i don't know of a better putter than the newports, or a better feel, so i dont know what to tell you. My advice would be to go to Golf galaxy and just spend a day hitting all the putters there.

Bettinardi putters are really nice. I've heard so many people say, their SC are now in the close after putting with a Bettirnadi. I've tested the C series and they are awesome.

a friend of mine picked up one of the new Bettinardi mallets, the all black strange looking things. Anyways, if you can get past the look then they are a great stick. I was suprised how much I liked it, I'm not really a mallet guy.

but like said above, kind of hard to find something with a better feel and roll than a scotty

This will be a very subjective opinion, given it's based on feel. A putter can feel very differrent from one person to another. Personally I've used many different Scotty's over the years and I'm very impressed with the Yes! Golf putters, but that's me

I have several including a JAT, Napa, Stainless Steel Newport 2, Detour, Red X. If you're looking for something with a thicker wall then first try a mallet, if you still don't like that then try one without an insert in the face.

I have a Never Compromise GM2 MM, I know that you don't like mallets, but they also make blade putters. I have tried my GM2 side by side with a Scotty Cameron putter (that was my instructor's putter) and i prefered the GM2, and they also have a lower price tag. And by the way good luck with finding a new putter.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

Mine has a sight line. If you are able to find one and it doesn't happen to have a sight line then you can send it to the Scotty Cameron Custom Shop to have one added.

a newport is a little smaller than a newport 2 but the 2 can be bought the way you want it. it has different shaft length options with corrected headweights and the lie and loft can be different than standard all straight from scotty.

    • Non conforming clubs still count towards the maximum number.   But to the OP, the maximum penalty is a match adjustment of two holes in match play, or a maximum of four strokes (the general penalty applied to the first two holes) in stroke play.  Its entirely possible you would have come out ahead even if the penalties had been applied.

    • Day 68 (8 Jul 25) - Took grandson and the Mrs for an easy nine today.  She only wanted her driver, 7i and putter, so I trimmed my bag back to accommodate.  Had a blast watching her shake the rust off and hit some nice drives, approaches and roll putts.  Got her to use my 7w for those par 5 second shots - she used it well.  Grandson was on his game as well.  For me it was about course management and working from yardages and positions I don’t usually play - with fewer options to get back in play.  Love mixing it up like this - makes me think and not just boringly do. 
    • During league night on Wednesday I had a bit of a lightbulb go off and I struck my approaches well all day. But the best one was a Gap Wedge from the fescue on hole 16.   Crossed myself up on a tee shot that requires a fade. Instead I hit a slight draw into the fescue. (The fescue doesn't show up on the shotscope picture, but trust me, it's there.) I was left 109 to the flag. I hit a gap wedge to about 12 feet. Yeah, I missed the birdie putt. But didn't embarrass myself. Took tap in par and happily moved on to hole 17.  In all the time I've been playing this course. I've never played a ball to the left of the little tree shown in the top right corner of the bottom picture. 
    • My game, for a lot of reasons is finally starting to improve.  I darn near completed the no sixes challenge this morning. I snuck out early today and played my home course. I was the first one off and finished in under 2 hours.  I hit 8 fairways and was just off on 4 others. Only 2 tee balls were what I'd consider wild. (I made a GIR from the next fairway over on one of them. 🤷‍♂️) I made 8 GIR's and had 8 NGIR's. I shot my lowest round since 2019 and didn't even putt particularly well. I had four or five really good birdie chances and didn't convert any. I also missed one well inside 3 feet on 13. That one hurt. Oops.  I played really well on Wednesday. Shooting a +1, 37 on the back nine. I birdied 2 of the last 4 holes. My approaches are where I'm seeing the biggest difference. I think the swing I've been working on for the past few months is starting to sink in. Here is Wednesday's strokes gained vs a 5 HCP. I'm excited to play tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing if this is this the start of a parade or just a lone drummer passing by?
