Scotty Cameron Super Select GoLo 6.5 Putter

Mallet Putter

The GoLo has been Scotty Cameron's answer for golfers who want a mallet but hate how most mallets feel dead and boxy. The Super Select GoLo 6.5 is the 2024 version, and it keeps the rounded, pill-shaped head that has always set the GoLo apart from the squared-off mallets everyone else builds. It is compact for a mallet. Sit it next to a big fang design and the GoLo looks almost like a mid-mallet, which is exactly why arc putters gravitate to it.

The body is milled from 303 stainless steel, and Cameron's Super Select update reworked the sole weighting to sit lower and more toward the perimeter. That drops the center of gravity and steadies the head without turning it into a shovel. What you get is a mallet that forgives a slightly off-center strike but still gives you the firm, clicky feedback Scotty Cameron putters are known for. This is not a soft, muted roll. You hear and feel exactly where you caught it.

Here is the spec that decides the fit. The GoLo 6.5 has mid toe hang, not the face-balanced setup most mallet buyers assume they are getting. That is unusual, and it is the whole point. Cameron built a forgiving mallet head and then balanced it for a stroke that opens and closes through the ball. If you release the putter and your path arcs, the 6.5 moves the way your hands already want to move it. If your stroke is a dead straight line, this is the wrong GoLo for you.

Design

The rounded head does more than look different. That pill shape lets Cameron push mass to the heel and toe while keeping the overall footprint small, so you get mallet stability in a head that still sets up compact behind the ball. The single sight line runs down the crown and gives you one clean reference to the hole, no busy dots or brackets crowding the top. Set the ball just ahead of that line and your eye tracks straight through to the target. Every bit of feel comes from the milled 303 stainless face, which is why the 6.5 rolls firmer than an insert mallet. The Super Select sole weighting sits low and out toward the edges, and the mid toe hang is baked into the neck and internal balance rather than added on. You notice it in the takeaway. The head wants to open going back and square up through impact, so a player with an arc gets a putter that works with the release instead of fighting to stay dead square.

Who It's For

• You have a moderate arc in your stroke and want a forgiving mallet that will not fight the release.
• You want mallet stability but hate how large fang and wingback heads look at address.
• Milled stainless feel matters to you and soft face inserts leave you guessing where you struck it.
• A single clean sight line helps you more than a busy alignment cage full of lines and dots.
• You are buying into Scotty Cameron's build quality and you want the balance tuned for an arc, not face-balanced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Super Select GoLo 6.5 face-balanced or toe hang?

It has mid toe hang, which surprises a lot of people who expect a mallet to be face-balanced. That makes it a fit for players with a moderate arc who feel the face open and close through the stroke. If your motion is a straight back-and-through with no rotation, a face-balanced putter will suit you better.

What is the GoLo 6.5 head made of?

The head is milled from 303 stainless steel, face and body included, with reworked sole weighting in the Super Select design to lower the center of gravity. There is no face insert, so the feel at impact is firm and precise rather than soft, which is what most Scotty Cameron players are after.

How is the GoLo 6.5 different from a full-size mallet?

The GoLo keeps a rounded, compact head instead of the wide squared or fang shapes on most mallets. You still get perimeter weighting and stability, but the footprint at address is smaller and less busy. It is a good middle ground for someone who wants mallet forgiveness without the bulky look.

Does the GoLo 6.5 have an alignment aid?

Yes, a single sight line runs down the crown to the face. It gives you one reference to square to the target rather than a grid of lines or dots. Set the ball just in front of it and your eye runs clean from the head to the hole.

Who should skip the GoLo 6.5?

If your stroke is dead straight with no arc, the mid toe hang will feel like it is closing the face on you, and a face-balanced mallet is the smarter pick. Players who want the softest possible roll off the face may also prefer an insert putter, since milled stainless plays firmer at impact.
