Scotty Cameron Select Squareback 2 Putter

Mallet Putter

The Select Squareback 2 is Scotty Cameron's answer for the golfer who wants mallet forgiveness but still swings the putter on an arc. Most mallets this size come face-balanced, which fights a rotating stroke. This one has mid toe hang, so if your putter opens on the way back and closes through the ball, the head works with you instead of against you. That combination is the whole point of the design.

The shape is a compact mallet with a squared-off back and two small wings that frame the ball. It's milled from 303 stainless steel with aircraft-grade aluminum in the sole and back, which is how Cameron gets the perimeter weight out to the edges without making the whole head feel heavy. You get the stability of a mallet with a head that still looks like something a player would gravitate to, not a giant slab of metal.

This is a 2019 release from the Select family, sitting between the traditional blades and the full high-MOI mallets. If you've been playing a blade and want more help on off-center hits without giving up the feel and stroke you already trust, this is the putter that lets you make that jump without relearning your entire motion.

Design

The single sight line runs across the flange between the two wings, giving you a clean way to aim without a busy grid of lines cluttering the top. The dual-milled face produces a firm, responsive click at impact that a lot of Cameron players prefer over softer inserts, and it holds the ball on line off the center of the face. Weight is pushed to the perimeter through the aluminum components, which raises the MOI compared to a blade and keeps the face steadier on strikes toward the toe or heel. The mid toe hang comes from how the shaft connects to the head, and it's the detail that separates this from a standard face-balanced mallet. Players with a slight to moderate arc get a head that releases naturally through the stroke.

Who It's For

• You putt with a slight to moderate arc and want a mallet that matches that stroke instead of resisting it.
• You're moving up from a blade and want more forgiveness on mishits without a total change in feel.
• You prefer a firm, clicky impact and a single clean sight line over softer inserts and busy alignment grids.
• You want a mid-size mallet that still looks like a player's putter at address, not an oversized high-MOI head.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Scotty Cameron Squareback 2 face-balanced or toe hang?

It has mid toe hang, not face balance. That's unusual for a mallet and it's the reason this putter suits golfers with an arc in their stroke. If your putter face opens going back and closes coming through, the mid toe hang lets the head release the way your hands want it to.

What's the difference between the Squareback 1.5 and the Squareback 2?

Both come from the 2018 to 2019 Select line and share the milled construction, but the Squareback 2 is the larger, more stable of the two. The 1.5 is closer to a compact mid-mallet, while the 2 pushes more weight to the wings for higher forgiveness. Pick the 2 if you want the extra stability.

What kind of stroke fits the Squareback 2?

A slight to moderate arc stroke. The mid toe hang means the head wants to rotate a little through impact, so a straight-back-straight-through putter will fight it. If you already play a blade with some arc and want more forgiveness, this is a natural fit.

Does the Squareback 2 have an alignment aid?

Yes. There's a single sight line on the flange running between the two wings. It gives you a clear reference to square the face without the cluttered look of multiple lines, which is why players who like a clean top view tend to get along with it.

What is the Squareback 2 made of?

The head is milled from 303 stainless steel with aircraft-grade aluminum used in the sole and back sections. Mixing the two metals lets Cameron move weight to the perimeter for a higher MOI while keeping the overall head size in check. The face is dual-milled for a firm, consistent roll.
