Scotty Recommendations

[churnd]

I currently game a Scotty Cameron Newport 2.5 circa 2012 I think (black with red dots).  It's been a good putter, but lately I've been thinking about getting a mallet style Scotty to alternate between when I'm not feeling the Newport.  Ideally I'd like something softer with a bit of weight to it.  There's so many different models out there & it's hard to demo a lot of them.

 

Ideally I'd like something that feels like it has an insert, that kinda soft.  I realize none of them do now, but some of them have varying degrees of milling, which I know can lead to a softer feel.  I was looking for recommendations on putters to look for that fits this profile.  It doesn't have to be brand new either.  I'm totally fine with picking up a used one in good shape.

 

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Most recent line have a deeper milling and good mallet options. Can look at those.

See if you can find/demo either a used 2018 Futura 5.5M or 7M. These are mallets with enhanced toe flow, closer to your Newport 2.5, than face-balanced. And in 2018 the face insert was dampening pad backed aluminum which feels incredibly soft. 
 

(This assumes you do have an arced swing path that you’re sticking with.  It’s a good starting place, IMHO.)

 

 And because Bettinardi putters are awesome, one bonus recommendation is included, the Inovai 6.0 Slant Neck. Very soft feel.  Worth a roll!

I gamed a Scotty Fastback (2018) - the ones that had the light blueish milled insert - super super soft mallet.
