Scotty Cameron, one of the most renowned putter designers in golf, has revealed his latest limited edition creation – the B3 Triple Black Design LTD putters. Drawing inspiration from the monochrome ‘triple black’ styling of high-end convertibles, these putters feature a stealthy all-black aesthetic with heads, shafts and grips done up in a durable black PVD finish.
Golfers will have four options to choose from which remix some of Cameron’s most iconic models into an ominous dark form. This includes the Newport 2 (in both right-hand and left-hand options), Newport 2 Long Neck, Santa Fe and Catalina shapes. Each maintains the classic head profiles enthusiasts have come to expect while also getting Cameron’s modern milling techniques and fitting adaptations.
Dual-milled face construction and customizable sole weights allow these putters to deliver a nice blend of feel and performance. The moment of inertia is dialed in across models to promote consistent stroke quality. Adjustable lofts and lie angles further enhance fit and function.
Each putter in the B3 Triple Black collection features a black PVD finish on the 303 stainless steel head and black shaft and grip for a uniformly dark appearance that helps minimize glare. According to Cameron, the dark colors have long been a popular touring option for players seeking a stealthy look as well as solutions to cutting down on sun reflections.
From a technical perspective, the putters utilize Scotty Cameron's dual-milled face construction for a soft yet consistent feel. Heel-toe weighted steel or tungsten sole weights can be adjusted to tailor the performance properties of each model. Lofts are set at 3.5 degrees across the line with a standard lie angle of 70 degrees.
Austie Rollinson, Scotty Cameron's Senior Director of R&D, stated that the new limited edition offerings are based on proven Super Select designs but with modern enhancements. Golfers now have the unique chance to game renowned profiles like the Newport 2, Long Neck Newport 2 and others in the exclusive triple black format.
“With the B3 Triple Black Design LTD putters, we’re giving players new designs based on our established Super Select profiles and formats,” said Austie Rollinson. “The Newport 2 is always the most popular model, and with the Santa Fe, Newport 2 Long Neck and Catalina models, we’re presenting playable options not available in the current line. Golfers have an opportunity to game a longstanding design concept, refined and made with our modern milling and manufacturing processes.”
Those looking to snap up one of these limited B3 Triple Black beauties will need to act fast when they are released on July 26 with a steep $750 price tag. Production numbers will be tightly limited so serious putter collectors and aficionados should mark their calendars.
Knowing how desirable Cameron’s special edition offerings become, availability could be short-lived. But for those patient enough to land one, these putters are sure to become a prized possession in any bag. The stealthy triple black styling is a true conversation-starter on the greens that will have spectators doing double takes.
To conclude, here are three key takeaways about the Scotty Cameron B3 Triple Black Design LTD putters:
1. Four Iconic Head Shapes Refined
Cameron has drawn from some of his most renowned designs - the Newport 2, Newport 2 Long Neck, Santa Fe and Catalina. Each maintains the essence of its respective profile while getting Cameron's latest dual-milled face and exacting weight-adjustment technologies. This allows them to deliver the ideal blend of feel, feedback and performance.
2. Unlimited Personalization Options
With interchangeable steel and tungsten sole weights, golfers can completely dial in the optimal launch, roll and balance points for their preferred posture. Adjustable 3.5-degree lofts and 70-degree lies provide unmatched customization as well. It's a fitting monkey's dream.
3. True Limited Edition Collectibles
Only a very small number of each head style and hand orientation will be made available. Knowing how coveted past Cameron special editions have become, these B3 Triple Blacks are sure to rapidly ascend in value for savvy investors. For those who can get their hands on one, it's a guaranteed future classic in the bag.
What are the differences between the Newport 2 and the Santa Fe models
Shaft Attachment: The smoother transition style shaft found on the Santa Fe appeals to golfers wanting a seamless look and feel at address.
Length/Balance: While only an inch different, the extra length of the Newport 2 aids in squaring the face at impact for straight-back-straight-through putting.
Toe Flow: Strokes where the hands slide slightly left/right through the ball will prefer the open/closed-toe flow of the Santa Fe.
Feel/Forgiveness: Higher-handicappers tend to appreciate the forgiveness of the Newport 2 on off-center hits. Better players often choose the Santa Fe's more precise feedback.
Custom Tuning: Both models can be perfectly dialed-in for one's setup and swing with independent heel/toe weights to control the overall roll and performance.
