Sometimes the smartest path between two points is a curved line. When it comes to the putting path, this isn't just an educated guess. It's a fact. Why not build this mathematical fact into the putter's design? That's exactly what Scotty has done with the Detour.
Years of analyzing the world's best players under the scrutiny of high-speed video shows that the proper putting path actually follows an arc. The arc is created by the lie angle of the shaft. With a standard lie angle of 71 degrees, Scotty built the right putter for the path. ... Let the Detour and Detour 2 show you the path to better putting.
Straight back, Straight through? No Way...except you did that with compensation.
The blur – what is the use of the long curved design? See two hottest PGA putting experts' products, you will see why is that?
