2025 Scotty Cameron Studio Style putters – ‘Most significant re-design of our blade line in years’
With the successor to his 2023 Super Select line of flagship blade designs, Scotty Cameron chose a throwback name: Studio Style, using the nomenclature in honor of the 20th anniversary of the original Super Select line.
Remember this iconic look?

Anyway, Cameron has reprised the Studio Style name for a line of 12 blades featuring carbon steel face inserts and chain-link face milling.
We’ve already spotted the flatsticks on tour and forum members have been intrigued (to say the least) by the inserts and milling pattern, as well as the line’s new shapes.
Titleist frames the 2025 Studio Style line as “a bold statement of the future with a nod to the past” in the company press release. In other words, classic Cameron shapes and craftsmanship blended with new materials, milling, and technology. That said, the putter models weren’t just copied and pasted from the 2023 Super Select line — Cameron and company emphasize a player feedback-driver “ground-up” redesign of each model.
Before digging into the dozen models in the 2025 Studio Style line, let’s look at the key technology they share.

2025 Scotty Cameron Studio Style: What’s new, key technology
SCS face insert
As the company highlights in a press release, “Carbon steel has long been revered by Scotty Cameron enthusiasts and tour players such as Jordan Spieth for its unmistakably soft sound and feel.” This, and a nod to the 20th anniversary of Scotty’s original GSS-inserted Studio Style line made Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) face inserts the choice for the 2025 design.
Cameron introduced a new electroless nickel plating process for the milled-in-the-USA Studio Style line to improve durability and resist corrosion, an issue commonly associated with carbon steel putters. This innovative plating retains the soft feel that players value, combining the benefits of carbon steel with enhanced longevity. All putter heads are precision-milled before inserts are securely integrated into the design using screws and aerospace-inspired vibration-damping technology. Surrounding the perimeter of each insert is an additional damping compound to deliver a soft, solid feel at impact.

Chain-link face milling technology
Months of rigorous testing at the Scotty Cameron Putter Studio and extensive feedback from professional players led to the development of the new chain-link face milling pattern. This innovation is designed to enhance the connection between sound and feel, according the the company. The pattern produces a softer sensation at impact compared to previous generations, while optimizing roll characteristics and speed control. Scotty says these refinements make the putter particularly effective for confidently executing short to mid-range putts, where precision and consistent speed are critical, such as when trying to minimize the effect of break.
New mid-mallet designs
The 2025 lineup introduces redesigned mid-mallet putters, specifically the Fastback and Squareback models. These compact yet stable designs utilize “ring-weighted” or perimeter-weighted technology to enhance forgiveness and stability. Constructed from a combination of 303 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft aluminum, the putters also feature the new Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert. Additionally, a high-contrast, multi-material alignment system helps golfers maintain a square face throughout their stroke, ensuring better accuracy and consistency.
Long design models
Two counterbalanced Long Design models are also part of the new collection, available in Fastback and Squareback 2 configurations. These putters prioritize maximum stability, incorporating a stiffer shaft, heavier tungsten head weights, and a 17-inch non-tapered grip. This combination supports traditional putting techniques while reducing unwanted movement during the stroke, offering an approachable and balanced design for players seeking additional control.
Studio Style weighting and shafts
Each putter in the Studio Style lineup is equipped with adjustable performance weighting, featuring two heel-toe weights made from either tungsten or stainless steel, depending on the model. The putters also include stepless steel shafts, which enhance the aesthetic while maintaining a smooth and responsive feel throughout the stroke.
New Full Contact Slim grip
The Full Contact Slim grip debuts with this 2025 launch as a complement to the new chain-link face milling pattern. With a paddle-style design, this grip offers a flat top and a contoured profile for enhanced comfort and hand alignment. The chain-link texture provides a tactile connection that improves feedback and encourages consistent hand placement.
Finish and graphics
The putter heads in the 2025 Studio Style series feature a satin mist finish, which provides a durable, glare-resistant surface. Components made from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum are anodized with a bright, clear finish for a modern aesthetic. Iconic design elements, such as Scotty Cameron’s three-dot theme in cherry red translucent paint (aka cherry bombs) and the engraved 7 Point Crown, are prominently featured. Sightlines and additional engravings are accented with jet black, gold, and cherry red paint.

