2025 Scotty Cameron Studio Style putters – ‘Most significant re-design of our blade line in years’

Published

on

With the successor to his 2023 Super Select line of flagship blade designs, Scotty Cameron chose a throwback name: Studio Style, using the nomenclature in honor of the 20th anniversary of the original Super Select line.

Remember this iconic look?

Anyway, Cameron has reprised the Studio Style name for a line of 12 blades featuring carbon steel face inserts and chain-link face milling.

We’ve already spotted the flatsticks on tour and forum members have been intrigued (to say the least) by the inserts and milling pattern, as well as the line’s new shapes.

Titleist frames the 2025 Studio Style line as “a bold statement of the future with a nod to the past” in the company press release. In other words, classic Cameron shapes and craftsmanship blended with new materials, milling, and technology. That said, the putter models weren’t just copied and pasted from the 2023 Super Select line — Cameron and company emphasize a player feedback-driver “ground-up” redesign of each model.

Before digging into the dozen models in the 2025 Studio Style line, let’s look at the key technology they share.

2025 Scotty Cameron Studio Style: What’s new, key technology

SCS face insert

As the company highlights in a press release, “Carbon steel has long been revered by Scotty Cameron enthusiasts and tour players such as Jordan Spieth for its unmistakably soft sound and feel.” This, and a nod to the 20th anniversary of Scotty’s original GSS-inserted Studio Style line made Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) face inserts the choice for the 2025 design.

Cameron introduced a new electroless nickel plating process for the milled-in-the-USA Studio Style line to improve durability and resist corrosion, an issue commonly associated with carbon steel putters. This innovative plating retains the soft feel that players value, combining the benefits of carbon steel with enhanced longevity. All putter heads are precision-milled before inserts are securely integrated into the design using screws and aerospace-inspired vibration-damping technology. Surrounding the perimeter of each insert is an additional damping compound to deliver a soft, solid feel at impact.

Chain-link face milling technology

Months of rigorous testing at the Scotty Cameron Putter Studio and extensive feedback from professional players led to the development of the new chain-link face milling pattern. This innovation is designed to enhance the connection between sound and feel, according the the company. The pattern produces a softer sensation at impact compared to previous generations, while optimizing roll characteristics and speed control. Scotty says these refinements make the putter particularly effective for confidently executing short to mid-range putts, where precision and consistent speed are critical, such as when trying to minimize the effect of break.

New mid-mallet designs

The 2025 lineup introduces redesigned mid-mallet putters, specifically the Fastback and Squareback models. These compact yet stable designs utilize “ring-weighted” or perimeter-weighted technology to enhance forgiveness and stability. Constructed from a combination of 303 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft aluminum, the putters also feature the new Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert. Additionally, a high-contrast, multi-material alignment system helps golfers maintain a square face throughout their stroke, ensuring better accuracy and consistency.

Long design models

Two counterbalanced Long Design models are also part of the new collection, available in Fastback and Squareback 2 configurations. These putters prioritize maximum stability, incorporating a stiffer shaft, heavier tungsten head weights, and a 17-inch non-tapered grip. This combination supports traditional putting techniques while reducing unwanted movement during the stroke, offering an approachable and balanced design for players seeking additional control.

Studio Style weighting and shafts

Each putter in the Studio Style lineup is equipped with adjustable performance weighting, featuring two heel-toe weights made from either tungsten or stainless steel, depending on the model. The putters also include stepless steel shafts, which enhance the aesthetic while maintaining a smooth and responsive feel throughout the stroke.

New Full Contact Slim grip

The Full Contact Slim grip debuts with this 2025 launch as a complement to the new chain-link face milling pattern. With a paddle-style design, this grip offers a flat top and a contoured profile for enhanced comfort and hand alignment. The chain-link texture provides a tactile connection that improves feedback and encourages consistent hand placement.

Finish and graphics

The putter heads in the 2025 Studio Style series feature a satin mist finish, which provides a durable, glare-resistant surface. Components made from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum are anodized with a bright, clear finish for a modern aesthetic. Iconic design elements, such as Scotty Cameron’s three-dot theme in cherry red translucent paint (aka cherry bombs) and the engraved 7 Point Crown, are prominently featured. Sightlines and additional engravings are accented with jet black, gold, and cherry red paint.

2025 Scotty Cameron Studio Select: Model details

We’ll let the folks at Scotty Cameron describe each model.

Studio Style Newport: “Designed, precision milled and assembled in the USA from 303 stainless steel, this classic blade with familiar rounded contours includes a Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) face insert, an I-beam plumbing neck, a misted stainless steel finish and adjustable tungsten performance sole weights.”

