Newport Detour 2 or 2.5

[big easy]

Anybody tried one of these? Anybody tried the previous Detour? Looking at one Newport Detour 2.5 right now...

[MusicMan]

tried the original detour... couldnt stand the look of it... going tomorrow to Carls Golf store to look at all the new Scotty stuff they have, and hit some balls while im at it

Talking to the stores, stock should be coming in end of ths month. I'm pretty sure that I'll pick up a 33/350, just can't decide on the neck style yet.

[spackler]

I thought the 2.5 is coming only in 34/340 or 35/330?

[atomic]

For general distribution yes, apparently by special order, you can get a 33/350 2.5. Just be prepared to wait for a while. I'll let ya know when mine is ordered and shows up. Probably November 22 or whenever the first snowfall comes this year.

I always thought you were special...

I have a 2.5 on its way...I guess a couple of resto projects will have to wait...

Come on J, you have to give us a little more meat to chew on

i cant stand the look! like there is somthing growing out the back of it! i like traditional looking putters, and that doesnt fit the bill...

Got mine (Newport Detour 2.5) last week and played with it last week-end. Although the alignment aid is a bit distracting because of its odd shape, it is not as distracting as the original Detour and it does actually really help with the alignement. It is an excellent putter. My alignement was really good but more importantly, my distance control was just amazing. I know feeling is all personal but this one feels really nice. Must be superb on fast greens. I also like the colours (Accident orange). I guess my future resto might take that route too...it's a keeper for me.

Nice pick up Steph.. I would love to roll a few with it sometime in the future.

Sure Lance, no prob. We'll certainly have to get together to play a round...would be fun to play with the other Scotty fans of your area...kiwi-man and langille5...

On a side note, it's actually nice that I had this one in my bag because I was all over the place the entire week-end! I had to make a couple of 5-6 footer...to save doubles!!!!!!

[langille5]

Nice pick up. Anytime you want to play a round of golf let me know

Tried it and didn't like it. My buddy and I were both pushing the ball when we tried it out. I'm not sure if that might have something to do with the alignment aid on the back or what.
