Titleist
Scotty Cameron Special Select
Our Review:
WHAT IT DOES: Not all mallets have to look like tools from the International Space Station. But these classics bring a familiar look, sound and feel to the present with subtle weighting enhancements.
WHY WE LIKE IT: Many companies pound their chests about technology. This putter gently extols craftsmanship. Gone is the face inlay of recent versions. In its place is a traditional milled construction from a single piece of stainless steel. Spurred by feedback from tour players, the switch improves consistency and enhances feel across the face. Still, modern-mallet stability comes from the aircraft-grade aluminum soleplate. That frees up weight to be redistributed to perimeter sole weights for better off-center-hit performance.

Player Comments
Low-Handicapper
"I like that these continue to have smaller grips that are high quality. It feels great in your hands. The grip gets in your fingertips and the feel on the face can actually translate into your hands. It makes the ball roll and hug the ground."
Mid-Handicapper
“I really love how the offset shaft is just enough. The whole feeling of the head is light but substantial. It’s very workable.”
High-Handicapper
"It's pretty. The finish, with this duller metallic, is perfect. Not too bright. The one alignment stripe from front to back makes it super easy to line up. Low profile to the ground requires so little effort."
