The Main Ranges at a Glance

Newport and Newport 2: The Standard-Bearers
If you picture a Scotty Cameron in your head, it's probably a Newport. This is the classic blade shape that's anchored the entire lineup for decades — a compact head, minimal offset, and a pure, soft feel off a milled face. The Newport 2 adds slightly more heel-toe weighting than the original Newport, giving marginally more forgiveness without changing the fundamental blade character. Both suit golfers with a straight-back-straight-through stroke who want feedback over forgiveness.
Phantom X: More Stability, Same DNA
The Phantom X line moves into mid-mallet territory, with more perimeter weighting than the Newport shapes for higher MOI and more stability on off-centre strikes. It's aimed at golfers with a slight arc to their stroke who still want the classic Scotty Cameron milled feel, just with a larger margin for error than a pure blade offers.
Special Select: The Modern Refinement
Special Select updates classic Newport and Fastback-style shapes with modern tolerances and finishes, while staying close to the original silhouettes. If you want the classic Newport feel but a slightly more contemporary build, this range sits between the original Newport line and the tour-only limited releases you'll see collectors chasing.
Length and Lie: Where Fit Actually Happens
Scotty Cameron putters commonly come in 33"–35" lengths. Before choosing a head shape, check your posture with your current putter — if your eyes sit noticeably inside or outside the ball at address, length and lie angle matter more to your stroke than which Scotty Cameron model you buy.
💡 Buying tip: a Newport at the wrong length will putt worse for you than a Phantom X at the right length. Get fit basics right before falling in love with a specific head shape.
Buying Used: What to Check
- Face milling wear — inspect closely under good light; heavy wear can subtly change roll and feel.
- Grip condition — the most common wear point, and an easy, inexpensive fix.
- Head cover included — Scotty Cameron head covers hold value and are worth checking are included in a used listing.
Every putter we list is assessed under our published grading system, so condition is always clear before you buy — and if you're chasing something more collectible, our vintage Scotty Cameron guide covers what to look for in older models.
