The Record

Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correct

The GOLO 3 carries an MSRP of $410 USD, in a Silver Mist finish, and sits within the GOLO line as a mid mallet with a heel shafted flow neck, per the maker's page. Titleist's page also lists the head as an angled back mallet with a crisp single bend shaft among the range of descriptions attached to this model, and specifies a face-sole core milled from aircraft-grade aluminum surrounded by a solid 303 stainless steel frame, with customizable heel and toe weights integrated into that core. The shaft carries a 9° forward and 3° inward lean on a stepless, single bend shaft, according to the maker.

Editorial coverage fills in more texture than the maker's page does. Amateurgolf.com describes it as a standard size mallet slightly larger than the previous generation, with a B-back shape similar to Cameron's previous Circa 62 #6 model, and notes custom fitting ranges of +/-1º loft and +/-2º lie along with lengths of 33", 34", and 35". Golf Monthly's account of the construction, a steel frame housing an aluminium face-sole core with steel and aluminium parts connected at five key areas to dampen vibration, lines up with Plugged In Golf's description of one piece of stainless steel making up the majority of the putter and a piece of aluminum forming the face, sole, and alignment aid. Plugged In Golf also attributes the design to Terry McCabe, tagged as TPA XVIII, and puts the weight kit at $154, or $169 for the Heavy version.

On feel and looks, the reviewers split somewhat. Plugged In Golf called it exactly what I expect from Scotty Cameron, a classic design that's well-executed aesthetically with enough changes to bring the Cameron faithful back to the register, and separately said it felt fabulous, but found the alignment aid is too much for my eye. Golf Monthly took a more settled view, calling it a beautiful line of putters with new sight lines that stand out while still maintaining a classic look. Community sentiment gathered on the GOLO 3 echoes both sides of that: praise for premium aesthetics and a stable, soft feel off the face, alongside complaints that the alignment aid is too pronounced for the eye and that the top-end price tag will put many off.

I’ve looked at the more recent Scotty takes on the heel shafted putter, like the GoLo 3, which felt fabulous, but found the alignment aid is too much for my eye.
