Studio Design 3.5

The Studio Design 3.5 arrived in 2003 as a single release, and the record holds only that one entry. The maker's page describes it as a combination of a natural, flowing design coupled with a mechanical neck, set on a short, slant neck, with a shape it calls handmade looking, a blade style with rounded heel and toe and a pocket in the cavity, carrying 1/4 toe flow.

What set the 3.5 apart in 2003 was the finish. Scottycameron.com lists it as a Black Pearl finish, a dark smoke color with iridescent tones, and the maker's own line on it, quoted in our opinion notes, calls out that the finish gives the putter great sound, feel and feedback all the while, being nearly maintenance free. Greenskeeper.org's reporting echoes the same design and finish language, though it adds a detail not found on the maker's page: a production run pegged at a first run of 500.

Reviewer sentiment on the 3.5 lines up with the maker's framing. It was praised for great sound, feel and feedback, for a finish that stayed nearly maintenance free, and for a clean view of the ball at address, the last point matching greenskeeper.org's own description of the mechanical neck's effect at setup. There is no dispute among the sources here, only the one publication's added claim about scarcity that the maker's page itself does not carry.

As a line, the Studio Design 3.5 exists in the record as a single, self-contained release rather than a lineage that stretched across years. Everything held on it points to one year, one finish, and one shape treatment.
