Scotty Cameron Futura X7 Putter

High MOI Putter

The Futura X7 landed in 2015 as one of the biggest mallets Scotty Cameron had put his name on. It's a high-MOI, multi-material design, and if you played the original Futura X from 2014, this is the roomier, more stable evolution of that idea. Cameron built his reputation on milled blades, so a large aluminum-and-steel mallet like this one was a deliberate turn toward forgiveness.

The X7 is face balanced, which tells you most of what you need to know about who it fits. Set it on your finger and the face points at the sky. That balance, paired with the weight pushed out to the corners of the head, keeps the putter from twisting when you miss the center of the face. Roll a putt off the toe and it still holds its line better than a small blade would.

This is a putter for people who want help staying square, not a shotmaker's tool for manipulating the face. It won't feel as buttery or as connected as a milled 303 stainless blade, and Cameron never pretended otherwise. What you get instead is stability, a clear look at address, and a head that resists your worst tendencies on a fast morning green.

Design

The X7 uses a multi-material build, which is how Cameron got the head large without making it feel like a boat anchor. A lighter aircraft-grade aluminum core sits alongside heavier stainless steel components, and moving that mass toward the perimeter is what drives the high MOI number. The wide, deep footprint frames the ball and sits stable behind it. A sight line runs across the top of the head to help you aim, and the size of the flange gives your eye plenty to work with over the ball. The face-balanced setup and the elongated shape both point the same direction: this is a putter engineered for a stroke that goes straight back and straight through, with the face doing the aiming for you rather than the other way around.

Who It's For

• You miss putts off-center more often than you'd like and want a head that holds its line when you do.
• Your stroke is close to straight back and straight through, which matches the face-balanced design.
• Aim is a weak spot and you want a large flange with a clear sight line to point the ball.
• You've played blades and want more forgiveness without giving up the Cameron name and finish.
• You prefer a bigger, planted look at address over a compact blade profile.

Technology

About Scotty Cameron

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Futura X7 face balanced or does it have toe hang?

It's face balanced. Rest the shaft on your finger and the face points straight up. That suits a stroke that moves the putter straight back and straight through, with little face rotation. If your natural stroke arcs hard, a toe-hang putter would match you better.

How forgiving is the Futura X7 compared to a Newport blade?

Much more forgiving. The X7 is a high-MOI mallet with weight pushed to the perimeter, so mishits off the toe or heel twist the head far less than they would on a compact blade like a Newport. You trade some of the blade's feedback and workability for that stability.

What kind of golfer should buy the Futura X7?

Someone who wants aim help and off-center forgiveness in a large mallet, and whose stroke is fairly straight rather than strongly arced. If you struggle to keep a blade square or you want a bigger head to sit behind the ball, the X7 fits.

Does the Futura X7 have an alignment aid?

Yes. It has a sight line to help you set the face at your target, and the wide flange gives your eye a large surface to line up against the ball. Between the size of the head and the line, aiming it is straightforward.

Why is the Futura X7 built from multiple materials?

Cameron used a lighter aluminum core with heavier stainless steel components so he could make the head large and stable without the total weight getting out of hand. Combining the two materials is what lets the mass sit out at the perimeter, which raises the MOI and keeps the head steady through impact.
