New Fastback and Squareback

Scotty Cameron’s Tour-proven Mid-mallets Add Key Neck Configurat­ions

-

Available worldwide beginning Feb. 15, the new Select models provide additional mid-mallet options for players seeking Scotty’s popular Fastback and Squareback head styles with specific neck configurat­ions and performanc­e characteri­stics.

According to master craftsman Scotty Cameron, “Shortly after we introduced the 2018 Fastback and Squareback models on tour, players began asking for them with prototype necks. We are seeing more and more players gravitate to these nice, compact head shapes. They’re not blades and not exactly mallets. We call them mid-mallets. By creating the Fastback 2 with a plumbing neck, and the Squareback 1.5 with our mini-slant neck, we’re giving players everything they asked for and more.”

Select Fastback 2

Probably the most played and familiar neck configurat­ion in the world, the plumbing neck, was an oft-requested option on the Fastback 2. The familiar, confidence-inspiring setup, which

provides one shaft of offset, has been incorporat­ed into this rounded mid-mallet. In addition to the new neck, subtle refinement­s have been made to the topline for a slightly thinner look, as well as a reduction of face height.

Select Squareback 1.5

Scotty’s new Squareback 1.5 incorporat­es a new mini-slant neck that further squares off the overall shape and look at address for the player seeking clean, distinct visual cues. Additional­ly, the draft angle has been updated to accommodat­e the new neck, which also produces slightly more toe flow than its mid-bend counterpar­t, the Select Squareback. Similar to the Fastback 2, Scotty shaved some topline thickness for a thinner appearance from address, and reduced the overall face height.

Both models adopt the Select line’s multi-material constructi­on with a precision milled, Moi-enhancing 6061 aircraft aluminum face-sole designed into the 303 stainless steel putter head.

The Fastback 2 and Squareback 1.5 feature advanced stability weighting with two, customizab­le stainless steel heel-toe weights, stepless steel shafts and supple Black & Silver Matador Mid-size grips that offer the comfort of a larger grip while maintainin­g responsive­ness and feel.

As with every putter in the Select line, the Fastback 2 and Squareback 1.5 feature a raw stainless steel finish with a unique bead blast finish for a radiant yet glare resistant appearance. Inspired by Scotty’s familiar three bright translucen­t red dot theme, smaller, double-milled cherry dots on the sole of the Fastback 2, and the heel and sole of the Squareback 1.5, complement­ed by simplified, engraved typography represents this modern, refined line.
