Select Newport 2.5

The 2019 Select Newport 2.5 sits in Scotty Cameron's Select line, built on what the maker's page lists as the Newport 2 head style. That head style is where the 2.5 designation earns its name, splitting the difference between the Newport's blade profile and the Newport 2's slightly fuller shape.

The record holds three verified specs on this release, all corroborated against scottycameron.com. It's built with multi-material construction, carries a curvy flare neck with ¾ shaft offset, and uses four-way sole balancing technology for weighting. Together these place the 2019 Select Newport 2.5 among Cameron's more technically layered offerings rather than a stripped-down blade, with the neck and sole work doing real jobs in setup and balance rather than serving as cosmetic touches.

Against the rest of the Newport family, the 2.5 has always occupied a middle ground, and this Select-era release keeps that positioning intact through its head style. Where it lands for an individual player will come down to how that ¾ offset flare neck and the four-way sole balancing feel in hand, since those are the two features on record that most directly shape how the putter sets up and swings.
