Scotty Cameron 1st of 500 Detour Putter Design: Newport Comparison
Question
Jim,
Thanks for your time.
Regarding the Scotty Cameron '1st of 500' Detour putters: are those '1st of 500' models designed like the Newport Detour 2 or the Newport Detour 2.5?
Thanks again,
~ Mike
Answer
Mike,
The designs are similar however the major difference is in the offset. The Newport 2 is a full shaft width offset where the newport 2.5 is only one half of a shaft width offset and the 1st of 500 has no offset. Additionally it seems the 1st of 500 also has a longer guide than the other two putters.
Thanks
