Who It’s For: Golfers with deep pockets who want to maximize feel and touch on the greens.

The Skinny: Adding a Teryllium insert to classically milled putters enhances feel and sound to help golfers get a better sense of touch on putts.

The Deep Dive: Tiger Woods won his first major championship, the 1997 Masters, using a Scotty Cameron Teryllium TeI3 Newport putter, and Brooks Koepka has won his five major championships using a Teryllium-inserted Scotty Cameron T10 Select Newport 2 prototype, but Titleist’s master craftsman for putters had never made a retail putter with a Teryllium insert until the Teryllium T22 putters were released in 2019. Two years later, the Champions Choice family of putters dropped, marking the second time the exotic material was made available to the public. Scotty Cameron has just updated those putters and released the Champions Choice Limited Release putters for 2023.

There are four putters in the family – Newport Plus, Newport 1.5 Plus, Newport 2 Plus, Newport 2.5 Plus – and each is a slightly larger version of the standard putter that bares its name. The addition of Plus versions of putters debuted in January’s Super Select family.

All the Champions Choice Limited Release putters are milled from 303 stainless steel and have a weight in the heel and toe areas of the sole to allow fitters to adjust the swing weight of the putter based on its length or the golfer’s preferences. They also have a 6061 aluminum sole plate that takes weight from the middle of the head and shifts more of the overall weight to the perimeter for enhanced stability. Finally, they also have a single alignment line to help golfers aim the face.

The significant difference between the Champions Choice and Super Select putters is the Champions Choice has been made with the Teryllium insert. Don’t look for that material on the Periodic Table because it’s a name Cameron made up for an alloy.

“Tellurium copper is made from 12 different alloys to create this super-soft copper. No one [when Cameron was developing the material] had heard of tellurium, but everyone was into beryllium nickel and beryllium copper, so I took the name Teryllium and called and got a trademark on it,” Cameron told Golfweek in 2018 in a discussion about Brooks Koepka’s putter.

The Teryllium insert is designed over a layer of vibration-dampening tape and held in position by three screws that you can see on the back of the putter. Those screws for the Button Back pattern take the place of the trademark Cherry Bombs found on many Scotty Cameron putters. In the Champions Choice putters, the Button Back area has been paint-filled using red, white and blue, but you can not see the colors when you look down in the address position and get ready to putt.

Who They’re For: Golfers with deep pockets who prioritize feel but want the performance and looks of classic heel-toe-weighted blades and mid-size mallets.

The Skinny: Modifications to stalwarts such as the Newport and Newport 2 will make purists happy, but the Plus versions for golfers who like a beefier blade and new milling technology could make this a popular option for a larger number of players.

The Deep Dive: Over the last few years, a lot of plans had to be, shall we say, adjusted to meet the demands and changes taking place in the world. Golf equipment has not been immune to this, and the Scotty Cameron Special Select line of putters, released in 2020 and intended to be in the marketplace for two years, wound up at retail for three instead.

However, now the update to the Special Select putter family is out: the Scotty Cameron Super Select putters.

Aesthetically, no significant changes were made to the base models. The Newport and Newport 2 are still heel-toe-weighted blades with a low profile, and the Fastback 1.5 blends a Newport and a mallet. Cameron aficionados will notice those putters have a modified neck that Cameron refers to as an “I Beam” that reduces weight.

What is new, however, is the addition of Plus versions of Newport and Newport 2, along with the addition of the Newport 2.5 Plus.

The Plus versions of each putter have the same blade length as the standard models, and they also have adjustable weights in the heel and toe area of the sole to allow fitters to adjust the club’s swing weight easily. What makes them different is a wider back flange, which gives them a more solid look in the address position. They also have some 303 stainless steel removed from the center of the sole, with the hole being covered by a 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum plate. Removing steel and putting aluminum in its place shifts more of the overall weight to the perimeter, so the Plus models are not only larger, they have a significantly higher, mallet-level moment of inertia and stability.

The company said the Plus putters debuted on the PGA Tour in 2022.

