Follow on Google News | ![]() Titleist Scotty Cameron Red X3 PutterWhile the new Red X3 looks a lot like the original Red X with its hosel-less heel-shafted configuration, it is subtly different.
By: Louis I always find it interesting to watch Scotty Cameron tweak his designs. I mean, how many putter makers have produced so many variations on a theme as he has done with his multiple incarnations of Newport-style heads? It now appears he's traveling down that same road with his Red X3 mallet putters. Unlike the first mallet putters he produced shortly after joining Titleist that weren't exactly blockbusters, the Red X3 putters have established a very strong following among those who favor a mallet head. While the new Red X3 looks a lot like the original Red X with its hosel-less heel-shafted configuration, it is subtly different. While the original carried a single-bend shaft with a full shaft-width of offset, the Red X3 Putter has only a quarter shaft of offset. That may not sound like a big difference, but it is going to produce a noticeable change in the look at address. I also wonder if it will result in a little more toe hang… the weighting bias that helps the face open and close on an arcing stroke. These differences are a good thing in that they mean the Scotty Cameron Red X3 Putter with its solid head and different offset is going to give players another option as they choose a mallet putter. Choice is always good. It's easy to understand why. It's a classic shape, beautifully milled, and available in multiple lengths and head weights… as long as you're right handed. Here's a look at his latest takes on what a mallet can be… The Red X3 features a classic, single bend shaft with ¼ shaft of offset for the ideal toe-flow through the stroke. Its design takes a classic mallet into another realm of performance and style. http://www.golfsalestore.com/ # # # Golfsalestore.com makes golf affordable and pass the savings on to you.
