The Scotty Cameron Detour Putter
The Scotty Cameron Detour putters were brought to the marketplace by Titleist for the start of the 2007 season and offer some new design elements and indicators that help create a putting path that can’t fail.
This putter, in my opinion, has a softer and solid feel to it than most putters I have tried (including the Laguna) and therefore provides silky and rock steady putt.
The new Scotty Cameron Detour provides the correct putter path for you swing. The head cover is a bright orange affair with a Detour marking showing a putting arc.
The Scotty Cameron Detour Putter is an amazing piece of science, metallurgy and design and this putter line extends the Detour theory into conventional putter design by promoting the arc-shaped putting path.
This putter has a single bend in the shaft, the Detour 2 has a straight shaft. It has a relatively high MOI and stainless steel weights in both the toe and heel with an obvious T bar appearance.
The head of the putter is manufactured out of milled 6061 grade T6 aluminium which has pockets that are milled out in order to lighten up the middle section. The back weights are used to triangulate the weight at the corners of the putter and to add balance.
The shaft comes in a variety of standard sizes (33, 34, 35 inches) and the club carries a list price of around the 300 USD mark.
I feel that this putter makes me feel in control the whole way through the swing but I suppose that the only way that you can find out whether this applies to you or not is to test the product for yourself. Your club shop is bound to have a demo for you to try out.
