Mallet Putter
The Super Select Del Mar sits in a strange, useful middle ground. It's built like a mallet but plays with the feel of a blade, and that combination is exactly why it has stuck around in Scotty Cameron's lineup for so long. If you've ever wanted the extra stability of a bigger head without giving up the arc your hands already know, this is the putter that gets you there.
Scotty gave the 2024 Super Select line a heavier stainless steel body paired with an aluminum sole plate, and the weight distribution shows up in how the head hangs and swings. Mid toe hang means the face wants to open and close through the stroke, so this rewards a golfer who releases the putter rather than holding the face square the whole way. It's not a face-balanced armlock alternative. It's a putter for people who make strokes.
The single sightline down the flange keeps aiming simple. You set the line, you trust it, you go. There's nothing busy about the top of this head, and for a lot of players that quiet look is worth more than any performance claim on a spec sheet.
Design
The Del Mar shape is a rounded mid-mallet, wider than a blade but far from the big square footprints you see in high-MOI putters. The stainless steel body carries most of the mass low and central, and the milled aluminum sole plate lets Scotty tune the balance and the sound. You get a firm, muted thock at impact that reads as solid without feeling dead. Mid toe hang is the number that tells you who this fits. With the shaft axis running through part of the head's mass, the toe drops when you balance it on your finger, which matches a stroke that arcs slightly inside on the backswing and releases through. The lone sightline runs from the top edge back across the flange, and there's no secondary alignment clutter to argue with it.
Who It's For
- You have a slight-to-moderate arc stroke and release the putter head rather than dragging the face square through impact.
- You want a mallet's steadiness but can't stand the bulky look of a full high-MOI head sitting behind the ball.
- A single clean sightline helps you commit to your line more than a busy grid of alignment marks does.
- You care about feel and sound at impact and are willing to pay Scotty Cameron money to get the milled feedback you like.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Super Select Del Mar face-balanced or toe hang?
- It's mid toe hang, not face-balanced. Balance it on your finger and the toe drops toward the floor at roughly a 45 degree angle. That makes it a match for a slight-to-moderate arc stroke, not a straight-back-straight-through motion. If you putt with almost no arc, look at a more face-balanced Scotty like the Phantom line instead.
- What's the difference between the Del Mar and a blade like the Newport 2?
- The Del Mar is a rounded mid-mallet with more heel-to-toe stability, so off-center putts hold their line a bit better than they would on a pure blade. The Newport 2 is a traditional blade with a smaller, more compact head. Both use toe hang and both arc, but the Del Mar gives you slightly more forgiveness and a fuller look at address.
- Does the aluminum sole plate change how it feels?
- Yes. Pairing the lighter aluminum sole with the heavier stainless steel body lets Scotty move mass around and dial in the sound. The result is a firm, muted feel at impact rather than the clicky response you get from some lighter mallets. It reads solid without feeling like you're hitting a rock.
- What length and head weight should I get?
- Stock lengths run 33, 34, and 35 inches, with 34 being the most common fit for players around 5-foot-9 to 6-foot. Scotty's adjustable sole weights let you tune the head weight to your stroke tempo and green speeds. Faster greens and a smoother tempo usually pair well with lighter weights, slower greens with heavier ones. A fitting is worth it here.
- Is the single sightline enough to aim with?
- For most players, yes. The one line running down the flange gives you a clear reference without the visual noise of multiple marks or a full alignment cavity. If you struggle to aim and rely heavily on lines to square the face, you might prefer a putter with a longer sightline or a two-ball style aid. Golfers who trust their setup tend to love how clean this top looks.
