I made the switch from Odyssey to a Scotty myself. I had only used mallets before, but I ended up trying out a Studio Select Newport 2.5 and have been using it for the last 15 years. I had only used softer faced putters, but was surprised how much I liked the firmer feel of the Newport. I don’t think you will regret the switch…but it’s gonna cost you a little more than 50 this time! But worth every penny!

Putters, especially SC Putters, can be very personal. I feel there are a couple things one must do in order to find a great fit...not just look at price.

First, toe flow is very important...do you like to be SBST or more with an arc with your putter motion? Some players like myself need Straight Back Straight Through while others prefer a big arc....once you determine this you can better make a choice in the lineup of SC Putters.

Second, looks are paramount...do you prefer a line on the top of the face or flange, do you prefer alot of alignment marks or minimal? I have a naked putter and prefer minimal while others like all sorts of lines etc...

The rest of the options are ancillary but still important such as weight, length and loft on the face. These need to be determined by having a trained professional assess your stroke IMHO.

Hope this helps! Cheers