2025 Scotty Cameron Studio Select: Model details
We’ll let the folks at Scotty Cameron describe each model.
Studio Style Newport: “Designed, precision milled and assembled in the USA from 303 stainless steel, this classic blade with familiar rounded contours includes a Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) face insert, an I-beam plumbing neck, a misted stainless steel finish and adjustable tungsten performance sole weights.”

Studio Style Newport Plus: “Slightly wider-bodied with the alignment cues associated with blade putters, this precision milled stainless steel putter includes a plumbing neck, the line’s new SCS face insert with chain-link face milling, and stainless steel sole weights integrated with a 6061 aluminum sole plate for increased MOI.”

Studio Style Newport 2: “This iconic putter shape steps into its next era with refined, angular contours, a new SCS face insert, chain-link face milling technology and a slightly thicker topline. It also features customizable tungsten sole weights, a refined tri-sole design and an I-beam plumbing neck; also available left-handed.”

Studio Style Newport 2 Plus: “Slightly wider than a Newport 2 and narrower than a Squareback 2, the Newport 2 Plus is milled from 303 stainless steel and features a soft SCS insert. The putter is integrated as well with a 6061 aircraft grade aluminum sole plate for higher MOI and increased stability, along with customizable stainless steel sole weights for balance and feel.”
Studio Style Newport 2.5 Plus: “Crafted like the Newport 2 Plus but with an I-beam-style jet neck for increased toe flow, this shape features a soft SCS face insert, improved damping technology and chain-link face milling, as well as an integrated 6061 aircraft grade aluminum sole plate for efficient perimeter weighting, increasing MOI and enhancing balance; also available left-handed.”
Studio Style Squareback: “Completely re-designed with a refined sole draft angle and new design features that promote square alignment, this near-face balanced model with a mid-bend shaft configuration delivers soft sound and feel with its SCS face insert and new chain-link face milling technology. “

Studio Style Squareback 2: “This multi-material model continues its evolution as a mid-mallet putter with its familiar I-beam plumbing neck, superior alignment properties from its angular features and a new heel-toe inlay, and an improved sole draft angle, which promotes a square setup. It delivers soft feel with its SCS insert, and it is milled from 303 stainless steel and integrated with a 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum sole plate for balanced weight distribution.”

Studio Style Squareback 2 Long Design: “Built longer at 38 inches and heavier with 25-gram tungsten sole weights and a 17-inch, 135-gram pistol-style grip as well as a longer, stiffer shaft, this model is designed to help quiet the player’s hands and engage the shoulders.”
Studio Style Fastback: “This updated rounded mid-mallet includes a mid-bend shaft for near-face balanced performance and features a new heel-toe inlay for enhanced two-tone alignment and higher MOI via an integrated 6061 aircraft aluminum sole plate. Its SCS face insert and chain-link face milling technology deliver soft sound and feel.”

