Scotty Cameron Select Mallet 2 Putter

Mallet Putter

The Select Mallet 2 was part of Scotty Cameron's 2016 Select line, the year Cameron finally gave the Select family two proper mallets instead of leaning on the GoLo and Fastback shapes. This is the larger, more shaped of the pair, with a wingback profile that puts real perimeter weight behind the face. If you liked the idea of a mallet but wanted it stamped with a Cameron cog and milled in Cameron's shop, this was the 2016 answer.

What makes it interesting is the toe hang. Most mallets this size are close to face-balanced, built for a straight-back-straight-through stroke. The Select Mallet 2 has mid toe hang, so it wants to open and close a little through the stroke. That combination, a stable head with an arc-friendly hang, is unusual, and it's the whole reason this putter exists.

At eight-plus years old now, it trades in the used market as a Cameron mallet that doesn't feel like the modern Phantom X or Super Select mallets. The head is milled 303 stainless with the multi-material construction of that era, and it sits somewhere between old-school feel and the forgiveness people buy a mallet for in the first place.

Design

The head is milled from 303 stainless steel and uses the multi-material approach Cameron leaned on across the 2016 Select mallets, pairing the steel body with lighter components to push mass out toward the perimeter and heel-toe extremes. The wingback shape isn't just for looks. Those rear wings are where the weight goes, which is what steadies the face on off-center hits and keeps the head from twisting as much on a mishit near the toe. A single sight line runs down the flange to frame the ball and square the face at address. The mid toe hang is the design decision that separates this from a face-balanced mallet, so the head rotates naturally if your stroke arcs. The milled face gives you the firm, clicky-but-solid feel Cameron putters are known for, a little more feedback than an insert mallet.

Who It's For

• You have a slight-to-moderate arc in your stroke and want mallet forgiveness without fighting a face-balanced head.
• The Cameron name and milled feel matter to you, and you'd rather buy a proven 2016 model used than a similar new mallet at full price.
• You miss toward the toe and want the extra stability of a wide, perimeter-weighted head to hold your lines.
• You want a real alignment aid to set the face square but don't need a full three-line or T-style sight system to do it.
• A dead-straight, robotic stroke fits a face-balanced mallet better, so this one isn't the pick if that's you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Scotty Cameron Select Mallet 2 face-balanced?

No. It has mid toe hang, which means the toe drops when you balance the shaft on your finger. That's the opposite of most big mallets. It's built for a stroke with some arc rather than a straight-back-straight-through motion, so a face-balanced mallet would suit a straighter stroke better.

What's the difference between the Select Mallet 1 and Mallet 2?

Both arrived in the 2016 Select line as Cameron's mallet options. The Mallet 2 is the larger, more shaped wingback head with more perimeter weighting and forgiveness. The Mallet 1 is the more compact of the two. If you want the bigger, more stable footprint, the Mallet 2 is the one.

What kind of stroke suits this putter?

A slight to moderate arc. The mid toe hang lets the face open and close naturally through the stroke, which matches players whose putter travels on an arc rather than a straight line. If your stroke is dead straight, you'll likely be fighting the head.

Does it have an alignment aid?

Yes. There's a single sight line on the flange to help you frame the ball and square the face at address. It's a clean, simple aid rather than a busy multi-line system, which suits players who find too many lines distracting.

Is a used Select Mallet 2 still worth buying in 2026?

If you want a milled Cameron mallet with real feel and don't need the latest tech, yes. The 303 stainless head and multi-material build hold up fine, and the used price is well under a new Phantom X or Super Select mallet. Just make sure the toe hang matches your stroke before you commit, since that's what sets this head apart.
