WTS: Rare Cameron Newport/Newport Mid

[hurley9192]

I have a Newport Mid that I cut down to 32.5 inches from 43 inches so that I could have the heavier head (it is 370 grams), but in a Newport look. Until their new series, you couldn't get a Cameron Newport in anything but the 330 gram head. So, I had the work done at the PGA Tour Superstore. However, I just don't make any more putts than I did with my old Cameron so I'm looking to get some cash for it.

$275 includes shipping OBO. Email me with any questions at chausz@gmail.com

Thanks,
Craig

Why is this rare? All you did was cut down a Newport :-\

[hurley9192]

because it's not a Newport head, it's a Newport Mid head that is 370 grams vs. the normal 330 gram heads that were the only available option for this model. One of the things they changed in the new models was to add variable weighting so that people could have a Newport head with a heavier weight.

I don't imagine there are too many like it in the world, so it makes it rare.

So let me see if I understand this. You took a putter (43") that was already considered rare because it had a Newport mid head and then hacked the shaft down, thereby impairing its rarity in its original form? Is that what you did?

Im not trying to be a jerk but their is no need to make posts like yours.

hurley9192- good luck selling your putter.

Thanks for the post, but I may actually be interested in the putter, and like the poster above, I'm confused as to the rarity factor. Was it rare to start with, or was it rare because of head combo on the then cut down length shaft. Its probably just me, but the response from the OP didn't necessarily clear the question up for me.

[hurley9192]

No...I took a Newport Mid 43 inch putter with a 370 gram head and cut it down to 32.5 inches.

What makes it rare is that you basically what looks like a Newport with a 370 gram head. The Newports were only made with 330 gram heads. So, if you wanted that look, but a heavier head, you most likely loaded down the shaft with weight and the head with lead tape. This solves the problem.

As for the rare comment, it is rare because if you look at it, you think it's a Newport. Then, when you swing it, it feels much heavier and more solid. I feel that it's rare because I've never seen another one like it or heard of one. You have a clean look with the desirable weight. The club is currently rare...the original was a standard, off the shelf Newport Mid.

Also, I just noticed that all my pics are gone, so I'll post the links to them or you can PM me and I'll send them.

wouldnt the lie be off though? coming from a belly to a standard the lie would need to be adjusted

[hurley9192]

No, the lie is 71 degrees, which I think is standard. Most belly putters are the same length as regular putters since they only extend 8 or more inches longer into the belly and are basically held in the same posture.
