Should you use a blade or mallet putter? The Scotty Cameron Super Select Newport 2 is a classic heel-toe weighted blade and the Phantom 5.5 is a modern mid-size mallet, but which Scotty Cameron putter can help you hole more putts and perform better on the greens? Let me show you the pros and cons of blade and mallet putters, reveal how the Super SelectNewport 2 and Phantom 5.5 are similar and how they are different, and help you learn which putter, the blade or the mallet, is right for you

5.2 will match the Newport 2

I like white lines 😅

@andysung7714 says:

Do you a pov on the Phantom 5S— how does the center shafted putter feel v 5.2 or 5.5?

@snoboyz3 says:

Your putter reviews are the best on YT. Be nice to do the same comparison with the new Studio Style Newport 2 that has the insert.

Very helpful video. Encouraged me to go get fit for a putter and keep an open mind with mallets. Came home with phantom 7.5 and couldn’t be happier with it.

You are an excellent expert.

Been gaming a Newport Studio 2 for over 25 years. Just ordered a 5.5 phantom x (2022) model. We'll see how it goes

Just purchased the Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.5 putter. My blade wasn't doing it for me. Love this purchase. Planning on 3 stroke difference. Excited I found my putter finally.

4:37 nice roll…but that lip out was brutal 🤣

@PNW_Sportbike_Life says:

I just got my 11.5 and I love it.

@kentter22 says:

Very informative video! Might have to make the switch

@Aaronghdt says:

One question I have asked myself recently was if you could pick a ball up the same way with the 5.5 as with the newport 2. I have a blade putter and i was looking at the 5.5 but i just could not find any information on if that is possible.

@jagerwayz5721 says:

Great review thank you

@Singlebarrel2323 says:

I’ve always been a Newport 2 guy. I even got fit into one at the studio in Encinitas a few years back. I didn’t like the look of the mallets back then. this year the phantom looks pretty good so I ordered the 5.5 and it should ship soon. we’ll see if it’s a little more forgiving which is the goal. Almost did the 7.5 but I’m glad I got the 5.5

@bards7443 says:

Wouldn't the 2.5 vs 5.5 be a better comparison ?

@apaulmcdonough2170 says:

Special and Super Select Newport and Newport 2 are now Mini-Mallets due to Scotty redistributing the 40 grams of headweight out to the Toe and Heel.
As for the new duel milling of the Face, this was in response to Titleist softening the Cover of the 2023 Pro V1 and Pro V1x Balls. Firmed the Face to keep the Contact "Feel" identical to the earlier Special and the '21 Balls.

@blakeg.1093 says:

How do the other mallets compare in the Scotty line up? Are the differences just looks, are they all milled the same. I'm mostly wondering about the Phantom 9 and the 5.5.

@Fze5656 says:

Last gen Phantom 5.5 is my most dependable putter. Your descriptions are spot on. When dialed in w the right length and weights, the putter does so much to keep the ball on line.
