Scotty Cameron is aiming to build on the success of 2020’s Special Select line with the introduction of 10 new Super Select models for 2023.
Scotty has pushed his blade and mid-mallet designs even further with new milling techniques, refined shapes, improved multi-material construction and cutting-edge weight distribution.
Six of the new models (MAP $449) – Super Select Newport, Newport Plus, Newport 2, Newport 2 Plus, Newport 2.5 Plus and Squareback 2 – will be available worldwide from March 17. The Newport 2 and Newport 2.5 Plus models will also be offered in left-handed options.
Four additional models will be released on May 19 – including the Super Select Fastback 1.5, Del Mar and the new GOLO 6 and GOLO 6.5 models. The Del Mar and GOLO 6.5 models will be offered in left-handed too.
Scotty said: “With the new Super Select putters, the name just fits. I’ve been creating putters for a long time, and after each line rolls out and gets played, new ideas emerge. There’s always a better way. I try to make all the refinements I can to bring more performance to players, to give them more confidence and, in the end, hopefully more success.
“Key to the 2023 Super Select family are the new Plus models, which I introduced on tour last year, then crafted into a few limited release models to really showcase this new higher-MOI blade design. Additionally, I’ve brought back the GOLO name and shape in a new size. Familiar models like our Newport, Newport 2, Squareback 2, Fastback 1.5 and Del Mar all have our new dual-milling for a great feel off the face that combines the feel of a deep mill with the consistency across the face of mid-mill. Inspired by putters made for tour professionals, I have introduced new I-beam necks and various cosmetic upgrades to the finish and graphics. I’ve tried in every way to make these Super Select putters live up to their name.”
Based on feedback from the game’s best players, and with design refinement at his San Diego County Putter Studio, Scotty has created new blade and mid-mallet models, refined milling methods, revamped neck styles, developed better multi-material construction and engineered weight distribution for the 2023 putters.
Meanwhile, the new Plus models deliver mallet-like forgiveness and stability in slim, blade-like shapes. Leveraging the multi-material construction of precision milled 303 stainless steel heads and 6061 aircraft aluminium sole plates, weight from the centre of the putter head has been repositioned around the perimeter to increase stability. This new design gives players a familiar, blade-like view from address while increasing MOI.
The Super Select line also introduces a new dual-milled face technology that takes sound, feel and feedback to a new level – combining the softness of deep-milled putters with the feedback, consistency and roll of Scotty’s more recent mid-milled offerings. After a deep-milled pass, a second pass of the mill levels the peaks of the face milling, producing a flatter, more consistent surface for the ball to contact the face. Brought over from Scotty Cameron’s tour prototypes, this new face technology brings a tour-inspired look and feel to the Super Select line, along with the line’s most consistent face to-date.
Apart from the Super Select Del Mar and GOLO 6 models, each Super Select putter features a new I-beam neck design. This gives each model a racier, industrial look while allowing for the removal and targeted repositioning of weight from the neck to the heel and toe of the putter head. This, coupled with a strategically placed notch on the models with a plumbing neck – positioned for precise lie adjustment – and Scotty’s larger signature milled dots in the pocket, allowed additional weight to be precisely redistributed to the toe and heel areas where it will most benefit players.
Each new Super Select putter incorporates performance weighting technology with customisable sole weights milled from either 303 stainless steel or heavier tungsten for the Newport and Newport 2 models. Used in conjunction with purpose-built aluminium sole plates on all Plus, mid-mallet and GOLO models, Scotty’s performance weighting concept allows for optimal weight distribution and higher MOI so each putter can achieve ideal balance and proper performance at every length.
The Super Select models are available in 33ins, 34ins and 35ins lengths, each with a specific neck/shaft configuration (either flow, jet, plumbing or shaft-over spud). Each also features performance weighting with two customisable heel-toe weights (tungsten or stainless steel based on model) and stepless steel shafts. A grip specific to each model further dials in swing weight, balance and in-hand feel.
