Ugliest Scotty


Twism86

Recommended Posts

Finally found a Scotty Cameron putter for sale near me with a decent price, however it is hideous and I cant ever see myself putting with this thing. My apologies to anyone who likes this style......

Looks like they only make it for two years, so it must not have been too popular.

 

On a side note, how is it hunting for lets say < $100 Scottys? The Newports growing on me, I would love to have one but I love bargains and getting something way below value. It seems like most people know what they have.

Spry Evo makes a nice looking insert for the Detour. I've bought TM inserts from him. This might be a nice project. Remove the OEM insert, send it to BOS for polish and black oxide finish, black or white paint fill and then install the copper insert and black elastomer. Could be sweet.

I can across those but at over $100 they are a bit pricey. If I was determined to own a Scotty I could go this route with that craigslist one I found but if Im investing $200 I might as well put that towards one I would really want instead of a compromise.

In fairness, it sounds like your only two criteria at the moment are:

1) Putter must say Scotty Cameron

2) Sale price needs to be $100 or less

 

Why not figure out what you want (headshape, weight, lie angle, etc.) then use that information to dictate your search?

 

Provided you find someone locally to beadblast the head (after you DIY the disassembly and smooth out the dings with sandpaper, then put it back together at the end), you're basically getting a mint Newport 2 Buttonback for ~$250. While a bit above your pricepoint, IMO that is a value you just won't find anywhere else. Really not much material, elbow grease, and technical knowledge required for a job like this, and there's plenty of old threads around here concerning this exact mod.

 

If you're committed to getting deals, you have to be willing to put in a little extra effort... :derisive:

Here's a pretty good walkthrough of the process:

 

www.golfwrx.com/forums/topic/1561758-my-detour-2-refinish-a-diy-buttonback/

 

OP actually fabbed his own insert from bar stock... thankfully you can get the pre-sized insert from Spry, however for those intrepid DIY'ers out there, there's always the hard way!

 

P.S. in searching for this thread I found that these putters - there's an NP 2 and an NP 2.5 shown in the thread - were sold on BST (by the refinisher, Cardoza) about 6 months ago.

Im really just looking for almost any of the Newports for a good deal, preferably one with an insert and not just a pure milled face. However, I wont turn down a milled Newport!

The detour is hideous.

Depends how you look at it

 

did you do the black oxide yourself or was it sent to someone? Looks good.

I agree - most likely a DIY Caswell's (stainless blackener).

Yes, looks like Caswell's which is why I asked.

Flyiver@ that is a sweet custom.

We have a new leader in the clubhouse....

 

If the Detour is modified right, it can resemble the Scotty 10th Anniversary Terrylium putter (pic below) that fetches over $1,250 on EBay. Both were released the same year and the only difference I see is the little notch by the topline hosel.
