Thanks!

 

Are they the same size??

 

It seems that the 2 is the preferred model why?

[Jer-Jer]

Yes they are the same size, just the pics.

I believe the newport 2 is slightly larger and more square than a newport

Why is the newport 2 more popular. I've done research on these and it generally seems that more people prefer the look of the 2 and was wondering why that's the case? I know it's personal preference but what is it about the 2 over the 1?

Between the 2 .. Newport feels more bladish, and thinner.. and the balance is more forward and up, a more light feeling.

 

Newport 2 feel more beefy..

 

Highly depends what we like..I have both and I just have better results with Newport.

I personally like the more organic, rounder look of the Newport, but it seems more people like the more angular, industrial look of the Newport II.

 

I don't know why. I can't even tell you why I like the Newport better so I won't try and explain someone else.

I like the boxier look of the Newport 2/Anser 2/Bettinardi BB8/Mizuno Bettinardi C-03 better. Probably because I think it presents a sharper perpendicular contrast to the target line. But, like others have said, it's personal preference. I would bet because Tiger Woods uses the Newport 2 and has for years that a lot of people are influenced by that.

The TW factor is always big in anything.

 

I prefer the softer looks of the Newport myself.

I just took a look at my Newport and NP2. The NP2 is about 1/8" longer then the regular Newport. The widths are identical.

 

Feel wise, I've never been able to see any difference. The only thing is the NP2's bumpers are flat and boxier while the NP is round. I prefer the NP2's because the flat edges and bumpers at the cavity "frame" the ball better for me then the rounded bumpers do on the NP. I've always felt they helped in alignment more too.

 

The NP2 has always garnered more attention because it's the closest thing retail from Cameron you can get that Tiger uses.

I jump between which one i prefer, most of the time i like the look of the Newport over the Newport 2. I just got this newport as a new gamer.

I prefer the Newport 2. I just like the looks of the more angular/sharper design.
