Pro Platinum Sonoma 2 Slant

The Sonoma 2 Slant carries the Pro Platinum finish into 1999, and the record here is built entirely on the maker's own description of the design. The specs are plain: 35" length, 71° lie, 4° loft, all verified and matching Scotty Cameron's own archive page.

What the maker's page holds is a design rationale rather than a marketing flourish. The Sonoma Two is described as "a heel/toe weighted design integrating a longer slant neck that creates less toe flow," built for, in the maker's words, "the player who has a pendulum-style stroke requiring little toe flow." That's a specific fitting claim, not a general one, and it separates this head from the more standard-neck offerings sitting elsewhere in the same year's Pro Platinum family.

The single sightline and the slant neck are presented as functioning together, giving what the page calls "a clean look at the ball at address." The Pro Platinum finish itself is framed in the maker's copy as something with Tour standing, "widely accepted on Tour for its crisp, precise feel and feedback." Within the 1999 Pro Platinum lineup, the Sonoma 2 Slant reads as the neck-and-stroke-specific option among siblings like the Newport, Del Mar, and Laguna heads of that same archival year, distinguished less by finish, which they share, than by the geometry built for a narrower band of strokes.
