New Futura Putters from Scotty Cameron Have Even Bigger Heads

Scotty Cameron fans, particularly fans of Cameron’s Futura X family have cause for celebration today as Titleist has announced 3 new additions to the Scotty Cameron putter family. Along with the allure that often comes with just being a Scotty, the new designs feature several bits of technology that should make these new mallets particularly intriguing.

FUTURA X7 Key TECHNOLOGY

We’ll dig into the specifics of each model in just a moment, but first, let’s take a quick look at some features that are common to each of the new models.

Larger Club Heads – Bigger heads mean higher MOI, which translates to more consistency, even on off-center hits.

Multi-Material Construction – No, we’re not talking about the first un-metal putter. Multi-material doesn’t always mean composite. This particular incarnation of multi-material construction refers to what Titleist calls a Face-Sole Core (aluminum) surrounded by a 303 stainless frame. As you can probably guess, the design helps push weight back and to the perimiter for increased stability.

According to Titliest, the five connection points between the aluminum core and the stainless body feature vibration dampening technology, which helps make these new models the softest feeling in the Futura X family.

Easy Alignment – The larger head sizes of the X7 and X7M provided Scotty Cameron with more alignment options than previous models.

Individual Models

FUTURA X7

The shape of the X7 is what Titleist and Scotty Cameron call a wingback mallet. The shape is actually identical to the Futura X5, but it’s 10% larger. That extra size allowed for the addition of both vertical and horizontal sight lines.

FUTURA X7M

The X7M is a bar-back mallet designed to push even more weight to the back of the putter. Alignment is achieved through a new “pop-through rail system” that’s that’s made possible by the face-sole core.
