Scotty Cameron Select Newport 2

www.titleist.com Headweight: Changeable depending on length Grip: Matador Select Black Toe hang: Moderate

TECH:

Precision-milled in the USA by Scotty’s team of craftsmen from soft 303 steel to maximise feel and responsiveness. A floating insert helps raise MOI, which means a higher resistance to twisting when you don’t hit putts from the centre. A new four-way sole helps golfers set up square to their target more easily.

WE SAY:

The Newport 2 is one of Scotty’s most coveted models and it’s easy to see why. It’s special from top to bottom, and a true classic that’s been refined again for 2018. The head’s moderate toe hang will suit a stroke with a bit of rotation (like Tiger’s) and we felt the head bore a touch more weight which we really liked as it’s been said before that Scotty’s can be a bit light for year-round use. The simple, single alignment line focuses attention really nicely. At this price and with masses of customisation opportunities, you simply have to get fitted.

TOP GEAR VERDICT

A top-quality putter which blade purists will adore. The second-generation floating insert and improved vibration damping are worthwhile refinements. If you must have the Rolex of putters, you’ve just found a legendary model.
