2020 Scotty Cameron Special Select putters
Scotty Cameron has been refining and defining putters for more than 25 years at Titleist, and to celebrate 2020, he’s releasing the new Scotty Cameron Special Select putter line to showcase timeless, tour-proven designs, crafted with impeccable attention detail.

Putters are unique clubs because the great styles and classic shapes never go out of style, kind of like cars. Yes, we have seen a growth in larger geometry and technology packed designs, but the classics are classics for a reason, and they will continue to live on.
The inspiration for the new Special Select putters came directly from combining Scotty Cameron’s most classic shapes with tweaks driven by tour player requests. When it comes to Cameron-designed putters, it’s never going to be about reinventing the wheel, it’s about taking a proven philosophy and refining the end product to perfection. That also means using the best materials, controlling the process start to finish, and milling from a solid block of 303 stainless steel in the USA.
Each model in the Special Select putter line has been completely reworked, including Cameron’s classic Newport, Newport 2 and Newport 2.5 style blades. A newly refined Del Mar joins the new Fastback 1.5, Squareback 2, Flowback 5 and Flowback 5.5 mid-mallet models.
“With Special Select, I wanted to get back to the pure-milled shapes and faces that I’ve been crafting for tour players for over two decades now. We’ve brought those designs into the modern era with new setups, necks, faces, grips and weights. Every aspect of every putter has been redone. When it all came together, it was pretty special.” – Scotty Cameron

The Performance Behind Special Select
Everything Scotty Cameron and Titleist is driven by the endless pursuit of creating the most high-performance products for the best players in the world and then bringing that technology and performance to dedicated golfers. The changes made to the new Special Select line to differentiate it from previous Cameron putters of the past are all tour inspired and include
- Soft Tri-sole Design: Special Select blade models are milled with a tour-inspired soft tri-sole design. This self-soling feature promotes the putter sitting square to the target line at address. The key to this design feature is a slightly negative bounce sole that puts the putter in the correct position time after time.
- New Balanced Weighting: Heel and toe positioned weights in the sole of Scotty Cameron putters are not new, in fact they have been around for more than a decade now in other select models, but like the rest of the Special Select series it’s about refinement not reinvention. These customizable weights assure that each putter is properly balanced based on putter length, and the golfer’s stroke. There are stock configurations but putters can be made lighter or heavier by request through custom order.

- See what WRXers are saying about the 2020 Cameron lineup.
The blade models all come fit with new tungsten sole weights that are heavier than previous steel ones. This allows for sleeker shapes with larger sweet spots. The mid-mallet putters use a stainless steel sole weights for optimal balance and weight distribution.
- Refined Hosel Configurations: This is the true nitty gritty, to be sure every attribute of each model is perfect before being put in the hands of the golfer. The Newport and Newport 2 putters, for example, feature a slightly shorter plumbers neck for medium toe flow, with a newly-defined socket radius (where the hosel neck meets the top line) repositioned with onset to provide better visibility of the leading edge at address, allowing for easier alignment.

Scotty Cameron Special Select Models
As mentioned, there are eight models to choose from in the new Special Select line; three blade models and five mid-mallet options with a look and toe flow for any stroke.
- Newport, Newport 2, Newport 2.5, Del Mar, Fastback 1.5, Squareback 2, Flowback 5, and Flowback 5.5.
Final Touches
Each Scotty Cameron Special Select putter comes stock with a new grey Pistolini Plus grip with distinctive white lettering. The new Pistolini Plus maintains the shape of the original Pistolini but with a slight build-up lower hand.
The Special Select line’s un-plated stainless steel heads are bead blasted for an easy-to-maintain glare-resistant look that won’t show wear like putters with traditional plating or applied finish. The signature red cavity dots have also been given a styling upgrade with each dot milled with a recessed channel, which is then polished and hand-painted with cherry red translucent paint.
Pricing and Availability
Special Select putters will be priced at $399 and will be available Jan. 24 in North America and March 27 worldwide through Titleist authorized golf shops.
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.”

Upgrading
Jan 29, 2020 at 3:14 pm
No insert = yes please. Fell in love with the shape of my Select Newport 3 (now the Del Mar) last year. But, with the insert I found them to be much less forgiving. My miss strike with the putter has always been high on the face. With the Select range, that meant right in the grove of the where the insert ends and the top line begins. As a result, it felt like you were putting a rock and the ball would hardly roll out. The new line gets back to the original single piece / classic looking and feeling Scotty’s of old. You can’t have a validated opinion unless you’ve tried it. I did and I’m now upgrading from my Select Newport 3 to the Del Mar. More forgiving, softer feel, and same timeless craftsmanship. Also this is my opinion; spend your money how you want to and I’ll do the same.