The other change Cameron has brought to the Super Select putters involves the face milling. Like previously released deep-milled putters, a computer-controlled bit spins over the face and shaves off tiny ribbons of steel. This is what creates the circular pattern. But in the Super Select putter line, a second milling takes place that shaves off the peaks formed between the circular grooves the first milling left behind. The result is the deeper sound and softer feel of a deep milling pattern with more consistency strike after strike because the ball hits the flattened areas between the mill marks instead of points.

For several years, when PGA Tour pros asked for customized Scotty Cameron putters with deep milling for a softer feel, this is what the folks in the Cameron Studio have created for them.

Six models are dropping in the initial release.

Super Select Newport, Newport Plus. These heel-toe-weighted blades have rounded bumpers, a compact size and a plumber’s neck hosel.
Super Select Newport 2, Newport 2 Plus. Similar to the Newport putters, the Super Select Newport 2 and Newport 2 Plus have a slightly longer blade length and narrower topline than the Newport putters, along with squared-off back pieces.
Super Select Newport 2.5 Plus, Squareback Plus. These putters were designed to appeal to golfers who like a larger, squared look at address and desire the stability of a full-sized mallet in a blade-style putter.

Four additional models should be in stores in mid-May, including the Del Mar, GoLo 6, GoLo 6.5 and Fastback 1.5.

Scotty Cameron Monoblok 6.0, Monoblok 6.5 putters

Monoblok putters feature a semi-circular shape and perimeter weighting to maximize feel and stability.

Gear: Scotty Cameron Monoblok 6.0, Monoblok 6.5 putters
Price: $650 each
Specs: Milled 303 stainless steel with 6061 aluminum sole plate and steel weight screws
Available: Oct. 7

Who It’s For: Golfers with deep pockets who look to a mallet putter that enhances feel but also is forgiving on off-center hits.

The Skinny: Milled from one block of solid steel, both Monoblok putters feature a semi-circular shape and perimeter weighting to maximize feel while also increasing the moment of inertia and stability on mis-hits

The Deep Dive: The Scotty Cameron GoLo putters from the early and mid-2010s were updated several times and available in sizes ranging from the compact GoLo 3 to the extra large GoLo 7, with the GoLo 5 sitting in the middle. They had a flowing, semi-circular shape, and the larger models featured perimeter weighting that made the heads more stable than golfers might expect on off-center hits.

With the release of Monoblok 6.0 and Monoblok 6.5, Cameron is returning to the familiar shape and trying to offer players a pair of putters that deliver outstanding feel and touch on the greens and better performance on putts hit outside the sweet spot.

Scotty Cameron Monoblok putters — The Monoblok 6.5 is milled from a solid piece of 303 stainless steel. (Titleist)

As the name implies, each of the Monoblok putters starts as one block of 303 stainless steel. The block is positioned in a milling machine, and a computer controls a fast-spinning bit that passes back and forth over the metal, shaving off tiny ribbons of material until Cameron’s desired shape is produced. Milling putters this way improves quality control and ensures the same shapes are produced every time.

The faces of the Monoblok 6.0 and Monoblok 6.5 are also milled to help create a sound and feel that Cameron thinks will be pleasing to many golfers.

A large portion of the sole of the club is removed during the milling process, then covered with a 6061 aluminum plate. The aluminum weighs significantly less than the steel that was in the head, so more of the overall weight naturally shifts to the perimeter, which boosts the moment of inertia for more stability. There are also weights in the heel and toe area that can be changed by custom fitters to increase or decrease the Monoblok 6.0 and Monoblok 6.5’s swing weight based on the club’s length and the golfer’s preferences.

While both clubs feature a single black alignment line in the cavity of the head, the neck and hosels are different. The Monoblok 6.0 has a mid-bend shaft and is nearly face-balanced, so it should appeal to golfers who make a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke. The Monoblok 6.5 has a short, curved neck that creates more toe hang, so it is better suited to golfers who like arc in their putting stroke.

Scotty Cameron limited-edition Special Select Jet Set putters

Four new limited-edition, all-black putters are a stylish way to make a statement on the greens.