Studio Style Fastback Long Design: “Built for players looking to stabilize the putting stroke, this model is purposely designed at 38 inches and made heavier with 25-gram tungsten sole weights, a 17-inch, 135-gram pistol-style grip and a longer, stiffer mid-bend shaft, all helping to quiet the player’s hands and engage the shoulders.”
Studio Style Fastback 1.5: “Differentiated by its toe-flow promoting I-beam jet neck offering ¾ shaft offset, this model returns as a completely re-designed mid-mallet putter made for players seeking the feel of a blade with the performance of a compact mallet, driven by its SCS face insert and two-tone perpendicular alignment; also available left-handed.”
Studio Style Catalina: “In a slightly-wider-than-standard, higher-MOI blade size with a shaft-over-spud design and modern single bend shaft for near-face balanced performance, this new model with a throwback name offers soft sound, superior feel and unmatched performance with its SCS face insert; also available left-handed.”
What Scotty Cameron says about the 2025 Studio Style line
Scotty Cameron: “The new Studio Style putters offer the most significant re-design of our blade line in years. While the name is a throwback, the technology, design and manufacturing methods are modern and brand new. Designed to produce remarkable feel and consistent performance, the new Studio Carbon Steel insert ensures softer sound for a confident roll on every putt. The chain-link face milling contributes to a new level of feel with roll performance that will give players more confidence standing over any putt. We also completely re-designed the mid-mallets with new high-contrast alignment and stability to give both blade and mallet players new high performance options. We are very excited for players to experience the feel of the new Studio Style putters.”
Senior Director of Putter R&D, Austie Rollinson: “For the new Studio Style putter line, our team has worked tirelessly, with tour input, to develop a unique method of tuning sound and feel with the development of the Studio Carbon Steel insert. It has a greater damping capacity than Teryllium, stainless steel and aluminum. By adding a milled texture—called chain-link face milling—to further soften the sound at impact, we are introducing a next-generation blade and mid-mallet putter family with new technology and methods of alignment, all designed to maximize feel and enhance performance.”

TaylorMade MySpider Tour and Tour X: More customizable build options now available
TaylorMade Golf’s MySpider program underwent a substantial overhaul over the last month. Firstly, the company launched the option to customize the Spider ZT model, and now the program has returned with the MySpider Tour and MySpider Tour X.
The revamped page now gives golfers complete control over every visual and functional detail of their putter on the popular Tour and Tour X head, with every cosmetic idea thought of. In MySpider Tour, golfers can choose from four head finishes, 16 paint fill colors, nine Surlyn face insert colors, three aluminum insert options, six sightline configurations, and four hosel options — L-neck, small slant, double bend, center shaft. Six sightline options are available in MySpider Tour, including the optically engineered True Path alignment system. MySpider Tour X gives builders the option of four head finishes, four hosel configurations, and five sightline options, also including True Path alignment.
One of the more interesting features of the new MySpider program is the availability of three distinct face insert options. Along with the usual Surlyn Pure Roll insert trusted by Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, which can be customized from nine colors, golfers can now also select firmer options. Two are offered with the black aluminum Pure Roll insert, slightly firmer than the traditional insert, or for the firmest feel, golfers can choose from two colors of milled aluminum inserts.

Another fun addition to the MySpider Tour is the ability to use the “Tommy Sightline.” The custom alignment aid design, which was first drawn onto Tommy Fleetwood’s putter by PGA Tour Rep James Holley, is based on the milled sightline on his Spider ZT head. There are five shorter lines on the left and right of a longer central line serving as the traditional short line alignment aid.

Then and now: Comparing Rory McIlroy’s current setup to his record-breaking 2019 Canadian Open victory
In Rory McIlroy’s first appearance at the 2019 RBC Canadian Open, he crushed the record books to earn his 16th PGA Tour title in dominating fashion, winning by seven shots over Shane Lowry and Webb Simpson.
McIlroy’s score of 22-under-par 258 is the lowest 72-hole score to date at the Canadian Open, and his closing 61 is also the best final-round score in the history of one of golf’s oldest tournaments. Finally, with his win in 2019, McIlroy became only the sixth player to win the career Triple Crown, adding to his victories at the U.S. Open in 2011 and The Open Championship in 2014, joining Tommy Armour, Walter Hagen, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino and Tiger Woods in a coveted list.
So, with that, why not compare his current setup to the clubs he used to break all the records?
Driver
2019: TaylorMade M5 (9 degrees), Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 70 TX
2026: TaylorMade Qi4D (9 degrees @8), Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 7X (45 5/8 inches)

