The Putter Studio is a dream setup that allows me to really focus on my number one goal, which has always been to make the finest putters in the world. Everything else is secondary. There’s hardly a sign identifying this special place, and no map to the Putter Studio. In fact, the only way to get here is to be invited. I keep it this way because the Putter Studio is a research and development facility for putters and accessories. I concentrate intensely on getting three things working together in harmony—the golf ball, the putter, and the player. My team and I are constantly trying new things, improving on the old, and pushing the Art of Putting to the next level. This is a place for testing, learning, imagination, and innovation. It’s also a hot rod shop for putters. But I’ll get to that in a minute.

When I started making putters in my garage, I dreamed of a larger facility where I could create. Don't get me wrong, I still work in my garage at home all the time. But to really do what I wanted to do, I needed a bigger shop. So, I sat down and hammered out a plan for the Putter Studio. And what I’ve come up with is a state-of-the-art facility. The nature of this Studio is to have a place where the art and science of putting can be practiced and put into play immediately—for the top Tour professionals and loyal Cameron putter players around the world who send their putters to the Custom Shop for work.

People often ask, Why a Putter Studio? It’s a great question. The Putter Studio—and namely the Performance Shop—was created as a place to help me figure out the answers to questions and thoughts we all have with putting. If the putting path is bad, does the ball actually cut or hook? Is the ball compressed hard enough to hook or cut? How does weight shift affect path? What about posture? Posture related to lie angle and shaft length? Is shaft angle the same at address as it is at impact? Does the putter have enough loft? How does ball position affect lie angle, and how does shaft angle affect loft? The list goes on. And that’s why I developed the Performance Shop inside the Putter Studio.

It’s inside there where I gather information based on these questions so I can formulate theories and prove them as facts—and then share them with the game’s top players. The information I use to make putters for touring professionals goes directly into my designs and modifications for putters that make it to production. Only in this environment—with the proper diagnostic tools we’ve custom fit to this location—can I find the answers to these questions to gain knowledge and the peace of mind we’re all searching for with regard to putting.

The Performance Shop
Everything we do at the Putter Studio revolves around the Performance Shop. This is where the Art of Putting meets its scientific counterpart. This room with its two-story vaulted ceiling is literally positioned in the center of the building and is the focal point for Tour fittings, research, and analysis. The Performance Shop is equipped with force plates to measure weight distribution, lasers for alignment, and high speed video cameras set up at various angles to capture information about a player’s address, stroke, and follow through. Everything is played back on flat screen monitors for instant analysis of the performance of the ball versus the putter versus the player.

This is a studio where players can learn and concentrate without distraction in a relaxing, but focused, environment. Additionally, we help them understand which putter fits their style of putting. The data we compile in the Performance Shop helps me design and create the best putter for a player’s individual needs. A player can come to the Studio and in a short time I can understand what he or she needs and likes. Then, I can create a putter to fill his or her needs right here at the Putter Studio.

The Custom Shop & Tour Department
I love the actual milling and grinding, buffing and bending, welding and stamping, shafting and tweaking of putter making. The Putter Studio’s Custom Shop is the perfect place for me to do this. In here, we treat every putter like a touring pro’s gamer. We can pretty much do anything we want to a putter in the Custom Shop. What I love is that not only do we service the top players in the world by dialing in putters to their exact specifications, but we also restore and customize putters for anyone who’d like to give their putter the star treatment.

The Custom Shop actually comprises the Tour Department, various customization stations, the Restoration Department, the Authentication Department, and Customer Service all under the same roof. Inside these walls we can pull apart a putter, mill the face, buff out the head, re-paint, add lines and sight dots, stamp initials and logos, re-shaft, re-grip, re-tune, and authenticate—pretty much outfit any putter any way you’d like it (within reason, of course). My goal with the Custom Shop is to provide you with a way to extend the life of your Scotty Cameron putter—even add some new life to it—by getting your gamer back in mint condition, giving it virtually an endless life. I want you to play my putter forever, and the Custom Shop gives you this opportunity.

The Custom Shop is not only for restoration and customization of existing Cameron putters. It’s set up with everything I need for prototyping, milling, welding, buffing, grinding, shaping and finishing new putters, too. As my father always said, if you don’t have the right tools, you can’t do the right job. I’ll come in here with an idea and build a putter from scratch in no time. Having the right space and tools is everything. Now, if I just had more time!

One Stop Shop
Our staff offices are upstairs where we design everything from headcovers to new Cameron Creations, apparel to shaft bands, art and logos for everything we make, and even this website. It’s all housed here at the Putter Studio, my dream creative work space. I still don’t have an actual desk or office, but I consider any part of the Putter Studio my workspace. Sometimes I’ll just write an idea on the floor…or a wall…or a work bench…you name it. That’s the point of a creative space—to be creative! And, to have a place where everyone enjoys coming to work on Monday. So far, so good. Thanks for dropping in. I hope you enjoyed this brief tour of the Putter Studio.
