Abthompson07 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I currently game a Newport 2 Notchback and while I love the weight and look of the club at address, I feel like I roll the Bettinardi bb1f putter I had with the “flow neck” more consistently. My dad has a Scotty Cameron Santa Fe Two that has a similar style neck and I feel like I roll it very well too. I know Scotty makes the Newport 2.5 with that neck but I’ve been knocking around the idea of sending mine to someone and have a flow neck welded on to the Notchback head. My questions are... Should I take the easy way out and sell the notchback and buy a 2.5? Have any of you guys ever seen a notchback with a welded neck? Is it sacrilegious to think of cutting on a Scotty Cameron Putter? Does anyone know of any reputable people that would do something like that and what the price would be? Sending something to the Scotty custom shop is so expensive. pictures of the putter just because. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrfdez Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Tom Slighter was my go to gent. I don't think he's doing 3rd party stuff anymore, but he did excellent work for me. He rescued a Made for The Tour Cameron Del Mar, which oddly enough Cameron refused to work on, and he did an amazing job. I'll post pictures some time. He also did work for me on other putters. A very talented guy. Is your putter and you should do what makes you happy. Anybody lecturing you otherwise should be ignored.

hrfdez Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Tom does excellent work. He definitely puts the time and doesn't cut corners. Even his own line of putters is pretty good.

hrfdez Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) These are some pictures of Tom's restoration. The putter was in really bad shape and in need of some serious work. In order to compensate for the lost of headweight, Tom welded a long plumbers neck and added tungsten weights to the sole. The putter plays at around 330g. 8 Edited July 11, 2021 by hrfdez RockitSauce and Abthompson07 2 Quote Driver: TM SIM2 Max Woods: 3/5 TM SIM2 Max Hybrid: 22 PXG Irons: 5-PW 0311XF PXG Wedges: 50/54/58 Vokey SM8 Black Putter: Custom SC 009 35/330g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RookieBlue7 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Richard Ross at Tour Quality golf does this work as well. He’s in Oklahoma. Kyle at Golf Garage is another. Ken Flanigan at Flanigan Bilt is yet another that offers this service.
