In short
The Scotty Cameron Special Select Fastback 1.5 (2020) is a mallet putter built for stability and easier alignment. It has mid toe hang, with a built-in alignment aid.
The Special Select Fastback 1.5 is Scotty Cameron's putter for the player who wants a blade stroke but a bit more head behind the ball. It is a mid-mallet, sitting between the Newport blades and the deeper Phantom mallets in both size and behavior. Cameron carried it into the 2020 Special Select line with a milled 303 stainless head and sole weighting, the construction that runs through the rest of the family. The idea is simple. Keep the compact, sit-behind-the-ball look that Cameron players like, and add stability for golfers whose blades wander off line.
The shape is where the putter earns its name. A rounded rear flange extends back from a squared front, and a single sightline runs across the top to tie your eye to the target. It reads more like a small mallet than a big one. The face is milled from solid stainless, so the ball comes off firm and rolls quickly, with no soft insert muffling the strike.
Mid toe hang is the detail that decides fit here. Balance the shaft on a finger and the toe settles a bit past center, not straight down like a full-toe-hang blade and not flat like a face-balanced mallet. That points to a putter built for a slight arc. If your stroke moves gently inside on the way back and closes a touch through impact, the Fastback 1.5 works with you rather than against you.
The head is a mid-mallet with a squared leading section and a fastback flange that rounds off at the rear. Cameron mills it from 303 stainless steel and sets weights into the sole, which pushes mass low and back for more stability than a blade without turning it into a full-size mallet. The single sightline on the topline gives you a clear reference to aim, and the extra depth behind the face frames the ball more than a Newport does. The milled face delivers the firm, dense feel and fast, true roll that separate a solid-milled Cameron from an insert design. Mid toe hang comes from the slant neck working with the head weighting. The shaft attaches so the face opens and closes through the stroke, but less aggressively than the full toe hang of a Newport 2. That makes the Fastback 1.5 a fit for a slight-to-moderate arc rather than a strong one. The Special Select finish is clean satin, and the whole package bridges two camps: the blade player who wants a little more forgiveness, and the mallet player who does not want to give up the compact look and feel.
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.
