Teryllium Newport Long Neck

The 1998 Newport Long Neck takes the standard Newport and stretches the neck, a change Scotty Cameron's page explains was made to reduce the head's toe flow and produce a putter with more face balance. The maker's page describes it as a way to build an exceptional new model while holding onto the classic lines of the Newport. This release carries the Teryllium designation, meaning the face inlay is made from a 12-metal alloy that the maker's page says creates a distinctly soft feel and solid feedback, paired with an injected elastomer membrane to dampen vibration.

Specs on this 1998 release are set at 4 degrees of loft, 71 degrees of lie, and a 35 inch length, all verified from Scotty Cameron's own archive page for the model.

Within the Teryllium family, the Long Neck sits as the face-balanced counterpart to the standard Newport head, a distinction that carried forward into the following years' Teryllium Two Newport Long Neck releases, which kept the same loft, lie, and length specifications and much of the same descriptive language about the alloy inlay and elastomer damping.
