Scotty Cameron Help: Futura, Red X, or Original Detour?

Which one do you prefer? I'm trying to decide. Please explain why you like one over the other

My borther has the Futura. I hate it.

I would personally learn towards the more classic Red x >

I would lean towards the red x because it doesn't look like a total space station. I prefer blades for the most part, but I enjoy the feel of this mallet. Good clean lines and a classic Cameron feel.

I have a Red X2. I love the putter, but it's pretty hot faced. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Anyone have the Circa 62' putters, dont mean to hijack but I was honestly going to start a thread asking about Scotty Cameron putters but you beat me to the punch. I am going to be purchasing one on Friday, whether it be on-line or in the store pending if they have the one I want in stock.

Its between Circa 62' Model 3, or Studio styles 1.5 or Mid

But if all are the same I would go for the 62' style, personally just like it. But performance matters as well. Any Help on my subject appr.

Again sry if I hijacked your thread. Didnt want to start one with the same topic.

I like the one in my bag - the Red X3. It replaced the Red X, which barely edges out the Detour. Actually, that's badly termed - I interchange the Red X and the Detour when I want to work on things (the Detour in particular).

What about the Futura? I read your review, and now Its down to the Futura and Detour(Red X was taken by someone else)

I've never spent much time with a Futura.

I have tried all three and the Futura Phantom set-up the best for me. I would encourage you to see what fits you the best. We can all tell you what works for us, but it may not work for you.

I have the Red-X 2 (Center Shaft). Best putter around! The new Red-X's are a milled face w/o the insert. You may want to try both to see what you like best. I love the feel of mine. Much more consistent than my old Ping Zing.

I think I have decided on the Detour, thanks for all the help. One Question though: I want to cut it down from 35" to 33". I know how that throws off the weighting, but If I send it to the custom shop can they put on 20g extra?(330g+20g= 350g)

EDIT: one last question: has anyone gotten their initials stamped on an original detour? Where do they put it?

why did you switch from the red x to the x3?

Cuz it's basically the same putter, but I like some of the subtle tweaks made to the recent revision.

if you really want to be a beeter putter i would go with a ping craze or the oddyssey 2 ball the scotty camerons are great feel putters but they dont help your game one bit

I disagree. I have used the 2 Ball, and I find the mushy insert makes it very hard to control distance. I like The feel of steel, to me it provides much more feedback. Even when they came out with the steel on polymer on steel thing, it wasn't quite right, and top of that it seemed over-designed and impractical. To the poor putter, It may help in terms of MOI, but i've never had much of a problem finding the center of the putter. (Oh, and by the way, I found the putter I was looking for: Studio Style Newport.)
