I've just built up a 2014 Newport Two into a 40" Dual Balance flat stick. I replaced the stock grip and shaft with a Translucent Red Shaft that matched the stock paint fill well. I dropped 80g in the butt end and added two 40g Cherry Bomb weights in the head. I used the 17" Winn 128g Pistol grip. Played 27 last Friday and was very please with smoothness and consistency the c/b weight created. Note: I am 6'6" and usual playing a 37.5" putter. Your videos are great and I hope you continue to post more Scotty!
Hello and thanks for checking out my video. I'll do my best to answer your question. In the old days, before Scotty offered putters with adjustable weights, he had only a few models that came in lengths besides the stock 35". On the shorter putters, he typically added 10g of weight for each inch of shaft that was removed. Using this logic, the answer to your question is "yes".
Hello, sorry for the delay in responding to your comments. I don't have any personal experience with aftermarket weights. However, it is my understanding that if the threads are not machined properly, they can potentially ruin the mating threads in your putter, so if you buy aftermarket weights, I would suggest installing them very gently to ensure that they are threading properly. Good luck!
I am sorry if you answered this. But why is there different weights in a 34 and 35? I took a putting lesson and the instructor wanted me to go lower with my hands to get my arms extended. He claimed the average length of a putter on tour is 33. And said most people putting with way too long of a putter. I cut an old (non scotty) putter down and it was 32. If I cut a Scotty down to 32 or 33 what do i need to do weight wise? Or is it really more of a feel thing?
I hope you dropped that instructor like a sack of potatoes. He's not necessarily wrong about getting your arms extended if that's what makes putts for you. I'm 5'7" and Play a 34.75 or 35-inch putter so my arms are not fully extended. I make more putts that way. What your instructor was highly misinformed about is the actual length of Putters on tour! I will bet my house & my first born that PGA Tour putter's average length is 34.5 to 35. For the past year I've looked on golf WRX forums at every single players bag specs by direct pictures posted weekly. my favorite players I could tell you by heart what length of putter they use shaft, driver, wedges, etcetera. In doing so, only about 5% of the time do I see a tour pro with a putter shorter than 34 in. I think your instructor Googled this and saw where the first answer said the tour average was 33.5". It is not! not even close. If you keep scrolling you'll see the forums where gentlemen know what they're talkin about speak on this topic as well as some who even work with the pros. Just like I would have thought, they say the average is closer to 35 or 34.5 Many tour players play putters longer than 35 for example Dustin Johnson, Tiger Woods and many others. In the early 2000s there was a very big Trend into really short Putters like 31 and 32 in but as the years have progressed that trend has gone away and Putters have gotten back to their normal length and heavier. Remember in the 60s 70s 80s 90s it was hard to find any putter shorter than 35 in with All Ping Anser & Anser 2 being offered only in 35 or 36. Sometimes even 36.5
That being said, in my opinion putting is all about feel. I would suggest that you cut the putter to the length that you are comfortable playing and give it a try. If you feel that the head is light, you can always change the weights then. If not, you've just saved yourself some money on weights and a weight wrench. Hope this helps!
...liked the finish and the deep milling. Now I'm playing 34" at 350g because I like the feel of the extra weight with the softness of the deep milling. I'm not sure this is making sense, but my point is try it for the feel and don't get too hung up on the specs. If you don't like the feel, then definitely change the weights, but don't let what the specs "should" be override how the putter feels. Let me know how it turns out!
I did a phone interview with Mr. Cameron back in 2001. Very nice man to take the time out to talk with me. He stated that Tiger's putter was D1, 35" @ 315 grams. I am not sure how that has changed over the years but it was interesting. I grew up playing a Ping Anser at D1 and have always wondered what it would be like to putt with a Cameron at D1. My button back is much heavier even though I had the weights changed to 5g each.
According to Scotty Cameron during an interview in 2001, Tiger's putter had a swingweight of D1 @ 35" and a headweight of 315 grams." - This was just after the greatest player of all time had the greatest season (2000) of all time! - Tiger is also considered one of the greatest putters of all time. In addition, Ben Crenshaw, Brad Faxon and Loren Roberts all used putters with similar specs! - Hmmm...???
...a heavier head weight. Prior to getting this putter, what putter are you playing and at what length and weight? When I got my first one in 2003, I left it at 35" after hearing all the swing weight mumbo jumbo. It never felt right to me because the proper length for my stroke is 34". I almost got rid of it because it didn't feel right. I finally said to heck with swing weight and cut it to 34". It was fine and I played a 34" 330g Scotty for 9 years. I switched to a Select in 2012 because I..
