Best Used Scotty Cameron Putters under £250

If you care about putting, you know Scotty Cameron’s name means serious gear. The trick is picking one that matches your stroke and style — and buying used lets you access gems. Here are four excellent Scotty Cameron options that tend to show up in good condition and punch well above their weight when you roll them.

Phantom X (2019)

The Phantom X line brought a more modern mallet style with Scotty’s build quality and alignment features turned up. According to reviews, the 2019 Phantom X models use solid aircraft aluminium faces, blended with stainless steel in the perimeter to push weight to the edges. That gives better forgiveness when you don’t hit it exactly centre.

Pros:
  • Strong feel and feedback despite being a larger head.
  • Excellent alignment aids and stability.
  • Great durability in face milling and materials.
Cons:
  • If you prefer a blade or something traditional, the mallet shape may feel bulky behind the ball.
  • Misses towards the heel/toe still show some twisting — less than thin blade putters, but still there.

Golo 3

Golo 3 lands between blade and mallet shapes: it’s a mid-mallet with a heel shaft and stainless steel + aluminium combo. The face-sole-alignment plate is often aluminium, pushing weight around the body and increasing its MOI so you get more forgiveness. 

Pros:
  • Smooth tempo and soft impact sound that many players find confidence-building.
  • Balanced head makes it easier to get consistent on off-centre putts.
  • Good visual alignment cues.
Cons:
  • Not as compact as true blades, so might feel bulky if you stroke is very arc-dependent.
  • Some players report that feel from the face is subtle: good spin, but not super sharp feedback on tiny mishits.

Select Newport (Blade Style)

The Newport classic remains a favourite for a reason. The Select Newports are often praised for their clean lines, flush ground contact, and that firm-but-satisfying sound at impact. Reviews highlight how well this blade sits behind the ball, the alignment is reliable, and for players who prefer blade geometry, there’s little compromise. 

Pros:
  • Excellent feel and feedback.
  • Sleek looks and forgiving for a blade, especially in newer Select lines.
  • Great for shorter, controlled strokes.
Cons:
  • Smaller sweet spot compared to mallets: you need better strike consistency.
  • Less forgiveness from heavy mis-hits or rough greens.

Futura (2017)

The Futura 2017 models are worth a long hard look if you want mallet forgiveness with serious Scotty pedigree. They’re made with aluminium faces plus heel-toe weighting, which boosts stability and resistance to twisting. Reviewers say they feel premium, soft in impact, with excellent alignment assistance thanks to the shaping and sight lines.

Pros:
  • Very forgiving on off-centre hits.
  • Great feel and alignment – good help for nerves on long and mid-length putts.
  • Larger heads mean better confidence behind the ball.
Cons:
  • Because of the mallet size, visual bulk might put off purists.
  • Weight and length options sometimes more limited in used stock, so you may need to hunt a bit for your ideal specs.

Final Thoughts

If you’re serious about putting, any of these will serve you well. Blade lovers will gravitate toward the Newport, while players wanting aid, forgiveness and visual comfort tend to prefer Phantom X or Futura. Used models will vary in condition, so always check photos of face, alignment aids and shaft neck. We inspect every Scotty Cameron we stock, so you can buy with better confidence.
