Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2 Putter

The Studio Style Newport 2 is Scotty Cameron’s take on the classic heel toe blade, milled in the USA with a soft Studio Carbon Steel face insert.

Why it made the list

The Newport 2 is the blade shape most other blades copy. It has a plumbing neck, weight in the heel and toe, and a clean look behind the ball. The Studio Style line, launched in 2025 and still Scotty Cameron’s current blade lineup, adds a milled face insert and new face texture to that shape.

The head is designed and precision milled in the United States from 303 stainless steel. Scotty Cameron gave it a slightly thicker topline that recalls the 2012 Select line, which makes it a little easier to set square at address than a thin blade.

What it does well

• Feels soft thanks to a precision milled Studio Carbon Steel face insert
• Gives consistent feedback through chain-link face milling with fewer touch points at impact
• Balances the head for each length with tungsten sole weights
• Sits flat and steady at address with a tri-sole design

The insert is plated with electroless nickel for durability and pairs with vibration damping built into the design. Scotty Cameron says the chain-link milling softens sound and improves roll.

Who it’s for

It is a good fit for golfers whose stroke has an arc, since the Newport 2 has medium toe flow. It also suits players who value feel, a traditional look and fine craftsmanship. If you want a blade you will keep for years, this is the benchmark.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you have a straight back, straight through stroke or you miss the center often. Blades are the least forgiving head type, and this is the most expensive putter in our guide. A mallet or a zero torque putter will help more golfers make putts for less money.

Key specs, explained

Loft is 3.5 degrees and lie is 70 degrees, with full shaft offset from the I-beam plumbing neck. Medium toe flow means the toe hangs down when the shaft is balanced, which suits a moderate arc. The tungsten sole weights change with length: two 35 gram weights at 33 inches, two 30 gram weights at 34 inches and two 25 gram weights at 35 inches. That keeps the swing feel similar across lengths.

The new Full Contact Slim grip has a chain-link texture and a flat top. The putter comes with a headcover and a custom shaft band, and the red cherry dots are back on the head.

How it compares

The PING Scottsdale Anser 2D Putter is a deeper, more forgiving blade that cost $227 at GolfDiscount today. The Tour Edge Template Maiden Wide Blade Putter is a milled stainless blade for well under $200. Choose the Newport 2 if feel and finish matter most to you and the price does not.

Good to know

Standard lengths are 33, 34 and 35 inches in both hands. Right handed custom builds come in half inch steps, and a fitter can adjust loft by 1 degree and lie by 2 degrees either way. GolfDiscount lists right handed lengths from 32 to 36 inches, but stock changes by length, so check yours before you order.
