Cut Back....

I modified my Scotty Cameron Detour putter earlier today. Me and my dad cut off a portion (about half) of the end and turned it in to a toe-balanced putter. I couldn't stand the distracting line on it. I have pictures to show as well. I would just like to know what you guys think of it.

Driver: R9 460
Fairway Woods:FT 3 Wood, Burner 5 Wood
Irons: R7 DrawWedges: 56 sand, Bob Vokey Spin-Milled 60 LobPutter: DetourBall: NXT Extreme

That would be good. Soon we will put the 20g weight inside the small pocket on the end and fill it with epoxy to add some weight to it.

So you cut a piece off to reduce the weight and that modification will allow you to glue some weight back on?

How did you determine that sawing it in half would make it perform better?

I hope it works well for you.

i'm all for self-modifications, but for the life of me can't understand the logic of butchering a $300 dollar putter

well, i guess i can, but i dont think i would ever do it myself

Goals: Correct slice on driver/long clubs(close!), work on consistent iron distance, practice aiming irons

Ditto. I think it's hideous, and if you wanted something that looked like that, he already sells Newport Detours.

Ick.

Yeah, ouch. I don't like the look of them either, but you just turned a $300 putter into scrap metal. I would've sold it and bought something I did like.

I tried both putters, and the detour had a better feel for me. The newport did'nt have the nice feel the detour had. It felt like i was hitting rock-hard balls every time I putted with it, even when they were soft balls like a titleist. Cutting of half of the back made it have just a straight line, instead of a curved line. So now I can just have a straight putting stroke with it. I don't think I would of gotten much for it anyway. They are selling on ebay for less than I bought it for.

Throw it in the trash can, why ruin a good putter? here's a tip for you, cut all the excess metal off the tow of your irons you really don't need it and we all know hitting balls on the tow produces ugly shots.

its not a matter of what he could have sold it for, just that its absolutely worthless now. He could have sold or traded it for a putter he liked instead of turning it into a paperweight.

I think the odd look and cut off letters would screw me up more than the curved line ever could.

Im more angry because I was looking for a used one and would have given him decent coin for it if he had just put it up for sale :p

no, it is worthless. As in, worth zero dollars. Absolutely no worth. He may like how it feels and plays, but that doesnt change that it is worth nothing, and he still doesnt knoow if he likes how it will perform.

well i guess if he likes it, more power to him, if he sinks more putts then great, its priceless. Plus I am sure for 100$ he can send i back to scotty and they can replace the tail. Though I still think he wouldve gone for a diff model instead of the knife.

I think modding clubs is a nice idea. Certainly makes you think about equipment a bit more than just accepting what the companies can give you.

Then again, trying to take on Titleists multi-million pound research department with a hacksaw probably isn't a great idea :)

If it works for him, fair play.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
