    Hi everyone just was curious if anyone else had gone back to a blade after experimenting with a phantom. I had been using a 9.2r which is beautiful putter, but I seem to have struggled with distance control and shorter putts.

    Went back to my Newport 2 and had probably the best putting round I have had in a year yesterday. Needless to say I will sticking my Newport 2 for the foreseeable future, but curious if anyone else in the TT community experienced this also.

    I will also throw a couple pictures on here as well ;)

    Thanks.

    I’m in the same boat.
    I have the Phantom 5.5 and like the setup and look but I struggled with distance control and shorter putts.

    Now I’m back to my Newport 2 for a while and will see.
    Removed the large SC Paddle grip on my Phantom 5.5 and switched back to a pistolero plus grip.
    Newport 2 has the midsize matador grip.

    I tried a mallet when I got back into golf (Phantom 5.5), but did a fitting and I play better with a blade.

    Have always used the Newport 2 style putter. My anser to good putter strokes and some practice. Hakuna matata.

    I've always used a blade putter. Never been fortunate to play a Scotty, but all my putters have been blades. I currently use an old school blade that allows me to put both right and left. Thinking about getting something new, but not sure my game is ready for one.

    I have used the Phantom with really good results but just love the feel of my Newport better and thats what im currently using.

    I have always been a blade guy, Newport is my model, bought the first Scotty Cameron newport when it released in mid 90's, still have it, but currently use the Special Select Newport - I tried other models before getting the Special Select newport, but Newport just always worked best for me, and the look is classic. I do have the original Futura from early 2000's 03 I think, but never used it, got it because it was so unique, but kept the Newport in the bag
