Futura X7M Dual Balance Putter

The Futura X7M Dual Balance sits inside the 2017 Futura relaunch, the line Titleist described as bringing together seven high performance mallet-style models built around multi-material construction. The family paired 6061 aircraft grade aluminum with 303 stainless steel in wrap-around face-sole designs, a construction Titleist said moves weight back and to the perimeter to raise MOI and improve stability. That lineup, as described on Scotty Cameron's own page, spanned the 5CB, 5MB, 5W, 5S, 6M, 6M Dual Balance, and 7M, built around what the maker called tour-proven heel-and-toe sole weighting technology paired with a vibration dampening system connecting the milled face-sole component to the stainless steel body.

The X7M Dual Balance itself is reported by golfballs.com to carry extra 50 grams added to the clubhead and 50 more in the grip end, a weighting scheme built to shift balance rather than simply add mass. That figure comes from the publication's own reporting on the putter, not from a Titleist spec sheet, so it should be read as one outlet's account of the build rather than a confirmed number.

Set against the rest of the Futura family, the Dual Balance treatment marks this release apart from the standard multi-material mallets that make up most of the 2017 line. Where the 5CB and its siblings lean on heel-and-toe stainless steel weighting and custom weight ports matched to shaft length, the X7M Dual Balance pushes weight to both ends of the club, clubhead and grip, a distinct approach to stability within a lineup that otherwise built its forgiveness through perimeter and back weighting alone.