McIroy led the Tour in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee in 2019; he’s doing the same in 2026. Between now and then, McIlroy has switched from the Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 70 TX (a shaft with slightly more feeling in the tip) to the original Fujikura Ventus Black 7X, having just made the change to the heavier version from playing the 60X.
What’s interesting about McIlroy’s 2019 setup is that the weighting on his driver is actually set in the high-draw setting, using the T-Track weighting system, whereas in the Qi4D, he’s currently using a heavily rear-weighted setup. (Two 13-gram weights in the rear and only two 4-gram front weights.)
The TaylorMade M5 driver he played in during his Canadian Open win was the company’s first head that they claimed to design to initially exceed the USGA’s COR limit, and then injected with tuning resin to bring it back in bounds.
Fairway woods
2019: TaylorMade M6 3-wood (15 degrees), Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 80 TX; TaylorMade M5 5-wood (19 degrees), Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 90 TX
2026: TaylorMade Qi4D 3-wood (15 degrees), Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 8X; TaylorMade Qi4D 5-wood (18 degrees), Shaft: Fujikura Ventus Black 9X

The TaylorMade M6 fairway wood that McIlroy was using during the 2019 season is still in the bag of some of the best golfers on Tour in 2026. Just check out Justin Rose’s winning setup from the Farmers Insurance Open earlier this year. This year, though, McIlroy has still been searching for his top-end-of-the-bag setup, having played both the new Qi4D and the Qi10, which he won the Masters with.

The same shaft swap can be seen in the fairway woods as the driver, along with slightly less loft on the 5-wood.
Irons
2019: TaylorMade P750 (4) Buy here, TaylorMade P730 (5-9), Shafts: Project X 7.0
2026: TaylorMade P760 (4), TaylorMade Rors Proto (5-9), Shafts: Project X 7.0

The biggest difference between McIlroy’s custom set and the stock P730s is the groove design. While the P730s were constructed with 14 MX-9 grooves on their milled faces, McIlroy’s proto heads instead use the higher-spinning, 16-groove layout of the TW2 grooves. Other big differences between the sets are that McIlroy’s 7- and 8-irons have thinner toplines, are 1 degree stronger in loft, and are 1/4 inch longer than the original P730 builds.
With McIlroy’s 4-iron, the switch from P750 to P760 sees a transition to a two-piece construction with Speed Foam in it, which allows McIlroy to launch the ball slightly higher, with more workability.
Wedges
2019: TaylorMade Milled Grind (48-09SB), TaylorMade MG Hi-Toe (52-09SB, 56-09SB, 60-LB09), Shafts: Project X Rifle 6.5
2026: TaylorMade MG5 (46-09SB, 50-09SB, 54-11SB, 60-08LB @61), Shafts: Project X 6.5 (46-54), Project X 6.5 Wedge (60)

Between 2019 and 2026, McIlroy’s focus on his short game has been much more apparent. It was the reason why he switched back to the TP5 golf ball, to help with launch, spin and control with his wedges leading up to his career Grand Slam victory in 2025. The most apparent changes to McIlroy’s wedge setup are his lofts and bounce. He’s slowly delofted his pitching to a sand wedge, but has increased the loft on the lob wedge, bending his current 60-degree to 61. With that, adding more loft to his lob wedge also slightly increases the bounce and leading-edge sit point, so, as a result, he plays a lower-bounce lob wedge compared to 2019. The MG5 wedges are also softer than the first Milled Grind option from 2019. McIlroy also no longer plays the full-face grooves found on the Hi-Toe.
Putter
2019: TaylorMade Spider X
2026: TaylorMade Spider Tour X

Notice anything similar. Yes, the copper finish on Rory McIlroy’s Spider X putter in 2019 is a slightly more reflective finish than the recently released torched PVD finish. McIlroy was using the True Path alignment system, but now uses only a single white sightline.
Ball
2019: 2019 TaylorMade TP5 (#22)
2026: 2025 TaylorMade TP5 (RORS)
As mentioned above, McIlroy had transitioned from the TP5 to TP5x golf ball since his victory in Canada in 2019, but now is black with the same style of golf ball as his victory at Hamilton Golf & Country Club.
Grips
2019: Golf Pride Tour Velvet Cord
2026: Golf Pride MCC
Interesting, McIlroy actually used Golf Pride’s Tour Velvet Cord grips during his victory in 2019 (it was during a 2+ year switch to the corded TV) as opposed to his usual MCC grips, which he has played for most of his career.
