Offered here is an early 2000's Scotty Cameron Newport Tour putter in coveted GSS with flangeline and stamped Circle T in cavity.

Vog says: This is my kind of putter, and if this had ever been offered to me privately, I would have bought it in a heartbeat. But why? To the average Cameron afficionado, it flies under the radar. It doesn't have vertical stamping. It doesn't have tour bombs. It doesn't have 18 tour stamps on it. What does it have? On top of GSS, it has all kinds of signs Scotty worked on this, shaping away, to get the lines just right. While the COA does not mention it, it was made for former PGA Tour Pro Greg Kraft. Greg had some strong ideas of what he wanted. So, what do I see on this putter? Look at the back of the putter and the shoulders. The "crease" in the shoulders has been softened, and these early Newports had a very sharp crease. Now, look at the shoulders as they transition to the heel and toe. See how the crease actually is shaped downward? That's Scotty shaping the putter and eliminating as many sharp lines as possible. Next stop, the shoulders, where "GSS" and "Krafty" are stamped. See how the tops of the shoulders are all nice and rounded? A stock head didn't look like that. Scotty really rounded that transition-look at the shot of the putter from address to see how that looks to the eye over the ball. Look at the topline from the back - see how little metal there is above the cavity to the topline? Scotty worked down the topline. Now, look at the face of the putter - at the top of the face as it blends into the topline. It looks like there is some radius there when it's normally a 90 degree angle, and a very sharp transition. It's intentional - that radius gives the head a softer look from address. Finally, look at the sole. I see a lot of beveling around the edges of the sole - more so than "stock." A lot of the old school players grew up playing very grainy Bermuda greens, and 20 years ago before hybrid Bermuda strains, there was a lot of grain even on PGA Tour event greens. All that radius made it less likely the grain could catch the putter blade.

"So what Vog? Why does all this matter to you?" I get really excited when I see a putter that screams "Scotty REALLY worked on me." For some collectors, they want a putter with a ton of stamps. That said, a putter like that with a lot of stamps looks cool, but to me that's not the best example of Cameron craftsmanship. Rarely does a tour player have a putter with a ton of stamps on it. Tour players really don't care. What they care about is these kind of details. On a putter like this, for a demanding player, there's no room for error on the shaping of the putter. If Scotty got the lines wrong, it doesn't look right at address and the player rejects it. This has all the look of a "roly-poly" putter - and trust me I typically see a putter with this kind of work come to the market every couple of years; they're that rare. I have maybe 8-10 old Classic I or early Newport heads with this look and I try to buy every one I see. Imagine the collector interest if an early 50's or 60's Ferrari was determined to have been worked on by Enzo himself - he personally built the engine? Or a Porsche 356 that had the fenders shaped a little differently by Dr. Porsche? Scotty's had his hands on most tour putters - but he REALLY had his hands on this. Enough said.

Condition is excellent, 9.5 out of 10, 35", with new cord grip and circle T art of putting headcover.
