Studio Select Squareback 2

The 2010 Studio Select Squareback 2 sits in the same family as the Squareback 1, but the maker's page is clear that the two are not interchangeable at a glance. "At first glance, the Squareback 2 may appear exactly the same as a Squareback 1, but with a plumbing neck," Scotty Cameron's page reads, before working through the differences: the neck moved slightly back toward the heel "to give players a bit more toe flow than the nearly-face-balanced Squareback 1," a mid-length plumbing neck chosen to suit "the boxier, crisper lines of the Squareback 2 at setup," a slightly thinner topline, and a thicker cavity wall, all while holding the same headweight as the Squareback 1.

As a Studio Select release, this Squareback 2 carries the line's Cherry Dot graphics and factory interchangeable weights, milled from precision milled 303 stainless steel. The verified specs are straightforward: 4 degrees of loft, 71 degrees of lie, offered in 33, 34, and 35 inch lengths with a full shaft of offset. Custom ordering allowed for loft and lie adjustment of plus or minus 2 degrees, the same 33 through 35 inch length range, and a choice of grip in black or red, either the Baby T or Studio Design per the maker's listings.

Against its own line, the Squareback 2 reads as the toe-flow answer to the more face-balanced Squareback 1, distinguished less by material or headweight than by neck placement and the resulting setup feel that the maker's page attributes directly to Scotty's own hand.
