2016 Scotty Cameron Select putters
The Scotty Cameron name garners passionate and widespread attention in the putter market, so when Scotty Cameron releases a new putter, golfers take notice.
And Scotty says his new Select putters look, sound and feel better than ever before. That’s due to a new multi-material construction and face inlays, which look like a face insert but wrap down below the leading edge into the sole.
“We’ve extended the methodology of our proven multi-
material technology to include new stainless steel inlays for blades, as well as aluminum inlays for the mid-mallet models,” Cameron says. “The result is a better look, a better sound, a better feel and a better product.”
The line, which consists of seven different putters, utilizes three different constructions.
The Select Newport, Newport 2 and Newport 2.5 putters use a 303 stainless steel face inlay that’s mid-milled, hand-buffed and bonded to a stainless steel body. It also has vibration-dampening material to reduce vibrations for a softer, more responsive feel.
The Select Newport 2 Notchback has a 6061 Aircraft Grade Aluminum face inlay anodized in gunmetal gray. The lightweight face is bonded to a heavier stainless steel body, leading to perimeter weighting that boosts moment of inertia (MOI), a measure of forgiveness.
The Select Newport M1 and M2 mid-mallet style putter also use a 6061 Aircraft Grade Aluminum face inlay, but the material goes down into the sole and pops up through the back cavity to create the sight line.
The body of the putter is made from Stainless Steel, providing perimeter weighting and higher MOI. According to Titleist, the putter is made to stabilize straight-back and straight-through strokes.
Also, each of the putters has two interchangeable stainless steel weights in the heel and toe, a glare resistant finish and comes with a red matador grip.
Read more about each of the new Scotty Cameron Select putters below, which will be available on April 8. All putters will sell at retail for $410, except the dual-balance putter will sell for $425.

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.
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.”

If they where blank I’d buy one immediately

So many tour guys use leading edge toplines or sight dot yet all SC’s retail putters come with flange lines that many putting experts have proven are the hardest to line up. Would be nice to have Speith option as retail.

People Please, can everyone stop flooding these discussion boards complaining about the price of a club, the product cycles of TaylorMade, or how every putter is a copy of the PING anser. We’ve heard this all before a million times. I guess complainers are all up in arms about price because either you can’t afford to buy it, but you want to, or you don’t think its worth the price. If you don’t think its worth it, then don’t buy the club. If you can’t afford it, sorry, but stop posting complaints about price. If you want a cheaper club, go troll eBay, not golfwrx.

I care about what people think, just not about the price of a club. Scotty Cameron putters are expensive, in other news, the sky is blue….nothing new here. Bring something tangible to the table Bert. Like why Scotty’s have had the same satin finish for 3+ years running, or why they have gone away from deep milling, or even why they don’t really have any “new” head designs. Those are things that people should care about, not that the price went up $20!

So, just an updated Studio Style line w/ adjustable weights? I prefer the cleaner scotty looks… like the original studio select line. And I think by stamping the bumper you are taking away from people who want to send it off to the custom shop. 410 is getting a little too steep as well. They are pretty though.

These look great. 410 is ridiculous. I placed an order for a Black Lab with custom stampings for 300. These are great if your name is Scott Cameron.

Umpteenth repackage of the same thing. They look nice, they will sell.
I wish I could be around in 75+ years to see if the Cameron putters are considered classics.

I seem to remember many people saying that golf is 50% physical & 75% mental. If you can afford a Scotty and it makes you feel good when you take it out to putt, hopefully the good vibes will turn into more putts made.
Being in Canada where the exchange rate has climbed to stupid levels due to a global glut of oil, we recently saw most Studio Newports go from $399 to $499. Now with this new release, a Scotty will set me back almost what a PXG driver would. Good thing I have my 3 year old GOLO.

