The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe Scotty Cameron Detour shipped in 2006 with a body that departs from the standard mallet or blade shape entirely: the design curves along an arc rather than running straight back and through, with the maker's page listing a curved body milled path following an arc created by lie angle. That lie angle is verified at 71 degrees, and the curve itself is described as following the arc of the putting path, a stated attempt to match the head's shape to the stroke rather than the other way around.
Construction pairs 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum in the body with 303 stainless steel used for balance components, and a stainless steel backweight is confirmed on record as well. The maker's page describes the aluminum and stainless steel setup as triangulating weight distribution, and this is corroborated as fact: the combination is built for dynamic stability, positioning mass around that curved centerline rather than in a conventional heel-toe or full-mallet spread.
Within the Detour line, this 2006 release stands as the version built around that arc-following curved body and the aluminum-stainless triangulation, a distinct engineering approach even among Cameron's own output on record.
