All Scotty did was create a milled copy of the ping anser line. Ping cast everything and players wanted a milled copy, so he supplied it. He ability to make perfect milled copies was his skill
These are pretty cool informative videos, so much history with Scotty. I have a mint Pro Platinum Laguna Mid Slant that I don’t think I’ll ever replace. It saved me more 4-jacks than I can count on
@@fergusreeverealestate.7409 iv gone back to the tei3(its a del mar two) i prefer the shape. iv got a few other newports but tend to switch back and forth from the gss insert and the tei3 because they both feel soft, now iv been using them a while i think they feel more similar..
Should talked about him using carbon steel at the start and then went to 303 steel and then using GSS insert then going back to 303 full milled and then aluminum inserts
I have a stainless and becu anser 2 and a 98 newport 2 ( identical to Tigers famous gamer, minus the platinum )/ Obviously, the scotty feels the best and yes, distance control in general is better with the scotty. The biggest difference is the toe hang. The pings are more 40 degree-ish, the scotty, surprisingly is about 25 degrees ( more face balanced ). So yes the shaft, due to the neck position is actually more towards the center. I would be interested to see a video about toe hangs between anser/newports and anser 2/newport 2's
The first select 08 putter is it all clue or blue and black what did you do with the sight line did you leave it white or color it blue or black? I just purchased one and want to paintfill it exactly how you did yours
The *Special Select* Newport is the 2020/2021 Model. *Select* is the actual Name of the Line of Putters, the variation of the *Select* designation determines the Vintage and Evolution of design. *Newport, Newport 2, Newport 2.5, and the other Names* indicate the Head Shape and the Neck (Shaft Attachment to the Head) of the *SELECT* Putters. Scotty now uses the *Phantom* Name for his Mallet Lineup. Each *Phantom* has a Number Designation to differentiate the Different Models.
I have a Pro Platinum Mid Slant I got from a yard sale. What's the average value on them. This one is blue and I haven't been able to find another like it
Hi Liam, Great question. I sent it to the Custom Shop to have it repainted. Repainting is also an easy DIY project if you have the time. You can remove the existing paint with acetone (nail polish remover) and a toothpick. Then just find your favorite color of Testors model paint and you're all set. I think there are some other videos of painting golf clubs on TH-cam. I am by no means an expert. Hope this helps!
I have question about the shaft on my Scotty newport 2. Is it possibel to re-shaft it.?? And who can do it to originality... ?? I live in Denmark in Europe.
No worries, my wife is totally cool with it. However, while she was filming this she was like "what's with all these putters?" Probably should have had one of my kids do the camera work instead.
Amazing Collection! I have a question: If you were to choose 4 scotty Newport putters to start a collection, which ones would they be (most significant) ?
Great question. If I could pick four, here's what they would be: Oilcan Newport (because this was my first Scotty), 2008 Buttonback, Mil Spec in 34/340g (because that's the size I game, 350g is a more popular choice), Classic 1. That being said there are no wrong answers. There are a couple honorable mentions in my collection but only because of their quirkiness. I have a 34/340 Newport Beach and a 34/340 Studio Style Newport, both finds in Japan. Not terribly valuable, but I think they're pretty cool. Good luck on finding your Newports!
@@wheard71 Thanks for your great answer. I have just picked up a Studio Style (so cool) , and will continue to track down the others you mentioned. If you ever come across a Buttonback you want to let go of let me know :)
I have a question. I have a Newport 2.0. If I get it customized with Scotty do you have a range of grip colors to pick from or should I keep the original grip on it?
At least he had the decency to pick up a Ping Anser head to start with (although there is no such thing as a "Ping Anser 1" outside the modern milled line, and the head shown here is a Scottsdale Anser remake from 1996, made 30 years after the original).
So what cameron putter would you recommend to play with, Newport 2 I was looking at. I like that style I just want a putter I will never need to buy another.
Great question. Ideally you should have a pro look at your putter swing and tell you which style fits your stroke best. However, back when I selected a Newport as my putter 20 years ago, I did not do this. Instead I spent an hour or so at the Golf Galaxy putting green trying out several different shapes to see which one looked and felt best to me. Your putter setup - head shape, length, grip - should give you a feeling of confidence at address. Hope this helps!
@@wheard71 thanks, I've never took the time to build my bag instead I add a few clubs to my crappy clubs lol. I will do that, there's a golf galaxy near me in Winston NC. So far I'm going for t100 irons. A few vokey wedges, drivers and woods I'm undecided, I wanna try a few out.
