Scotty Cameron putters are some of the most sought-after on the market, and with the release of the new Studio Style line, the desire to own one of these putters may have just reached new heights. With twelve models in the 2025 Studio Style family, there is a shape and style for everyone but it was the Squareback model that caught my eye. So I took it out on the course to put it through its paces and see if it could be truly considered one of the best putters on the market.
The Studio Style Squareback is one of the mid-mallet models available in the range, offering a slightly larger footprint compared to the more rounded Fastback model. From a looks standpoint, the Squareback is much more linear in design and that is accentuated through the use of a new high-contrast, multi-material alignment system. This is a form of alignment technology that has been used by other brands and is something that I feel really helps line the face up square to my target at address, instilling a lot of confidence before I make my stroke.
Aside from the new technology and top sight line, the Studio Style Squareback putter boasts the same premium look golfers have come to expect from Scotty Cameron putters. Made from 303 stainless steel and 6061 Aircraft aluminum, these putters look and feel exceptional and all feature an adjustable dual-weighting system on the sole for those that like to get dialled in to the nth degree.
New for this Studio Style range is the chain-link face milling. which has been implemented to provide a softer feel and sound through impact. This is not only done through a deeper milling pattern, reducing the amount of face on the ball and therefore reducing vibration through the head, but also because it is crafted from carbon steel - a much softer metal than stainless steel.
So how did this putter perform when I put it to the test? Very well. In fact, I was so impressed with the feel and how it framed the ball at address, it’s a contender for my bag this season. The softer insert face provided a beautiful sensation off the face which meant my distance control was above average from putts in the 30-50ft range and the chain-link milling got the ball rolling on the green almost immediately after leaving the face.
It was the shorter putts where I felt the Studio Style Squareback shone. The copious amounts of alignment aids and sharp-lines on this putter helped with my initial aim and starting the ball on line almost every time. The angular design almost forced me to putt on a straighter arc, which is perfect for those using the single bend shaft option but if you opt for the plumber's neck option, you’ll find the face open and close on a stronger arc.
One of the most underappreciated aspects when it comes to buying a putter is the grip and that’s something that Scotty Cameron certainly hasn’t overlooked. The new pistol grip on offer with all of the new Studio Line putters sat in my hands very comfortably and the flat front edge allowed my thumbs to run straight down the shaft and keep my hands in a neutral position throughout the stroke.
If you’re in the market for a new putter and want a combination of the feel that some of the best blade putters offer and the stability of some of the most forgiving putters, then the Scotty Cameron Studio Style Squareback putter is one that you should be checking out. These putters do come with a fairly punchy price tag of $499/£449, but considering the addition of new technology both from a visual standpoint and with the new tour-inspired face, I do feel as though these putters are worth splashing the cash on.
