Scotty introduces new Futura putter
SCOTTY Cameron has added a high-MOI mallet with enhanced toe flow to his new Futura line of putters – the Futura 5.5M – combining the forgiveness of a mallet with the feel of a blade.
Inspired by Scotty’s work with players on the worldwide professional Tours, the Futura 5.5M offers a new mallet option featuring the alignment and high-MOI characteristics of the Futura line coupled with a neck configuration that promotes a flowing, arced putting stroke more commonly associated with blade style putters.
The Futura 5.5M, which becomes available on Sept 22, left master putter maker Cameron to remark: “The idea for the Futura 5.5M began as a prototype when Justin Thomas came to the putter studio looking for a new option.
“He wanted a smaller mallet that he could align easily, but one that also promoted d the arced putting strok ke he preferred.
“We welded a fla are neck to a Futura X55 Tour putter and sent himm on his way. He went on to o win (including the PGA Championship), rep porting back that some of h his buddies wanted a putter like his.”
The new Futura 5.5M extends the popular Futura linee with a model designed for player rs seeking a smaller mallet with additional toe flow and forgiveness.
It has a shorter single bend shaft configuration for additional toe hang, promoting an arced path and flowing putting stroke.
Its multi-material technology – featuring wrap-around face-sole construction milled from lightweight 6061 aircraft grade aluminum, integrated with precision-milled 303 stainless steel – moves weight back and to the perimeter. This allows for a larger putter head with enhanced high-gMOI performance (resistancee to twisting durinng the stroke).
It also has Tour pproven heel-andttoe sole weighting teechnology that inncreases stability annd forgiveness.
The mid-milled fface with vvibration ddampening technoology offers soft feel with 3.55 degrees of loft to deliver optimumm roll characteristics
