Scotty Cameron Select Newport 2 Notchback Putter Review

Tech:

Precision milled in the USA by Scotty’s team of craftsmen from soft 303 steel to maximise feel and responsiveness. A floating insert and wider notchback help raise MOI which means a higher resistance to twisting when you don’t hit putts from the centre.

Our verdict:

Proof if you need it that that blade putters don’t just suit arcing putting strokes. Scotty’s cleverly come up with a single bend putter shaft which does away with the plumbers neck you usually get on a blade putter. It means you get less toe hang and opens up the Notchback to being much more friendly for less arcing putting strokes. Two of our testers absolutely loved the concept and thought they could immediately slide the Notchback straight into play. As you’d expect feel and roll from the Scotty is fantastic, and a worthwhile addition is the “notch” which helps raise MOI higher than you’d typically find with a blade putter.  

Bottom line:

If you’ve loved the look of blade putter for ages but found you’ve never quite mastered the stroke to get the best out of them the Notchback could be right up your street. Yes it will cost a small fortune but putting’s all about confidence. If you generate half as much confidence as we did with it, you’ll be over the moon.
