Though I’ve gotta bunch, including a few T’s/customs with both insert and w/out, this is my All-Timer, one of 99 produced.
The feel is sublime

That's a putter I could game right there!
Thanks Bro, it’s a sweet stick and I really think that his best work was his earlier stuff and some of his Mizzy putters like the “Reason.”
Stay well🍻

No inserts. Ever.
I don't think Scotty has put out a production putter that has felt/sound GREAT since the first California line...light milling on stainless is perfect. Deep milling is muddy/muted. Inserts feel/sound dead to me.
The 2012/14 line has great feel.
I stand by it...muddy/muted sound and feel on deep milled putters. If you're into soft sound/feel, 2012/14 are awesome...and they're great looking putters, to boot! But, for me...I like the firmer responds from light milling on stainless or carbon.
Agreed on this. Initially I like the soft feel but it ends up feeling muddy to me, that’s a good way to put it. I have a 2011 Select that has lights milling, and the only other putter I can say might edge it is my Mil Spec. The carbon isn’t necessarily softer but it has a different feel, almost more solid to me.
I’m with almost everybody. Have a studio stainless and it’s awesome. Had a new Laguna and it felt earful. I would love to see a new solid putter that wasn’t a gallery one that cost thousands

Studio stainless is another great one, I think those were weighted by length which is nice if you can find the one that fits what you like. Love the new sole weights for if you ever need to change length. I wish the older TEI3’s were heavier than 330, as it would be sweet to get one that I would actually feel comfortable putting with.
I have a modified Detour Newport 2 with a custom copper insert by Peter Jans and a Studio Style with a GSS insert. I would say both feel just as good as my Newport Mil-Spec and ahead of my 2012 deep milled Newport 2.
