Scotty Cameron Newport 2.6 Review
Specs

The Scotty Cameron Newport 2.6 putter from Titleist is a precision-milled, stainless steel, center-shafted putter with clean lines and simple alignment. Lofted at only 4 degrees and available in weights from 340 g to 360 g and 33-, 34- and 35-inch lengths, this putter is designed for smooth, fast greens. The Newport 2.6 has a heavier top line than some studio select putters, giving it the appearance of having more heft. This putter is a pro-level putter with the look, feel and graphics of many putters played on the PGA Tour.

Perks

Precisely and elegantly milled with no misaligned markings or factory blemishes, the Newport 2.6 is just like all Scotty Cameron models. This putter feels heavy and strokes the ball solidly when hit on the sweet spot. The weights inside the putter can be changed by the Cameron custom shop.

Sacrifices

The Scotty Cameron Newport 2.6 is a beautiful, pro-level putter, and as a result, carries a comparable high-end price tag. The Newport 2.6 retails for about $300 as of September 2009. That might be more than many amateurs are willing to part with.

Bottom Line

This is a nearly flawless, top-tier, high-end putter for players who prefer center-shafted looks and geometry. It is a perfect match for the player who is willing to pay for what is virtually a custom-level club.

Golf Equipment Tip of the Day

How to Give Your Golf Clubs a Tuneup
by John D. Tudor
During the course of a year, an avid golfer's clubs are swung anywhere between 18,000 and 20,000 times, carried or hauled on a golf cart for about 3,000 miles, roughly handled another 1,000 times, tossed about the trunk of a car for over 20,000 miles and swung in a variety of less-than-perfect situations involving low-hanging branches, rocks and hardpan. Obviously, the stress and strain a golf club endures goes far beyond that for which it's designed, so now is the perfect time to examine your woods and irons and, if necessary, get them back into playing shape.
