2018 Select line

The 2018 Select line covers the Newport, Newport 2, and Select Notchback Dual Balance among its models, built on 303 stainless steel bodies with an aluminum or stainless insert depending on the head. The maker's page lists face and insert material as 303 stainless steel or 6061 aluminum insert, and the Newport 2 page describes this as a "high-tech, multi-material setup" with a "vibration-dampening system" fusing the inlay to the mainframe. The Newport, by contrast, is positioned as the softer, rounder counterpart, called "the most Tour-validated model to date" on Cameron's own page.

On the Dual Balance side, the Notchback model brought counterbalanced construction into the Select line, with a 50 gram heavier head paired to a 50 gram counterweight in the grip, aimed at players who "struggle to make a consistent stroke with a conventional putter." That's a different design problem than the standard Newport and Newport 2 heads were solving, and it sat alongside them under the same Select banner for the year.

Reviewer opinion on the line's feel is split. One 2018 assessment criticized it for inconsistent feel on mis-hits compared to the special select, while 2ndswing.com called the feel "mixed," noting that it varied across the line. Neither view is stated here as settled fact, just as what was said. The 2018 Select line was followed by the 2020 Special Select line, per the maker's page.
