The Futura putters by Titleist/Scotty Cameron are a concept that brewed for over five years before release. The signature feature of the putters lies in the unique weight distribution. The back weighted putter achieves a high moment of inertia wihich is key to achieving a square approach to the line and an enlarged sweet spot which minimizes twisting of the putter face on off center hits.
The Futura putters in look are a far cry from the traditional putter. The face of the putter is attached to a back weight that is shaped in the form of a semi circle. A quick glance would bring back memories of the Old West, and branding irons.
The actual shaft of the putter joins just behind the face. This strategic placement helps to aide in the smooth flow of swing by creating stable balance. The balance created produces a correct swing path and an effortless ball roll.
The Scotty Cameron Futura putters signify more than incredible balance, distribution, and design. They show the move toward the focus on back weighted putters for increased moment of inertia and a more pendulum like stroke. The wave of designs reflects the attention to the relativity to physics and golf. Even so, the putting tools are only effective when your score begins to decrease. If you are struggling with your putting, buying a new tool isn’t always the answer. A putter won’t be able to improve your game if your fundamentals and techniques are wrong.
