Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 1.5 Putter
Article by Cheapgolf
Scotty Cameron has pretty much held the same weight/length characteristics with his various Newport lines over the years with few exceptions. For those of us who prefer a little more heft in our putter head and don’t want to use lead tape, the new Studio Select line fits us perfectly. The Studio Selects feature removable weights that let you fine-tune the weight that works best for you.
The new Studio Select putters are precision milled with circular weights in the heel and toe that allow each model to be offered at 33″, 34″ and 35″ lengths. With four Newport based models the new line features two different body styles – the Newport 1.5 and Newport 2 – and three different neck configurations – plumbing, short flair and mid slant.
Among them, the Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 1.5 putter is precision milled with circular weights in the heel and toe. It features a high toe set-up that reduces the tendency for players to raise the toe and aim left of target, and a stepless steel shaft for a clean, unbroken playing position appearance. Tour-inspired cosmetics include three large red dots on the back of the putter, three smaller red dots on the heel of the face, and distinct Studio Select graphics, shaftband and headcover. The model name is engraved into the sole, and the soft 303 stainless material delivers a crisp, solid feel at impact and enhances durability for a timeless style. In addition, the Titleist Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 1.5 can be lie adjusted +/- 2 degrees off of the standard 71 degrees and come with six different grip options.
In addition, the Studio Select line is the result of Scotty Cameron’s Putter research and their drive to create a putter collection with the finest technical performance and incredible overall feel(). The precision milled 303 Stainless Steel Newport putters feature an improved high toe profile and heel and toe circular sole weights that allow for numerous length options in each odel.
The circular heel-toe weights provide amplified stability by reducing head rotation on off-centre impacts for a larger sweet spot. The factory adjustable weights are set to provide the proper headweight-to-shaft length combination. The improved high toe profile of the Studio Select Putters feature a stepless shaft for a clean look and offer a soft but solid feel and are equipped a new Scotty Cameron red cord grip .
I really like the direction that Studio Select Newport 1.5 putter is going with all the customization options you can make to the Studio Select line. Being able to chose a weight/length combination that is the best for your individual putting stroke makes this a must-try when you are out shopping for putters. I found this to be a very solid performer and if you like a blade-style putter, you owe it to yourself to give one a shot.
In the end, I made the switch from my Studio Style primarily due to the extra weight and the cord grip. Those little differences have provided me with a bit more confidence on the green as I finally feel that I have a putter that was made to my specifications.
