Scotty Cameron Detour Putter – Product Review

Titleist brought the Scotty Cameron Detour putters to the golf world for the start of the 2007 and they offer new indicators and elements that help you line up your putting path with greater ease.

My initial opinion of the Detour is that is has a soft, solid feel to it that provides a silky and steady putting base.

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.

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.

Shafts come in 33, 34, 35 inches and the list price is around the $300 mark.

I think that this putter feels great to the touch and has definately made me more consistent but when all said and done you have to try it out for yourself to see if it will suit you. Most golf pro shops around the country will allow you to demo the club if you ask.
