Our take Our assessment (based on published specs)
2 min read
Two descendants of the same 1960s blade, and a good illustration of why we don't rank putters on specs.
PING's Scottsdale Anser 2D publishes a 360 g head, a one-piece PEBAX insert, an H1 hosel with full-shaft offset and 3.0° of loft. Scotty Cameron's Studio Style Newport 2 is milled 303 stainless with a carbon steel insert, an I-beam plumbing neck and 3.5° of loft. Lie is 70° on both — though PING prints it as 20°, measured from vertical, which we convert to the industry convention and flag on the page.
Three things aren't comparable, and we don't pretend otherwise. PING publishes a stroke type (Slight Arc) where Scotty Cameron publishes a toe flow grade (medium) — different scales. PING lists one stock length, 35", against 33"/34"/35". And PING doesn't state left-handed availability on the page at all, so that row is not available rather than a "No".
Price: PING publishes none, anywhere on its site. Scotty Cameron's launch MAP was $499.
