Scotty Cameron Detour Putter - The Best Of The Best?
posted in Golf Clubs |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 Detour definately gives you a good putting path as well as coming armed with a bright orange headcover that you will find impossible to loose.
It really is a fantastic part of golfing science and metallurgy design which introduces the arc-shaped putting path into a mainstream putter.
With a stainless steel weight in the toe and one in the heel, the Detour has a high MOI in a fairly simple package. Scotty Cameron Detour and Detour 2 putters have an oversized T-bar shape, the Detour has single bend shaft and the Detour 2 has a straight shaft.
The arched body is milled from 6061 T6 aluminium and has milled body pockets to lighten the mid-section of the putter, the stainless steel back weight triangulates weight at the corners of the putter.
The putter has an mrp of around the $300 mark and comes in 3 standard sizes of 33, 34 and 35 inches.
My opinion of this putter is that it provides a very nice swing path that makes you feel in control the whole way through the stoke. The only way you will find out how good it is for you is to drive test one at your local retailer.
