Scotty Cameron Select Fastback 2 Putter

Mallet Putter

The Select Fastback 2 is Scotty Cameron's answer for players who want mallet stability without giving up the feel of a milled putter. It landed in the 2019 Select lineup as the fuller-bodied sibling to the Fastback 1.5, with a rounded rear flange that pushes weight back and adds forgiveness on strikes off the sweet spot.

What makes this one different from a lot of mallets is the multi-material build. Cameron pairs a 303 stainless steel face and top with a 6061 aircraft aluminum sole insert, which lets him move weight low and to the perimeter while keeping the head from getting bloated. You get a mallet that behaves like a mallet on mishits but still gives you that dense, milled thock at impact that Cameron putters are known for.

The mid toe hang is the key spec here. This isn't a face-balanced mallet built for a dead-straight stroke, and it isn't a heel-shafted blade either. It sits in the middle, which means it wants a stroke with a little arc to it. If your putter opens and closes slightly on the way back and through, the Fastback 2 will feel natural in your hands.

Design

The head shape is a mid-mallet with a smooth, rounded back rather than the squared-off tail you see on the Squareback. A single sightline runs from the face to the back flange, giving you one clean reference to square the putter and start the ball online. There's no busy alignment scheme, just the line and the shape doing the work. Inside, the aluminum sole and stainless body split the weight so more mass sits toward the perimeter and low in the head. That raises the moment of inertia compared to a blade, so off-center hits hold their line and speed better. Cameron finishes it with his usual milled face, and the sound and feel stay firm and consistent across the face. The mid toe hang comes from where the shaft connects, and it's fixed, so you fit the putter to your stroke rather than adjusting the putter to fit you.

Who It's For

• Players with a slight-to-moderate arc stroke will get the most out of the mid toe hang.
• Anyone who wants more forgiveness than a Newport blade but still cares about milled feel and feedback.
• A single sightline is enough alignment help for you, and you don't need a heavy multi-line setup to aim.
• You're stepping into a mallet for the first time and want one that doesn't feel oversized or clunky at address.
• Feel-focused golfers who won't compromise on that firm, solid Cameron impact even in a stability-first head.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the toe hang on the Scotty Cameron Select Fastback 2?

It has mid toe hang, meaning the toe points down at roughly a 45-degree angle when you balance the shaft on your finger. That makes it best suited to a stroke with a moderate arc, where the face opens and closes a little through the motion. It's not face-balanced, so a straight-back-straight-through stroke isn't the ideal match.

How is the Fastback 2 different from the Fastback 1.5?

The Fastback 2 has a larger, fuller head with a more rounded rear flange, so it carries more perimeter weight and plays more forgiving. The 1.5 is a more compact mid-mallet that appeals to players who want a smaller footprint at address. Both share the multi-material aluminum and stainless build and mid toe hang, but the 2 is the bigger, more stable of the two.

What material is the Select Fastback 2 made from?

It uses a multi-material design. The face and body are 303 stainless steel, and the sole has a 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum insert. The lighter aluminum lets Cameron move weight low and to the perimeter for stability while the stainless keeps the firm, milled feel at impact.

Is the Fastback 2 a good putter for a beginner or high handicapper?

It can be, especially if you want mallet forgiveness in a head that still looks clean at address. The single sightline is easy to aim and the perimeter weighting helps on mishits. The main thing to check is your stroke type, since the mid toe hang rewards a slight arc. If you putt with a straight stroke, a face-balanced mallet may fit you better.

What alignment aid does the Fastback 2 use?

A single sightline runs across the top of the head from the face toward the back flange. It gives you one reference to square the face and start the ball on line, without the multiple lines or dots some mallets use. If you prefer a simple, uncluttered look over a heavy alignment setup, this suits that eye.