Gear: Scotty Cameron limited edition Special Select Jet Set putters
Price: $650 each
Specs: Milled 303 stainless steel with adjustable sole weights and aluminum sole plate
Available: Aug. 19

Who it’s For: Golfers who want a traditional blade with a soft feel in an all-black, non-glare finish.

The Skinny: The limited-edition Special Select Jet Set Newport and Newport 2 are all-black versions of the previously released Special Select putters, while the Plus versions are new, wider offerings that should provide more stability.

The Deep Dive: If you are ever in Encinitas, California, and have a chance to stop by the Scotty Cameron Gallery, it will be easy to see what inspires Titleist’s putter guru. For decades, Cameron has loved Southern California beach culture, American muscle cars and industrial designs.

Recently, more and more pros who use a Scotty Cameron putter have opted to use a Phantom X or Futura X mallet – players such as Justin Thomas, Max Homa and Patrick Cantlay – but most golfers associate Cameron with heel-toe-weighted blades such as the Special Select putters. With the release of the limited-edition Special Select Jet Set putters, Cameron is building on the Special Select lineup that was released about two years ago and blending his most popular blade offerings with a styling that sets them apart.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X putters (2022)

In the market for a new putter? Check these out.

Gear: Scotty Cameron Phantom X putters (2022)

Specs: Milled 303 stainless steel and 6061 aluminum. Available in seven head styles. 33-, 34- and 35-inch options

Price: $429

Available: April 15

Who It’s For: Deep-pocketed golfers who love blades and have an arched stroke but want the forgiveness and sightline options of a mallet.

The Skinny: The Phantom X mallet putters for 2022 are designed to provide the feel and sound of Scotty Cameron’s premium heel-toe weighted blades, but their added size created room for bolder alignment features and a higher moment of inertia for increased forgiveness.

The Deep Dive: The way that Scotty Cameron tells the tale, mallet putters from a generation ago were nearly all face-balanced, which means that if you rested the shaft of one in your palm and let the head hang loosely, the hitting area would point to the sky. That was fine for golfers who aspired to make a straight-back, straight-through stroke, but those putters were poorly matched for golfers who naturally made an arched stroke. Instead, arched-stroke players used less forgiving blade-style putters, and that was that.

Then, about a decade ago, new materials started finding their way into putter designs. They allowed weight to be shifted more easily, and putter makers like Cameron started crafting mallets with different hosel designs and weight systems that gave them toe-hang. Instead of being face-balanced, they could be used by golfers who made an arched putting stroke.

The 2022 updated Phantom X putter lineup is filled with mallet options for golfers who want forgiveness coupled with the feel of Cameron’s Newport and Newport 2 blades.

Scotty Cameron limited-edition Phantom X 9.5 Triple Black putter

Limited to just 4,000 putters, the all-black mallet uses a multi-material construction for better performance on the greens.

Gear: Scotty Cameron Phantom X 9.5 Triple Black putter
Price: $750
Specs: Milled 303 stainless steel body with 6061 aluminum piece and adjustable stainless steel sole weights.
Available: October 8 at select Titleist retailers

Scores of elite golfers, including Jordan Spieth, Nelly Korda, Hideki Matsuyama, Cameron Davis, Rickie Fowler and Danielle Kang, use heel-toe weighted blade putters made by Scotty Cameron, Titleist’s master craftsman for putters. (Nice job title if you can get it.) Cameron also makes compact mallets like the Phantom X 5.5 that are based on his heel-toe weighted Newport blades, and you will find them in the bags of players like 2021 FedEx champion Patrick Cantlay and Justin Thomas.

On Tuesday, Cameron announced the release of a limited run of 4,000 all-black putters that take the concept of the Phantom X 5.5 a step further. The new Phantom X 9.5 Triple Black putter uses multi-material construction to help golfers achieve a better roll and improved performance on the greens.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5, 5.5, 11, 11.5 putters

Scotty Cameron extends Titleist’s mallet putter lineup with two models designed to provide more feel and stability.

