I just recieved my New Scotty Cameron Newport 2 yesterday and wanted to write up a review of it to contribute to the site. I had been using a studio style newport 2 before and will compare the select to that.

Looks:
Classic Newport 2 but they black finish just looks sexy to me. Love looking down on it and thinking this thing is going in the hole.
Feel:
It is a scotty cameron so of course feel is great. The way the ball comes of the Select i would say is closer to a solid hit like you felt the ball leave the head but not a harsh hit or soft marshmellow feel its just a nice solid hit vs my old studio select which felt like the ball came off really hot and fast and not s solid feeling for me.
The head feels heavier then my studio style in a good way. on short putts i feel the head and feel more control on the 5-6 footers. Despite the heavier feel I feel like i really need to release the putter to get the distance i want. It is nice having to stroke the putt and not be afraid of running it by the hole.
Overall i am extremely happy with my new putter and i believe that getting fit is a huge must when your going to make a huge purchase like this.
This is the first putter i had fully fit for. The specs i got were 34" 2 degrees flat and 1 degree weak loft. and i have to say the ability to just stand over the putt and grip it naturally and stroke the ball have it start right on line has giving me a new confidence with my putting. I took 5 of the exact same putts with both putters from 10 feet. With the new select i made 4 of 5 pushed the one right, with my old studio style i miss them all on the left edge and i felt the stroke was good and putt was striaght but i believe the effect of the lie angle let to the slight pull of 1-2 inchs. So i am a firm believer that everyone should find the right fitting putter to make more putts!!!
Great feeling putter and great look just hope the finish holds up.
