Let's take a look at some prices really quickly...
Scotty Cameron- $300
Ping Redwood- $300
Yes! Putters - $300
Cleveland Classic- $100
The four examples listed above are all milled, non insert putters. They have all received critical acclaim, and they have all won on tour. They are all production models, not custom work, not special editions.
Look at entry's 1-3, and look at entry 4. See a slight difference?
What I am getting at is, why are these premium putters so darned expensive? I mean, are they three times as good as the Cleveland? Are they hand forged from bricks of, I don't know, myrrh? No, and hell no. So what gives? Are you just paying for the name, or am I missing something here? Is there some special, more labor intensive process they use that creates a significant difference in quality? I don't know, but you tell me. Chime in with your thoughts.
