Titleist

What it does: Scotty Cameron is always looking for subtle ways to improve his iconic putters. An example here is how he milled out a  bit more room for the heel and toe weights to increase forgiveness on off-centre hits. On the face, a new milling pattern achieves the traditional soft feel of the past Studio Select’s deep milling pattern with the consistent roll of mid-milled mallets like the Phantom X.

Why we like it: Naturally, the little things include the shape of a grip or the paint fill in back, but one of the small changes we think is quite big is adding three “Plus” models to the venerable Newport line. The use of aluminium sole plates creates more perimeter weighting for better forgiveness in the same classic footprint.

SPECS 8 models; head weight 345-365 grams; length 33-35 inches
