Offered here is a Scotty Cameron Tour Sample Newport 2 Detour with circle T engraved on sole and circle T "specs" tour shaftband.

From Vog: This is a great entry level tour putter and one that I don't think gets enough love. The Detour was made to promote the correct arc in the stroke - for some players a flange line that goes straight back along the target line "messes" with the mind and eyes of the player. Over the years I've been fortunate enough to talk to Scotty about putting theories; since the putter does not have a lie angle of 90 degrees, it is impossible to swing the putter straight back and through without some serious manipulation of the hands. I recall a trip I made to the Cameron studio the winter of 2006 and while walking through, Scotty had a group of different Detour Newport 2 prototypes in the corner of his assistant's office - and he gave me one to try! I still have it to this day (of course I would not part with it!) and when my stroke gets a little wonky, the Newport 2 Detour comes out of my golf room and into my bag.

Condition is new and unused, 9.8 out of 10, 34" with baby T grip and non-matching Red X mallet headcover.
