Pros: I think the high MOI technology has merit. It certainly gets the ball moving fast off the face of the putter. The analogy I can think of is when, as a kid, I'd stand on a swing seat and generate speed by putting my weight down towards the rear of the seat. The concept of moving the mass of the putter back and away from the face works well. It wasn't as heavy as I initially thought, and the 3 holes are a good alignment tool. Looks are very high-tech, but polished, not for the traditionalist, surely.

Cons: It will take time to get used to the high-MOI concept of putting, especially if you're used to blades, as I am. On setup, I get distracted by the fact that more than 75% of the putterhead is so far away from the club shaft. Also, if you sit the putter on the ground so that the sole is flat, it seems to open up the face a bit. I feel this putter demands a certain approach, and a certain putterstroke to be effective. If you're not willing to adjust to the putter, both in address and stroke, then this is probably not for you.

Scotty Cameron Futura Quality: Very well-made. Polished look, typical of Scotty Cameron putters. The clubhead is definitely not traditional, but for someone looking for the answer to their putting woes, a drastic leap from conventional may just be the key. Headcover's huge, as expected, and you'll want to keep it on as it will bang heads with everything else in your bag.

Review & Rating Summary: Great putter, but there's a learning curve. Another Scotty breakthrough. Clean lines, polished looks, nice finish. If you like golf techie-style, this is your putter. If not, you might want to try it anyway.
