Scotty Newport 2 or Newport 2 mid-slant?

[bunkerputt]

I've been looking at a lot of putters, and I think I've got it narrowed down to one of these. I can't decide. I feel like I set up better with the Newport 2, but the mid-slant looks cool. They both roll the ball great. The Newport 2 has a full-shaft offset, but the mid-slant has 3/4". I'm totally confused. If you play one of these, tell me whether you prefer the Newport 2 or the mid-slant neck and why.

I use the mid-slant. The offsets between the two are essentially the same. Perhaps the mid-slant has a centimeter or two less, but you wont notice it. They both hang the same amount, as well. I use the mid-slant because its has a cleaner look down to the ball, imo. When i was demoing the two, i didnt putt better with one style of neck than i did the other. Its a personal preference.

It's less than 1/4" the diameter of the putter shaft, which is probably less than 1/4 centimeter. I like the idea of the mid-slant: fewer angles, cleaner look. But it is tougher for me to set up to, for some reason. I think it's the clash of sharp angles on the putter head and curves on the neck. I think I just hit the full offset a little bit purer.

I prefer the midslant as well. It is really just a matter of preference.

Go with what feels more better to you. I dont think youre loosing out in choosing one style over the other. They're both basically identical putters.
