Scotty Cameron Fastback 2 and Squareback 1.5 join Select lineup
In Scotty Cameron’s latest line extension, two new models join the the Select offerings.
Both the Fastback 2 and Squareback 1.5 feature multi-material construction, in which a 6061 aircraft aluminum face-sole component is joined with the 303 stainless steel body of the putter.
Scotty Cameron Fastback 2
Following the 2018 Select Fastback launch, players petitioned Cameron to add a plumbers neck option. In addition to the neck, with one shaft of offset, the rounded mid-mallet features a slightly thinner topline and slightly shorter face.
Scotty Cameron Squareback 1.5
The newest addition to the Squareback 1.5 line features a mini-slant neck that, according to the company, creates a more squared off look and more toe flow than the Select Squareback. Like the Fastback 2, the Squareback 1.5. Has a slightly thinner topline and shorter face than the Squareback.
Scotty Cameron himself had this to say about the release
“Extending the Select line was all about taking the feedback we got from players and incorporating it into new offerings. 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.”
Additional features of both putters
- two, customizable stainless steel heel-toe weights
- stepless steel shaft
- black & silver Matador Mid-size grip
- raw stainless steel finish with a unique bead blast “for a radiant yet glare resistant appearance”
- smaller, double- milled “cherry dots” on the sole
Availability
Select Fastback 2 and Squareback 1.5 putters will be available on Friday, Feb. 15 worldwide through Titleist authorized golf shops. MSRP: $399.
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.”

Those inserts are hideous. Glad I have a SC Fastback from way back when. It’s actually a pretty money putter.

All that money for an insert held by 3M double sided tape. There’s a sucker in every corner!

Yeah but you’ve gotta ask, if these insert ones are so good, why aren’t more Tour pros using them

For that kind of money you would hope they align the threads on the bottom of the putter for the weights, so that the numbers on the weights are parallel with the putter face!

What is his fascination with aluminum inserts? That fastback 2 would be in the bag if it was solid stainless.

Squareback 1.5 looks great. Bring back more slant necks, or “mini slant” or whatever you want to call it. Yes it still has the insert, but at least it’s aluminum so you get the MOI boost.

he’s been releasing ugly garbage for the last year, this is a slight improvement. SLIGHT.

Ok awesome. Step 1 of getting better neck options is complete. Now just get rid of the insert and we’ll be back in 2008 where we all want to be with our Scotty Cameron putters.

Except if it’s the terrylium one then we don’t mind that insert.
Just give us a remake of Koepka’s and we’ll be on our way

Obviously would love for these to come in LH, especially Squareback 1.5… Will scotty ever expand LH options beyond Newport 2 and Newport 3 in the select lineup?
