Scotty Cameron Select Newport Putter

Blade Putter

The Select Newport is Scotty Cameron's take on the traditional blade, and 2019 is the version that leaned into a slightly softer feel without giving up the crisp response Cameron putters are known for. It's milled from 303 stainless steel in Cameron's Southern California shop, and it carries the compact head that Newport loyalists have chased since Cameron first put his name on a putter. If you already know you swing the putter on an arc, this one was built for your stroke.

The full toe hang is the headline spec here. When you set this putter flat on a table, the toe drops straight down, which tells you the face wants to open on the backswing and close through impact. That's not a flaw, it's a design decision. Players who let the putter release naturally will find this thing tracks with their hands instead of fighting them. Players who hold the face square with a straight-back-straight-through motion will struggle to keep it online.

There's no fancy alignment aid, no big sight line stamped across the crown. You get a clean topline and the shape of the head itself. Some golfers hate that. Plenty of others, especially better players who trust their eyes, prefer the uncluttered look because it doesn't tell them a lie about where the face is pointed.

Design

The Newport head is a heel-toe weighted blade, more compact than the Newport 2 and with a smaller flange behind the face. Cameron uses customizable sole weights so the putter can be tuned to your length and the feel you want, and the milled 303 stainless face gives a firmer, more responsive strike than a face-insert putter. The single-bend or slant neck arrangement is what produces that full toe hang, positioning the shaft so the face rotates through the stroke. Aesthetically it's restrained. A satin-style finish that cuts glare, minimal stamping, and the kind of proportions that look right behind a golf ball at address. This is a putter that trusts you to aim it, which is exactly the point for the player it's aimed at.

Who It's For

• You have a noticeable arc in your putting stroke and let the putter release rather than holding it square through impact.
• You prefer a compact blade head and a clean topline over a mallet with heavy alignment lines.
• You want the firm, milled feedback of stainless steel and can read the difference between a center strike and a miss.
• You're a mid-to-low handicap player who trusts your setup and doesn't need a training-wheel sight line to aim.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stroke type does the Select Newport 2019 suit best?

A strong arc stroke. The full toe hang means the face naturally opens and closes as you swing, so players whose putter rotates around their body will square it up more consistently than they would with a face-balanced mallet. If your stroke is dead straight back and through, a face-balanced putter will serve you better.

How is the Newport different from the Newport 2?

The Newport is the more compact of the two, with a smaller flange behind the face and a slightly more traditional blade profile. The Newport 2 is a touch larger with more of a flange and often reads a bit more forgiving to the eye. Both share the same milled face and toe-hang character, so the choice comes down to head size and how the shape sits behind the ball for you.

Does the Select Newport have an alignment line?

No. This version keeps a clean topline with no bold sight line across the crown. You aim it using the shape of the head and the leading edge. Better players tend to like that because a busy alignment aid can point them somewhere the face isn't actually aimed.

What is the face made of and how does it feel?

It's milled from 303 stainless steel, so there's no soft insert. The feel is firm and responsive, with clear feedback on where you struck the ball. On fast greens that firmness helps you meter distance, though players who love a soft, muted roll may find it a little clicky compared to an insert putter.

Can the Select Newport 2019 be adjusted or weighted?

Yes. It uses customizable sole weights, so a fitter can match the head weight to your putter length and the feel you're after. That matters more than people think, since a properly weighted putter helps you control tempo and pace instead of steering the stroke.
