Scotty Cameron Blade Putters are for Arc Putting Strokes
Scotty Cameron Special Select Newport 2.5 Putter
Blade putters are the most classic style in the game, and Scotty Cameron blade putters are quite popular on the PGA Tour. Highly skilled golfers who have arced strokes tend to carry blade putters in their bag because they have greater control over the putter.
Blade Putter Pros and Cons:
- Pros
- Increased feel, especially on fast greens
- Lighter weight leads to stroke consistency
- A clean look
- Cons
- Small sweet spot, which leads to less control around greens if not hit squarely

- Matt Jones - 2021 Honda Classic

Scotty Cameron Mallet Putters are for Straight Putting Strokes
Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5.5 Putter
Mallet putters have increased in popularity over the years due to their improved forgiveness, and Scotty Cameron mallet putters are nothing short of perfection. Their innovation has led to several new mallet shapes, like the wingback mallet. These heavier putters help straight putting strokes stay on track.
Mallet Putter Pros and Cons:
- Pros
- More forgiveness
- More options and lines for alignment
- Heavier weight keeps putter stroke consistent and square
- Cons
- Can be difficult to control on fast greens due to heavy weight

- Max Homa - 2021 Genesis Invitational
Scotty Cameron Mid-Mallet Putters are a Beautiful Balance
Scotty Cameron Special Select Flowback 5.5 Putter
If you can’t decide between a blade and mallet putter, giving a Scotty Cameron mid-mallet putter is your best choice. The putter head doesn’t look as thin as a blade, nor as large as a mallet. In fact, even the weight is balanced between the two.
Mid-Mallet Putter Pros and Cons:
- Pros
- Blade-like feel and control
- Mallet-like weight for greater stroke consistency
- Still has space for more alignment aids
- Can work for either stroke type depending on toe hang
- Cons
- Less control than a blade putter
- Less stability than a mallet putter
Recent Winners on the PGA Tour with a Scotty Cameron Mid-Mallet Putter:
- Joel Dahmen - 2021 Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship
- Robert Streb - 2020 RSM Classic