Ok please explain this to me. At 2:49, you put a new select putter head on the scale and it weighs 0.332g. Then you place two 20g weights on the scale and it reads 0.350g. Shouldn't it read 370g? Or did you actually only place 10g weights on and just misspeak? I really hope I'm not crazy!
Hi Ken, great question. It took me a minute to figure it out, but yes I misspoke calling the two 10g weights 20g weights. If you watch at around 1:45 I correctly call the two red painted weights 10g weights. Later in the video I grab the same two weights and call them 20's. Congrats on catching this, as the video has been up for over four years. I should really come up with some sort of prize for this! Thanks again for taking the time to watch and comment! Bill
Hey there! I was wondering what happens when a golfer distributes weight differently on the putter. For example, on one of your Scotty Camerons, what if you only put in one of the weights on the heel of your putter vs just one on the toe of your putter. Thanks for the video!
Hi Brian, great question. Check out my latest video on Toe Flow. Near the end I mess around with adding more weight to the toe of a Newport to see what will happen. Hope this helps!
Hi Thomas, Great question. The Custom Shop is correct in stating that they can change the weights for you. However, you can also do it yourself using the weight and tool set from scottycameron.com. There are advantages to both. If you want weights with special engraving of the Custom Shop trademarks like Jackpot Johnny, Cash is King, CS Crown Logo, etc, then the Custom Shop is the way to go. You will pay a little more for the weights, but since you are only buying one set of weights instead of the weight and wrench set, it will end up being cheaper. There are also a lot of other cool things you can have done to your putter while it is at the CS. The downside of the CS is exactly what you stated: the turn around time. If you go the route of the weight kit, you will not be without your putter and you will also be able to try out a few different options in your putter if you're not sure what head weight you want to play. You can also probably sell the weights that you don't use and make some of your investment back. Changing the weights in your putter head will definitely change the balance of your putter, but I don't think this is as big of a deal as it used to be. Especially considering all of the different grip weights and putter head weights that are in the market today. I think it is a more a matter of personal preference and feel. Bottom line: don't let what you "should" be playing affect what feels right. Hope this helps! Best Regards, Bill
Hi Tate, In theory you are correct. You would need to add a total of 40g to the current weight of the putter. I believe the base head weight with no weights in it is 330g, but I have never owned or weighed a GoLo3. My guess is that it has 10g weights in it bringing the total weight to 350g, but correct me if I'm wrong. This would mean upgrading to 30g weights to add a total of 40g to the head. This is mathematically correct, but it may feel a bit heavy. Back in the old days (early 2000's) all Scotty OTR's (except for a select few) had 330g heads. I was hung up on the whole length/weight thing for a while, but then I decided to cut the putter down to the length that was right for me and not worry about the weight. In my opinion it is more about feel than about being mathematically correct. I would start by cutting the length down and then just see how it feels. You might be perfectly happy with it at its current weight. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions. Best Regards, Bill
i have some questions for you if you have the time, the weights for all scotty putters (since 2008) are adjustable if i am right? but wich weights fits to wich putter is it all the same, i have just bought new weights on ebay, and im wondering if im gonna have to send them back would be really nice to know wich weeights that fits to wich putter
It shouldn't be. Remember that your putter is already playing 10g to 20g heavier in the head than an old school 35" Scotty. A silver Select head with two 10g weights is 340g and a black select with two 10's is 350g. In the old days, that would have been perfect for a 34" and 33" shaft respectively. Nowadays I think it is more a question of feel than of having the proper swing weight. A lot of guys are dropping two 30g weights in their Scotty's regardless of the length just because they prefer..
I have been deciding on if I should cut down my scotty Cameron golo mid putter to 34". If the putter has the stock 10 gram weights and is cut down would to recommend counter balancing the club? I read that the head weight seemed fine but the shaft weight seemed off, thanks
Why did Scotty go heavier? Heavier heads may promote a smoother stroke, but this would mean loss of distance control. I had the same Monterey putter with 20g weights (370g total) and my distance control on the greens was terrible, especially for fast greens. I find that I putt far better with a lighter putter than heavy one for fast greens.
