Studio Select Newport 2 Mid Slant

The 2008 Studio Select Newport 2 Mid Slant arrived as part of a full changeover in Scotty Cameron's mid-range line. The maker's page states that "for 2008, Scotty's Studio Select putter line replaced the Studio Style family with a completely milled design, all-new graphics, and a wide range of weighting and length options to accommodate a wider range of players." This particular head keeps the Newport 2 profile but pairs it with the Mid Slant neck, which the maker describes as providing "a full shaft of offset" alongside "its high toe profile aiding in a correct setup at address."

Specs are verified at 4° loft, 71° lie, and lengths of 33", 34", or 35", milled from Precision Milled 303 Stainless Steel. Custom ordering allowed lie adjustment of +/-2° and lengths matching the standard run, with the maker's page listing grip options of Black or Red Studio Design and Black or Red Baby T.

Set against the rest of the Newport 2 Mid Slant's run, the 2008 release marks the head's entry into the Studio Select family rather than the earlier Pro Platinum or Studio Style eras. The geometry description carried forward largely unchanged into later years, as the maker's 2011 page repeats the same high toe and full shaft offset language, but the 2008 page is distinguished by its framing as the launch year for the new completely milled Studio Select design.
