Hi guys I'm thinking of changing to a scotty cameron square back either 1 or 2 models. After reading reviews it seems the 2 has slightly more toe hang and says it helps eliminate pulled putts to left?? Im currently pushing slightly to the right but was told to go for this model because of the plumbers neck!? I'm confused!!!??? I'm currently using odyssey metal x 7 c/s. If anyone can tell me main differences between both models if be much appreciated!!

The main differences are the Squareback 1 is face balanced and the Squareback 2 has toe hang, or "toe flow". Obviously, the Squareback 2 has a plumbing neck hosel rather than a half bend shaft like the Squareback 1, which in turn gives a full shaft of offset rather than a half shaft of offset with the Squareback 1. The Squareback 2 features a slightly thinner top line, but a slightly thicker cavity than the Squareback 1, but the weights are essentially the same. For a better understanding of how each specific characteristic works or suits your style, refer to the SC putter selection guide here:

Guys, I'm not that familiar with the Scotty Cameron putters, but the other day at the golf course I played a ping answer putter (i left mine at the house after putting on a new grip) and my distance control was amazingly better.  I felt like I had a lot more feel than with my soft mallet putter.  I'm looking at something that is solid and not soft feeling maybe something with a plumbing neck and looks like a cross between a mallet and a regular putter.....  everything is pointing me to the squareback 2....     from what I read, the squareback 2 also has a shorter blade length.  All signs go....

My putting seems to be more straight back straight through... my question is similar to Mazza...  does that mean I need more toe hang (plumbers neck)?

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂
