Scotty Cameron unveils new Special Select Jet Set putters

Scotty Cameron has today introduced the new range of Special Select Jet Set putters.

The limited release features a four-model collection designed for the player looking for a particular design aesthetic in a high-performance configuration with attention to shape, color palette and finish.

Precision milled in the United States from a block of 303 stainless steel, each new Limited Release Special Select Jet Set putter incorporates Scotty’s performance balanced weighting technology featuring customizable sole weights, as well as purpose-built aluminum sole plates designed to optimize weight distribution in the wider profile of the Plus models.

Speaking on the new range, Scotty Cameron said:

“A lot of golfers want to game the same putters the pros play. Our new Special Select Jet Set putters offer a taste of that experience with a few extras that put them in a category of their own. The Tour Black finish is something a lot of people really like, so when I can, I make putters using it combined with dark, smoky accents. The overall tone-on-tone look is inspired by custom car builders, and that’s where the Jet Set name comes from. We’ve offered this concept in years past. This is the next version of Jet Set. Specifically, the ‘Plus’ models that are in between the width of a Newport 2 and a Squareback 2. I developed this “tweener” size working with a few Tour players who wanted something in between the width of a traditional blade and our Squareback flange width. The Special Select Jet Set Newport Plus and Newport 2 Plus offer those desired sizes and happen to be the first we’ve created for everyone. Limited releases like these new Special Select Jet Set models are for those who want a high-performance putter, but also that little extra.”

In addition, the Special Select Jet Set Newport, Special Select Jet Set Newport Plus, Special Select Jet Set Newport 2 and Special Select Jet Set Newport 2 Plus feature custom graphics, a Tour Black finish with a dark, tonal color scheme, a specialized Pistolini Plus grip, shaft band and headcover.

Displaying the evolution of Scotty’s research in bringing the benefits of higher MOI to blade putter shapes, the line’s “Plus” models introduce slightly wider profiles than standard face-to-flange blade dimensions in design to offer maximum performance from a blade putter.

Special Select Jet Set Newport

“A souped-up version of Scotty’s classic heel-and-toe weighted blade, the Special Select Jet Set Newport includes a plumbing neck, the model’s distinctive rounded features and a unique sight line milled on the topline. Precision milled from 303 stainless steel, this limited release putter has a solid face, misted Tour Black finish, adjustable performance balanced raw tungsten sole weighting and includes the line’s new textured Pistolini Plus grip and Jet Set headcover.”

Special Select Jet Set Newport Plus

“Crafted slightly wider when measured from face to flange, the Special Select Jet Set Newport Plus offers a new size in high-performance blade putter design. Relying on proven multi-material design methodology, Scotty accommodated the fuller profile by distributing weight to the perimeter and incorporating a 6061 aircraft grade aluminum sole plate, anodized black and engraved with the line’s Jet Set graphics. A milled flange sight line provides clean alignment, while customizable stainless steel sole weights provide balance. A new, textured Pistolini Plus grip, Jet Set shaft band and specialized headcover complete the package.”

Special Select Jet Set Newport 2

“Designed with the proven shape, plumbing neck and tri-sole of a modern Newport 2, the Special Select Jet Set Newport 2 is milled from 303 stainless steel with customizable tungsten sole weights, a Tour Black finish and the line’s Jet Set graphics package, including a specialty shaft band, headcover and textured Pistolini Plus grip. Incorporating a subtle design characteristic—and inspired by the putters he makes for touring professionals—Scotty included a milled sight line on the topline rather than a standard flange line. A limited number of left-handed Special Select Jet Set Newport 2 models were also created.”

Special Select Jet Set Newport 2 Plus

“Splitting the difference in flange width between a Special Select Newport 2 and Squareback 2, the Special Select Jet Set Newport 2 Plus offers a Tour-inspired shape that introduces the next profile in high-performance blade design. Milled from 303 stainless steel with a solid face, the Newport 2 Plus has a 6061 aircraft grade aluminum sole plate, anodized black and engraved with the line’s Jet Set graphics. A milled flange sight line provides clean alignment, while customizable stainless steel sole weights provide balance. The putter includes the line’s new, textured Pistolini Plus grip, Jet Set shaft band and specialized headcover.”

The limited release Special Select Jet Set putters will be available worldwide on Aug. 19, 2022, at Titleist authorized golf shops, and are priced at $650 each.

Can I Loctite lead tape to the sole of a driver? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has outlined the trials and tribulations of finicky lead tape placement. They’ve explained why the adhesive won’t stay attached to their driver, and are looking for solutions.

RCGA wrote:

“I have a Ping G430 driver that I keep having to apply lead tape too. Yes, I’ve tried all the tricks (cleaning club with alc., using some heat to apply, applying pressure to embed). The problem is, the sole of the club gets wet and the adhesive starts to fail. Taking the headcover off x10 a round starts to hitch on a bit of leadtape and eventually it falls off. Can I apply a little bit of blue Loctite to keep this more secure?”

Our members in the forum have offered up their thoughts on whether or not applying Loctite to lead tape is a good idea. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Mikey_HACKilroy: “Blue Loctite is a thread locker. Useless as a contact adhesive. 3M Super 77 or Loctite spray adhesive. Remember to mask the driver where you don’t want the spray. Also make sure you wait for it to become tacky on both materials or it’ll be a PITA to attach. Clean-up later should it fail or you want to remove it will be harder, but not impossible.But really….. this is WRX; don’t we buy new drivers when things like this are a problem? Surely there’s a driver out there with more customizable weight to negate the lead tape. ? ? ? (I’m kidding of course LOL)”
PJE: “It sounds like you have a bad batch of lead tape? I’ve put lead tape on the front sole of drivers many times and it didn’t come off until I got tired my experiment and peeled it off. The last tape I bought was from Amazon. It worked well. It was $10 for the roll.”
Stuart_G: “FYI – it’s a common misconception but the reality is that unless you’re adding weight on the order 20+ gm – the location really doesn’t matter for most. You’re not having any significant effect on the c.g. location.”

Found my unicorn fairway wood – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has triumphantly declared that at long last, they’ve found their “unicorn fairway wood.” User @Mp14forlife shared the great news in a post outlining their journey.

They wrote:

“This has been a years long struggle. I play 3-pw and carry a 56, 60 and 64 degree. So I only have room for 1 fairway wood. I had been using a 5 wood which was good to about 250ish. My dream club was finding a bigger headed fairway wood that could get out to 270ish but also easy to elevate off the deck and not be too hot but also not balloon either. It’s been a struggle trying to find that. Well I found the right combo after several attempts. I’m hitting the AI smoke max 3hl with a 75 gram tensei blue. This thing feels great, I’ve been able to smooth shots into greens with this thing from 260 and have it stop no problem, even on downhill lies it’s been easy to elevate. I’m able to smash it off the tee as well and not worry about it being too hot, just a great flight and right amount of spin. And that face feels great. Finally nice to have this part of the bag figured out.”

Some members in the forum have offered up support and excitement, while others poke fun at MP14forlife’s “problem.” Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

azgreg: “I’m having a hard time imagining that a 250 yard fairway club wasn’t sufficient. It’s evident that not all of us play the same game here.”
alittleoverpar: “Fairways are the hardest to get comfortable with. I’ve tried many over the years but have landed on the 5 Deep as my tool of choice.”
BowMain42: “I don’t think there’s anything better than having a comfy fairway wood. Just something about it feels… right. As evidenced by the many pros that rock old, worn ones.”
