What each maker claims
Attributed statements. Each maker is describing its own product, not the other one.
Scotty Cameron Studio Style Newport 2
Feel. Scotty Cameron positions the Studio Style Newport 2 for players who value feel, with a Studio Carbon Steel face insert.
Ping Scottsdale Anser
Forgiveness. Ping says the Scottsdale Anser is heel-toe weighted “for stability, forgiveness and accuracy.”
How they differ
Both makers list their putter as a blade, so the differences are in the neck, the face insert, loft and length. The Anser is set up for a slight-arc stroke and a 35-inch length. The Newport 2 comes in more lengths and has a carbon steel face insert.
Neck and stroke. Scotty Cameron lists an I-Beam Plumbing neck on the Newport 2 and gives its toe flow as “Medium” but publishes no toe-hang figure. Ping lists its H1 hosel on the Anser and gives its stroke type as “Slight Arc”, saying the hosel “helps slight-arc players start putts rolling on line.” Ping publishes no toe-hang figure or balance term for the Anser.
Face. Scotty Cameron lists a Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) face insert with chain-link face milling. Ping lists a one-piece PEBAX insert. Putting with each is the only way to know how they feel and sound to you.
Loft. Scotty Cameron lists 3.5° for the Newport 2. Ping lists the Anser’s loft as 3° +3°/-2°.
Length. Scotty Cameron’s spec table lists 33, 34 and 35 inches, and its configurator lists 32 to 37 inches. Ping lists a standard length of 35 inches only. If you putt with a shorter putter, check the length of each retailer listing before you buy.
Weight and offset. Ping lists a 345 g head and a full-shaft offset for the Anser.
Who each one suits
- The Newport 2, if you want a blade listed in more than one standard length and like the idea of a carbon steel face insert. Scotty Cameron describes it as “an iconic design made with an SCS face insert for players who value feel and appreciate crisp, mechanical lines”.
- The Scottsdale Anser, if your stroke has a slight arc, since that is the stroke type Ping lists for it, and you are happy with a 35-inch standard length. Ping says its back cavity with a single alignment line “makes aiming easy to inspire a confident stroke.”
