Scotty Cameron unveils 2015 My Girl Putter, uses diamond alignment aid

Published

on

As Scotty Cameron devotees know, the putter-making maven has been producing limited runs of putters designed for female golfers since 2002. This year, he adds to the My Girl series with Diamonds Are My Girl’s Best Friend, a Select Roundback putter.

Cameron, a father to two daughters and a man whose Cameron Golf International (later absorbed by Titleist) was founded with his wife Kathy, calibrates the putters weight, length and balance to ladies’ specifications.

This year’s My Girl, the 14th flatstick in the series, has a diamond-shaped alignment aid that “pops through” the putter and is part of the 6061 aircraft grade aluminum sole plate — the rest of the putter is made from 303 stainless steel.

The putter’s matte black finish is complemented by the aforementioned rose-petal pink sole plate, as well as a pink Pistelero grip and sparkly gray headcover.

Only 1,250 of these beauties are slated for production.

    Flowers, stars and diamonds? Great design themes if your first grade daughter wants a Scotty.

    If I were a woman, that diamond stuff looking at me would drive me nutz. Or maybe it’s a female thing, and they can block that bling out.

    I think the diamond should have been placed the other way around. With point facing the ball/target, would be easier to align that way. This is just a wall hanger anyway.

Spotted: Tony Finau’s driver shaft change at the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open

Published

on

Tony Finau has always been known as one of the longest players on the PGA Tour, but he has recently been working on adding a little more distance. Last year, Finau averaged 118.3 mph club head speed and 178.08 mph ball speed, all while playing a Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 70 TX driver shaft. This year, he has increased his club head speed to 123.93 mph and his ball speed to 183.32 mph.

However, Finau’s overall distance has decreased by two yards in that time. From a fitting perspective, something was amiss. We asked Tony about the shaft change at the Texas Children’s Hospital Open.

“[I’m seeing] better numbers with the spin. My driver’s been a little high spin for me over the last month or so, and so I just figured it was time to probably check out the equipment,” Finau said. “And it definitely showed me that I was using a shaft that’s maybe a little too tip-stiff for me, the way I load the club now. [I’m seeing] better numbers with the spin.”

Finau switched from the Mitsubishi Diamana D+ Limited 70 TX into the Diamana GT 70 TX. The newer Diamana GT has a slightly different profile than the D+ Limited with the stiffest handle section in the Diamana lineup. The mid sections between the two are similar stiffness but the tip is just slightly stiffer in the Diamana GT. Both shafts are within one gram of each other in the 70 TX. The torque rating on the GT is 0.1 higher than the D+Limited’s 2.7 measurement.

Mitsubishi lists the Diamana GT as a shaft between the mid-launching Diamana TB and the new low-launch Diamana WB shafts. For most players, it would be considered a mid/low launch and low-spin shaft option. Mitsubishi’s Xlink Tech Resin System makes sure the maximum carbon fiber content is there for smooth feel without reducing the strength of the shaft. MR70 carbon fiber is used for reinforcing the shaft and boron is used in the tip for its high strength and compression properties.

Finau is still using his trusty Ping G430 LST driver in 9 degrees and has the adjustable hosel set to -1 degree of loft (standard lie angle). Finau’s long-time favorite Lamkin UTX Green grip is installed. He definitely has a few extra wraps of tape under that grip as you can see the bulge down where the grip meets the shaft.

One final note: Per Ping’s PGA Tour rep Kenton Oates, Finau’s driver is also adjusted to play with an additional degree of loft to help dial in his desired launch.

We’ll see how he fares with the new setup this week in Houston!
