Well I am what you call a victim of the scotty cameron marketing technique, I was putting perfectly fine whith my oidyssey 2 ball but i decided that i just had to have a cameron. I just ordered a newpord detour of ebay and was wondering if i made the right choice, because i was also thnking of getting a red x.

Funny....I'm also playin a 2-ball and have been lusting for a Red X3....bid on two last night...waiting now to see.

I've also got bids out on a Phantom Futura.

I've played around with the Detours at my local shop.


They all set up well for me.

It pains me to see so many people switch away from odyssey just from scotty cameron hype. 2 of the people on my golf team have scottys and i've hit countless in the store, i don't get the hype.

One thing i have noticed is that anybody going from odyssey to cameron is also going from mallet to blade. I haven't seen many people play any odyssey, or Bettinardi blades. I'd buy the bettinardi blade before i bought an SC. Well to each his own i guess. I love my kitty and the only thing i'll trade it for is an oddyssey/bettinardi blade.

I'm to a 2-ball.. user..

I've been thinking of getting a new putter, but I still want to use a mallet. The SC Red X 3 or 5 has caught my eye though. But for the money I've been looking at the Bettinardi BC3 or even YES mallet putters.

That's a Detour, not a Newport Detour. So...

No worries. I think we all wish Newports (or any other SC putters) sold for $150.

      Need Your Opinion

      Never play with him again, and make sure every time you see him (especially when he's with other people) bring it up as a joke. Everyone will laugh but him. If he wants to ruin his own reputation, let him.

      Anyone Shipped Their Golf Clubs?

      By Jasper Stratton · Posted

      Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Jasper Stratton · Posted

      Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
