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 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
