The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe Futura 5S belongs to the 2018 run of the Futura line, sitting within the family that Titleist's own announcement describes as "seven high performance mallet-style models" built to bring stability and forgiveness to golfers through multi-material construction. The maker's page places the 5S in that lineage of "tour-proven shapes and configurations" alongside the 5CB, 5MB, 5W, 6M, 6M Dual Balance, and 7M, all sharing the wrap-around face-sole approach that mills lightweight 6061 aircraft aluminum together with 303 stainless steel to push weight back and to the perimeter.
Within its own family, the record describes the 5S as similar in overall shape to the Futura 7M but more compact, per the maker's page, positioning it as a scaled-down take on that larger mallet rather than an entirely separate design. The 2018 5S is built straight-shafted, with the shaft positioned slightly back from the center sightline, and it carries Scotty Cameron's recommended arc stroke path designation, tying its geometry to a specific stroke fit rather than a one-size-fits-all mallet.
Taken together, what's on record for this release is a compact mallet variant that draws its shape from the 7M while adopting the straight-shafted, arc-oriented setup that distinguishes it from other members of the Futura 5 group. Where the 5CB's own product page details loft, lie, and weighting specifics for that model, no comparable maker-published spec sheet for the 5S itself is included here, so the entry rests on the shape, neck, shaft position, and stroke path facts as supplied.
