Advice please - I am comparing the SCotty Cameron Studio Select 2008 Newport 1.5, 2 and Circa 62 No2. They all feel nice and I putt well with them. Any feedback or comments. Thanks

Irons: Taylormade R7 (4-AW)SW: Vokey Spin Milled (56 degree)Putter: Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 (coming soon)Balls: Pro V1 and NXT Tour

I just had to make the same decision. I had all intentions of getting the Newport, but the gooseneck #2 62 just felt better. Neither is better techinically, the better one will be which one literally feels better to you.
I spent about an hour swapping back and forth to make sure.
Good luck and have fun!

I have the Circa '62 #2, and to me, it is AMAZING. But the keywords are "to me." I would like like to echo what scooterguitar said, try all of them, pick the one that feels and looks best to me.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

Thank you both. I agree -I liked both of them but only tried them for 10 minutes. I am going to spend an hour or two using both next weekend. I may end with two putters! Birthday and gift for myself...if only...

Haha that would be great.

My personal preference is that both feel great, I just do not like the dot instead of the sight line. I just could not get good alignment with the Circa 62 so I sold it.

I played my first round with thw 62 and was amazed, everyone else thought I was putting great as well.
One 3 putt , the rest were one putts or super close (few rotations from holing!) 2 putts.
Putting has always been my strong area, but this putter seems to just find the hole. Sure it could be all mental, but I've found THE PUTTER!
Good luck and have fun!

Don't overlook a Bettinardi/Mizuno putter. just got back from the local golf place and they had a couple of Yes, a SC Red X and the Bettinardi. My breakdown of puts made/puts taken

Bettinardi 14/15 (the miss was essentially just to the left by a hair and past the hole all of 6 inches)
Scotty 8/10 (to be fair I hate mallet putters and it was very nice but not for me)
Yes 0/10 (that is right - just couldn't stroke it with those putters)

Long story, longer - the Bettinardi really impressed me, great feel, the click and the damn thing simply put the ball in the hole every time.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
