The Newton Gravity Deuce putter is a square back style putter that is offered with several grips, neck types, and lengths. The Ultra Low Balance Point technology offers a one-of-a-kind feel that may help some improve the tempo of their stroke.
Introduction
The Deuce is one of Newton Golf’s newest putters in what they are calling the Gravity line. They describe it as a wide-body Anser-style putter, but it’s definitely pretty far removed from a traditional Anser. Newton Golf’s extremely lightweight shaft and light grip mean that the putter head feels extremely heavy. They call it their Ultra Low Balance Point technology. The point of all of those unique details is to provide not only a unique, pleasant feel for your putting stroke but also to foster greater control of your swing path and putter face.
Looks
While the Newton Gravity Deuce putter has a pretty traditional square back shape, the black color gives the putter a modern feel. It is also modern in how boxy it looks, featuring sharp edges, square lines, and perpendicular milling on the 1080 carbon steel body. Those milled lines are absent from the cavity, allowing a thin, but vibrant red back line to aid in a player’s alignment. Despite it being a double-wide blade, the putter looks smaller than it truly is thanks to the black profile.
The sole of the Deuce isn’t flashy like Drac (review HERE), but it is interesting. Like many prominent blade models, it features a tri-sole. On that sole, there’s subtle text that reads, “Made in the USA.” The more noticeable details are the “Deuce” and “Gravity” both written in vibrant red paint that stands out against the black putter.
Sound and Feel
Different from the Drac which features aluminum as the metal being used, the Newton Gravity Deuce putter has a 1018 carbon steel head. As a result, the sound of each strike is much deeper. However, it is a bit harder to tell where that strike is, because no matter where you hit on the face, that deep “tock” is nearly the same.
While that deep sound of impact is soft and pleasing, the feel off the face is firm, due to the shallow milling on the face. If it weren’t for the extremely light feel of the shaft and grip, the feel would be almost like that of a traditional Scotty Cameron blade, down to the tri-sole that allows you to feel that tangible feedback that the putter is soled correctly.
Performance
Whether you call it a double-wide or a square back, this style of putter, when face balanced, is awesome for those who are trying to maintain a straight-back-straight-through style of stroke. With the Ultra Low Balance Point technology, it’s even better. It feels like putting on rails.
I found I had my best results when I let the Newton Gravity Deuce putter do the work, almost letting the head drop onto the ball after the takeaway. It encourages those with tempo issues to foster a smoother stroke. Compared to other Anser-style heads, it has forgiveness too, as the extra mass of the wide head encourages less deflection, causing off-center putts to still hold their line relatively well.
For those who don’t like the center-shafted style though, the Newton Gravity Deuce putter is also offered in flow and plumbers neck variants. However, those two neck types switch the toe-hang of the putter pretty drastically. While the center shafted model is face balanced, the flow neck has dramatic toe hang, and the plumbers neck features moderate toe hang. Choosing the correct neck style for your stroke will be pivotal to finding success with this putter, so make sure you get fitted to know what works best for your stroke.
Along with three kinds of necks that you can order, you can also get the Newton Gravity Deuce putter customized to your ideal length and grip type. There are three grips available: flat, round, and pistol, although I think this putter is best paired with the flat model. It can also be ordered to be 32, 33, 33.5, 34, 34.5, 35, 35.5, and 36 inches in length. My one main critique would be that it cannot be ordered with a custom loft or lie angle which plays a role in how successful any putter is for you.
Conclusion
Whether you’re a traditionalist who loves blades but wants more forgiveness or someone who wants a unique feel and wants to try something new, the Newton Gravity Deuce putter is undeniably a great option. Newton Golf is offering something different with its Gravity line and pushing the boundaries of what a relatively traditional shaped putter can feel like. That’s exciting when so many putters that come out are more of the same.
