Teryllium is back: Scotty Cameron T22 putters launch
There are only a few putters I can think of that can create a true emotional reaction from most people—either because of an event it was attached to, a great round, or a player. One putter that unequivocally does this is the Scotty Cameron Teryllium series, and 22 years after the original—it’s back!
I’ll let you catch your breath.
For this iconic release let’s let the man himself take over for a moment.
From Mr. Cameron: “There’s nothing quite like the feel of Teryllium. It’s the number one material request I get from players. And, as we’ve seen multiple majors won over the past few seasons with a Teryllium-inserted putter, it’s a great time to celebrate this legendary design.” Scotty can’t say it (as the player in question isn’t a paid staffer) but I can: It’s Brooks Koepka who’s been pulling in major championships with a Teryllium putter.
So where do we begin.
Like all modern Scotty Cameron Putters, the T22 series will be precision milled in the United States. The bodies will be made from 303 stainless steel. This differs from the originals that were carbon steel and needed constant care to prevent rust spots or pitting—a maintenance nightmare for some owners in damp conditions that gamed them.
To maintain the aesthetic of the original, the new T22 series will have what Cameron is calling a tactical matte black finish (same great look but much easier to care for). Or, to use another quote from Scotty, “the new T22 is meant to be gamed.”
Another update to the original is the T22’s Teryllium insert has been given an improved elastomer vibration dampening membrane. Thanks to years of building and producing multi-piece putters, along with testing and feedback from the worlds best players, Cameron has brought that cumulative knowledge to this new series to provide golfers with uncompromised feel.
Now don’t think for a second that even with all of these new touches and features, history will be ignored. The new Teryllium series will still have the very distinct and instantly recognizable elastomer-filled dots in the cavity. Honestly, even from a distance, it’s extremely easy to identify a Teryllium, which is part of the beauty of it.
Like anything well designed (NOT just golf clubs), objects that are considered the most iconic or culturally relevant only take a second to be identified. Think a glass bottle of Coke, the headlights on a Porsche, the lines of 60s muscle cars—always slightly evolving but never straying from the lineage. Don’t forget the cover either

The timing of Lowry’s putter changeup was curious: Was he just using a Spider putter because he was paired with McIlroy, who’s been using a Spider Tour X head throughout 2024? Was Lowry just being festive because it’s the Zurich Classic, and he wanted to match his teammate? Did McIlroy let Lowry try his putter, and he liked it so much he actually switched into it?
Well, as it turns out, McIlroy’s only influence was inspiring Lowry to make more putts.
When asked if McIlroy had an influence on the putter switch, Lowry had this to say: “No, it’s actually a different putter than what he uses. Maybe there was more pressure there because I needed to hole some more putts if we wanted to win,” he said with a laugh.
To Lowry’s point, McIlroy plays the Tour X model, whereas Lowry switched into the Tour Z model, which has a sleeker shape in comparison, and the two sole weights of the club are more towards the face.
Lowry’s Spider Tour Z has a white True Path Alignment channel on the crown of his putter, which is reminiscent of Lowry’s former 2-ball designs, thus helping to provide a comfort factor despite the departure from his norm. Instead of a double-bend hosel, which Lowry used in his 2-ball putters, his new Spider Tour Z is designed with a short slant neck.
“I’ve been struggling on the greens, and I just needed something with a fresh look,” Lowry told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship. “It has a different neck on it, as well, so it moves a bit differently, but it’s similar. It has a white line on the back of it [like my 2-ball], and it’s a mallet style. So it’s not too drastic of a change.
“I just picked it up on the putting green and I liked the look of it, so I was like, ‘Let’s give it a go.’”

Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.
This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.
Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.
The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.
Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.

…The Jailbird craze hasn’t really slowed down in 2024, either. According to Odyssey rep Joe Toulon, there are about 18-20 Jailbird putter users on the PGA TOUR.
Most recently, Akshay Bhatia won the 2024 Valero Texas Open using a broomstick-style Odyssey Jailbird 380 putter and Webb Simpson is switching into a replica of that putter at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.
Now, Fowler, who essentially started the whole Jailbird craze, is making a significant change to his putter setup.
Fowler, who has had a couple weeks off since the 2024 RBC Heritage, started experimenting with a new, custom-orange Jailbird 380 head that’s equipped with a standard 35-inch putter build, rather than his previous 38-inch counter-balanced setup.
According to Fowler, while he still likes the look and forgiveness of his Jailbird putter head, he’s looking to re-incorporate more feel into his hands during the putting stroke.
He told GolfWRX.com on Tuesday at the Wells Fargo Championship that the 38-inch counterbalanced setup “served its purpose” by helping him to neutralize his hands during the stroke, but now it’s time to try the standard-length putter with a standard-size SuperStroke Pistol Tour grip to help with his feel and speed control.
Although Fowler was also spotted testing standard-length mallets from L.A.B. Golf and Axis1 on Tuesday, he confirmed that the custom Odyssey Jailbird 380 is the putter he’ll use this week at the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship.

Funny how many people trash the putter, like they are so good at the game that they have the intelligible insight to tell Scotty how he should and shouldn’t make putters. Laughable folks. To those of you who don’t want one, good for you, you won’t be able to get one anyway (except for eBay maybe, if you have a grand to spend). Let’s all stop letting our mouths outrun our brains for a minute and think about the fact that a bunch of people on this comment thread are downing a putter that has won more professional tournaments than their cumulative scramble records. ????. The putter is gorgeous…get over it.

I want the button backs, Scotty! Like the one Koepka has but in a notchback. Along with the button colors I can customize. These TeI3 putters are so hard to maintain rust free. And I have Trypophobia…

So the great Copycat has run out of things to copy so he is reinstating the Terrilium face. Looks like I have a fortune with my 2 or maybe three old terrarium insert putters in Left Handed.. And I see they are already lining up to spend 500 Bucks for them, lol, what a joke.

Man was really hoping that Newport 2 was a tri-sole like the old ones. Atleast the bumpers on the Newport are pretty damn close to 009. I remember when he sent out the email last year about whether or not he should release a button back again, this will do Scotty, this will do.

I’ll stick with my original newport 2 teryllium. Nothing wrong with carbon steel if you take care of your equipment. Easily one of the most recognizable putters from afar.

unless you live in a climate that doesn’t allow you to use cabon steel with a raw finish like the PNW!

Richard
Jul 8, 2019 at 10:43 am
The Newport is much better looking than the Newport 2 and the sight line is a no brainer IMO. People put sight lines on their golf balls in addition to whats on the putter. It would make sense for them to make the production version with a sight line and allow custom orders without than the other way around. They probably put the sight line on the last Newport to compare retail sales against Newport 2.
