faux alligator base adds subtle flair and provides sharp contrast for the large, green tree graphic.\u00a0 Kudos to Scott Golf for using the head cover to tie together the wood theme rather than just slapping a giant logo on it.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSound & Feel<\/p>\n

The sound of impact with the\u00a0Scott Golf Woody putter is a clear \u201ctock.\u201d\u00a0 As the length of your putt varies, the volume of the impact sound changes proportionally.\u00a0 This putter also has some of the most interesting audio feedback I\u2019ve encountered.\u00a0 The heel has a dead \u201cthud\u201d sound; there\u2019s no question you missed it badly.\u00a0 On the toe, the character of the sound remains the same, but it\u2019s less lively.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With a tour quality golf ball, the feel of impact is very satisfying.\u00a0 It\u2019s solid and connected, which is what I was hoping for from the wooden insert.\u00a0 It\u2019s fairly soft, and the ball feels a little heavy on the face.\u00a0 The feedback through the hands mirrors the sound: the heel feels completely dead, the toe feels similar to the center but duller.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like to borrow too heavily from the manufacturer\u2019s copy in my reviews.\u00a0 I\u2019m making a small exception here because I think that Scott Golf chose some really great words.\u00a0 They describe the feel of impact as \u201csoft, composed\u2026deliberate and controlled.\u201d\u00a0 I think all of those are spot on.\u00a0 The level of precision in the way this putter feels is one of its highlights.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nPerformance<\/p>\n

Let me stick with that idea of precision as we turn to performance.\u00a0 From the way that it feels during the swing to the sensation of impact, everything about this putter feels precise and intentional.\u00a0 The head weight is average by modern standards \u2013 360 grams \u2013 and it produces a swing weight of D4 at 34\u2033.\u00a0 For me, this creates a clear sense of where the putter is throughout the stroke and that I can control it.\u00a0 With a heavier head, it can feel like the putter swings itself, which is not the feeling some players want. [See Price \/ Buy<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That emphasis on touch and feel is the explicit purpose of the Scott Golf Woody putter.\u00a0 Per Scott Golf, this is for players \u201cwho prioritize feel [and] pace control\u201d as it \u201cenhances touch and distance control.\u201d\u00a0 I think this is all fair, but I\u2019ll add that every golfer is different in their feel preferences.\u00a0 Some golfers will have better touch with a lighter putter; others will have better touch with something heavier.\u00a0 After spending the majority of the last year with fairly heavy zero torque putters, I\u2019m learning (again) that I\u2019m in the former group.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

With the Scott Golf Woody putter, I found that my distance control at all ranges was excellent.\u00a0 I attribute this to the combination of excellent feedback, consistent ball speed, and the lighter head weight.\u00a0 With the lighter head, I feel more in control of the putter, and I have the sense that I can make an affirmative stroke without sending the ball into orbit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The traditional design and emphasis on touch may lead you to believe that this putter is not forgiving.\u00a0 I found, however, that the wider cavity on the Scott Golf Woody putter gave it superior forgiveness to a standard Anser, particularly on the toe side.\u00a0 To be clear, the Woody is not on a level with a Spider or other modern mallet, but I was impressed at how well small misses still got to the hole.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally, Scott Golf finishes the Woody with premium components that enhance the player\u2019s experience.\u00a0 Your hands are connected to the club with a perforated leather The Grip Master putter grip.\u00a0 That\u2019s installed on a KBS GPS graphite putter shaft.\u00a0 The shaft accentuates the soft feel of impact, and the leather grip deepens that old school, craftsman appeal of the Woody.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

While mallets are certainly having their time in the sun, a putter like the Scott Golf Woody putter shows why the classic blade will never go away.\u00a0 This is a beautiful putter with wonderful feel that will make you feel like you\u2019re in total control on the green.
