The Button Back Newport 2 Boasts Traditional Beauty and Performance

Scotty Cameron is not afraid to put his name on a putter that is heavy on design and flash. But golf traditionalists are also pleased that he turns out minimalist masterpieces like the Button Back Newport 2.

No bells or whistles, just sleek quality and superb craftsmanship in an elegant stick that is currently being used by D.J. Trahan and other Tour professionals. This striking blade exudes classic quality from top to bottom, beginning with a hand-stitched leather grip that feels great in the grip. You’ll want to putt without a glove, just to feel the rich texture, so different from modern rubber grips. The eye will appreciate the stepless steel shaft and the stainless steel head. Elegant contrast is provided by the copper-colored teryllium inlay, and the three back screws which give this stick its name.

Turning to the BBN 2’s performance, the results will be anything but minimalist! The inlayed face produces responsive feel, smooth roll, and good distance control. The gentle muted metallic sound will let you know when you’ve struck a putt well, and the great ball performance will second the motion.

Who Should Use the Cameron Button Back Newport Putters?

This is a putter that will expose your weaknesses if you are not a seasoned player! The sweet spot is not as large as today’s perimeter weighted heads provide, though the toe and heel weights do help. And the single line provided for alignment takes a good deal of practice to handle with skill. Serious players who are willing to spend time on the practice green will benefit with patience. The weekend golfer who needs as much help as they can get, might opt for a putter that offers more help with alignment and is more forgiving.
