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.

Accra Golf shafts have long been synonymous with fitting, and the new GX line of driver, fairway, and hybrid shafts continues that legacy.
Since 2004, Accra has been making high-end performance golf shafts that use the latest in materials and design philosophy. Their group of around 350 fitters are some of the best and most highly ranked in the world. While you might see other brands on professional tours more often, there are plenty of touring pros using Accra products and winning.
Accra’s new GX line of shafts is designed to offer a consistent and accurate shaft to a wide range of players. The GX line consists of 3 different shafts in driver, fairway, and hybrid designs.
The Accra GX shafts are designed for fitters to dial in golfers to the perfect shaft for their swing. Accra included a ton of technology into the GX line including their S3 profiling, DyMatch, and Constant Flex technology. DyMatch has been Accra’s quest to ensure that all shafts in a family feel and perform similar from driver to hybrid or iron shaft. Typically shafts get stiffer as they go up in weight, but Accra’s Constant Flex keeps the flex of the shafts consistent so fitters and golfers can dial in the weight that the golfer need without have to work around a stiffer or softer flex. Accra worked with Cool Clubs to build out its S3 Shaft Profiling system that not only allows a quick and easy EI profile of any shaft, it helps with quality control to ensure shafts come out of production exactly as they were designed.
Accra GX Red 300 Series
GX Red is lowest launching and spinning option in the GX line. Driver shafts have fewer options with just the 360 and 370 models that come in at 63 and 71 grams. The GX Red is made for faster swinging, or stronger, players who require a stiff (M4) or x-stiff (M5) shaft for their swing. Fairway and hybrid models are also on the higher weight side with the fairway clocking in at 80g and 90g for the hybrid. Accra designed this series with one of the stiffest tip sections of any Accra shaft in the current line, and while it is built to control launch and spin, the Red 300 Series will still offer that smooth feel.
Accra GX Green 100 Series
If your swing usually works best with mid-launch and spin, then the GX Green 200 series might be the right shaft for you. Offered in more weight and flex options, you can get a GX Green in 52 grams and all the way up to 70 grams in regular, stiff, and x-stiff flexes. GX Green will give the player a smooth feel and transition from the handle down to the tip section while still providing great stability and consistency. Accra also focused on the energy transfer of this shaft, and golfers can see some increased ball speed compared to other shafts.
Accra GX Blue 200 Series
While the GX Blue 100 Series is the highest launching and spinning option in the GX lineup, it will still give golfers the control and consistency they need. Starting off at 40g, the GX Blue series puts an emphasis on lighter weight to allow players to swing the club faster, promoting more distance. Accra touts the stability of the GX 140 Blue driver shaft by stating that some long driver competitors have put it in play to try and gain every MPH they can. Matching fairway and hybrid shafts are both on the lighter side at around 60g for the fairway and 65g for the hybrid depending on the flex.

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.

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.

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…

Maybe if it came with a heated grip it may be worth the $410. There is nothing new here!

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

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

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.

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.
