characteristics from previous generations into a
cohesive lineup of tour-proven shapes and

The 2017 Scotty Cameron Futura putters offer
enhanced stability and forgiveness, plus improved
alignment features, and responsive feel and
feedback. The features of the Futura putters are

Multi-Material Technology
These high-MOI designs combine with
Scotty’s tour-proven heel-and-toe sole
weighting technology to increase stability and
forgiveness. Multi-material technology allows for
larger putter heads and distribution of weight back
and to the perimeter for enhanced High-MOI
performance (resistance to twisting during the
stroke).
Vibration dampening System
Soft but responsive feel is provide by this unique
connection of the mid-milled face-sole component to
the stainless steel frame
Enhanced alignment Options
Milled topline sight lines, dual-purpose alignment
(5W, 5S, 6M, 7M), new pop-through visual cues, rail
alignment features and bright lines framing the
sweet spot – provide added confidence at address.
Heel and Toe Weighting
Removable weights are perfectly matched to shaft
length, ensuring consistent balance, feel and
forgiveness at any length.
Matador Midsize Grip
This perfectly sized (and great looking) grip
provides player preferred softness and comfort
without sacrificing feel or feedback.