Gear: Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5, 5.5, 11, 11.5 putters
Price: $429 each
Specs: Milled 303 stainless steel with aluminum and adjustable sole weights
Available: March 26

Last season brought an update to the Scotty Cameron Select line of blade-style putters, so this year it is the mallet putters’ turn to be refreshed. While there are several mid-size and high-MOI mallets in the Phantom X lineup introduced two years ago carrying over into 2021, Titleist’s putter maker has added two new models with different neck configurations for players who want more forgiveness and feel.

The Phantom X 5 and X 5.5 share the same head, which is milled from a piece of 303 stainless steel and has extensions in the heel and toe area. But instead of keeping the entire head solid, which could make the putter extremely heavy, Cameron replaced a significant portion of the bottom of the head with aluminum, which is a much lighter material, and then added a pair of weights in the heel and toe area. The weights are not designed to be changed by golfers, but fitters can swap the weights out to adjust the club’s swing weight based on its length and a player’s preferences.

Where the two putters vary is in the neck. The Phantom X 5 has a single-bend in the shaft that makes it face balanced and ideal for players who have a straight-back, straight-through stroke. The Phantom X 5.5 has a small slant neck which creates a small amount of toe hang. It is very similar to the putter that Justin Thomas plays and is better suited for players who have a slightly-arced putting stroke.

The Phantom X 11 and X 11.5 are similarly shaped to the X 5 and X 5.5, but they are slightly larger and have extra steel pieces at the end of the heel and toe wings. Again, the silver-toned areas are milled 303 stainless steel, and the darker sections are aluminum to save weight. The larger profile increases stability and the moment of inertia to make the X 11 and X 11.5 more resistant to twisting on off-center hits.

The difference between the two putters, again, is found in the neck. The Phantom X 11 has a high-bend neck and is face balanced; the Phantom X 11.5 has a single bend that is lower, which encourages more movement in the toe portion of the putter, so it is better for golfers who have an arched stroke.

Scotty Cameron Inspired by Justin Thomas Phantom X5.5 putter

Titleist’s putter guru is releasing 2,020 limited-edition putters inspired by Justin Thomas’ prototype.

Justin Thomas was not thrilled with the way he was putting at the end of 2016. He was striping the ball off the tee and from the fairway, but his putter was holding him back from contending and winning more.

He wanted a change, and after rummaging around on the Titleist PGA Tour van, he spotted a Scotty Cameron Futura X5.5. Having always played a Newport-style blade, it was visually a departure for Thomas, but he liked it. Eventually, Cameron welded a small slant neck onto a Futura X5.5 putter, Thomas put it into play and a few months later he won the 2017 PGA Championship with it.

If you have thousands of dollars to spend on a putter, for years you have been able to buy a Scotty Cameron prototype putter at the Scotty Cameron Studio in Encinitas, California, or on eBay. This is different: Starting on Sept. 22, for $850 you can get one of 2,020 limited-edition Scotty Cameron Inspired by Justin Thomas Phantom X5.5 putters at select Titleist authorized golf shops.

Like Thomas’ actual putter, the Scotty Cameron Inspired by Justin Thomas Phantom X5.5 has a milled 303 stainless steel face and wings that extend back from the heel and toe areas. A portion of the sole has been milled out and replaced by a 6061 aircraft aluminum soleplate. That shifts more of the club’s overall weight to the perimeter for increased stability.

Close Up: See all of Justin Thomas’ Titleist clubs

The club comes standard at 34.5 inches with 10-gram weights screwed into the heel and toe areas of the sole, just like Thomas’ putter. The hand-welded neck is also there.

While Scotty Cameron putters designed for the PGA Tour typically are stamped with a Circle T logo, these putters are adorned with a unique Circle JT logo on the milled face and the sole.

“This was an extremely cool project for me to work on with Scotty,” Thomas said in a media release. “In the beginning, I was only thinking it would give me something different to look at for a couple weeks. Yet here I am, four-something years later and still using it. So, I guess it’s worked out pretty well.”
