Mallet Putter
The Super Select Fastback 1.5 is Scotty Cameron's answer to golfers who want a mallet's stability without giving up the look and feel of a blade. It's a compact mid-mallet, milled from 303 stainless steel, and it sits in the bag as the middle option in the Fastback family. Not as rounded and forgiving as a full mallet, not as small as the standard Fastback, it lands right in between.
What sets the 1.5 apart from the base Fastback is the neck. Cameron gave it a slight slant that produces mid toe hang, so this putter rewards a stroke with some arc to it. If your putter face rotates open on the way back and closes through impact, the 1.5 was built for you. The 303 stainless body gives it that dense, muted click Cameron putters are known for, and the two tungsten sole weights are matched to head length and shaft to keep the balance dialed in.
Price is what it is with Scotty Cameron. You're paying for milling quality, the finish, and the name. The good news is the Super Select line earns most of it. This is a putter you buy once and keep.
Design
The Fastback 1.5 shape is a wing-back mallet with clean, squared-off lines. The 303 stainless steel is milled front to back, and the face carries Cameron's deep-milled pattern that softens the strike a touch without deadening it. A single sight line runs across the flange, giving you one clear reference to aim without the busy alignment framing you get on bigger mallets. The mid slant neck is the technical heart of this model. It creates mid toe hang, which suits an arcing stroke far better than a face-balanced setup would. Two tungsten weights sit in the sole, sized to the head so the putter feels balanced through the stroke rather than heavy in the hands. The finish is a muted silver that cuts glare at address, and the whole package looks understated in a way that ages well.
Who It's For
- You have a moderate arc in your stroke and want a putter whose toe hang matches it instead of fighting it.
- You like the security of a mallet but can't stand how large most of them look at address.
- Feel matters to you, and the soft-but-solid response of milled 303 stainless is what you're after.
- You want one clean sight line for aiming, not a cage of alignment lines.
- You're comfortable paying a premium for milling and finish quality that holds up over years.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What's the difference between the Fastback and the Fastback 1.5?
- The head shape is basically the same compact mallet, but the neck is different. The standard Fastback has a neck geared toward less toe hang, while the 1.5 uses a slight slant neck that gives it mid toe hang. If your stroke has a noticeable arc, the 1.5 is the one that fits it.
- Is the Super Select Fastback 1.5 face-balanced?
- No. It has mid toe hang, meaning the toe points partway down when you balance the shaft on your finger. That makes it a poor match for a straight-back-straight-through stroke and a good match for a stroke that opens and closes the face through the ball.
- Does it have a face insert or a milled face?
- It's a fully milled 303 stainless steel head with a deep-milled face pattern. There's no polymer insert. The feel is firm and solid with a muted response, which is what most Scotty Cameron players are chasing.
- Are the sole weights adjustable?
- The two tungsten sole weights are matched to the head length and shaft at build, so they're set for balance rather than meant for constant tinkering. A Cameron fitter can swap them if you're changing shaft length, but most golfers leave them alone.
- Who should skip this putter?
- If you putt with a dead-straight stroke, you'll fight the mid toe hang and be better off with a face-balanced mallet. And if you want maximum forgiveness on off-center hits, a larger, higher-MOI mallet will help more than this compact shape does.