Hi Bill and thanks for the video. I recently purchased a SC Golo 5 34" putter that came with 2 / 15 g weights. I want to replace them with 2 / 20 g weights and when I called the Custom Shop at SC, they recommended that I send the putter to them to replace the weights and it would take 10-15 business days to get my putter back. If I wanted to replace them myself, do I order the weights and tool set from SC, would the new weights change the balance of the putter and where can I get the weight tool? Please advise.
Thanks for the video. Can you tell me if weights are interchangeable between the 2009 Newport 2, and the 2014 Newport 2? (i.e. Do they use the same "key" tool pattern outside, and do they have the same thread inside?)
Hi Bill. Your videos have been a great resource for me. Thank you. Do you know if the weights from a 2011 Studio Select Newport will fit inside of a 2014 Select Newport?
+Jess Feidt Hi Jess, Great question. There are two distinct weight types for Scotty's OTR putters that look the same when they are in the putter, but when you take them out you can see that they are very different. The ones that are different are the ones in Squareback and Fastback putters. You can search them on EBay to see what I mean. The ones in GoLos, blade putters and large mallets like Futura and Kombi are all the same and interchangeable no matter what year they were produced. The same can be said for the FB/SB weights, but they are only interchangeable between FB/SB putters from year to year. Hope this helps! Best Regards, Bill
Hello and thanks for your question. I honestly don't know if there is a limit on the weight of a putter. I know with the Dual Balance models they can get pretty heavy, not to mention the ones that stand up on their own (S7K and others). Sorry I don't have a better answer for you.
Bill, thanks for the video, very interesting. I currently have a couple Scotty's, a 34" 2002 Newport Studio Stainless, and a 34" 2014 GoLo 3. I would like to cut 4 inches off the shaft but going to put my Newport on the chopping block first. From your video I assume the weight of the club head is 340g. So, for the club head to have the correct weight at 30 inches I would need to add 40g, correct? Since the club head doesn't have removable weights I plan on throwing some lead tape on there. Not ideal but not sure if there are any other options. If I like the setup I'll chop the GoLo as well. In order for that club to have the correct weight for 30 inch shaft I would need ~70g of weight? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Do you have any suggestions on how to remove the weights? I purchased the tool, the extra weights but cannot remove the existing weights. I cannot produce enough torque to get them loose. Any suggestions?
@@wheard7134 all excellent suggestions! I'm very familiar with Loctite threadlocker from manufacturing custom knives with screws and thumb studs and I can tell you all this advice is exactly what I would advise my client to do. The boiling water would be Last Resort but I've used it before and it most definitely works well you actually don't have to get the water quite to a full boil
Thanks for this informative video. I removed the 15g weights of my Cali Sonoma 2012 and found that one is around 13g and the other around 17g. Both together are 30g. Any idea why?
Hello and thanks for your question. I have noticed the same thing with weights in the past. I contacted the Custom Shop and was told that weights can vary up to 2 grams heavier or lighter than the listed weight. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Hello and thanks for your question. I have not personally weighed the head of a Golo putter, but my understanding is that they follow the same weighting as the rest of the line which is a base weight of 330g plus whatever weights you have installed. In your case you should be at 350 grams. let me know if you have any further questions.
I have a Futura X5 and wanted to change it to a dual balance putter. I have read that the DB heads are 50 grams heavier than the regular X5. Which weights do I need to make it the weight of a DB putter?
Hello and thanks for your question. The heaviest legit Cameron weights you can get are 30g each and are copper in color because they are made of copper tungsten. Your base X5 headweight is 320g so this would make the head weigh 380g. SC.com doesn't really tell us the head weight of a DB putter, it just says that it is 50g heavier than the base weight and it has two 15g sole weights in it, this would imply that the head weighs 320 + 50 + 30 (400g) which is not achievable by simply changing out the sole weights of a standard putter. The next step is getting a shaft that is 3" longer than what you currently play and installing a DB grip. The one missing component that cannot be achieved without involving the Custom Shop is the shaft weight. Just purchasing the grip does not give you the counterweight that you need for a true DB putter. The Custom Shop can do this for you for a slight upcharge. It all depends on whether you want to give it a try yourself or if you would rather just send it to the CS and have them do it for you. I don't think that there is one perfect setup for DB, but rather that it is subjective based on your own feel. With this in mind, you could grab a shaft extension and a DB grip for pretty cheap and start experimenting with what feels good to you. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Hello and thanks for your question. The Studio Stainless Newport 2.5 should be a 330g head. I believe that Scotty made some Newport 2's at shorter lengths with corresponding heavier weights (33" 350g, 34" 340g) but that should have been limited to the Newport 2's and not the 2.5's. In any case, before he added adjustable weights to his putters, he typically engraved the weight on putter heads that were more or less than 330g. So if you had one of those Newport 2's, it would say on the sole 34" 340g for example. Let me know if you have any further questions.
