Staff WriterIf you’ve ever stood over a five-footer and felt your hands auditioning for a percussion section, Scotty Cameron has arrived with three fresh options that promise to calm the chaos. The latest Scotty Cameron Studio Style Putters drop into the family as three distinct personalities—Santa Fe, Fastback 2, and Fastback 2 Long Design—each tuned for different toe-flow profiles and, more importantly, different kinds of human beings under pressure.
Cameron’s Studio Style line is already a familiar address for golfers who like their shapes classic but their performance modern. This update advances the blade and mid-mallet family with new configurations designed to suit a range of putting strokes—whether you release the toe like a proper arc artist or prefer something closer to straight-back, straight-through serenity.
Three new models, three different answers to the same question: “Why did I miss that?”
The new additions are positioned as a tidy trio, each offering a different balance of head shape, neck configuration and toe flow:
- Santa Fe: a revamped classic featuring a Newport-style blade design and a flow neck for maximum toe flow and heightened face awareness.
- Fastback 2: a modern mid-mallet profile with a plumbing neck aimed at moderate toe flow.
- Fastback 2 Long Design: the Fastback 2’s head shape and neck configuration, but built longer and heavier to help stabilise the stroke and “quiet the hands.”
All three models are set to be in golf shops worldwide beginning Feb. 12, bringing tour-proven Studio Style concepts into retail reality.
What’s new under the hood: Studio Style technology in plain English
The Studio Style line pushes performance with two headline features designed to deliver softer feel without turning the strike into a mystery novel.
Studio Carbon Steel inserts (SCS): softer sound, distance control still intact
Each putter features a Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) face insert paired with an electroless nickel plating process to enhance durability. The pitch here is simple: carbon steel has greater damping capacity than inserts such as Teryllium, stainless steel and aluminium, limiting the duration of the strike tone for an exceptionally soft sound—while still preserving ball speed off the face to help dial in distance.
In golfer terms: it aims to feel buttery, but not vague.
Chain-link face milling: less ball contact, more usable feedback
The chain-link face milling pattern—debuting with the Studio Style lineup in 2025—is designed to reduce the number of touchpoints with the ball at impact. The result is a softer sound while maintaining the sort of feedback good putters demand and the rest of us merely rent on weekends.
Model overview: Santa Fe vs Fastback 2 vs Fastback 2 Long Design
Studio Style Santa Fe: the classic blade, modernised
The Santa Fe has been a Scotty Cameron staple for more than 30 years, and this version keeps the familiar DNA: a rounded Newport-style head and a flow neck that promotes maximum toe flow and greater face awareness throughout the stroke. It’s a blade for golfers who like to feel the toe release and see the face rotate naturally.
This is the one for players who putt with an arc and want a traditional look without giving up modern face tech.
Studio Style Fastback 2: mid-mallet confidence with moderate toe flow
The Fastback 2 carries the rounded, compact mid-mallet profile of the Studio Style Fastback, but swaps into a plumbing neck configuration to suit those who want moderate toe flow. It also uses a multi-material construction with a black anodised aluminium heel-toe inlay, which is designed to increase perimeter weighting and MOI while providing a high-contrast alignment feature.
Notably, the new Studio Style Fastback 2 is available as a left-handed model.
Fastback 2 Long Design: built to steady the hands and smooth the motion
Now to the calming influence in the room: the Fastback 2 Long Design. It’s the same head shape and neck configuration as the Fastback 2, but built specifically for players seeking a smoother, more stable stroke. The Long Design measures 38 inches and features a heavier head weight with 25-gram tungsten sole weights, a 17-inch non-tapered grip, and a stiffer shaft.
Also worth noting: the new Studio Style Fastback 2 Long Design is available as a left-handed model.
In short, this is the one for golfers who want the putter to do more of the stabilising while they do less of the “please don’t flick at it” thing.

Which one should you choose?
A simple fit guide, because your putting stroke has a personality too:
- Choose Santa Fe if you prefer a blade, like maximum toe flow, and putt with a noticeable arc.
- Choose Fastback 2 if you like a mid-mallet shape, want moderate toe flow, and value easy alignment plus extra MOI.
- Choose Fastback 2 Long Design if you want the head to feel more stable, prefer a longer build, and are actively trying to remove “hands” from the list of things that influence impact.
