When I'm in the market for a new putter, I've currently narrowed down my choice to the two mentioned in my Tittle:

-Odyssey Black Series #1
-Scotty Cameron Studio Newport 2

Both of these putters have been critically acclaimed in various publications. I probably can't go wrong with either one.

Can someone explain the subtle differences between them and their experiences with either or both of them?

i agree you probabaly cant go wrong with either, the odyssey looks better than the cameron but man those scottys are sweet to putt with. the grip on the black series is sick! and i hate the studio grips but that is a minor detail and can always be changed. at least you already know that you cant go wrong, be confident no matter what you decide.

When I'm in the market for a new putter, I've currently narrowed down my choice to the two mentioned in my Tittle:

I tried both and thought the ball came off softer and with a purer roll on the Odyssey. Plus, as mentioned before, I think the Odyssey is better looking. Mind you, I have no bias either way as I use the Ping Zing Redwood, which looks and feels best TO ME. They're all similar quality putters, so you should just choose what's most comfortable to you.

My Tools of Ignorance:

Driver: Ping I20 9.5*
Woods/Hybrids: Cobra AMP 3W and 3 HY

Irons: Cobra AMP 4-GW

Wedges: Callaway Forged Copper 56* and 60*

Putters: Scotty Cameron  35" (Several of the flow neck blade variety)

Ball: Bridgestone B330-RX and Srixon Z-Star

Bag: Nike Performance Carry

I tried out a SC last night, but not the Studio Newport. I tried out the Newport Detour that they had in the store. What a difference a good putter makes! It just makes a sweet sound when it hits the ball. The ball comes off the putter a lot more crisp and connected to the putter.

My current putter feels muted and bland. Very unpredictable.

Totally agree that you can't go wrong with either one... You can easily change the thin grip on SC so it's not a big problem. I preferred the sound and feel of SC compared to Odyssey Black... My dad uses Odyssey Black so I actually have both of them at home... However, I am really looking forward to trying the upcoming Mizuno Black Carbon Series as well... But my SC Newport 2 will be staying in the bag for a long long time.

Have to admit, the SC Newport 2 is such a beautiful club. But, I can't let the looks sway my decision.

Well, I am very biased...hah, but I have the black series #2 (I liked the squared off look better), and I've never been more confident with a putter in my life. I don't care where I am on the green, I feel like I can easily 2 putt (doesn't always happen, but at least I have the confidence).

I can't comment on a Scotty, as I've never putted with one.

Save yourself some money and go with the Odyssey. Camerons are so overpriced its not even funny. His latest line of putters look so cheap its not even funny. I have putted with numerous camerons and still have yet to find one thats not as good as other putters I have used.
Dont buy your game and go with the Odyssey. Its a great putter and much better feel than the Cameron.

going with the odyssey makes sense on the idea that you want to save $50 but with all of the options that Scotty offers in the anser/newport style. insert or no insert he has a ton of different versions that you can buy. you even have the option of buying a used one and sending it in for resto. check it out www.scottycameron.com

    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
    • Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

    • I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them
    • I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.
