In-hand photos of Scottie Scheffler’s new Scotty Cameron custom mallet putter
After winning four times in 2022 with a Scotty Cameron Special Select Tour Type GSS prototype blade putter, it appears world No. 1-ranked Scottie Scheffler is making a drastic putter switch at the 2022 CJ Cup.
On Tuesday at Congaree Golf Club, we spotted Scheffler with a new Scotty Cameron T-5.5 Proto mallet putter, with custom engravings on the toe and heel portions.
According to Scotty Cameron rep Brad Cloke, Scheffler has a similar putter at home, and he felt his starting lines were a bit better than his previous blade.
The new putter has three alignment lines at address, specific face millings to match the feel of his old GSS putter, and Cloke said Scheffler is all-in on the putter this week after receiving the new putter last week.

Rickie Fowler’s new putter: Standard-length Odyssey Jailbird 380 in custom orange
Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.
…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.

Starting lines matter not if your aimline is a misread. Only one putter corrects that, and it is at eBay P&SI EGOS is the magic formula.

I like it, the design is good because tge blade is relatively short and the rails at those angles do two tings they direct the eyes to the center of the putter and structurally direct the force created as tge putter is stroked to tge center as well. I would love to have one!

I hope it works out for him. I switched from a NP2 to a 5.5 and struggled mightily. Switched back to my NP2 and my handicapped dropped back down.

Does this sort of thing ever end up well? The number 1 player in the world, winning essentially everything, changing putters for no good reason?
