Scotty Cameron Select GoLo Putter

Mallet Putter

The Select GoLo showed up in 2013 as Scotty Cameron's answer to a common problem. Golfers wanted the forgiveness of a mallet but putted with an arcing stroke that a face-balanced mallet fought against. The GoLo splits the difference. It's a rounded mid-mallet with real perimeter weighting, but it hangs mid toe rather than sitting dead face-balanced, so a slight-arc stroke feels natural behind it.

What makes this putter tick is the multi-material build. Cameron used a heavier stainless steel body paired with lighter 6061 aircraft aluminum in the sole and wings, pushing mass out to the edges without ballooning the overall head weight. The result is a putter that resists twisting on off-center hits but still swings like a Scotty and not like a boat anchor.

This is a putter for the golfer who has been told they need a mallet for stability but hates how face-balanced mallets feel through impact. The GoLo doesn't ask you to change your stroke. It meets an arc halfway.

Design

The head is a compact rounded mallet with two small wings framing the back cavity and a single sight line running from the topline to the rear. The two-tone finish separates the darker aluminum sole components from the milled steel body, so the alignment picture is clean without a lot of visual clutter. At address you get a rounded top profile that sits between a blade and a full mallet in size. Mid toe hang is the detail that sets this apart from most mallets. Face-balanced designs want to stay square through the stroke, which suits a straight-back-straight-through motion. The GoLo lets the face rotate slightly open on the way back and closed through impact, which is what an arcing stroke naturally does. The perimeter weighting still keeps the face stable on mishits, so you get mallet forgiveness with putter-like feel and rotation.

Who It's For

• You putt with a slight arc and have never gotten comfortable behind a face-balanced mallet
• Mishits off the heel or toe cost you distance control and you want the perimeter weighting to tighten that up
• A full-size mallet looks like too much at address but a blade gives you no help with stability
• You like Scotty Cameron feel and want that milled response in a more forgiving head shape

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Scotty Cameron Select GoLo face-balanced?

No. It has mid toe hang, which means the toe drops partway when you balance the shaft on your finger. That makes it a better match for a slight-arc stroke than a straight-back-straight-through stroke. If you putt with a strong arc or a very straight stroke, check the balance against your motion before committing.

What is the GoLo head made of?

It uses a multi-material design, a stainless steel body combined with lighter 6061 aircraft aluminum in the sole and wing sections. The mix lets Cameron move weight to the perimeter for stability while keeping the total head weight in a normal range.

How does the GoLo compare to a Newport 2?

The Newport 2 is a blade with more toe hang, built for players with a noticeable arc who want feel and workability over forgiveness. The GoLo is a rounded mallet with perimeter weighting and less toe hang, so it stays more stable on off-center hits. If you miss the center of the face often, the GoLo is the more forgiving of the two.

Does the Select GoLo have an alignment aid?

Yes. It has a single sight line running down the top of the head, framed by the two rear wings. It's a simple setup, no dots or multiple lines, which some players prefer because it keeps the face easy to square without visual clutter.

Is the 2013 Select GoLo still a good putter to buy used?

It holds up well. The milled construction and multi-material weighting age fine, and the mid toe hang plus mallet forgiveness combination is still uncommon. Check the face and sole for wear, confirm the length and grip suit you, and it's a solid used pickup for an arc putter who wants more stability than a blade gives.
