Special Release Del Mar Buttonback

The Special Release Del Mar Buttonback arrived in 2010 as a mallet built on the Del Mar shape but finished with the kind of detail that marks Cameron's Special Release run as separate from the standard line. The maker's page describes it as blending "classic design thoughts with modern putter technology," with the "sculpted, inspired lines of the Del Mar mallet" set off by a Tour Black Finish. The Teryllium face inlay is what gives the putter its Buttonback name, and per the maker, it accounts for "its soft, smooth feel."

On the record, this 35 inch version carries 4° of loft, 71° of lie, half shaft offset, and a head milled from Precision Milled 303 Stainless Steel. The maker's page also notes that Cameron carried over the adjustable sole weight system he built for the Studio Select line, letting the weighting be tuned to the preferred shaft length, and that the putter shipped with a red leather Pittards grip and an American built steer hide headcover.

Production was split by length: the maker's page states 1,610 units in 35 inch/10g and 400 units in 34 inch/15g, for a stated 2,010 total worldwide. This 35 inch specification represents the larger of those two runs. Within the Del Mar Buttonback's own 2010 release, the length and weighting are the variables that separate this version from its 34 inch counterpart, everything else on the maker's page describing the finish, inlay, and materials as shared across the family.
