In short
The Scotty Cameron Futura 5MB (2016) is a mallet putter built for stability and easier alignment. It has mid toe hang, with a built-in alignment aid.
The Futura 5MB sits in an odd, useful spot in Scotty Cameron's lineup. It looks like a mallet from above, but the body is compact and the shape borrows from a wide blade, so it doesn't have the shovel footprint of a full spider-style head. Cameron built the 2016 Futura line around multi-material construction, and the 5MB uses a 6061 aircraft aluminum sole with 303 stainless steel components. That mix pushes weight to the perimeter without bloating the head, which is the whole point of this design.
The number in the name refers to the family, not the loft or the feel. The 5MB is the mid-body mallet in the 2016 Futura group, sitting between the fuller 5S and the blade-leaning options. What you get is a putter that gives you real forgiveness on off-center strikes while still fitting a golfer who wants to see a smaller, more traditional shape at address.
Mid toe hang tells you most of what you need to know about who should swing it. This is not a face-balanced mallet built for a dead-straight stroke. It hangs partway open when you balance the shaft, so it rewards a slight arc, the kind of gentle in-to-square path a lot of good putters have without thinking about it.
The head shape is the story here. From behind the ball you see a rounded mallet with a single sight line running back from the top edge, and that one clean line does the aiming work without a busy grid of dots or wings. The aluminum-and-steel build keeps the center of gravity low and spreads mass to the heel and toe, so mishits hold their line better than the compact profile suggests. Underneath, the milled face and the sole plate construction give the 5MB a firm but responsive feel at impact, closer to a soft click than a mushy thud. It comes with the mid toe hang that suits an arcing stroke, and the alignment aid is deliberately minimal. If you like a mallet's stability but hate looking down at a spaceship, this shape was made for you.
Scotty Cameron putters are CNC milled from a single block of steel in Carlsbad, California. The attention to detail in weight distribution, sole geometry, and face milling creates a feel that's considered the benchmark in professional golf.
