Scotty Camera Select Newport 2 Notchback

Design & Appearance This putter stands out with an angular, modern blade shape — less rounded than traditional classic blades, giving it a more mechanical, performance-oriented look. One of its signature touches is the notched flange (hence “Notchback”) at the heel and toe of the head, which provides a distinctive alignment cue and visual character. The face features a 6061 aircraft-grade aluminium inlay, bonded into a 303 stainless steel body. This combination allows weight to be shifted to the perimeter, improving stability and moment-of-inertia (MOI). Finish and detailing: The head typically has a refined bead-blast stainless finish (in the Select line) that offers a glare-resistant, premium look. From the address position, it presents a clean topline and the single flange sight line beneath — minimal but purposeful alignment cues. --- Construction & Technology Materials: The body is milled from 303 stainless steel. The inlay is 6061 aluminium, which is lighter, letting more mass be pushed outwards for stability. Weighting: Heel-to-toe weighting is tuned to the shaft length, helping balance and forgiveness. Vibration dampening: There’s a damping layer connecting the face-inlay and body, designed todeliver a solid, soft feel at impact. Loft & lie: Stock spec is ~3.5° loft, 70° lie. Shaft / hosel: Uses a single-bend (flowing) shaft, which complements the shaping and helps the head sit square and with minimal toe-flow (“near minimum” toe hang). --- On-Green Performance & Feel According to reviewers, this putter delivers excellent feel and consistency: Addressing the ball, the head sits very square and solid, instilling confidence. The deep face milling and multi-material build translate into a soft yet solid impact feel. The combination of weight distribution and alignment cues help produce a consistent roll and good distance control — especially useful on quicker greens. Because of the blade size (rather than a large mallet), one reviewer did note that “the compact head design … will highlight any major faults in your stroke.” So it works very well for confident putters; those seeking maximum forgiveness might prefer a larger model. --- Fit & Customization The Select Newport 2 Notchback is available in standard lengths of 33, 34, and 35 inches. Custom lengths and loft/lie tweaks are also offered. Grip: Comes standard with the Matador Midsize grip in the Select line. For players looking for an even more stable setup, there is a “Dual Balance” version of this head (larger counterweight in the grip end / heavier head) to slow and steady the stroke. --- Aesthetics & Appeal Beyond raw performance, this putter has serious visual appeal. One reviewer wrote: > “It’s a beautiful putter that’s weighted brilliantly and sits very square at address.” The lines are clean and purposeful; the notched flange offers something slightly different from the typical Newport shape without straying into overt mallet territory. It blends classic elegance with modern technical cues. If you enjoy a refined, premium look with subtle standout details (not flashy, but very deliberate), this is very much in that category. --- Summary In short: The Scotty Cameron Select Newport 2 Notchback is a high-end blade putter that offers: refined, modern aesthetics with mechanical precision; premium materials and milling that enhance feel, roll, and stability; a blade shape that still offers alignment aids via the notched flange; a build suited for confident putters who prefer classic blade feel with modern tech. If you’re serious about your putting and appreciate craftsmanship and design, this model is a very compelling choice.
