Scotty Cameron expands Cameron & Crown putter line

Published

on

In August 2016, Scotty Cameron announced a new line of putters called Cameron & Crown that were designed specifically for an underserved group of golfers: those who use a 33-inch putter. The line included five signature Cameron models that were optimized for their shorter lengths, which is about 2 inches shorter than most putters.

“The release was well received,” Scotty Cameron said about the original Cameron & Crown launch, and the putter maker is adding to his short-putter line with four new models that will be available starting June 16 and sell for $379 each.

I’ve always said that the length sets the eyes, and the eyes set the path,” Cameron said. “For those men, women and juniors who need a shorter putter, it gets their eyes in the right position to make a proper stroke while maintaining good posture and balance.”

The four models — Newport, Mallet 1, Futura 5MB, Futura 6M — are a mix of Cameron’s most popular standard-length putter models. The biggest difference, aside from their length and cosmetics, is that they use heavier putter heads that optimize their swing weight, feel and balance at their shorter lengths. They also use a smaller-diameter, grey Scotty Cameron Matador grips.

    Personally, I don’t think he runs the Cameron Brand anymore, he is the face of “Scotty Cameron Putters”, all this space age rocket stuff if run by the FILA marketing department (or who ever owns Cameron brand) who’s only guide is the excel files with the profit margins.

    Make a stainless steel Newport or Newport 2 and many customers will return

    If people are willing to pay $2K+ for basically ping clubs (pxg) then these will sell just fine

    I am afraid but those just don’t fly of the shelf. You will never hear of this line again next year.

    Any of these putters can be ordered in 33″ length normally. The biggest distinction between a regular SC and the Cameron & Crown line is the difference in color, sole plate design, and grip. Both putter lines cost the same amount from what I’ve seen (or at least the 6m which I plan to purchase). I agree that some people only purchase SC putters for status and do very little testing. However, that is not always the case and I will never judge someone just because of the equipment in their bag. I have tested several putters in a variety of lengths, but nothing has been able to knock my Odyssey White Hot Pro #9 out of the bag until I tried the SC 6m in 33″ with the mid-sized matador grip. It sets up easy every time and fits my stroke. Distance control, alignment, and strike location are much better compared to the Odyssey. Can’t say I too much care for the color choices on the C&C line and the fact I can’t order one direct with the mid-sized matador grip is dumb.

    You’d think with a product as quality as Scotty Cameron putters that they wouldn’t need gimmicks like this. So just cutting a putter down 2 inches yourself makes it obsolete because the weighting, balance and feel are thrown off? Give me a break. I’ve cut mine down to 32.5 and I’ve putted better with it ever since.

    Instead of expanding the line why doesn’t he make putters like the m2 in lefthanded?

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.

The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.

On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.

Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.

“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.

Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.

“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.

“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.” 

In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.

On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.

According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”
