Newport vs Newport 2


mcl911

Recommended Posts

When looking at them just as an object, I like the Newport. But when looking at them from address position, I prefer the Newport 2. However... I really don't like that the bumpers on both of those models don't line up to create a straight line from address. His 009 and Timeless line up perfectly though. The Timeless (and Byron's 612) are just about as perfect to my eye from address position as there is on an Anser style head, perfectly straight lines and a very slightly raised toe. Beautiful!

Newport for me as well.

I remember I tried one years ago and I couldn’t buy it, it was one of those single piece milled, no inserts whatsoever. It worked amazingly. I regret not purchasing it. Couple of years later I got a Kingston KP1 GSS instead, simply great.

 

I do have a Monterey (last version) which is like a NP2 with high toe, great putter by the way.

I’ve always been a Newport 2 man, but when my dad picked up the only Newport 2 model available from my pro, I had a go with the Newport. Have to say I’ve fallen in love with the rounded bumpers and slightly shorter blade length. Just suits my eye perfectly and can see this in the bag for many years.

I like the bumpers and shorter blade length of the newport, but LOVE the tri-sole of the newport 2. Play a newport beach because I hate sightline a more than anything, so that trumps the want for a tri-sole

I prefer the less mechanical look of the Newport. Probably because I started with a Ping Anser

Newport with a sight line up top, not on the flange. Murder the whole thing out - grip, shaft, & head with the sight line done in eggshell white. And if I’m being picky, make that Newport a beached 009 with a welded slant neck and some cool hand stamping. Done

Had a little photoshoot with my scotty studio stainless NP2 and Newport beach to show the differences between the two. Both gorgeous!
