The Deep Dive: Scotty Cameron Xperimental GoLo 6.2 LTD
The first Scotty Cameron Super Select putters were released in early 2023, and they were all blade-style offerings, but a few months later, a line extension brought mid-size mallets, including the Del Mar, Fastback 1.5 and a pair of GoLo 6 putters. Over the last few seasons, more and more pros have become open to the idea of using a mallet putter because they offer two distinct advantages over blades: mallets are almost always more stable on mis-hit putters, and their larger size allows for more extensive, easier-to-use alignment systems.
Many of Scotty Cameron’s putters are created with feedback from PGA and LPGA pros, so after seeing the trends and listening to feedback, Cameron and his team developed the limited edition Xperimental GoLo 6.2 LTD putter, and it should be in select stores in about two weeks.

Based on the shaping of the Super Select GoLo 6.0, the Xperimental GoLo 6.2 LTD is milled from a block of 303 stainless steel and features a semi-circular design with a single black alignment line in the back flange. The putter has moderate toe hang thanks to its plumber’s neck hosel, making it ideal for golfers who have a slightly-arced putting stroke.
Unlike the standard Super Select GoLo 6.0, the Xperimental version has been made with a unique face milling pattern that Cameron refers to as “chain-mill.” In addition to the milling marks created by two passes of the circular milling bit, there is a chain link pattern extending from heel to toe. According to Scotty Cameron, the pattern creates a softer feel associated with his deep-mill patterns but with more consistency.

The Xperimental GoLo 6.2 LTD putter has a gold-tone finish that Cameron refers to as chromatic bronze, and it is created during a proprietary process after the topline and the face are hand-buffed.
A portion of the steel has been removed from the sole and is covered by a 6061 aluminum plate. This shifts more of the overall weight to the heel and toe areas, which boosts the moment of inertia (MOI) and makes the Xperimental GoLo 6.2 LTD more stable on mis-hits.
The sole weights in the heel and toe are designed to allow fitters to increase or decrease the putter’s swing weight based on its length or a golfer’s preferences.
