I am shopping around for a new putter and am toying with the idea of either the Scotty Cameron Newport 2 or 2.5. I've managed to try the Newport 2 at a golf place over the weekend. I like the heavy head and the feel of the club. Have been looking around to try the Newport 2.5 but can't seem to find a shop nearby that carries it.

I would hope Newport 2 and Newport 2.5 users are able to give me your inputs on each of these clubs you've used... If possible, can anyone who used both clubs offer me your inputs on what you find different (other than physical of course ;P) between these two clubs?

As I am residing in Singapore, we do not have the luxuary of having some much variety of clubs like you guys do in the states (so envious.. kekekek) so other options like YES putters, TP Mills are out of the question.. (I've got a quote to ship those over and guess what???? It would probably cost the same price as a scotty here....) L.O.L

Thanks guys..

I have two Newport 2's. Tel3 (restored) & Pro platinum. I only have good things to say about them. I have never tired the 2.5 but they are very similar its just preference.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Cleveland Gunmetal, I've actually searched the website before and was hoping that Scotty Cameron's website would provide some feedback or comparison between the two but unfortunately none.

I am hoping to hear some "testers" who maybe using the newport 2 and may have tried the newport 2.5 at a recent visit to a golf shop for their inputs. Unfortunately, not many shops here have both available at the same time.. I wonder why?? (Are they so similiar that it doesnt make sense to the retaillers to carry both???) Please keep your comments coming in... thanks a bunch guys.

Well, I've tried both of them and to me they felt the same. I think (and you may want to get info from the Scotty guru's) the biggest difference is that the Newport 2 has more offset and the toe shape is a little different. I think it just boils down to how the putter sets up and which one best fits your eye.

The difference - aside from the 1/2 shaft offset difference - is the neck. One has a flowing neck and the other has a plumber's neck. It's mostly about feel, but I personally think the 2.5 (flowing neck) feels a little more solid, at least on the Newport Detour putters.

    • Sounds about right. I forgot this place existed until now.
    • Day 5: Mirror work focusing on the start of the backswing
    • Day 82 (22 Jul 25) - played our church men’s group captains choice nine hole this evening.  Had a blast working green side shots with the wedges.  Love the format as I play a nine club bag which brings on shot creativity in a fun way. 
    • Finished Bandon Trail today. Man what a course. Big upgrade over Sheep Ranch. I am giving Sheep Ranch a  7/10. Mostly views, course was good, and fun.  I am giving Bandon Trails 8.25/10. It's up there with Sand Valley in my opinion. Much more demanding of the course. With the wind it just gets brutal.  The first two holes are fully exposed to the wind, since they sit on the western edge of the course, open to the pacific. Even though it is tree lined, the wind has a big impact as it rolls over the hills and dunes. You can be surrounded by trees and feel the 20 mph wind at the tee box or fairway. I recommend using the yardage book, as it contains the course layout with a compass rose showing the prevailing wind (almost always from the north in the summer). It's easier to judge which direction the wind is going.  I played halfway decent. I hate when the shank gets loaded into the gun. Short game is on point, putting is good. I just need to make better swigs. My shot is definitely not built for wind. 😭 Here are some photos...    
    • Would he not be entitled to unplayable relief and a one stroke penalty? And wouldn't the drop for unplayable plausibly be the same as the one he took?  That he cited the wrong rule and no penalty makes this a two stroke penalty instead of one? I'm assuming I'm wrong and there is a rule that prevents the player from reinterpreting his actions afterwards?  Regarding rule 14.7 - wrong place - and the general penalty. In this case, he gained a significant advantage by having an unimpeded swing? Shouldn't the penalty be for a "serious breach"? DQ?
