The Titleist Bullseye is the oldest and most iconic putter produced by Titleist and it's the only putter without the Scotty Cameron design that people still like. The Bullseye putter is simple, classic, and time proven. It's made of soft yellow brass -- weighted and shaped to a uniquely delicate balance. The Bullseye design is the inspiration for almost every putter you see at the putt-putt golf course.
It has a very basic mark of the top of the putter to help you align the golf ball. And the unique shoe design allows the player to setup precisely every time. All Bullseye putters have an 8" sold radius to minimize drag and 5 degrees of loft for a consistent roll.
The Bullseye putters are classic and a great starting point for anyone who is in search of a new putter. Putter technology has come a long way since 1970, the first year this putter was introduced to the market. But the fact that it still remains a popular and perfectly adequate putter speaks volumes about the nature of putter technology and golf in general. Everyone has a different golf stroke and in that way people have different preferences for what works. Putting is mostly about what feels right and what works for you. And this basic design works for so many people. There's really no need for improvement.
The Titliest Red X putter by Scotty Cameron is one of the most beautiful mallet putters ever designed. It comes in both the Red X3 and the Red X5 with glare-resistent charcoal Mist finish. Both models are milled from a solid block of 303 stainless steel and finished with a black anodized aluminum soleplate with stunning red graphics. The soleplate hides the precise internal weighting schema.
The Red X3 comes with a single bent shaft with a 1/4 diameter and offset for the ideal toe-flow through the stroke. It has a similar set up to more traditional putter designs like the Newport or Anser. The X3 is a refinement of the mallet putter concept with increased design appeal. It's perfect for players wanting a solid feel, great distance control, and more conservative design.
The Red X5 differs from the X3 with a plumbing neck shaft which is offset to achieve a clean and contemporary aesthetic. It's not much different than the X3 in terms of overall playability. The choice between the two putters is a matter of preference. You should spend some time with both putters at your local pro shop and see which one feels more natural.
The Titleist Futura is an experiment in putter design by Scotty Cameron. His idea was to take a heel-toe weighted putter -- where the weight is concentrated directly behind the ball -- and move the weight back approximately two ball lengths. The result is a phenomenal performance increase with immediate ball roll. It's like hitting the ball with a spring loaded paddle. Of course this poses a bit of a problem on super fast greens because it means you have to slow down your putting stroke considerably -- however that negative is only temporary because when you adjust your stroke to a slower pace your consistency improves.
The Futura was originally designed as a tour model putter for professionals who weren't happy with their current putting setups. The first prototypes had adjustable faces which would allow a player to change the loft of the face on tour with a set-screw hidden behind the clubface. This concept never fully took effect because touring professionals are great at hitting the ball, but their understanding of how to adjust a club for maximum results is limited. It's essential for touring pros to work with a talented club craftsman and thats why the production models of the Futura don't have adjustment screws.
In 2005, Scotty Cameron released the Futura Phantom. With all the success of the PGA touring pros and their eager adaptation of the putter, the Phantom takes the Futura design one step further. It has a black anodized finish which does little more than improve the look of the putter for better alignment and overall feel. The weight distribution changed so that 75% of the total weight is in the horseshoe behind the ball while the remaining 25% is in the club face. The Phantom sits perfect at address because the sole was re-designed by moving the rails further back and making them slightly longer.
The Titleist Newport is one of the most iconic putters ever designed by Titleist. It takes its inspiration from the Ping Anser putters and builds on their design with different materials, shaft choices, and inserts. The Newport design has been proven to be one of the most popular putter designs for professional golfers because of the easy control, square clubhead, and superior consistency.
The current Titleist product line includes two Newport designs in the Detour model and the Studio Select. The Detour line is an innovative putter design as you will immediately notice. The body is made from a milled stainless steel frame with an integrated and arched aluminum face. The putter has an orange sightline, which is straight for the first inch but curves thereafter -- adjusting for the curve of a player's swing. This allows players to get a more accurate address when approaching the golf ball.
The Studio Select models are more traditional in the way of design aesthetics. You'll notice the familiar Newport body style in this putter line milled from blocks of 303 stainless steel.
The Newport is one of the most popular putters on the market today for good reason. I'd always recommend it. In fact, it's what I have in my bag right now!
Titleist Scotty Cameron putters are some of the best putters on the market today. Since the early 1990s, Scotty Cameron has made a name for himself by designing the finest putters for the best players in golf. Luckily for the average Sunday hacker, Titleist saw a huge opportunity to bring Scotty's design to the masses and they have formed a partnership. Today the Scotty Cameron product line includes Studio Select, Studio Select Kombi, Newport Detour, Circa 62 Charcoal Mist, and Red X Charcoal Mist.
In 1997, Titleist release a line of innovative putters from the Scotty Cameron studio. Perhaps the best know putter from that year is the Teryllium Newport putter which Tiger woods used exclusively for years before switching to the Pro Platinum model. The Newport Teryllium draws its inspiration from the Classic 1, which was one of the first putters produced by Scotty Cameron in late 1992. You'll notice immediately the insert of the face of the club which looks, at first, to be copper. In fact the insert is made of a patented material called Teryllium which is an alloy of 12 metals backed by an elastomer membrane. When combined and used in a putter, it produces one of the softest feels in any putter. This is especially useful when playing on extremely fast greens.
Fast forward to the year 2000 when Scotty released another game changer to the golf putting world. The Pro Platinum series took on the same classic designs as the Teryllium series with the Newport and Newport II but replaced the material on the club head and changed the weighting schema. In start contrast the the soft feel the of Teryllium series, the Pro Platinum has a crisp and solid feel. Many will remember the change made by Tiger Woods around this time when his putter had three dots on the club face. For a few years this putter wasn't available to the public and at the same time Tiger continued to rack up major championships. Well today it's pretty easy to buy this putter and it's still as good as ever.
Titleist Putters are widely regarded amongst touring professionals as some of the best putters on the market. With a variety of putter types and a proven dedication to quality and innovation, Titleist Putters continue to rank among the most solid putters you can purchase today.
Their current product line inclues the Studio Select, Studio Select Kombi, Newport Detour, Circa 62 Charcoal Mist, and Red X Charcoal Mist.
Perhaps the most famous name in putters today is Scotty Cameron. Scotty, a california native, often played golf with his father growing up. His father was an insurance investigator with a passion for the game and a two handicap. When the two of them weren't bonding on the golf course, you could find the Cameron's in their garage working on clubs, shaping heads, wrapping grips, and experimenting with new designs. Their passion for club innovation quickly became more than a hobby.
Scotty's philosophy when it comes to putter design is that when it's finished, it should look like the putter melts into the ground. In 1991 Scotty left the Ray Cook Golf company and joined the prestigious company Maxfli. From there he moved onto Cleveland Classics, Founder's Golf, and then Mizuno. It was in 1992 that he formed his own company with the purpose of creating the finest putters for the best players in the world. And it didn't take long before his dream was realized. In 1993 Scotty's putter was used to win the Master's Championship.
Titleist putters are a mark of quality and I would never recommend against owning one!
