The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe 2017 Futura line arrived as a seven-model family of mallet putters from Scotty Cameron, priced at £335 GBP. The maker's page describes the release as covering the Futura 5CB, 5MB, 5W, 5S, 6M, 6M Dual Balance, and 7M, ranging from rounded mid-mallets to larger, high-MOI mallet shapes, and states the line draws on design characteristics from the previous GOLO and Futura X generations while continuing Scotty Cameron's multi-material construction work. The maker credits the lineup with enhanced stability and forgiveness, improved alignment features, and responsive feel and feedback, built through a wrap-around face-sole construction that pairs milled 6061 aircraft grade aluminum with precision-milled 303 stainless steel, shifting weight back and to the perimeter for higher MOI. A vibration dampening system connects the mid-milled face-sole component to the stainless steel body, according to the maker's page.
TGW's coverage frames the 2017 Futura release as a mix of mallet and mid-mallet styles built with multi-material construction, using a numeric sizing system where the 5 series represents the smallest head shapes, the 6 series sits in the middle, and the 7 series is the largest. TGW also describes near face-balanced and dual-balanced options within the line, heel-toe weighting, milled sight lines for alignment, and black Matador grips in Midsize and Mid DB versions, with reported lengths spanning 33 to 35 inches and, separately, a 38 inch option.
On the maker's own product page for the 5CB specifically, the model is presented as a cavity-back mid-mallet with a black-anodized aluminum flange plate, built at 3.5 degrees of loft and 70 degrees of lie, offered in 33, 34, and 35 inch lengths with weighting matched to each length, 20 grams per side at 33 inches down to 10 grams per side at 35 inches. Within the broader 2017 Futura release, the 5CB represents the line's entry point toward the smaller, rounder end of the sizing scale that TGW describes running from 5 through 7.
