Brought some of his putter collection out for you Greg

[Puttersaurus Rex]

Thanks for the pictures of the specification stickers/tape!

[MattM97]

All of those putters and probably still going with the last one in the thread. 

 

The putter spec info is cool, I'm wondering if he accounts weight as well or is setup more important to him? 

[collindm1]

I've never understood why he doesn't just pick one putter that he likes the most and stick with it? He always ends up going back to "ACE" so why fight it? I did like when he gamed his T22 though, maybe that will come back

[BigtimeHC]

I'm sure this isn't even scratching the surface of his full collection and it's completely ridiculous.

 

Need to see him roll that first handcrafted weld neck. That thing is 100% 🔥

Cause when you're a putter nut and you have basically an infinite supply of Circle T putters you're going to take advantage of that.

Well he didn't bring the carousel of every tour AD shaft ever made so he must feel good with his wood shafts 😆

Thanks for the amazing pics @pga43

 

Such an interesting bag

I wonder if the constant bombardment of potential challengers is what keeps his confidence up in the gamer. Like the champion is only really the champion if he defends the title, so the constant waves of new Camerons is kinda like...

I could see that as well, I remember Adam Scott would use anything but his gamer on non competitive rounds to keep the gamer mojo, honeymoon, etc working. That's until it didn't.

Anything to keep a bit of a psychological edge for sure. No weirder than baseball players that get hot and start doing things like tying their shoes exactly the same way or not changing their socks, lol. 

I'm trying to imagine how the guy that had to build this felt:



"Another Hideki build? Ok no worries, what does he want this ti.......i'm sorry how many? EIGHT tungsten plugs? For chrissakes....ok fine where does he want them? Oh on the back edge of the rear bumper......so the hardest place to drill easily gotcha. Cool cool cool."

I told his interrupter that before I retire from Golfwrx or die my goal was to photograph Hideki’s Cameron collection (I told him I had done DL,III’s collection). He said good luck. Then one of Hideki’s guys showed me two iPhone photos of most of the putters in a room at Hideki’s house. 
 

I asked him to ask Hideki if I could at least post those photos. No response back.

Any idea on a ballpark total? I’m sure it’s silly

Hideki’s caddy needs a caddy.

It is a really cool putter, though.

[Christen_The_Sloop]

The putters are nice, but I want a set of those wedges. I just replaced my RTX 4 forged, but I still like to pick them up. They feel really nice and soft. I bet those are disgustingly nice.

[easylittle5wood]

Has he always played Iomic X-Grips? For some reason I thought he played firmer JDM only Stickys. 

[PLnative2009]

Love the putter collection!!  

How does he swing that driver? That's crazy!

[Daren]

Hideki: Putter 

Scotty Cameron: What do you need ? 

Hideki: Putter

Scotty Cameron: Say no more 

[BigtimeHC]

I’ll be dadgummed if he didn’t listen and put the handcrafted weldneck in play today. Solid 65 🔥

Some have a 401k others have a putter01k. I'd love to see those pictures on his phone. I wonder what his tinker toy or lego collection looked like as a kid. Habits have to start somewhere 🙂 

[TiScape]

What’s NOT in Hideki’s bag… His wallet! 
😩

 

 

🤣

[KevCannon]

Hideki needs to hire a 2nd caddie (or just somebody to carry an additional bag of just putters). I am all for tinkering and trying different stuff, but sweet Jesus Hideki…. The putter faces are all different too.

His putter collection could fund a college education... 😳

[PowerCobra98]

I literally started laughing as I kept scrolling down through the pictures and it was putter after putter after putter.  If you know you know!
