Scotty Cameron Select Fastback Putter

Mallet Putter

The Select Fastback landed in Scotty Cameron's 2018 refresh as the mallet for players who never quite trusted a mallet. It's a rounded, compact head milled from 303 stainless steel, and it doesn't ask you to change your stroke to use it. That last part matters more than the shape.

Most mallets are face-balanced, which suits a straight-back-straight-through stroke. The Fastback isn't. It has mid toe hang, so the face wants to rotate open and closed through the stroke the same way a blade does. If you have a slight arc and you've always putted a Newport but wanted a little more forgiveness behind the ball, this is the Cameron built for exactly that gap.

You pay Cameron money for it, and you get Cameron feel and fit-and-finish in return. The milling is clean, the balance point sits where the mid toe hang promises, and the single sight line does one job without cluttering the top. This is a putter for the arc-stroke golfer who wants mallet stability without a mallet's dead, blocked-open feel.

Design

The head is a solid mid-mallet milled from 303 stainless steel with a rounded back that gives the Fastback its name. Cameron pushed the balance to mid toe hang, which is deliberate and a little unusual for this shape. The result is a mallet that releases like a blade instead of staying square through impact, so the arc golfer keeps the timing they already own. Alignment is a single sight line running back from the top edge, no fussy dots or bars. It frames the ball and points where you aim. The sole carries customizable weights so the head can be dialed to your length, and the milled face delivers the firm, responsive feel Cameron putters are known for. Nothing here is trying to be flashy. It's a clean, functional mallet that reads more like a tour tool than a game-improvement gadget.

Who It's For

• You have a slight-to-moderate arc stroke and a face-balanced mallet feels blocked and unnatural in your hands.
• You've putted a blade for years but want more stability and a larger footprint behind the ball without relearning your release.
• A single, uncluttered sight line helps you aim better than busy multi-line alignment systems.
• You want Cameron milling, feel, and resale value and you're willing to pay for it.
• You putt best when the face rotates through impact rather than staying square the whole way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Select Fastback face-balanced or does it have toe hang?

It has mid toe hang, which is unusual for a mallet. Most mallets are face-balanced for straight strokes, but the Fastback is built to release like a blade. That makes it a fit for players with a slight arc, not a straight-back-straight-through stroke.

Who should choose the Fastback over the Select Newport in the same year?

Pick the Fastback if you like your Newport's arc-friendly feel but want a bigger, more forgiving head behind the ball. The mid toe hang keeps your stroke timing the same while adding mallet stability. If you want a pure blade footprint, stay with the Newport.

Does the Select Fastback have adjustable weights?

Yes. The sole carries customizable weights that can be swapped to match your putter length and personal feel preference. This lets a fitter tune the head weight rather than locking you into one fixed spec.

What kind of alignment aid does the Fastback use?

A single sight line running back from the top edge. It's a minimal setup with no dots, bars, or multi-line systems. If you aim better with a clean, uncluttered top, this suits you better than a heavily patterned mallet.

What is the Fastback head made of?

It's milled from 303 stainless steel, the same material Cameron uses across the Select line. You get a firm, responsive feel off the milled face and the fit-and-finish that holds resale value on the used market.
