These 2 putters are nearly 5 years apart in terms of release dates and technology, but show similarities in having alignment aids and beautiful construction. Remember, "You drive for show, and putt for dough"!
This is a shoot-out between ...
Ben Hogan Big Ben by Bettinardi (BHB-7)
v
Scotty Cameron Design - Newport 2.5 Detour
The Big Ben is a lot larger then the Detour!
Both headcovers are cool, and I do like the blue of the Big Ben, but the Detour seems more contemporary-looking! The Big Ben does have a magnetic clasp in its favour, compared to the velcro-ed Detour.
In terms of build quality, the Detour marginally beats the Ben Hogan.
Finally, in terms of alignment aids, both are good, but I prefer the Detour's simplicity and slightly softer feel.
