I downloaded the app but don't see where to enter the drawing

 

Just worked for me!

Load the app, on the home page click on "discover" and you should see the draw there, enter your card details and you'll get a mail if you get one

got a 33 which is perfect as I'm swapping the shaft anyways and want the heavier weights

Congrats how did it notify you that you won?

 

Email at around 7 am this morning. Looks like demand wasn't super high on the non-34" models since they went on general sale for at least a brief time this morning as well.

What shaft are you planning to go with?

I have the standard Newport Plus now with the KBS GPS and the Pistolero Plus at about 34.5. Also have the UST All In exact same spec/grip, I keep flipping between them but think the KBS GPS has the edge right now.

 

So quick/easy to pull and swap perhaps too easy so I've flipped a few times but the KBS has been in there for 4 weeks now

[newportbeach]

Puetz golf dropped and sold out immediately. 

[PickItUpGolf]

Got a Newport 2+ Through Golf Town in Canada, they're sold out of all models by the look of it.

[Bigjim1022]

2ndswing has them on their site, $950 though.  I'd like the Newport 2+ but not that bad.

Just picked up my LH 2.5 at my local shop.  Titleist QC is lacking...  The shop was told they were getting 33" (my preference) but what was received was a 34" in a bag with a 33" sticker... (Actual putter is labeled 34").

 

Also, it looks like they're following the weighting of the Super Select line (10/15/20) even though Scotty's page for the CC has the weights at 30/35/40...   My 34" came with the 15s.  Oh well...  Given the limited nature of these, it's not like you can simply return for a different one...

My shop just looked at the 35" Super Select in their stock and told me it's supposed to come with the 10/15/20 weights...  

 

I just called the CS# on Scotty's site and confirmed 10/15/20 are the correct weights for the 2.5+.  They also told me the raw head weight should be 325gr.  He was going to contact their IT to fix their website...

Interesting. 340g is a little light for a 34 in from SC isn't it? I thought they usually targeted around 350g for a 34 in?

 

EDIT: NVM, I'm an idiot and forgot that there are TWO weights.

Until someone actually removes the head and weighs one I wouldn't trust too much of what's out there regarding head weights.

34" has 15gr x 2, so that would be 355gr

Totally correct, I'm an idiot that didn't multiply x2 for two weights.

Pulled my 34" with 15gr weights.  Didn't want to fuss with removing the weights since I don't need exact #s...

[4rheel]

Anyone find these a little "clicky" in feel?

Thanks! So the 35" model would be closer to 350 grams than the 34".

That golf galaxy process wasn’t very straightforward.. luckily I got on in store .. a 35 but will have to do. 

[third-times-a-charm]

These are flooding ebay and the sale forum here. All the flippers trying to make a quick $400 😂

 

Comical.

 

Cant believe people cant resell nike shoes on here but flipping mass produced overpriced putters is okay.

Yep must have been 20%+ more of these made and more undesirable models than the previous champions choice or jetset release. Guessing these are going to be closer to $100 to no profit flips once the dust settles.

Yeah it seems they made WAY more of these in the various head types.

[Davy Crockett]

FWIW, TGW has shipped my order. Just got the email.

does scotty ever release production quantities of these “limited” releases

I’m suspecting they did, but most of not all have already sold out. I picked mine up today and spoke with the staff. They had filled almost all their pre-orders. They put the remaining allocations online this morning and said they sold out in less than 5 minutes. Their other competing stores also sold everything in minutes this morning once it went live online. 
 

Begs to wonder if Titleist/SC will produce more or if this is it until the next CC release cycle down the line. If no more, then these are definitely going to hold their value if not more IMO just like the other limited release SC putters. 

[So_Cal]

These are obscenely ugly and will sell for under MSRP soon.  Mark my words.

not that I’m aware of but followed the last couple big releases with the first champions choice and jetset and this has by far been the easiest to acquire I’ve seen. 

[kcsf]

I'll wait for the next issue:

 

Cameron's Super Champion Select Choice Limited 1st Edition

[andrewykng]

FWIW original champions choice release was limited to 2000 (200 LH). I’d guess at least 4k for this round if not more.

Where do you get that information?

[Glock917]

Just picked my CC newport 2+ and they still had a newport+ and newport 2+ left. Only one per family so I was SOL there unfortunately.

this was my first time putting with a terrylium insert so I cannot judge from previous iterations but compared to the select newport 2 it felt pretty similar maybe a tad softer. My Toulon Seattle is still way softer than it tho FWIW

I read about it at the time when I bought mine but can’t find the source now. It just stuck in my mind as I got the LH version.
