Mallet Putter
The Squareback 2 is the putter for golfers who love the confidence of a mallet but can't stand how most mallets feel on a slight arc. That's the whole pitch. Scotty Cameron gave this 2023 Super Select model mid toe hang instead of the face-balanced setup you find on nearly every other mallet, and that one decision changes who should be looking at it.
The Super Select line was a reset for Cameron. He went back to a single-piece milled 6061 aluminum face and pinned it into a stainless body, then added two adjustable sole weights so the head could be dialed to your length and swing weight. The Squareback 2 sits in the middle of the family, a compact mid-mallet that reads more like a blade at address than a big high-MOI shape.
At around 350 to 360 grams of head weight and a mid-hang balance, this is not a max-forgiveness bulldozer. It's a mallet with manners, built for a golfer whose hands still work through the stroke.
Design
The shape is a rounded squareback with a single sightline running front to back across the flange. No fussy graphics, no double lines, just one dot-and-line to square the face and get moving. The 6061 aluminum milled face gives it that firm-but-soft click Cameron players chase, and it's noticeably crisper than the softer inserts you get from other brands in this category. Two things separate it from the rest of the Squareback name. The mid toe hang means the face wants to open and close naturally, so it rewards a stroke with a real arc rather than a straight-back-straight-through pendulum. And the adjustable sole weights let a fitter dial the head to your putter length, which matters more than most golfers realize when you're switching between a 33 and a 35 inch shaft.
Who It's For
- You want the alignment help and stability of a mallet but putt with a slight-to-moderate arc that face-balanced heads fight against.
- You like a clean single sightline and get distracted by busy alignment graphics.
- You prefer a firm, milled aluminum face feel over a soft polymer insert.
- You've been fit for a specific putter length and want the sole weights matched to it rather than a fixed-weight head.
- You lean toward Cameron's blades but want a touch more forgiveness without going to a full high-MOI shape.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Squareback 2 face-balanced or does it have toe hang?
- It has mid toe hang, not face balance. That's unusual for a mallet. Most mallets are face-balanced for straight strokes, so if you have an arc in your putting stroke, the Squareback 2 will suit you far better than a typical mallet.
- What kind of putting stroke fits this putter?
- A slight to moderate arc. The mid hang lets the face rotate open and closed through the stroke, which is what an arc stroke naturally does. If you putt straight back and straight through, a face-balanced mallet is a better match.
- What is the face made of and how does it feel?
- Milled 6061 aluminum, the same single-piece face Cameron uses across the 2023 Super Select line. It feels firm and crisp with a solid click at impact, not the muted, soft feel of an insert putter. Golfers who like feedback off the face tend to prefer it.
- Can you adjust the weighting on the Squareback 2?
- Yes. It has two adjustable sole weights that a fitter can swap to match your putter length and preferred head feel. This is worth doing if you play a shorter or longer than standard shaft, since it keeps the swing weight where it should be.
- How does the Squareback 2 compare to a full mallet like a Phantom?
- It's smaller and reads more like a blade at address, with less overall MOI than a big Phantom shape. You give up some forgiveness on off-center hits, but you get a more workable feel and, thanks to the mid toe hang, a head that matches an arc stroke rather than fighting it.
