Scotty Cameron expands Cameron & Crown putter line
In August 2016, Scotty Cameron announced a new line of putters called Cameron & Crown that were designed specifically for an underserved group of golfers: those who use a 33-inch putter. The line included five signature Cameron models that were optimized for their shorter lengths, which is about 2 inches shorter than most putters.
“The release was well received,” Scotty Cameron said about the original Cameron & Crown launch, and the putter maker is adding to his short-putter line with four new models that will be available starting June 16 and sell for $379 each.
“I’ve always said that the length sets the eyes, and the eyes set the path,” Cameron said. “For those men, women and juniors who need a shorter putter, it gets their eyes in the right position to make a proper stroke while maintaining good posture and balance.”
The four models — Newport, Mallet 1, Futura 5MB, Futura 6M — are a mix of Cameron’s most popular standard-length putter models. The biggest difference, aside from their length and cosmetics, is that they use heavier putter heads that optimize their swing weight, feel and balance at their shorter lengths. They also use a smaller-diameter, grey Scotty Cameron Matador grips.
This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.
Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
Bud Cauley had >14 clubs in his bag when photographed prior to the Memorial Tournament.

- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”

Personally, I don’t think he runs the Cameron Brand anymore, he is the face of “Scotty Cameron Putters”, all this space age rocket stuff if run by the FILA marketing department (or who ever owns Cameron brand) who’s only guide is the excel files with the profit margins.
Make a stainless steel Newport or Newport 2 and many customers will return

If people are willing to pay $2K+ for basically ping clubs (pxg) then these will sell just fine

I am afraid but those just don’t fly of the shelf. You will never hear of this line again next year.

Any of these putters can be ordered in 33″ length normally. The biggest distinction between a regular SC and the Cameron & Crown line is the difference in color, sole plate design, and grip. Both putter lines cost the same amount from what I’ve seen (or at least the 6m which I plan to purchase). I agree that some people only purchase SC putters for status and do very little testing. However, that is not always the case and I will never judge someone just because of the equipment in their bag. I have tested several putters in a variety of lengths, but nothing has been able to knock my Odyssey White Hot Pro #9 out of the bag until I tried the SC 6m in 33″ with the mid-sized matador grip. It sets up easy every time and fits my stroke. Distance control, alignment, and strike location are much better compared to the Odyssey. Can’t say I too much care for the color choices on the C&C line and the fact I can’t order one direct with the mid-sized matador grip is dumb.

You’d think with a product as quality as Scotty Cameron putters that they wouldn’t need gimmicks like this. So just cutting a putter down 2 inches yourself makes it obsolete because the weighting, balance and feel are thrown off? Give me a break. I’ve cut mine down to 32.5 and I’ve putted better with it ever since.

Instead of expanding the line why doesn’t he make putters like the m2 in lefthanded?
