Select Newport 1.5 lie-angle fingerprint
What stands out about the Select Newport 1.5 lie setup?
The available specification gives this model a 71° lie reference rather than a full progression.
This putter uses Plumbing neck geometry with not listed toe flow. Length, posture and how the sole sits should be checked before changing lie.
Fit playing length first; Scotty Cameron states that standard lie works for most players when putter length is correct.

Dynamic lie check for the Titleist Select Newport 1.5 putter
Only consider this after the correct playing length and posture are established.
Start here with the 33–35 in build and check whether the sole sits naturally.
Only consider flatter if the heel remains raised after length and setup are correct.
Should the Titleist Select Newport 1.5 be more upright or flatter?
Consider more upright when…
- Toe sits high after correct length and posture
- Hands naturally sit higher without forcing setup
Consider flatter when…
- Heel sits high after correct length and posture
- Hands naturally sit lower without crowding the body
Do not change lie just because…
- Putter length has not been fit first
- You are trying to fix aim or face control with lie alone

Because these heads use different playing lengths, judge dynamic lie with the actual club being fit rather than applying one lie correction across the whole family.
Dynamic lie changes with delivery, shaft deflection, playing length and setup. For SureFit metals, use the Titleist chart for the exact category and handedness. For irons, wedges and putters, use a qualified fitter or putter technician before bending. Titleist SureFit guide.
