Newport 2

The 1995 Newport 2 marks the model line's debut, described by mrtopesgolf.com as a classic blade-style putter with a slightly larger head than its predecessor. That head_style description, larger than the original Newport it followed, is the one distinguishing detail the record holds for this specific year.

Reception noted by the Community centers on consistency and accuracy, with mrtopesgolf.com calling it a favorite among professional golfers and one that has been used to win countless tournaments, remaining, in that outlet's words, one of the most beloved in the putting world. That praise is opinion, not a verified count of wins, and the site offers no further breakdown of which tournaments or which players.

Scotty Cameron's own product pages describe later Newport 2 variants at length, the Select Newport 2, the Notchback, the Notchback Dual Balance, the 2.5, but those pages are captured from 2017 and speak to those later builds rather than to the 1995 original. Where the maker's site calls the Newport 2 shape one that has quietly become the most renowned of all putter shapes, that line describes the design's standing in general rather than any spec particular to this 1995 release. Against the rest of the Newport 2 lineage, then, the 1995 putter stands as the starting point: a classic blade, slightly bigger than what came before it, and the shape everything since has been measured against.
