Scotty Cameron fused his innovative Detour technology with the conventional design of the Newport line to create the Newport 2 Detour. Utilizing the familiar, crisp lines of the Newport 2 with its plumbing neck, the Newport 2 Detour incorporates a milled stainless steel frame with an integrated, arched aluminum face/body. This putter extends the Detour theory into conventional putter design by promoting the arc-shaped putting path.
Scotty gave the topline a 2-degree high toe to make it more pleasing to the eye at the address position. The putter’s curved profile with its extended orange sightline, which is straight for the first inch and curves thereafter, shows the player the proper path. A removable stainless steel backweight allows a single putter head to work with varying shaft lengths based on player preference. The backweight also triangulates balance for high MOI weight distribution and an increased sweet spot area that accounts for off-center putts. A vibration-dampening elastomer cushion surrounds the aluminum face for extremely soft feel and sound. The stepless shaft offers a clean look at address, as well as positive feel and feedback. This putter line came with the new orange Studio Design grip matched to an orange shaftband and a new orange headcover.
