Scotty Cameron Teryllium T22 Newport 2 Putter

Blade Putter

The Teryllium T22 Newport 2 takes the most familiar shape in putting and swaps out the one thing you'd never think to touch. Instead of a solid milled stainless face, Scotty Cameron drops in a Teryllium insert, a copper-based metal that traces back to the German Import and Tel3 putters he was building in the late 90s. It's a nostalgia play with real function behind it. The insert softens impact feel without turning the putter into a mushy insert-style mallet.

This is a blade for players who already know they like a Newport 2 and want a different sound off the face. The head shape is unchanged: compact, slightly rounded, plumber's neck, minimal offset. What changes is the strike. Roll a ball with this and you get a rounder, quieter thock instead of the crisp click of a fully milled GSS or stainless face. Some golfers chase that their whole lives. Others don't notice it. You'll know which camp you're in within about ten putts.

With full toe hang, the T22 is built for a stroke that opens and closes on an arc. It's not a face-balanced putter pretending to be forgiving. Point it at an arc and it rewards you. Try to push a straight-back-straight-through stroke through it and you'll fight the head the whole way.

Design

The Teryllium insert is the whole story here. It's a three-metal recipe, and it sits in a milled pocket in the face rather than being a separate faceplate you'd see on a cheaper insert putter. That construction keeps the head feeling like one solid piece at address while changing what your hands feel at impact. Off-center hits feel a touch more uniform than they do on bare milled stainless, though this is still a small blade, so genuine mishits still tell you about it. Everything else is classic Newport 2. Full toe hang comes from the plumber's neck and the balance of the head, so the toe hangs down when you balance the shaft on a finger. There's no sightline or dot on the flange, just a clean topline you aim with the leading edge and the shape of the head. If you're someone who wants a line to frame the ball, the absence of one will bother you. If you aim by feel and trust the shape, it gets out of your way.

Who It's For

• You play an arced stroke and want a putter that matches it instead of resisting it.
• The soft, muted feel of a copper-based insert appeals to you more than the sharp click of milled stainless.
• You already trust the Newport 2 shape and aim without needing a sightline on the flange.
• Fast, firm greens are your home course, where the added feedback from a softer face helps you meter speed.
• You want a piece of Scotty Cameron history that still performs, not a wall hanger.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Teryllium insert actually made of and why does it matter?

It's a copper-based multi-metal insert, the same idea Scotty used on his Tel3 and German Import putters years ago. Copper is softer than the stainless most modern Camerons are milled from, so impact feels muted and rounder. It doesn't add distance, it changes feel and sound. Golfers who love it usually say it gives them better touch on lag putts.

Is full toe hang right for my stroke?

Full toe hang suits a stroke with a noticeable arc, where the face opens on the way back and closes through impact. If you have a straighter, more mechanical stroke, a face-balanced or half-toe-hang putter will feel more natural. Balance the shaft on your finger. This one hangs the toe straight down, which tells you it wants that arc.

Does the lack of an alignment aid make it hard to aim?

It depends how you aim. There's no line or dot on the flange, so you're aiming with the leading edge and the shape of the head. Players who aim by feel love the clean look. If you rely on a sightline to square the face, you'll want to test it before committing, because you can't add what isn't there.

How does the Teryllium T22 compare to a standard milled Newport 2?

Same shape, same toe hang, same look at address. The difference is the face. A standard milled Newport 2 gives you a firmer, crisper feel and sound. The T22's insert makes impact softer and quieter. Neither rolls the ball better on its own. It comes down to which feedback helps you control speed.

Is this putter better suited to fast or slow greens?

The softer insert tends to shine on faster, firmer greens where feel and speed control matter most, since the muted impact gives you a clearer sense of how hard you hit it. On slow, grainy greens some players prefer a firmer face that feels like it's putting more energy into the ball. Both work, but the T22 leans toward players who value touch.
