New Year, New Gear

Scotty Cameron Select Fastback

Master craftsman Scotty Cameron attributes the success of his putters to his meticulous attention to detail. “[I make] sure there is complete harmony between how it looks, how it sounds and how it feels,” he says. Cameron has a new lineup of putters including the Select Fastback. All boast a silver mist finish. Precision-milled, this modern mid-mallet features a single bend shaft that promotes minimal toe flow for players who like a straight back straight thru stroke. Most noticeable on the Fastback are the bold top alignment lines, a so-called “crisscross sight line” that ensures golfers address their putter square at address. As Cameron puts it, “the best players in the world putt with the ball slightly up in their stance, under their left eye. This places the crisscross sight lines ... directly under their nose and between their eyes.” What’s best about the crisscross alignment aid is that it’s user-friendly. If you set the putter too far forward, the crisscross will make the face appear closed. If you put it too far back, it will look open. HK$3,000. www.scottycameron.com

Titleist DT Solo

Although Titleist hasn’t unveiled any new Pro V1s for 2014, they do have a number of other offerings including the NXT Tour, Velocity and redesigned DT Solo, which, the company claims, combines a super soft compression core and soft ionomer cover for big distance gains and a soft, greenside feel. New on the DT Solo for 2014 is a spherically-tiled 376 tetrahedral dimple pattern that delivers a tighter, more consistent flight. Available in both white and optic yellow (pictured).
