Champions Choice 2023 (*** MERGED ***)

[ayc25]

Heard it's coming in next few weeks... Was able to place an order through my club for a Newport 2.5+ 34 inches

 

Apparently options include Newport 1.5+, Newport 2.5+ in 34 & 35 inches (and maybe more?)

 

Have not seen pictures yet, but have also heard it's some sort of TeI3 version

Any word on the styling?  Please dark with no cherry bombs and minimal branding

They didn’t tell you all the options?   Cool you got one at least.

Being a champions choice and rumors that it’s a Tei3, it’s likely a satin teryllium tei3 modeled after Koepkas

[jacobanderson123]

No newport 2?

Doesn’t he play a NP2 model?  The OP did not mention a NP2 model in this new release.

I’ll be interested if there is a NP2 in the collection.

[BYK]

i dunno who else it would be, but maybe Brooks isn't the chosen champion this time lol?

Seems like all we've heard about is a 1.5+ and 2.5+

It’s gotta be Brooks unless someone wins the Open right?

Yah guess so

but why a 1.5+ and 2.5+? 

 

he uses a NP2

LOL no idea man.  

[TheMoneyShot]

What other recent champion used a 1.5 or 2.5?  Seems strange to not release a NP2 but will also save me some $ if they don’t.

Can't think of one

 

Cam Smith has that flo neck 009, but that's not really a 1.5+ or 2.5+

must be other models coming out?  That's all we've seem to have heard about so far.

I dunno how people are putting in orders if they don't know all the models?

[JamesG12]

Did your club have to call in an order or did they already know there was some sort of allotment?

[jacincm]

Fingers crossed for a satin finish, minimal paint fill release

He’ll probably just do all + models since he sells a ton of CT Newport and NP2 for$2500-$5,000 already.

That would be weird since none have won men’s majors so far as I know.  More of a marketing play but I understand.  They are nice putters

You bought a club you've never seen for $700?

 

And we wonder why golf club prices are out of control.

I hope I’m wrong on that as I would really like a Newport or newport2. I missed out on the T22 in 2019 and they are a $1,000 + used now. Retail of $700 is a plenty but also a steal if you can beat the flippers to them.

Would be nice to have an idea of styling

Probably purchased with no intention of keeping it. If you know you can flip it for double its purchase price who cares what it looks like.,

I will be keeping it... $700 for a new Teryllium insert putter in NP2.5+ shape was a good deal, no matter what it looks like exactly. Shape and insert type was all the info I needed

[EVandy]

Anyone hear anything else on these yet? I'd imagine it should be any day now?

[jacincm]

Probably august, that’s when most of the special releases are

Nice find!!! Thought this was 2021's version but I see this is the new head. Was hoping it'd be different than the previous models.
