The Record

Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correct

The GOLO 5 Dual Balance stands as a single entry in this line, released within Scotty Cameron's 2015 GOLO family alongside the GOLO 3, GOLO 5, GOLO 5R, and GOLO 6. It did not return in later years, at least not on this record, so its arc is the arc of one season's experiment rather than a lineage that evolved across time.

What the maker's page describes is a putter built specifically around counterbalancing. Scotty Cameron's own page states that the GOLO 5 Dual Balance integrates a heavier head counterbalanced with a 50-gram weight in the butt end of a slightly-longer-than-standard shaft, with the stated aim of adding confidence, forgiveness and stability. The maker also points to a four-way draft relief in the sole, intended to keep the putter balanced given that most putting surfaces are not perfectly flat. The head itself is built from a precision milled stainless steel frame integrated with a lightweight aluminum face-sole, per the maker's page, at a stated loft of 3.5 degrees, lie of 70 degrees, and length of 38 inches, with custom fitting available in half-inch increments between 36 and 40 inches and lie adjustable plus or minus 2 degrees.

Amateurgolf.com's editorial coverage largely echoes this, describing the model as combining the GOLO 5 head style with Dual Balance technology to provide maximum stability, and reporting a 50-gram counterweight in the butt of the shaft alongside a 15-inch grip and a total head weight of 400 grams, which the outlet frames as a 50-gram heavier head. Amateurgolf.com also lists a standard length of 38 inches, matching the maker's stated figure.

Taken together, the record on the GOLO 5 Dual Balance is that of a single, purpose-built release: a heavier head, a longer shaft, and counterweighting all aimed at the same goal of stability, rather than a design that Cameron revisited or expanded into further releases under this specific name.
