I putted with my friends Scotty Cameron Newport 1.5 and it was freaking heaven on earth. It's likely what I'll get for Christmas, but I was wondering if there is a better version of the scotty cameron? Possibly the Studio Select Newport 2, or something like that?

What's your definition of better? If you like it and putt well with it, then it's the best. I have a SC, but it's 15 years old. I haven't felt the need for a new one.

I've had multiple people tell me that for Scotty Cameron putters, you're just paying for the name. But if it works for you, go for it.

My friend, who is easily the best putter out of all my friends, still uses his old beat up "piece of crap" that he's always had, it looks like he found it in a shipwreck yet continues to out putt us regularly! I've never tried a sc but would love to! just to see what all the fuss is about! Can some of those prices be justified??

Agreed, a guy can just go nuts picking out putters every 3 months and all the while it's simply the stroke/confidence/read etc....etc....

I have had to put the brakes on myself over the past year I have changed putters 3 times and have finally said enough, had to come to terms with the fact the greens at my home course are some of the fastest deceptive greens in the area and that 1 or 2 three puts a round are bound to happen especially if I'm 50'+ away.

Yeah it's called an Edel ;-) Choosing a putter is a very individual thing, no way someone can tell you what's "better" without fitting you for it.

A competent Titleist fitter (not necessarily a clerk at a big box store) can help you select a Scotty that is well suited to your putting stroke and style and fits your eye.  Same for Ping and perhaps other brands.  If you're going to spend the money for a premium putter, you should get properly fitted just like for a premium driver.

Driver: Titleist 913 D2 10.5*, Aldila RIP Phenom 50

Fairway 1: Titleist 913F, 17*, Titleist Bassara W55

Fairway 2: Titleist 913F, 21*, Titleist Bassara W55

Irons: Titleist AP1 714 5-PW, Aerotech Steelfiber i95

Wedges: SCOR 4161 48/52/56/60, Genius 9

Grips: GolfPride New Decade Red Mid-size on all of the above.

Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 - Super Stroke Slim 3.0

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.
