More than 20 PGA Tour players have used a Fastback 1 Studio Select putter from Scotty Cameron this season, and now the putter is available at retail.
The new Fastback model, which is a modified Newport style mallet with a more compact head, was in Richard S. Johnson's bag when he won the U.S. Bank Championship on the PGA Tour and in Brendon de Jonge's bag to win the Nationwide Tour's Xerox Classic.
The Fastback is a near face-balanced putter and has a double bend shaft with a half shaft of offset. It will retail for $325.
Twenty more players have used Scotty Cameron's new Squareback model, which as the name suggests, has a more square back flange than the Fastback.
Two more Studio Select models, the Newport 2.6 and the Newport 2.7, are also in the new introductions.
"The four new additions to the Studio Select line are a combination of our work with players at the Putter Studio and on the practice greens across the worldwide professional tours," said Cameron, who is Titleist's master putter designer.
"We listen to their feedback and understand their preferences in a putter. That is where we came up with the ideas for the mid mallet style Fastback and Squareback and the new neck options in the Newport 2.6 and 2.7. All eight models now available in the Studio Select line have been used and validated at the highest levels of competition."
