I have a chance to trade my futura for one of the putters above, out of the 3 which one do you guys like the most and why? the laguna has about the same neck as a 2.5 newport what would you do?

[emc]

I'd go for the studio stainless newport, I just love that putter!

2.5SS has bigger sweet spot due to heel toe design.

Laguna PP will give you a more solid softer feel due the design and carbon steel material w/ PP finish on it.

If you are playing w/ a softer layer balls, you should be ok w/ the 2.5SS, although this kind of stuff are very personal preference.

Good luck!

I play with soft cover balls(prov1), how would the futura compare to these?

[slicer365]

Go with the Newport, it's much softer than pro platinum. If soft is to your liking.

Again Feel is a subjective thing IMO!

Futura are made out of aircraft grade aluminium and more of a face balance putter type of design ( almost but not quite ).

BTW, Slicer365... How can a Stainless Steel material softer than Carbon Steel material and w/ a Nickel finish? Just curious!

THX!

[golfalot333]

yea slicer365, like joe said, there's no way that SS is softer than PP...PP is carbon steel which is alot softer than stainless...

[BrisVegas]

go for the SS Newport 2.5. Classic design and durable finish.

Can't go wrong.

[Tron]

Just bought the SS 2.5 a few weeks ago. Good feel, nice to look at, nice finish. If it fits you, you will not regret getting it.

Thank you everyone(especially joe) who responded to my post. I will continue to try these putters and I will tell everyone my choice once it is made up(might be quite a while )

Thank you
