Hi

I can see in your sig you currently have the 2ball. Do you like bigger/heavier putters? If so the newport 2 may be too light for you. I'm partial to heavier putters, so I currently have the Scotty Cameron Squareback 2, and the Scotty Laguna 2.5. both relatively heavy putters with the laguna being smaller profile.

Only thing you can do it hit em all and see what feels the best... but I'm partial to scotty.

Well....those are four fairly different putters. All good ones. You just need to find which one feels best to you. Looks like three of the four are insert putters and one (the scotty) is a milled face. Milled vs insert provides two very different feels.

I would spend some time with each and focus on three things: 1. which one FEELS the best to you - weighting, stroke, ball of the face, etc. 2. which one gives you better distance judgement (try some longer lag putts) and 3. which one are your most consistant with in sinking 3-5 foot putts.

What I Play:

Driver: R9 460
4 Wood: G15

Hy: Callaway FT 3Hy

Irons: AP1 4-PW

Wedges: Vokey 52* & 60*, Mizuno MP-T 10 58*

Putter: Newport Studio Select 2.7

Ball: Nike One Vapor

I just purchased the White Ice Sabertooth and like it quite a bit. It's slightly more firm than older insert models, but not as firm as stainless steel. I was a blade putter guy, but after trying this thing out for about 45 minutes, I was convinced that this was the putter for me. I have a straight back, straight forward stroke and this club just seemed to stay straight for me more than all the other models I tried.

I tried out a bunch of TM Rossa models, almost every Odyssey putter lol (White Hot XG, White Ice, and Crimson models), some Cleveland models, some Pings and even a SeeMore. The store I was at didn't have Scottys, the Nike Method, or or Odessey Black Series.


EDIT: I was never an "insert guy" either, but the Sabertooth just felt right to me.

you can never go wrong with Scotty Cameron, but the only real way to find out which one is for you is to putt with all of them :)

Do this, but make sure you do it with YOUR golf balls. The ones you play everytime out.

Ive narrowed the options down now for one reson or the other! Cant find a scotty or sabretooth at a decent price which narrows my options down to either ping i series anser or odyssey rossie blade which im thinking might be best option due to softer face!!

I'm partial to heavier putters, so I currently have the Scotty Cameron Squareback 2, and the Scotty Laguna 2.5. both relatively heavy putters with the laguna being smaller profile.

The Newport 2, Squareback 2, and Laguna 2.5 (assuming all are Studio Select) all have the same headweight/swingweight for each length. The corresponding weights are 340g/35", 350g/34", and 360g/33". Each might feel different because of the size/layout of the putter head's shape, but the actual headweights are all the same. As for the original topic, the only correct choice is the one you make on your own. Don't just choose the one you make the most putts with on the practice green; choose the one you feel most comfortable with and you know in your gut is the best fit.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
