Gear: Scotty Cameron B3 Triple Black Design LTD putters
Price: $750 each
Specs: Milled 303 stainless steel with adjustable sole weights
Available: July 26
Who It’s For: Deep-pocketed golfers who demand a high level of precision and want a stylish, eye-catching putter.
The Skinny: This limited-edition run of Scotty Cameron blade putters blends the dual-milling design and shaping of the Super Select family with a black PVD finish, black shaft and black grip.
The Deep Dive: Scotty Cameron has immersed himself in the cultures of Southern California for decades, finding inspiration for his creations in things like the surf vibes of Encinitas and the American muscle cars that still cruise up and down the Pacific Coast Highway. At his studio in San Marcos, along with industrial sculptures that Cameron has made, you may also catch a glimpse of a vintage, tan Ford F100 that has a patina on the hood wheel wells.
The name of Scotty Cameron’s newest limited-edition putter line, the B3 Triple Black Design, draws inspiration from the world of automobiles, particularly convertibles. Just as a black car with a black interior and black top is often referred to as a triple black, Cameron’s putters come in a striking black PVD finish, with a black shaft and a black grip.
There are four B3 Triple Black Design putters, and all of the shapes will be familiar to blade putter aficionados — the Newport 2, Newport 2 Long Neck, Santa Fe and Catalina.
Each putter starts as a block of 303 stainless steel before it is milled into shape. Adjustable sole weights in the heel and toe allow fitters to modify the swing weight of the clubs easily. If you are looking for a high-contrast alignment system, you won’t find one in the B3 Triple Black Design putters. The single alignment line in the head putter is black. However, instead of the customary red dots on the back of each head (which are often referred to as cherry bombs), the dots are silver-toned in the B3 Triple Black Design putters.
Like the Super Select putters that were released in 2023 and the Phantom mallet putters that dropped in January, the B3 Triple Black Design putters feature a dual-milled face. The first milled creates deep, circular grooves that help the clubs create a deeper, richer sound and feel at impact. The second milling cuts off the sharp peaks produced by the first milling, so more of the hitting area makes contact with the ball for an enhanced feel.
The most familiar-looking putter in the B3 Triple Black Design line is the Newport 2, a classic heel-toe weighted blade with a plumber’s neck hosel. The Newport 2 Long Neck has the same head, but the extended-length hosel makes it face-balanced, so the Newport 2 Long Neck is more suited for players who make a straight-back, straight-through stroke.
The B3 Triple Black Design Santa Fe has a similar shape to the Newport 2, but the edges are more rounded and the lines appear softer when you look down in the address position. Instead of a plumber’s neck hosel, the Santa Fe has a short flared neck. The combination of the Newport-style head and flared neck has previously been a tour-only option.
Finally, the B3 Triple Black Design Catalina blends the Newport shape with an extended-length, single-bend hosel, once again creating a face-balanced design.
Each of the four B3 Triple Black Design putters comes with a black Pistolini Plus grip, a stepless steel shaft that includes a custom B3 Triple Black Design LTD shaft band and a special B3 Triple Black Design LTD headcover.
