2017 Futura Dual Balance

The 2017 Futura Dual Balance carried an MSRP of £355 GBP, part of the Futura line's relaunch that year alongside the 5CB, 5MB, 5W, 5S, 6M, and 7M models.

Titleist's announcement of the 2017 Futura family, dated January 24, 2017, describes the lineup as a cohesive series of tour-proven shapes and configurations, with the 6M Dual Balance named specifically within that group. The maker's release copy frames the whole family around multi-material construction, pairing 6061 aircraft grade aluminum with 303 stainless steel to move weight back and to the perimeter for higher MOI and greater stability. That same copy notes a built-in vibration dampening system connecting the milled face-sole component to the stainless steel body, a feature described as part of the broader Futura design approach rather than isolated to any single head.

The Dual Balance designation sat within the 6M shape in this release, positioning it among the line's high-tech, high-MOI mallets rather than the rounded mid-mallet end of the family occupied by models like the 5CB. Where the 5CB's own product page details specific play specifications such as loft, lie, length, and weighting, the Dual Balance's place in the record here is defined chiefly by its listing within the January 2017 launch and its price point.
