Where it wins
- Feel92
- Looks91
- Sound90
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
You putt with a moderate arc and want a slightly wider, more stable Anser 2 with the new soft Studio Carbon Steel feel and a higher-MOI sole plate.
You putt with a straight stroke (look to the Catalina/Fastback), you want maximum forgiveness, or you want a value price.
Pros
- A wider Anser 2 with a 6061 aluminium sole plate - higher MOI and more stable
- A new Studio Carbon Steel insert - noticeably softer than previous Scottys
- Roughly 45 degrees of toe hang for a moderate arc
- A Golf Digest 2026 Hot List blade
Cons
- Still blade-level forgiveness - below a high-MOI mallet
- Toe hang - built for a moderate arc, not a straight stroke
- A premium £499 price
By dimension
Forgiveness
StrongStrong for a blade - slightly wider than a Newport 2 with an integrated 6061 aluminium sole plate for higher MOI and increased stability, slightly more stable than the standard model. More forgiving than a standard Anser 2 blade, if below a high-MOI mallet.
Distance
ExcellentA standout - the Studio Carbon Steel chain-link insert improves roll characteristics with controlled speed, the chain-link milling helping confident speed on short-to-mid putts. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
SolidAn arc-friendly blade - the Newport models have roughly 45 degrees of toe hang, ideal for players with moderate arcs, a moderate-arc fit. Good arc-fit - a moderate-toe-hang Anser 2 blade.
Feel
Class-leadingA class leader - the putter feels soft but not mushy and is noticeably softer than previous Scotty models, thanks to the Studio Carbon Steel insert, the chain-link milling softening the sensation while preserving feedback. Among the very best putter feels in golf - a soft carbon-steel insert.
Sound
Class-leadingA soft, muted note - the Studio Carbon Steel insert gives a soft sound with just a hint of crispness, a soft, clean acoustic. Among the better putter sounds - a clean, muted note.
Looks at address
Class-leadingClean and classic - the slightly-wider Anser 2 shape keeps a clean, confidence-inspiring setup, a premium milled look. Among the best-looking blades, if a touch wider than the standard Newport 2.
