FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (March 15, 2012) -- They
say that timing is everything. In the case of
the new Scotty Cameron by Titleist Select line
of putters, time is all things.
With more than 12 years of innovative
research and experience, the Cameron Putter
Studio presents its newest line of putters,
building upon Cameron's ability to craft only
the best putters in the world. New for 2012
are five blade models (Newport, Newport 1.5,
Newport 2, Notchback and Newport 2.6), two
mallets (GoLo and GoLo S), three mid-lengths
(Newport Two Mid, GoLo Mid and GoLo S Mid)
and two long options (Big Sur, Big Sur S).
The new line from Scott Cameron and Titleist
fall in line with the modern, yet timeless models
of the past that satisfy the top professional
players in the world while also being a main
choice among serious amateur golfers.
“My ultimate goal when designing and building
a putter is to provide the golfer pure putting
confidence,”
said Master Putter Craftsman
Scotty Cameron. “Whether it is for the
best players in the world or golfers who aspire
to play their best, the performance and
preference options available in the new
Cameron Select line are my deepest yet.
These putters have all been tour-validated,
developed and refined through product and
player research conducted at our state-of-
the-art Cameron Putter Studio and on practice
greens around the world.”
All of the new Select putters include a Deep
Milled face, which contributes to a softer feel
and sound when putting, and --- save for the
Big Sur models --- are milled from soft, 303
stainless steel. The Big Sur model's heads are
made from high-grade aluminum. The Black
Mist finish is preferred by the many PGA Tour
players that use the Scotty Cameron line.
The most notable difference between the
Select family of putters and the Studio Select
line it replaces is in the "visual flow". When
looking down at the putter at the address
position, the Select family features designed
surfaces in the head to flow naturally into the
ground. The weighting system in the Select
models provides an improved balance and
stability and each putter includes a stepless
steel shaft to help golfers' sightline at address.

Each putter can also be adjusted to lie (plus-
or-minus two degrees) or loft (one degree)
from the standardized figures.
The new line's conventional models ---
Cameron Select Newport, Newport 1.5,
Newport 2, Notchback and the Newport 2.6 --
- set out to replace the former Cameron Studio
Select line. Each new conventional putter
features the unmistakable Black Mist finish with
red dot graphics and weights in the sole,
a,long with new Select black colored grip.
The GoLo Mallets and mid-sized putters are to
replace the Studio Select Kombi Mallet and
Kombi Mid lines, respectively. Both provide a
rounded profile with Cameron's Select
weighting technology.
The Select Big Sur and the Big Sur, of course,
replace the Studio Select Kombi Long line with
both putters built from aluminum and featuring
a stainless steel center sole weight bar to help
provide balance throughout the stroke.
