    Ok team, I currently have the Newport 2 and I am wanting to get a new shaft for it. It has a stock shaft, 33" in it and I am wanting to put a longer shaft in. What are some of your thoughts or considerations for a new shaft and what else may need to be done to the loft lie? Thanks in advance.

  2. You may want to consider trying to find lighter sole weights to put in it if you lengthen the shaft to keep the overall weight the same as what you are used to. Typically these putters come with 5g heavier weights for every inch shorter the shaft is so if you go to a 34" shaft it may be worth looking for some 10g weights. But that may be something to consider after you've put the shaft in and see how it feels.

    All you need to do is get a shaft extension then cut to your length and adjust your weights to 15g, 20g, whatever you want

    Like John W mentioned, you can change the weights, maybe you want to go even heavier. Kits are available on the Scotty Cameron website with three different weights, they have a reg and a heavy kit.
  5. Good luck ever finding those sets in stock on the scotty site lol

    Have you considered sending it in for refurbishment to the Studio? It is not inexpensive, the results are amazing. And I am sure they can rebalance and adjust the weights as required. My two cents.

    If you take your putter to a reputable Titleist account that does repairs, they can do all the things that you need to have done to your putter. They can adjust the lie loft, they may have the weights you are looking for and add an extender to you current shaft. The shop I deal with, which is not a big box store, has all these capabilities. As us you increase the length of the shaft you will need to decrease the weights.

    Rather than reshaft, I bought a new Scotty grip and a shaft extension at a local golf shop. Takes about 5 minutes to install and doesn’t mess with loft or lie. Just my take…

    Update, since looking at the forum and posts and others, I had mine extended 1.5 inches, now the length is much better, and I am not having any issues at this time. Thank you to all that commented.
