When I'm in the market for a new putter, I've currently narrowed down my choice to the two mentioned in my Tittle:

-Odyssey Black Series #1
-Scotty Cameron Studio Newport 2

Both of these putters have been critically acclaimed in various publications. I probably can't go wrong with either one.

Can someone explain the subtle differences between them and their experiences with either or both of them?

DRIVER - Tight Lies/Graphite/10°

IRONS - X-22/Steel/3-PWAW - SV Tour Black Satin/Steel/52°SW - SV Tour Black Satin/Steel/56°LW - SV Tour Black Satin/Steel/60°PUTTER - Black Series #2/34"

i agree you probabaly cant go wrong with either, the odyssey looks better than the cameron but man those scottys are sweet to putt with. the grip on the black series is sick! and i hate the studio grips but that is a minor detail and can always be changed. at least you already know that you cant go wrong, be confident no matter what you decide.

When I'm in the market for a new putter, I've currently narrowed down my choice to the two mentioned in my Tittle:

I tried both and thought the ball came off softer and with a purer roll on the Odyssey. Plus, as mentioned before, I think the Odyssey is better looking. Mind you, I have no bias either way as I use the Ping Zing Redwood, which looks and feels best TO ME. They're all similar quality putters, so you should just choose what's most comfortable to you.

My Tools of Ignorance:

Driver: Ping I20 9.5*
Woods/Hybrids: Cobra AMP 3W and 3 HY

Irons: Cobra AMP 4-GW

Wedges: Callaway Forged Copper 56* and 60*

Putters: Scotty Cameron  35" (Several of the flow neck blade variety)

Ball: Bridgestone B330-RX and Srixon Z-Star

Bag: Nike Performance Carry

I tried out a SC last night, but not the Studio Newport. I tried out the Newport Detour that they had in the store. What a difference a good putter makes! It just makes a sweet sound when it hits the ball. The ball comes off the putter a lot more crisp and connected to the putter.

My current putter feels muted and bland. Very unpredictable.

Totally agree that you can't go wrong with either one... You can easily change the thin grip on SC so it's not a big problem. I preferred the sound and feel of SC compared to Odyssey Black... My dad uses Odyssey Black so I actually have both of them at home... However, I am really looking forward to trying the upcoming Mizuno Black Carbon Series as well... But my SC Newport 2 will be staying in the bag for a long long time.

Have to admit, the SC Newport 2 is such a beautiful club. But, I can't let the looks sway my decision.

Well, I am very biased...hah, but I have the black series #2 (I liked the squared off look better), and I've never been more confident with a putter in my life. I don't care where I am on the green, I feel like I can easily 2 putt (doesn't always happen, but at least I have the confidence).

I can't comment on a Scotty, as I've never putted with one.

Save yourself some money and go with the Odyssey. Camerons are so overpriced its not even funny. His latest line of putters look so cheap its not even funny. I have putted with numerous camerons and still have yet to find one thats not as good as other putters I have used.
Dont buy your game and go with the Odyssey. Its a great putter and much better feel than the Cameron.

going with the odyssey makes sense on the idea that you want to save $50 but with all of the options that Scotty offers in the anser/newport style. insert or no insert he has a ton of different versions that you can buy. you even have the option of buying a used one and sending it in for resto. check it out www.scottycameron.com

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

      Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.

      What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By snapfade ·

      One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL

      I usually shy away from giving advice on a golf swing since so many here are more qualified than I am.  You might try the following:  Create a "MySwing" page on this  site and you will get a lot of good advice Filter all of the advice and try to only focus on one or two things at a time.  Unfortunately it is very hard, if not impossible, to constantly change different things at the same time.  Figure out what is the most important thing to work on at this moment in your golf swing and focus on that until you have it engrained, then move on the the next change. Remember, we all have both good & bad shots.  The difference between the pros and us hackers is the ratio of good to bad shots. Understand that a bad swing can occasionally look like a great result and a good swing can occasionally have a bad result.  The key is to focus on one thing and work to get that as consistent as possible.  Ideally that will gradually increase the number of good shots vs bad shots.    Do not forget to have fun.