The fit and finish of Scotties demolishes every other putter brand and oh, they win a ton of tournaments. It’s like everything else in life: You want the best or you want just okay?
Brandon
Jan 26, 2016 at 6:21 pm
For me, it is right to compare putter and car as they both gone thru some sort of studies and R&D… We are charged for the works they done and time they spent before launching it.
BTW, TaylorMade M stands for multi materials and Scotty Cameron M stands for Mallet…
Cliff
Jan 27, 2016 at 8:19 am
Can I get a moon roof, power windows, heated seats, climate control on my scotty!
Maybe if it came with a heated grip it may be worth the $410. There is nothing new here!
Eric
Jan 26, 2016 at 4:09 pm
When you buy a Scotty Cameron really all your are buying is the name plated on the putter. You can’t blame Scotty for the price point because people are dumb enough to buy them, but look at what your buying. He took the old Ping Anser design and used some different materials to build it with. Before 1992 nobody had ever heard of this guy. If you want a Scotty Cameron go buy a Ping Anser, an Odyssey, or anything else thats been made the last 25+ years. They’re all the same except for different badges.
Cliff
Jan 26, 2016 at 3:16 pm
I don’t get the SC obsession. The putter has to be the easiest club to make. A grip and shaft run about $25 for the average Joe. Don’t see how there is $300-$375 worth of material and work involved at this point anymore.
Josh
Jan 26, 2016 at 3:41 pm
Then don’t buy it, make your voice heard with your wallet.
And also, if you don’t get the “SC obsession”, stop reading articles about Scotty Cameron putters. Choose to do the things that make you happy!

Jan 26, 2016 at 2:03 pm
yeah not sure about the scotty cameron stamps on the back… the putters as always though, look great imo. now we’re at $410 retail for the standard line? this guy is really maximizing his opportunities. can i blame him? not really… i think the other manufactures need to step their game up a bit. scotty’s putters are in a class of their own and although i think theyre overpriced, he has every right to charge what he wants. no competition. TM can easily re-introduce the itsy bitsy spider… but they released the monstrosity version and it looks like a toy. no demand for that set-up. Day wins huge with this thing and its a discontinued product? why not bring it back? create some buzz and or improve on something that people want.
Don
Jan 26, 2016 at 10:46 am
I wish I could actually afford one of these. But since I am cheap enough that I won’t fork over more than $300 for a driver none of these are in my future. Too expensive.
Chris
Jan 26, 2016 at 12:06 pm
For something you use anywhere from 25-40 times per round, depending on putting skill of course, it makes more sense to spend it on a putter you really like the feel of as opposed to a driver you will hit 14 times a round. I used to quantify the price based on how far the club was going rather than how much use it will get without even realizing it. Once I thought of it in terms of how many times I would use it per round, it became a much easier bullet to bite into.
alexdub
Jan 26, 2016 at 12:33 pm
To continue your line of reasoning… Since I use a golf ball more than twice the amount of times I use a putter per round, should I spend $400 on a golf ball? The cost of a putter is mostly unrelated to the benefit it provides. People buy Scottys (or other high-end putters) because they feel special when they pull them out of the bag. And, if someone’s golf game is influenced by how special they feel when pulling something out of the bag, I’m not sure how much equipment will help anyway.

It doesn’t matter how many times you hit it if it doesn’t go where you want it. Spend what you have to, in order to get the right gear. Price makes no difference if it doesn’t perform, but humans are stupid in thinking that price makes a difference when it comes to golf equipment

Interesting. Aircraft aluminum face insert reminds me of the old style Grace designs. That M2 is intriguing to me.
Anthony
Jan 26, 2016 at 10:22 am
I like the Newport’s from the last two years a lot more. The Newport came with no alignment lines and made it much easier to get exactly what you wanted in a putter because you could send it to the custom shop and get exactly what you wanted.

I wonder what grade stainless the heads are made out of now and if they’re cast, forged, or milled…
Josh

LOL a cast Scotty. Now that’s funny. BTW the bodies are (milled) 303 SS. http://www.scottycameron.com/videos-photos/?id=66

Scotty never said the body was milled. He did say it was 303 but all he said was milled face and scotchbrite sole.

New here and recently retired. In my previous life I was the Stainless/Aluminum Product Mgr. for a major distributer. Basically all aluminum is military grade. This is an additional specification that all mills will certify their product to for no wxtra charge. Have to giggle when I see producers use it for marketing purposes. 6061 is the most common alloy, like vanilla ice cream.
