Scotty Cameron goes high tech with new GoLo putters

Published

Scotty Cameron’s new GoLo 3, GoLo 5, GoLo 5R and Golo 6 putters merge aluminum and stainless steel in a innovative way that the putter maker says could influence his future designs.

Designing putters is a process, Cameron said, but the driving force of the new line was his curiosity about putter inserts.

An unshafted GoLo 5 putter. Notice the raised alignment aid, which is the aluminum Face-Core Sole poking through the stainless steel body.

[quote_box_center]“I’d always wondered, with a conventional insert, if you hit it thin – which is very common considering putting surfaces are rarely level – do you hit the portion of the putter face below the insert?” he said. “And how does that affect the feel and performance? Inserts are used for feel, not for performance. But performance is, in part, due to feel. So, I thought, why not just take the seam out?”[/quote_box_center]

Cameron’s GoLo 5R, which has a more rounded appearance at address than the GoLo 5.

Cameron explored eliminating the seam that inserts create below the center of the face, which he accomplished with what the company is calling a Face-Sole Core.

The Face-Sole Core is made from aircraft-grade, anodized aluminum, and constitutes the entirety of the face and midsection of the putter. It’s wrapped in a heavier, 303-stainless steel frame that gives the putter its shape and has performance benefits as well.

Two pieces — a stainless steel body (left) and an aluminum Face-Sole Core — make up each of the new Cameron GoLo putters

[quote_box_center]“The goal of the design was to move the weight out of the midsection and enhance the perimeter weighting like a horseshoe around the outside to create higher moment of inertia and increase the resistance to twist,” Cameron said. “So the more we can get a horseshoe, getting the weight out and back, the better off we are on off-center hits.”[/quote_box_center]

The aluminum Face-Sole Core and stainless steel frame are joined with a vibration dampening system — rubber bars that sit between the two pieces and keep them from touching — to give the putters a softer feel than previous GoLo putters.

The last, and maybe one of the most important feature of the putters is their new four-way sole design, which is shaped in such a way that the putter will not sit opened or closed when it is soled at address.

“IT SITS DEAD CENTER,” CAMERON SAID.

To prove his point, Cameron spun one of the new GoLo putter heads on a glass table to show how it would rotate 360-degrees in perfect balance.

[quote_box_center]“Hardly ever are you on a flat surface on a putting green, so we made the draft angles perfect in each direction, front-to-back, heel-to-toe, so that you’re not going to snag the ground,” he said. [/quote_box_center]

The GoLo putters ($379) have Cameron’s Silver Mist finish and use the company’s 10-inch, 77-gram Matador Red Midsize grips. They’ll be in stores April 3.

obviously the majority of the people on this site have never experienced a Cameron experience. Scotty would not throw a piece of junk out. He has to continue to make putters to please the people and why not try and improve the putter game.

Uhhh……I’m still waiting for the fins and top side whale tail attachment. I hate to jump on the
bandwagon of dissenters here, but goodness gracious “as Jack would say,” these offerings
are hideous. I remember when Scotty’s over priced tools sold for $299 a pop, but the designs
were smooth and clean without over designed head covers. At $379, he has officially lost me.

If you are hitting a putt that thin then the seam is probably the last of your problems. The best feeling Camerons to me are the ones which use a 303SS face, take that away and they are just another cookie in the pot.

He is creative, besides, who looks at the sole plate when putting. You know he has the data to back up his claims or he wouldn’t be doing them. I just wonder why there doesnt seem to be a center shafted model like the GoLo 5S offered today. To me it has the best look from the grip to the ball. The price ? You didn’t think it ws going to be cheaper did you?
The gentlement to resonded about getting a used Del Mar, that is a good thought, I would be suprised the price of a used GSS 009 isn’t doubled after Jimmie Walkers win this past weekend.

  Definitely, everyone is going to want Jimmy, I repeat Jimmy Walkers putter because he won the Sony. What is the big news with this putter, huh right, the insert goes to the bottom. Charge $379 for that sounds like a bargain. Get a metal x putter for $50, but you don’t get the Scotty headcover showing in your bag. Mmmm, have to rethink this. there are a lot of great Cameron putters these are not one of them

$379 for a putter with a insert putter? Cameron is losing their mojo. But 99% of Cameron’s are sold because of status not performance. Not saying they don’t make or have made great putters. But….. You know the rest

Not a fan. Even though I have an Odyssey White Hot Pro and know what it feels like to hit it thin, I just don’t like the look of these enough to ever spend the ridiculous amount of money he wants for them. I’d rather spend that kind of money on an Odyssey Mextal-X Milled or Works putter. Or, I could just track down a lightly used California Del Mar for considerably less than any of those.

These look like they were designed by a 9 year old Transformers fan. He sure does churn out some junk these days. What happened to the classic designs like the Teryllium or Studio stainless series?

Why an aluminum insert? Can i wrap a beer can around my putter and get an idea of the feel of the insert?

  I hope you’re not serious. They used to make beer cans out of steel, in fact some beer companies still use steel cans. Can I just take one of those, put a shaft in it and get an idea of the feel of a steel head putter?

Common sense prevails. Now do one on a Newport or Newport Two design, nothing funky-looking from address (like the old Terylliums), keep the graphics (relatively) calm and you’ve got the whole smash. My 2¢.

Golfsmith was doing an insert that went to the bottom of the face about 10-15 years ago and I wondered why nobody else did it. The hitting it thin miss kept me from using insert putters so will be interesting to try this one.

  Increased MOI. But I don’t think I can stand the looks of these to justify a slight MOI increase…

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

1 day ago

May 12, 2026

Gianni Magliocco

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

Gianni Magliocco

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

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.

manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
