So about two weeks ago I picked up a new Camron & Crown Newport 2 , I've always loved a blade putter and had been looking at this for awhile. Although I had kinda always struggled with a blade I thought this might be the answer, well same result. I went back to the shop where I made my purchase and started trying some other Scotty's , what I ended up with was the Futura 5MB at 34". I never would have thought this style of putter would work for me, and I have to say at first glance it looks a little odd, but then it seemed like the putter just melted into the ground and all I see is the sight line and my ball. I dropped the first four shots I took with this thing, then went outside and rolled a few more and same results. Judging speed seems natural and it holds a line like nothing I have ever tried. I have never been happier

@Kloeshuman That's a nice looking putter.  Simple look in a mid-sized mallet (both things I like, I play a Rossie).  From the picture, I actually like this better than the Newport 3, which I've been eyeing.  Nice pick up!

Thanks! It took me a few minutes (ok, a few putts) to get use to the look. But now, like you said, it's just simple and I think elegant. No distraction and I like that

Thanks! I think this one is a keeper, I feel like I can just look at the cup and it's going to drop! Now if that really happens then that's just more icing on the cake

    • Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
