Scotty Cameron first introduced a dual balanced putter in the Futura X model. The Futura X is a high-MOI mallet with advanced perimeter stability weighting and T-shaped sight lines. Futura X Dual Balance has a steel center section, increasing the weight by 50 grams, as opposed to the aluminum center section of the conventional Futura X. The putter has a Frozen Titanium finish that helps reduce glare, two black sight lines and red cherry dot weights in the sole and balance bar. The mid-milled face texture draws a crisp sound from the aluminum face and body.
In addition to the Futura X Dual Balance, Scotty Cameron has introduced two new Dual Balance models – the Select Newport 2 and GoLo 7, which are some of the most popular, tour-proven models and shapes. Dual Balance technology helps golfers stabilize their putting stroke by providing unmatched stability for those that struggle to make a consistent stroke with a conventional length putter. It’s also a great alternative for golfers who currently use an anchor putter to maintain the stability and control in their putting stroke by adding 50 grams to the shaft and balancing that with 50 grams in the putter head.
With the extra weight, the standard length of a Dual Balance putter is 38 inches, three inches longer than the standard 35-inch Scotty Cameron Putter. A 15-inch long Dual Balance Flat Front Winn grip comes with these putters, designed so golfers can grip down to place the shaft weight above the hands for a smoother, more stable stroke. The combination of the heavier head, shaft weight and larger grip stabilize the stroke by reducing the common faults of flipping, pushing or dragging with the hands.
The Select Newport 2 is the most popular model both on tour and with players around the world from the Scotty Cameron line of putters. It is a modern blade with crisp back angles and a single black sight line. The Newport 2 Dual Balance head is slightly larger than the conventional model though, but this is to accommodate for the additional 50 grams in the clubhead.
The GoLo 7 is a mallet style putter, elegant yet modern, with a single black sight line to help square the face and help alignment for a golfer. The GoLo 7 has a rounded profile and a racy soleplate design with a curved back that flows into the ground. The extra 50 grams to make this putter Dual Balance is stored under the soleplate, whereas the conventional GoLo 7 model is hollow under the soleplate.
In addition to the Dual Balance weights, both the Select Newport 2 and GoLo 7 Dual Balance putters use a deep-milled face to deliver a soft feel and sound. Both have a soft Silver Mist finish with race-car inspired, framed and double-milled cherry dot graphics in the back and cherry dot graphics in the sole to help create a modern, yet classic look. Both models will have an MSRP of $399 and is available May 30, 2014!
