In short
The Scotty Cameron Select Mallet 1 (2016) is a mallet putter built for stability and easier alignment. It has mid toe hang, with a built-in alignment aid.
The Select Mallet 1 sits in a strange spot in Scotty Cameron's 2016 lineup, and that's exactly what makes it interesting. Most mallets are built for golfers who push the putter straight back and straight through, so they come face-balanced. This one doesn't. It has mid toe hang, which means it wants to open and close through the stroke like a blade does. You get the bigger, more stable head of a mallet with the feel and release of a Newport.
Scotty milled it from 303 stainless steel, so the sound and feel are firm and clicky rather than soft. The head shape is a rounded, compact mallet, smaller than a big wing-style putter but with enough mass behind the face to settle nervous hands. A single sight line runs across the top to help you square the face at address.
This is a putter for the golfer who likes an arc stroke but wants more forgiveness than a heel-toe blade gives. If you've been fighting a Newport because your misses feel harsh on off-center hits, the Mallet 1 is the logical next step without abandoning the release you're used to.
The body is milled from 303 stainless, a softer stainless that Scotty uses across the Select line for its balance of feel and durability. The rounded mallet profile keeps the footprint modest, so it frames the ball more like a mid-size mallet than a wide, high-MOI slab. Mid toe hang is the signature spec here. Hang the shaft on your finger and the toe drops toward the ground at roughly a 45-degree angle, which tells you the face is designed to rotate through impact. A lone sight line sits on the flange for alignment. It's a simpler setup than the multi-line or dot patterns you find on larger mallets, and it suits players who trust their eyes over a busy top rail. The result is a head that looks clean at address and behaves like a blade once the stroke starts.
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.
