In short
The Scotty Cameron Select Flowback 5 (2019) is a mallet putter built for stability and easier alignment. It has mid toe hang, with a built-in alignment aid.
The Select Flowback 5 sits in a weird, useful middle ground. It looks like a mallet from address, with a rounded body and short flanges behind the face, but it swings more like a blade. That comes down to the mid toe hang, which is rare for a head this size. Most mallets are close to face balanced. This one wants to open and close through the stroke, so it fits a player who has a bit of arc and doesn't want to fight the putter to release it.
Scotty milled it from 303 stainless steel, and you feel that the moment you make contact. Firm but not harsh, with a solid click off the face that gives you good distance feedback on longer putts. The 2019 Flowback 5 came out of the Select line refresh, and the shaping is cleaner and a touch more compact than the older mid-mallets in the family.
This is a putter for someone who likes the confidence of a mallet but strokes the ball like a blade player. If you already gravitate toward Newport-style heads and just want a little more forgiveness without going full face-balanced, the Flowback 5 is the one to look at.
The head is a compact mid-mallet with two short wings flanking a cavity behind the milled face. A single sightline runs down the top of the crown, and it lines up cleanly against the rounded back edge. There's no busy alignment graphic here, just enough to frame the ball and set your aim without clutter. The 303 stainless build gives it a heftier, more planted feel than a lightweight aluminum mallet. Weight sits low and slightly toward the perimeter, which is where the added stability over a straight blade comes from. But the mid toe hang keeps the toe dropping through impact, so the face rotates naturally. That combination is the whole point of this design. You get a bit more MOI than a Newport, without the dead, hold-it-square feel that turns off arc-stroke players.
Scotty Cameron putters are CNC milled from a single block of steel in Carlsbad, California. The attention to detail in weight distribution, sole geometry, and face milling creates a feel that's considered the benchmark in professional golf.