@@wheard71 i went to a golf shop and tried a bunch. I settled on a 2014 black mist select newport w/ black pistolero. And i love it to death its so soft and solid feeling.
Great catch on that, and yes it's very much like a Pistolini. It is the Iomic Standard 65g Putter. It has sharp edges on the flat side of the grip and they make a ton of colors. Last I checked, Golf Shafts America had them on their website and a lot of other places carry them as well.
Great question. Scotty worked for Ray Cook in the late 80's and is credited with designing the Blue Goose putter which was the first mass produced milled putter (meaning it started from a block of steel, not a casting with a milled face). It was inspired by Scotty's appreciation of TP Mills putters. This bit of info came from my copy of The Art of Putters by Bill Vogeney.
I know some Scotty Collectors haven't liked the newer OTR renditions. Do you like the new special select? I'm strongly considering picking one up. Also, go Broncos!
Hello and thanks for your question. There has been some dislike of the insert Selects from the past four years from many in the Cameron community, and we were all waiting for the next non-insert OTR. With the Special Selects we got what we asked for in my opinion. I have had many of them in my possession and have rolled them a lot. I can say that if I wasn't stuck on my tour rat that I have been gaming for the past 8 years, the Special Newport would be in my bag. The movement of the weight makes a big difference and the symmetry of early Newports is finally back. Shameless plug: if you are in the market for a Newport or Newport 2, please check out my website customscottys.com where you can get a competitively priced, brand new, custom shop painted Special Select. I have been out of stock for the past couple months for obvious reasons, but I have a huge order placed and will be back up and running soon!
@@georgekyriazi Great question. The one you see that is less than retail does not include a grip or a headcover. It's a choose your own adventure kind of a deal. If you want to go full Custom Shop with a CS grip and CS cover, you can do that. If you have a non-Scotty grip you like to use, then don't pay extra for a Scotty one to come on your putter just to cut it off and throw it away. Whatever you don't want, I can sell which saves you money. Make sense?
I need help…. If you had to choose between an original tei3, a studio style and a 2020 special select, which Would you go for? Assume that all are the same price and also all are Newport’s, not Newport 2’s. All opinions appreciated!
First off, thanks for watching my video. This is an excellent question. Let me start by saying this is 100% a matter of personal preference. Now I will tell you my personal preference :-). I have been gaming Newports since 2003 when I started in the Cameron hobby. For the past 9 years I've been gaming the deep milled Tour Rat that I show briefly in this video. About a month ago I threw a Special Select Newport in the bag to try it out. I have to say that for some reason I have been putting better with the Special Select Newport. The only thing that makes sense is the change in weighting. The new Specials weigh 283g empty versus 320g empty for my rat. Scotty did this to move more weight (37grams to be exact) to the heel and toe for more stability. This is why a 2018 Select Newport at 350g has two 15g weights in it and a Special at 350g has two 35g weights. I can also say that the Special Select Newport is as close as Scotty has come to the 009 head shape in an OTR (straight shoulders, wide cavity, flat-ish top, tri-sole. I touch on this near the end of the video. All this being said, I cannot fault you for choosing any of these three putters - they are all works of art. Good luck with your purchase!
@@wheard71 Firstly, this is probably the 3rd time I’ve watched your video, so thank you for making it! Which ever one I get, I am going to get it customised. If I get the tei3 or studio style, I may get weights added to the bottom the same as the 2020 Newport has. My local putter specialist can do this at the same time as changing my line up lines, he says he has done this before to other customers with no adverse effects. I do want the slightly heavier feel for sure, not too floaty and light. I know the modern Newport is the simple choice, but I love the idea of creating my own unique, slightly modernised version, of one of the insert classics. What do you think of that? And if you had to choose between tei3 and studio style, which would you go and why? To me the tei3 has a certain wow factor, but the GSS face in the studio style is special too. Thank you for your time sir!
@@wheard71 and with keeping overall weight close to Identical and being able to move an extra 20 grams to both the Heel and Toe, Scotty has increased the MOI, essentially making the *Special Select* more like a Mallet. I have had a 2018 *Select* Newport 2.5, since the Summer of 2018, and it is the first SC Putter that I liked, and I have checked out SCs since they first appeared. All, up to my 2018, felt like I was *Hitting a Rock with a Hammer,* using Balata or Urethane, compared to my 1991 or '92 Bullseye Wide Blade.
