Scotty Cameron Cameron & Crown Newport 2 Putter

Blade Putter

The Cameron & Crown Newport 2 is Scotty Cameron's answer to a question most putter makers ignored for years: what about the golfer who plays a shorter putter? Released in 2016, this line was built specifically for players who use 33-inch or 34-inch shafts, or who play slower greens where a heavier head just doesn't make sense. Scotty took his most famous blade shape and rebuilt the weighting around a lighter overall package, so the balance still feels right when you cut the length down.

The Newport 2 itself needs no introduction. It's the plumber's-neck blade that has won more on tour than any other head shape, and this version keeps that DNA intact. What changes is who it fits. If you've ever cut down a standard Newport 2 and felt like the head wandered or got heavy in your hands, this is the fix. The head and shaft were engineered together for those shorter builds, not adapted after the fact.

This is a full toe hang putter with no alignment aid beyond a single top-line sight dot, which tells you almost everything about the golfer it wants. It rewards a stroke that arcs, and it asks you to aim with your eyes and your setup rather than lean on a big framed cavity. For the right player, that simplicity is the whole point.

Design

The head is milled from 303 stainless steel and carries a soft, satin-style finish with the small crown emblem stamped near the heel that gives the line its name. The plumber's neck creates full toe hang, so the face rotates naturally open-to-closed through the stroke. There's a single sight dot on the topline and nothing else, no lines, no wings, no color. You're meant to frame the ball with the flange and trust your setup. What separates this from a standard Newport 2 is the internal weighting. Scotty tuned the head mass so a 33 or 34-inch build still swings with the right feel and doesn't go dead or whippy the way a shortened standard putter can. The face milling produces the firm, dense feel Cameron blades are known for, and even at the lighter overall weight the roll stays true off the center of the face.

Who It's For

• You play a 33 or 34-inch putter and want a blade that was actually built for that length instead of cut down from standard.
• Your stroke has a clear arc and you want a putter that works with that motion rather than fighting it.
• You aim by feel and setup and don't want or need a large alignment framework distracting you over the ball.
• You favor firm, classic feedback and prefer a compact blade profile that sits quietly behind the ball.
• You play slower or medium-paced greens where a heavy mallet gets too active and hard to control on short putts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Cameron & Crown Newport 2 different from a regular Newport 2?

The main difference is the build length and weighting. The Cameron & Crown line was made for shorter putters, mainly 33 and 34 inches, with the head weight tuned so it still feels balanced at those lengths. A standard Newport 2 is built around 35 inches, and simply cutting one down changes how the head feels. This version solves that by engineering the head and shaft together for the shorter setup.

What kind of stroke suits this putter?

An arced stroke. The plumber's neck gives it full toe hang, meaning the face opens and closes through the putt rather than staying square. If you have a strong arc, this putter matches your natural motion. If your stroke is straight back and straight through, a face-balanced mallet will fit you better.

Does the Newport 2 have an alignment line?

No, just a single sight dot on the topline. There's no sightline or framing feature. You aim using the flange and your setup, which is how classic blade users have always done it. Some golfers love the clean, uncluttered look. Others who rely on a line to aim may find it takes some adjustment.

Is the Cameron & Crown Newport 2 good for slow greens?

Yes, that was part of the idea behind the line. The lighter overall build and shorter length make it easier to control tempo on greens where a heavy head becomes too active. On very fast greens a standard-weight Cameron may suit you better, but for medium and slower speeds this build gives you cleaner control.

Is this putter still worth buying used?

For the right golfer, absolutely. It's a milled 303 stainless Scotty Cameron blade with a proven head shape, and the shorter-length focus makes it hard to find in newer lines. If you play a 33 or 34-inch putter and prefer a toe-hang blade, this is a specific tool that does its job well. Check the face and finish, since these have been out since 2016.
