Scotty Cameron Low Replacement Weight Ramifications?

[FSUgolfer]

I have a Scotty Cameron champions choice Newport 2 and special select Newport 2. I use the SS NP2 as a 90% identical backup. 
 

I took out the weights on the SS NP2 and really loved the stroke feeling it gave me. I occasionally have problems with short putts and want to see if going light will help my fluidity and motion inside 7 feet. 
 

I have seen the head on the SS NP2 is 282 grams. I was thinking about going to 312 as an experiment. I also read that the weights improve forgiveness via MOI (?). Would I lose a notable amount of forgiveness and consistency if I go from two 30g to two 15g weights?

Going lighter may mean your path of the putter head may feel unstable,especially on the back stroke,  but it can free the stroke up. The moi of the putter may be reduced but it only really matters on off centre hits, so strike that putt on the SweetSpot every time!
 

seriously just experiment, you will find what works for yourself and your preferences.

I am the least technical person on WRX when it comes to putting - period.

Don't care what my putter head weighs, toe hang ? do not care. As long as its a 35 in Scotty Cameron Newport Two we are good to go. I don't have a line on the ball, don't spend all day obsessing over my line either. I do know a lighter feel free's up my stroke and I make a lot of putts.

Change the 30's to 15's, it works for me, might for you.

I’m down to 5’s in my Select NP2. I don’t know what the head weighs,  but overall it’s 509g at 34” with a PP58.