Very informative much appreciated. Can you explain the difference between the Newport and Newport 2 in the special select line as i am looking to make a purchase. Thank you
The Newport 2 has a more Squared Off look than the Newport. The Newport 2 has a bit more Toe Flow than the Newport due to having a little more weight towards the Toe. The N and N2 setup identically. For most, it is "the look" that determines choice as they putt virtually Identical.
I would agree, but that being said I don't knock anyone's preference for head shape - except for Adam Scott's - his putters look terrible. Anyway, I'm not trying to sway anyone from a Newport 2 to a Newport, I just happen to have a bunch of Newports and thought it would be fun to show the changes over the years. Newport 2's have had similar model year tweaks over the years, I just am not as familiar with them.
Great question! The black and lime tour rat that you see at 9:50 in the video has been my gamer for the past 7 years. It's not the technology so much as it is look/sound/feel that I'm comfortable giving me confidence standing over a putt. This can be just as true for an OTR as it is for a tour putter. Find what you like and stick with it!
Good question. It looks like Scotty first made the Santa Fe in 1996 in the second year of the "Classics" line, again in 1997 when a Santa Fe joined the Teryllium line, in 1998 there was another Teryllium Santa Fe and an Oil Can version was added. The Oil Can version lasted for two years, but the Teryllium stuck around through 2001. That was the end of the Santa Fe name. Beginning in 2004, this head style was dubbed the Newport 1.5. Check out the putter archive at scottcameron.com for great pics of each of these models (www.scottycameron.com/putter-archive/). The santa fe is a cool old-school putter. A great one to keep in the collection forever, especially if it's a teryllium.
wheard71 thanks for the reply it’s a nice putter but I couldn’t find it anywhere on the website, it’s not a terrylium. Can I send over a few pics & you could tell me what you think?
@@aspears5908 I’m a big Santa Fe fan. Scotty’s first Santa Fe style putter was in his original line of putters. It was called the Classic 1.5 Prototype. I’d liked to see pictures if you still have it.
@@wheard71 I bought my first Scotty in 1999 or maybe 2000. It was a SantaFe Tel3 that my friend that owned a golf shop recommended. Now I'm a putter hoarder, if you ask my wife! And, I still rotate the SantaFe in and out of my bag today, almost 25yrs later. I still LOVE that putter!! I'm about to send her to chisdaddy golf to have her restored to her original beauty.
Hello and thanks for your question. I don't have an old school Tei3 in my collection, but the headshape is exactly the same as the Oilcan Classics and Gun Blue Classics Newports. As for the newer T22's, I had one for a short while but I don't remember the specifics of how it compared to the Selects.
Dude I really want to buy a Scotty NP but the weights are throwing me off. Wouldn’t it be better just to have one solid piece of stainless? I want a heavier head at 35” can I just add heavier weights?
The weights were increased because the 2020 *Specia Select* has a smaller lighter head allowing more Toe and Heel weight, with Keeping the *total Head Weight* the same for Swing Weight uniformity. Try lightening your Grip Pressure rather than increasing the Overall Weight AND Swing Weight.

@@wheard71 I bought my first Scotty in 1999 or maybe 2000. It was a SantaFe Tel3 that my friend that owned a golf shop recommended. Now I'm a putter hoarder, if you ask my wife!
And, I still rotate the SantaFe in and out of my bag today, almost 25yrs later. I still LOVE that putter!!
I'm about to send her to chisdaddy golf to have her restored to her original beauty.
No California editions?
Hello and thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, Scotty has not made a Newport in the California line. If he did I would probably have it 🙂
what about the tei3 where is that.
Hello and thanks for your question. I don't have an old school Tei3 in my collection, but the headshape is exactly the same as the Oilcan Classics and Gun Blue Classics Newports. As for the newer T22's, I had one for a short while but I don't remember the specifics of how it compared to the Selects.
What is the tei3 long neck worth now?
I have the same problem as you, way too many putters 😀
Dude I really want to buy a Scotty NP but the weights are throwing me off. Wouldn’t it be better just to have one solid piece of stainless? I want a heavier head at 35” can I just add heavier weights?
The weights were increased because the 2020 *Specia Select* has a smaller lighter head allowing more Toe and Heel weight, with Keeping the *total Head Weight* the same for Swing Weight uniformity.
Try lightening your Grip Pressure rather than increasing the Overall Weight AND Swing Weight.
