Purchase: Have spent over $2000 on irons and woods so far this year at Golfsmith in Pasadena, California. I am still using my old 'no-name' putter which I've had for some thirty years while I searched for that 'magic-putter'.
Today, I went to Golfsmith and again tried out most of the putters that were available. The last putter I tried was an odd looking putter that looked to bulky and heavy for my liking. To my surprise, I believe I found that 'magic putter' that I had been looking for. I did not purchase the putter today but believe that the Futura is definitely in my future.
Pros: I like the Futura putter because it is not too heavy and though it looks bulky, it is not when you are over it to make a putt.
I also like the putter because it is so perfectly balanced that my putting stroke was effortless and so smooth. I found the design of the putter to be unmatched when it came to aligning putts.
The thing that impressed me most about the putter was that I made about 90% of the putts I tried. I take pride in my ability to putt but I'm not THAT good.
Cons: I did not like the color of the putter grip. Also, I'm sure the size of the putter head will cause a littly problem trying to get all of my clubs in my golf bag.
Scotty Cameron Futura Putter Quality: Being an engineer, I especially appreciate the quality of workmanship and engineering know-how in putting together this master-piece. I have tried many, many putters over the years and I believe the Futura is the 'magic putter' that we've all been looking for.
Review & Rating Summary: I have searched for over 30 years for that 'magic-putter' and believe that I have finally found it. It is the Scotty Cameron Futura.
After getting past the red grip and bulky looks of the putter, I was amazed at how pleasing the putter looked behind the ball and how easy it was to align the putter. After making just about every putt I tried I truly believe that the Futura putter is the "magic-putter' we've all been looking for.

Titleist Pro V1 - Drivers - Great ball. It really is worth the high price. If you dont hit many greens maybe you can find a cheaper ball that is good all around such as Ben Hogan Hawk or Precept U Tri Tour 25-30$. If you can get
Titleist 980F - Fairway Woods - Great club. I'm very pleased with this buy. Wish I would have done so a few years ago.
Titleist Vokey 260-04 Chrome - Wedges - I recently read that the list of top short game players corresponds to the top money earners. The lob wedge is a vital part of the short game armoury and the Vokey wedge fulfills all my expectations.
Titleist ProV1x 2008 - Balls - Great ball for those that keep the ball in play and don't lose many. For this price, you can't afford to lose them often.
