Scotty Cameron Catalina Putter
The Scotty Cameron Catalina is a classic putter that holds a special place in the early legacy of Scotty Cameron craftsmanship. Originally released in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the Catalina blends timeless blade styling with a longer, slightly wider profile and a softer toe curve, offering players a distinctive setup and a smooth, flowing stroke. It’s a rare and cherished model for collectors and players who appreciate vintage Scotty Cameron design.
Overview
The Catalina was part of Scotty Cameron’s early line of hand-crafted milled putters under the Titleist brand, designed to offer a sleeker, longer blade shape for players who preferred a low-profile, flowing design.
Its standout characteristic is its elongated head and soft, rounded lines, giving it a very natural look at address, particularly for those who want less visual bulk without sacrificing alignment confidence.
Key Features
Longer, Rounded Blade Design
The Catalina is longer heel to toe than many other Cameron blades, with a lower profile and flowing curves, giving it a unique presence that suits players who prefer minimalist, traditional aesthetics.
No Insert – Solid Milled Face
The face of the Catalina is fully milled from a single block of stainless steel (in some models, carbon steel), giving it a pure, responsive feel with excellent feedback and soft acoustics.
