斯科特-卡梅隆推杆 Scotty Cameron Putter

Scotty Cameron 推杆声名赫赫, 它结合了最优秀的不锈钢材料和镶嵌技术,提供了很棒的手感和声响,同时其触感又是柔软,反应敏捷的。一块高规格的德国不锈钢片通过一片特殊的减震垫 镶嵌在经铣床精密加工的不锈钢杆身上,整个镶嵌部分又用弹性衬垫来加强柔软的手感。

Don T. “Scotty” Cameron 于1962年出生在美国加州的Glandale, 专门制造, 销售推杆。他最开始在他父亲的一个朋友家的车间里制造推杆, 后来又搬到岳母家的车库。 1986年, 他开始了和高尔夫球有关的第一份工作, 不久就辞职离开。

Scotty Cameron 本人

辞职后, 他开始研究T.P. Mills 和Karsten Solheim 的推杆, 并与1991年之中了第一个零售用的推杆, 当时起名叫 Fry’s Pity 推杆。当时一个朋友 John Fry 订购了700 个这种推杆。 这增加了Cameron 的信心, 成为日后Scotty Cameron 推杆的成功跳板。

然后他开始把推敢直接销售给厂家, 包括Maxfli, Cleveland 等等。 1992年, 他开始独家销售给Mizuno.  1992年后期, 他想生产Anser 类型的推杆, 但是Mizuno不同意, 他们从此分手。他和妻子开设了一家公司销售Scotty Cameron 经典推杆。 1993年, 德国球员 Bernhard Langer 使用他的推杆夺取了美国大师赛的桂冠。 Cameron 利用这次机会推广自己的公司, Langer用的那种推杆成为 Cameron 经典I号。

1994年八月, Titleist的母公司购买了Scotty Cameron 的所有权利, 使其成为唯一的制造商, 从此之后, Scotty Cameron 成为推杆老大。

自从1993年以来, 用Scotty Cameron 推杆的职业球员共赢的100多场巡回赛的胜利, 四大满贯赛的冠军大约有1/3 使用这种推杆。

2011年5月, 南韩的FILA体育公司购买了Titleist公司, Scotty Cameron 推杆也是交易的一部分, 所以现在大名鼎鼎的Cameron推杆可以说是韩国产品。同时出售的还有高尔夫鞋具,手套,衣服的著名品牌Footjoy. 整个交易额为11亿美元。
