Scotty Cameron Special Select Newport 2
Full reviewThe short answer
Buy the Spider Tour if you want the more forgiving club, you want the newer design (2023), you want a stable mallet that stays square.
Buy the Special Select Newport 2 if you strike it consistently and want more control, you want to spend less (older models sell for much less used), your stroke has some arc and you like a classic blade.
Both sell used for well under their launch prices ($400 and $430). Live used prices are coming soon; until then, use the shop links to see what each costs today.
