Putters Real Scotty Cameron Select Newport 2 (2016)?

westwardho · January 9, 2021

Another Real/Fake post. Bought this Scotty on ebay (it's being shipped right now) because it was a good price and looked legit enough. Then I noticed that the '1' on the 10g weight looks different than on the Scotty website. Everything else looks good to me, looks pretty heavily used too. Seller is responsive I just didn't want to bother them unless I had a legitimate reason.

So does this seem legit or am I missing something? I see some other pictures of Scotty's with the same red 10g weights but it's just different than the official website so I wasn't sure.

Thanks for any input.

Head seems fine to me. The weights could be aftermarket, but I cant tell from the pics. Either way, as long as they fit and are the correct weight, its no different than the "authentic" weights.

Agree, the head and cover look legit.

Putter is legit from these pictures , weights could be aftermarket as stated above.
Im just curious. How does one know to join WRX to ask if their Scotty purchase is real?

Awesome, thanks for the help! Yeah sorry to add yet another Scotty thread lol. I’ve lurked on this site for a while and I honestly didn’t know fakes were an issue til after I bought this putter (very impulsively) and came across these threads while trying to determine the year/model of my purchase, so of course I became suddenly paranoid.

looks legit, whats the length ?

Not sure on weights if legit, but if they look off and putter is a 33, or 34 , could be as simple as owner swapped weights from a 35" for some reason (preference).

35" come with 10gram, 34" 15 gram, 33" 20 gram. So even if the weights look off, doesn't mean they're after market either ,could be from a different year putter possibly with diff. font. Also if it is a 35" could have been a 33 or 34 extended to 35 with 10 g weights added to keep swing weight/feel in line.