Studio Style Newport Plus: “Slightly wider-bodied with the alignment cues associated with blade putters, this precision milled stainless steel putter includes a plumbing neck, the line’s new SCS face insert with chain-link face milling, and stainless steel sole weights integrated with a 6061 aluminum sole plate for increased MOI.”

Studio Style Newport 2: “This iconic putter shape steps into its next era with refined, angular contours, a new SCS face insert, chain-link face milling technology and a slightly thicker topline. It also features customizable tungsten sole weights, a refined tri-sole design and an I-beam plumbing neck; also available left-handed.”

Studio Style Newport 2 Plus: “Slightly wider than a Newport 2 and narrower than a Squareback 2, the Newport 2 Plus is milled from 303 stainless steel and features a soft SCS insert. The putter is integrated as well with a 6061 aircraft grade aluminum sole plate for higher MOI and increased stability, along with customizable stainless steel sole weights for balance and feel.”

Studio Style Newport 2.5 Plus: “Crafted like the Newport 2 Plus but with an I-beam-style jet neck for increased toe flow, this shape features a soft SCS face insert, improved damping technology and chain-link face milling, as well as an integrated 6061 aircraft grade aluminum sole plate for efficient perimeter weighting, increasing MOI and enhancing balance; also available left-handed.”

Studio Style Squareback: “Completely re-designed with a refined sole draft angle and new design features that promote square alignment, this near-face balanced model with a mid-bend shaft configuration delivers soft sound and feel with its SCS face insert and new chain-link face milling technology. “

Studio Style Squareback 2: “This multi-material model continues its evolution as a mid-mallet putter with its familiar I-beam plumbing neck, superior alignment properties from its angular features and a new heel-toe inlay, and an improved sole draft angle, which promotes a square setup. It delivers soft feel with its SCS insert, and it is milled from 303 stainless steel and integrated with a 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum sole plate for balanced weight distribution.”

Studio Style Squareback 2 Long Design: “Built longer at 38 inches and heavier with 25-gram tungsten sole weights and a 17-inch, 135-gram pistol-style grip as well as a longer, stiffer shaft, this model is designed to help quiet the player’s hands and engage the shoulders.”

Studio Style Fastback: “This updated rounded mid-mallet includes a mid-bend shaft for near-face balanced performance and features a new heel-toe inlay for enhanced two-tone alignment and higher MOI via an integrated 6061 aircraft aluminum sole plate. Its SCS face insert and chain-link face milling technology deliver soft sound and feel.”

Studio Style Fastback Long Design: “Built for players looking to stabilize the putting stroke, this model is purposely designed at 38 inches and made heavier with 25-gram tungsten sole weights, a 17-inch, 135-gram pistol-style grip and a longer, stiffer mid-bend shaft, all helping to quiet the player’s hands and engage the shoulders.”

Studio Style Fastback 1.5: “Differentiated by its toe-flow promoting I-beam jet neck offering ¾ shaft offset, this model returns as a completely re-designed mid-mallet putter made for players seeking the feel of a blade with the performance of a compact mallet, driven by its SCS face insert and two-tone perpendicular alignment; also available left-handed.”

Studio Style Catalina: “In a slightly-wider-than-standard, higher-MOI blade size with a shaft-over-spud design and modern single bend shaft for near-face balanced performance, this new model with a throwback name offers soft sound, superior feel and unmatched performance with its SCS face insert; also available left-handed.”

What Scotty Cameron says about the 2025 Studio Style line

Scotty Cameron: “The new Studio Style putters offer the most significant re-design of our blade line in years. While the name is a throwback, the technology, design and manufacturing methods are modern and brand new. Designed to produce remarkable feel and consistent performance, the new Studio Carbon Steel insert ensures softer sound for a confident roll on every putt. The chain-link face milling contributes to a new level of feel with roll performance that will give players more confidence standing over any putt. We also completely re-designed the mid-mallets with new high-contrast alignment and stability to give both blade and mallet players new high performance options. We are very excited for players to experience the feel of the new Studio Style putters.”

Senior Director of Putter R&D, Austie Rollinson: “For the new Studio Style putter line, our team has worked tirelessly, with tour input, to develop a unique method of tuning sound and feel with the development of the Studio Carbon Steel insert. It has a greater damping capacity than Teryllium, stainless steel and aluminum. By adding a milled texture—called chain-link face milling—to further soften the sound at impact, we are introducing a next-generation blade and mid-mallet putter family with new technology and methods of alignment, all designed to maximize feel and enhance performance.”

Best driver of 2025: The top 5

5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%

Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”

You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.

4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%

Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%

Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”

@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%

Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”

@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%

Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”

@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