Aside from his many putters he does and doesn’t claim as original he has also claimed some epiphany of design inspiration for the “Pistolini/Pistolero” grip designs. You can even find an asinine video of SC describing his moment of inspiration. Golf Pride made that very grip 20 years ago and it was labeled “New Decade” on the butt; came in solid red and possibly black. Now, via some back door agreement with SC they no longer offer that style under the GP name and you’ll need to pay $29 for the privilege of owning a $6 grip designed 20 some years ago now branded SC. Marketing smoke and mirrors at its finest.

Honestly I have not liked the last 3 models of the Newport 2 but got to try the special Newport 2 today n this baby sounds so sweet n putter face feels so nice and dense on nice strokes. Def getting one soon .

Same old same old…. Cameron has never seen a putter he won’t copy. With the exception of the highly successful design of the Detour putters. Luckily for him he decided to just copy others rather that use his designing skills. This is not hate, just my opinion. Ok millennial?
CCShop
Jan 18, 2020 at 12:31 pm
Love no insert, could have done with a smaller Scotty Cameron on the front but other then that I love that new look. SC is always going to be expensive. So what if it looks like a Ping, feels much better. I’ll pay a premium to get a better feel.

This is the best, he is even copying hisself, which was a copying another brand, and laughing all the way to the bank. Oh well.

true that the recent SC models look not as good as ‘olde’ ones. but this ones look no bad at all. the newport seems kinda based off timeless & tri-sole style a ‘little’ bit. why not?

“ Every aspect of every putter has been redone”
Thats a lie…. They are the EXACT same putters that have been around forever minus the paintfill and writing which means absolutely nothing
Shawn

Nice job on the left handed models. Exact same 2 models he’s offered for the last 20 years. What a joke…
Nick
Jan 18, 2020 at 10:34 am
As a fellow lefty I agree completely! I would be willing to wager that if SC were to release one of the new flowbacks in left handed they would sell a heck of a lot more of those than this worn out DelMar model.

“Hmmmmmm lets see….. this year we’ll put some different engravings……..maybe change some paintfill……..I’ve got it!!!!….. we’ll call it the “Special”.”
No thanks I’ll be different than the neighbor and buy a better putter for $300 less. Thank you Mr. Solheim.

Do these make more putts than a $150 putter? the $250 difference would cover quite a few putting lessons.

They still look like Pings! He could maybe take credit for the mallet’s, but not the blades…no one can…it was all Mr. Solheim.

Jan 17, 2020 at 2:36 pm
How did a complete plagiarist like Cameron become so widespread used on Tour? Guy is completely uninspiring, yet he’s THE puttermaker. It’s a shame. Not an original thought in his head.
Juststeve
Jan 17, 2020 at 3:20 pm
Because he turns out a better Ping than Ping.
Putter Man
Jan 21, 2020 at 6:16 pm
Ping makes a HUGE variety of EXTREMELY HIGH QUALITY putters. To say Cameron’s are better quality than Ping is to ignore what is right in front of you. You may prefer Cameron because they say “Special Select Tour Model Custom Limited Pro 1st Run Circle T Rat” and have different colored paint fill that matches your bag but its not because they are higher quality.
I hate Joe
Jan 17, 2020 at 4:54 pm
Joe, you making that comment makes you the one with the most unoriginal ideas in your head. SC has always given Ping credit for his creations. You should never speak in public if you insist on being a moron.
I hate the guy that hates Joe
Jan 17, 2020 at 5:39 pm
They aren’t his creations. Cameron is a huckster. German stainless steel? Fake news.

I probably won’t get one because they changed the flow neck to a slant. But, this is a HUGE improvement over the recent offerings.

Not too hot on the covers but the rest of the „re-design“ is spot on. Got to love Scotty‘s marketing – Special ????. I am sure those will sell like hotcakes. I for my part am happy with my Phantom X so ain‘t in the market for one

Does it come with the weight kit included? The new Mizuno M-Craft putters look every bit as nice…milled from a solid block of high-carbon steel…and come with a weight kit for adjustments for $100 less. Cameron putters sell on the name alone.
