Studio Style Catalina

The 2025 Studio Style Catalina brings back a name Scotty Cameron has used before, and the maker's page frames it plainly: it "returns with a name from the past in an updated model." This version is built as a slightly wider than standard, higher MOI blade, and Titleist's own copy notes it was designed at the same width as the Newport Plus, but without the sole plate. theclubhouse.blog's read on the shape agrees in substance, describing it as essentially the same head as the Newport Plus, just a wider version of the Newport, which lines up with the maker's own width comparison even if the phrasing differs.

The build centers on a Studio Carbon Steel face insert, with the maker's page describing it as an insert with electroless nickel plating and Titleist's own listing calling it a face inlay, paired with chain-link face milling. That face is where reviewers split hardest. pluggedingolf.com, self-described as a mallet guy, called the Catalina very nice, and the Community notes describe a stroke that felt smooth and stable, with confidence growing with every holed putt. theclubhouse.blog's mixed verdict cuts the other way on feel specifically: Whilst I can't deny that the Catalina performed well, I didn't like the feel of the insert and don't think I would ever get used to it. Community opinion echoes that same complaint, with some calling the insert feel dead or tin-foil-like and saying they would not buy for that reason. Performance and feel are being judged as two separate questions here, and the reviewers don't agree on the second one.

On setup, the putter carries a single mid-bend shaft for what the maker calls near-face balanced performance, verified at near minimum toe hang, near-zero lie of 70 degrees and 3.5 degrees of loft. Titleist's own listing shows some internal scatter on secondary spec fields, toe flow is variously listed as near zero, near maximum, medium, and minimum, and neck type appears under several different names across the maker's own materials, so the exact hosel and toe flow figures are worth confirming directly rather than treating any single line as final. Against the rest of the modern Cameron blade lineup, the Catalina reads as a wider, higher MOI take on Newport-family geometry, dressed in a revived name and a new insert that has drawn real disagreement in early hands-on impressions.
