In short
The Scotty Cameron Select Newport 3 (2018) is a blade putter suited to players with an arcing stroke. It has full toe hang.
The Select Newport 3 is Scotty Cameron's 2018 answer for players who want a classic blade with a touch more real estate behind the ball. It sits in the same family as the Newport and Newport 2, but the head is a hair larger and softer in the corners, which makes it easier to frame the ball at address without turning into a mallet. This is a putter for someone who trusts a blade and doesn't want a lot of technology getting in the way.
The 2018 Select line was milled from 303 stainless steel and paired with a sole insert of aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum. That two-material build lets Cameron move weight to the perimeter and heel-toe, which firms up the roll and takes some of the harshness out of impact. It still feels like a firm Cameron blade, just a little more settled through the ball than the older models.
With full toe hang and a slant neck, the Newport 3 wants to be swung, not held square. If your stroke arcs open on the way back and closes through impact, this head rotates the way you already move. Give it to a straight-back-straight-through putter and it will fight them the whole way.
The head is a rounded-heel blade, slightly fuller than a Newport 2, with a single sight line milled into the top flange and no other alignment help. The slant neck produces the full toe hang, so gravity pulls the toe down when you balance the shaft on a finger. Cameron's sole weighting sits under the aluminum insert, which is where the softer, more stable feel comes from without adding a face insert. Cosmetics are pure Cameron restraint. Cool gray finish, a small dose of red and blue paintfill, and clean milling on the face for a consistent roll. Nothing about it is loud, and that is the point. It looks like a tool a tour player would put in the bag, because it basically is one.
Scotty Cameron putters are CNC milled from a single block of steel in Carlsbad, California. The attention to detail in weight distribution, sole geometry, and face milling creates a feel that's considered the benchmark in professional golf.
