Scotty Cameron Old vs. New


Guest wbsmith1

Recommended Posts

What’s the consensus on this, specifically with the new Special Select line? Trying to decide between Special Select Newport and a restored Tei3 Newport. Prioritizing feel here, is it worth the few extra bucks for a classic?

My only putter has been a 2 ball from when I started playing about a year ago but have had some success with my dad’s old anser. And I’ll do whatever I need to to keep it nice.

It's worth the extra few bucks if you make more putts with it and it gives you the confidence you need. Putting is mental so if the older one gives you the edge then what is that worth to you?

Buy a few older pre 2005 and try them.Then try a 2012+ and it seems miss out Insert range and go on to New 2020 range.Seem to be popular and look good!

The Tei3 seems to be an All Time Classic.

I like the feels of the older putters. My 'go-to' gamer that I've played the best with is a 340g Mil-Spec. You really have to test and see what you like. At some point I've owned a 2016 select NP, Newport AOP, T22 NP2, and 350g Circa 62 No 3.

I've pared down my set to the Mil-Spec, Circa 62, and T22. I'm about to post the T22 up for sale since I putt so well with the Mil-Spec and have the Circa 62 to change it up if need be. I dont want/need putters sitting around.

the new ones (last 4-5 years) -- all due respect to scotty -- are trash. no feel, inserts, alumimum vs steel, etc.

 

i would rock an old one-piece-milled carbon or platinum before the ones on the market right now.

The only SS I have had a chance to roll is the Del Mar. I didn't mind the feel. It is about what I expected form a solid milled face. I am partial to the older carbon Scottys though. As others have said, feel is so subjective that a bunch of strangers on an internet forum can not tell you what you will perceive as the best feeling putter.

I feel as if its not necessarily an old v new issue, but more of a model material spec conversation, if you like GSS, studio style, if you like copper tei3, if you like a firmer feel from a one piece, the special select should be perfect, some people really like the insert putters from the last couple years, and to each their own, scotty hasn't changed much and can still make any putter he wants to, just like the t22 which is exactly the same if not better than the tel3

Have to agree with jak77 on the mil spec 34” 340g head. Best feeling Cameron I’ve ever rolled and I have an original TeI Newport. I always stop by the putters at PGASS and roll the new putters but none of the new Scotty’s feel good enough to even think about buying and I buy a lot of putters. ?

And the 340’s are hard to find. I think there is one on eBay right now.

The new line works really well with newer balls (unsurprisingly the ProV1). It's been 15 years since i last bought a putter and have a Newport 2.5 on the way.

 

Imho, good Scotty's have never felt too soft or too hard, just .... right.

Buy both! I have 303 stainless Scottys and Teryllium Scottys, and they both have different feels. Both are great too. Just depends on what you like.

Feel is subjective so no one will really be able to tell you what feel you like best. Do you like lighter or heavier putters? Also do you want to oil and take care of the TeI3?

I know it’s super late of a reply lol but which one is lighter? I assumed the tei3. Thanks.

I love my 2020 Studio Select. Even more after a little acetone to the red/gold "mcdonalds" paint fill they chose.

Yours is a Special Select as it clearly says 😂

 

I have the above Studios and have no interest in the Special Select.
