OF THE NEW SCOTTY CAMERON FUTURA X
DUAL BALANCE
FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (Dec. 5, 2013) – The new
Scotty Cameron
Futura X Dual Balance mallet, a product of
comprehensive putting
research and golfer testing, provides maximum
stability through the
stroke and at impact from a high MOI,
counterbalanced design.
The Futura X Dual Balance mallet features
advanced perimeter
stability weighting in the head and a standard
length of 38 inches
with a large diameter 15-inch grip that reduces
hand action for a
smoother, more stable stroke. A 50-gram
counterweight in the butt
of the putter shaft helps golfers make a proper
stroke with the
butt of the shaft pointed at the midsection.
“We’ve found, through our last 20 years of
high speed video
research with tour players, that the best
putters in the world point
the butt of their putter at their midsection
throughout the putting
stroke,” said Master Craftsman Scotty
Cameron, whose putters
have been the No. 1 choice of players on the
PGA Tour since 1997
and counting. “From address, to the
backstroke, at impact and
through the forward stroke – the butt of the
putter remains
pointed to about the same 1- or 2-inch circle
in their belly area.
“With Futura X Dual Balance, the goal was to
slow down the butt
end of the putter and keep it stable. If you
have quick hands, drag
the butt away, or you struggle to make a
consistent stroke with a
conventional putter, Futura X Dual Balance is a
great option.”
The proper length of a Dual Balance putter is
three inches longer
than a golfer’s conventional putter length.
Accordingly, the
standard length of Dual Balance is 38 inches,
three inches longer
than the standard length of a conventional 35-
inch Scotty
Cameron putter. The large diameter Cameron
Flat Front Winn grip
has a colored section at the top that indicates
the proper hand
placement at 35 inches, which keeps the 50-
gram counterweight
above the hands for maximum effect. The 15-
inch grip length also
allows for multiple hand placement options and
the ability to grip
up or down, depending on the player’s
preference.
“The higher we can get the butt weight, the
more counterbalance
effect there is,” Cameron said. “The additional
three inches
provides stability but keeps the putter
unanchored.”
Precision milled from high-grade 6061
aluminum, the Futura X Dual
Balance head utilizes a heavy stainless center
section and
stainless heel and toe to deliver a precise
counterbalance with an
extra 50 grams in the head and a 50-gram
weight in the shaft. The
overall headweight is 400 grams, 50 grams
heavier than the
standard Futura X.
“We developed numerous prototypes using
various counterbalance
weighting techniques and tested them with
golfers at the Putter
Studio and on the PGA Tour,” Cameron said.
“When we introduced
dual balance technology, the player feedback
was extraordinary.
It’s very balanced, it’s very controlled. It slows
everything down
and promotes a more flowing, lethargic stroke
without the putter
feeling too heavy. Some players have said it
feels like an SUV
versus a sports car.”
The Futura X Dual Balance head also features
advanced perimeter
stability weighting with four stainless heel-toe
weights, two 20-
gram weights on the rear balance bar and two
10-gram sole
weights in the front corners of the putter. The
resulting deep CG
plus the perimeter weighting under the face
creates forgiveness
and solid feel for a great roll.
“That rear balance bar allows us to add
considerable weight a fairly
long distance away from the shaft axis, which
is really what drives
the high MOI,” said Cameron. “Can you get it
too far back
weighted? Absolutely. We put the balance
point so it sets well and
maximizes the MOI and the resistance to twist
at impact on off
center hits.”
The putter has a Frozen Titanium finish that
helps reduce glare,
two black sightlines and red cherry-dot
weights in the sole and
balance bar. The mid-milled face texture draws
a crisp sound from
the aluminum face and body.
A double-bend, stepless steel shaft with one
shaft of offset
provides a square, technical visual at address.
The original Futura X head design was the
direct result of
Cameron’s extensive work with Titleist Brand
Ambassador Adam
Scott, who used a prototype version of the
putter in winning the
2013 Masters Tournament. Scott, who has
been using Cameron
putters for more than a decade, calls his
Futura X “the most stable
putter I have ever played.”

Balance has an MSRP of