The extra 6 grams is not epoxy. It is the weight variance in the milling. Some putters weigh more and some weigh less than the 330 gram standard due to milling variations.
I've just built up a 2014 Newport Two into a 40" Dual Balance flat stick. I replaced the stock grip and shaft with a Translucent Red Shaft that matched the stock paint fill well.
I dropped 80g in the butt end and added two 40g Cherry Bomb weights in the head. I used the 17" Winn 128g Pistol grip.
Played 27 last Friday and was very please with smoothness and consistency the c/b weight created. Note: I am 6'6" and usual playing a 37.5" putter.
Your videos are great and I hope you continue to post more Scotty!

do you have a new fastback or sonoma for sale?
Bill,
I'm looking at a Scotty Cameron Select mid S putter (dark finish) can you tell me the head weight with or without 10gm weights?
Thanks
Madd
Do you have any suggestions on how to remove the weights? I purchased the tool, the extra weights but cannot remove the existing weights. I cannot produce enough torque to get them loose. Any suggestions?
@@wheard7134 all excellent suggestions! I'm very familiar with Loctite threadlocker from manufacturing custom knives with screws and thumb studs and I can tell you all this advice is exactly what I would advise my client to do. The boiling water would be Last Resort but I've used it before and it most definitely works well you actually don't have to get the water quite to a full boil
Thanks for this informative video.
I removed the 15g weights of my Cali Sonoma 2012 and found that one is around 13g and the other around 17g. Both together are 30g. Any idea why?
Hello and thanks for your question. I have noticed the same thing with weights in the past. I contacted the Custom Shop and was told that weights can vary up to 2 grams heavier or lighter than the listed weight. Let me know if you have any further questions.
What does the Roundback head weigh?
What is the head weight of a 2013 Select Golo 5? I have the standard 10 gram weights in right now.
Hello and thanks for your question. I have not personally weighed the head of a Golo putter, but my understanding is that they follow the same weighting as the rest of the line which is a base weight of 330g plus whatever weights you have installed. In your case you should be at 350 grams. let me know if you have any further questions.
I have a Futura X5 and wanted to change it to a dual balance putter. I have read that the DB heads are 50 grams heavier than the regular X5. Which weights do I need to make it the weight of a DB putter?
Hello and thanks for your question. The heaviest legit Cameron weights you can get are 30g each and are copper in color because they are made of copper tungsten. Your base X5 headweight is 320g so this would make the head weigh 380g. SC.com doesn't really tell us the head weight of a DB putter, it just says that it is 50g heavier than the base weight and it has two 15g sole weights in it, this would imply that the head weighs 320 + 50 + 30 (400g) which is not achievable by simply changing out the sole weights of a standard putter. The next step is getting a shaft that is 3" longer than what you currently play and installing a DB grip. The one missing component that cannot be achieved without involving the Custom Shop is the shaft weight. Just purchasing the grip does not give you the counterweight that you need for a true DB putter. The Custom Shop can do this for you for a slight upcharge. It all depends on whether you want to give it a try yourself or if you would rather just send it to the CS and have them do it for you. I don't think that there is one perfect setup for DB, but rather that it is subjective based on your own feel. With this in mind, you could grab a shaft extension and a DB grip for pretty cheap and start experimenting with what feels good to you. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Hi, do happen to know the head weight of the Scotty Studio Stainless Newport 2.5? Thanks
Hello and thanks for your question. The Studio Stainless Newport 2.5 should be a 330g head. I believe that Scotty made some Newport 2's at shorter lengths with corresponding heavier weights (33" 350g, 34" 340g) but that should have been limited to the Newport 2's and not the 2.5's. In any case, before he added adjustable weights to his putters, he typically engraved the weight on putter heads that were more or less than 330g. So if you had one of those Newport 2's, it would say on the sole 34" 340g for example. Let me know if you have any further questions.
I NEED THE SCOTTY CAMERON BOGEY MONSTER HEADCOVER YOU SELLING IT ON EBAY?
The extra 6 grams is not epoxy. It is the weight variance in the milling. Some putters weigh more and some weigh less than the 330 gram standard due to milling variations.
6 grams of extra epoxy, lol.
