Hi All

currently in the process of buying a new scotty cameron....I basically have two grip options.

It's the Select Newport 2 Notchback model I'm getting which comes with what it refers to as 'Scotty Select Grip - black' or I can get a custom option of 'Scotty California Pistolero' in Red/Black......

does anyone know if there is much difference between these two options?  I'm leaning towards the Pistolero option but unsure if there is much real difference.

many thanks!

You need to try them and figure out which fits your swing pattern, grip and arc...if both are neutral get the one that you feel would be more durable in your bag.

I recently got fitted to a SC and couldn't believe all that went into a putter fitting!  I ended up with the Monterey and lost 6 strokes a round from putting alone...

thank you.....the notchback suits me in terms of the model but the pistolero grip wasn't available to try where i was.  so i was wondering how much difference there was between that and the current 'stock' grip....

Then you've got to try an Edel Fitting...

...the putter is separated into pieces - head, weight, hosel, even different shaft, cb weights, grip, pixl insert, and then sight lines - and a model is assembled based on how you aim and lagging tests. They take it all down and send it to Edel, who makes the putter.

As to Scotty, the notchback is a nice putter. As to grip, you've got to hold it and see if it fits as the other member posted.

the pistolero is a lot heavier, it's make the putter play about 4-5 swingweights lighter then with a studio grip, so you may or may not want to select different weights for it based on that.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
