Titleist Cameron Studio Stainless Newport 2.5 Putter Golf Club

For years I have been watching Scotty Cameron putters in so many touring pro's bags. I've gotten my game to a point where shaving a couple more strokes off my handicap will get me to single digits. If so many pros use Cameron putters there must be a reason, right? I started watching Cameron putters on EBAY about 2-yrs ago, investigating different models, finally narrowing it down to the Studio Newport 2.5. What attracted me to this model initially was the clean, smooth lines. The size and shape of the putter head is very similar to my old Ping putter so I knew the transition wouldn't be dramatic. This particular Studio Newport 2.5 caught my eye as there was some customization (paint & finish) that made it stand out from the pack. Besides I just paid off my Caddie and wanted a new toy. I've used this putter for 3 or 4 rounds now and practiced an hour with it. Its everything I expected. The putter feels good in my hands, my friends say it feels light. I play the Pro V1 and the ball rolls smoothly from impact. The sound of the putter striking the ball gives me some unexpected feedback. I can clearly hear miss-hits. If I strike the ball off center (toe or heel) I can hear it! My stroke is good and my misses usually stem from coming up, off the putt. With this putter I know it immediately, I can hear it. One last thing I noticed is that the sight line on the putter helps me line up the sweetspot to the ball. Its obvious if I am not centered over the ball at address, I can see it and I can adjust. I am clearly impressed with my Scotty Cameron Studio Newport 2.5 and I expect to use it for years.

These are great putters with great feel and consistency. If you can't putt with a Scotty, well you probably can't putt at all. I prefer these very simple hosel of the 2.5, it really seems to make the shaft flow to head. Although I usually have my putters bent up 2 degrees to get the head closer to my feet, I'm planning on leaving this one alone as it simply makes a perfect setup for me with its 34" length. I also have a 2008 Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Mid Slant with 20 gram weights, 34 1/2" and up 2 degrees. I'm already prefering the older Newport 2.5 as it feels a bit lighter and seems to flow with my stroke better. This is probably going to be the best investment I've made in my golf equipment to date. We'll see....

The Studio Stainless Newport 2.5 takes the best putter head in the business and marries it with the Santa Fe neck design, promoting solid ball impact and exceptional feel. There are people who prefer the pumbers neck of the Newport and Newport 2 and they are the more popular of the neck styles. The shorter Santa Fe style neck design on the 2.5 is underrated and under appreciated. An excellent value.

I've never owned a Cameron putter before and I recently purchased this Newport 2.5 and a Red X mallet for my father-in law. Both putters can be summed as with the word "solid". The Newport's sweet spot (never really felt a sweet spot on a putter before) is very noticable and wonderful. I can certainly tell when I hit the sweet spot and when I don't. It's very solid. I didn't notice it quite as much with the mallet, but my father-in law loves it's feel. It's a bit heavier a feel than then Newport 2.5. We both are very pleased with our new Scotty putters as I'm sure anyone would be.

PUTTER WAS PURCHASED A FEW WEEKS AGO & IMMEDIATELY WENT OUT PLAYED WITH IT. HAVING OWNED SEVERAL SCOTTY CAMERON'S I LIKE THE DESIGN & LOOKS OF THIS PUTTER THE BEST. SOLID FEEL AT CONTACT & THE TRUEST OF ROLL. ONCE YOU HAVE PUTTED WITH A SCOTTY, NOTHING ELSE WILL DO.
