Futura

The 2003 Futura sits at the very start of the line that carries its name, the original expression of an idea Scotty Cameron had been sitting on for some time. The maker's page notes the putter was in the prototype stage for years and finally made its way into production, and what arrived was a genuine departure from the blade shapes Cameron was known for: a 6061 aluminum and 303 stainless steel construction with 4° of loft and 71° of lie.

The design details on record are specific to solving stability and roll. Two plugs were milled into the back of the face, stainless weights were applied to create even more stability, and the sole was designed so the putter never closes when setting up to the ball. The maker describes the on-course result plainly: the ball rolls immediately off the face without ever digging into the green. The topline was shaped for a contoured look, and the maker's page lists 75% of the weight sitting in the stainless horseshoe with the remaining 25% in the face and body, a distribution meant to push mass to the perimeter well before "high-MOI" became the label Titleist would use for the concept years later.

The maker's page lists the 2003 Futura in 35" length, and separately lists 34" and 35" as available lengths. On tour, the maker's page credits it with a first win on the PGA Tour in 2003, the same year it shipped. As the origin point for the Futura name, this release is the plainest version of the concept, before the line expanded into the multi-material mallets and dual-balance configurations that would follow it.
