Scotty Cameron Putters
Posted on 4/22/17 at 11:53 pm

I'm in the market for a new Scotty Cameron, and I'm sold on a mallet head. I can obtain this in the new Newport 3 putter. What I want to know is how does the Newport 3 differ from the GoLo 3 putters?
I ask, because wouldn't mind paying a little less for a new... older model putter.
Whatcha know baws?

I hear they are all hand made, but you have to let him sleep with your wife to find the right fit

I'm left handed. Can it be the left fit?

Thanks for the opinion, but I'm trying to find the difference between the Newport 3 and GoLo 3.

All seriousness: yes they are excellent putters
Top notch for a modern putter, but some of the legends did much more with much less. Putting is all mental. Go for what you feel confident striking and balancing.

My sarcasm didn't get picked up there. You said right fit; I'm left handed...

Bettinardi putters > scotty cameron
All Scotty Cameron is, is good marketing.
Go to a golf shop and try a few out for a couple of hours.

It's the same putter per the specs. Discontinued then rebranded with a new look.

The new Newport line might be the best putting products released by Scotty Cameron and Titleist. The feel is great, especially if your primary courses have fast greens.
There are some differences:
- The GoLo3 will have 1/2 inch offset
- Newport 3 is a full shaft offset
- GoLo3 comes with the pistolero grip - which is very nice
- Newport 3 comes with the new style matador grips
- I am not sure about the GoLo3 but with the Newport3 the largest stock weight you can get is 20 gram, which knocks you out for the copper style weights
- I believe the Newport3 has a few more custom build options
- neither come in left had models
- both putters look great at address
my only counsel - purchase from a pro - there are so many fakes and frauds on ebay, etc. pay a little more and know you are getting an original....and wont be disappointed when you send the putter in for customization work
edit - just checked the SC custom page - you can order up to 30g weights for both putters - which is a very nice option.
During my research I used the custom page a good bit to research different models - Cameron's Custom Page
go and try every model and brand putter you can - I play with a guy that shoots in the low 70s every round and uses a Matzie Velvet Touch Putter - just depends on what you like

The putter that everyone in the industry claims is the best is no good if you don't like how it feels when you use it.
I get my best results from an old blade putter. Just feels right.

Seriously, like someone else said go try putters until you find whatever you like best. Scotty's are good putters, but don't drop $350 on it just because it's a Scotty. I know quite a few very accomplished golfers (college and pro guys) that used to use them and have started using other stuff. One uses a Wilson blade from the late 80's.

I've got a question about Scotty putters.
If I took the grip off of the one I have, and put a paddle on it, would that ruin the putter? I don't plan on selling it, but I went back to an old Versa I have with a paddle on it, and I like that grip better.
This is the one I have,

I know it's not what you asked but try a Rife putter before you purchase. I won one as a door prize at an AU alumni golf tourny a few years ago and I don't think I will ever take it out of my bag. I had never heard of or tried a Rife before but I absolutely love it

Net, how old is it? It looks to be not that old so I f you want to regrip and use it do it. If you did end up selling it it would probably be to someone that wants to put in play so I new grip won't hurt anything. If you're talking about something with any kind of collecter value I wouldn't change it if you want to keep the value.

Three years old, or so.
It would ruin the counter balance, but that can be fixed with another counter balance grip.
I'll never sell it, so value doesn't matter. Just wondering if it's gonna be f'd with a paddle vs the CB grip it has. I like the weight, but I don't want that thick oversized grip anymore. Worked well when I was trying to get a consistent putting stroke, but you don't need that thing forever imo.

If it feels comfortable, use it. In my opinion, putting is 99% mental. The stroke is really, really simple so it's all about feel and being confident over the ball. Golf is hard, but you could teach someone who's never played a perfect putting stroke in an hour.

Net, Losing the extra 50 grams up top will curve out the stroke more - be careful with that change to the putting stroke.
Otherwise, you should be good to go.
