Scotty Cameron’s new Futura X7 and Futura X7M putters are designed to deliver more stability and consistency on the putting green, with a multi-material construction that boosts the forgiveness of the putters.

[quote_box_center]“The motivation behind Futura X always has been to help golfers make a more stable, more balanced, more consistent, more confident stroke,” Scotty Cameron said in a Titleist press release. “We’ve enhanced those benefits with X7 and X7M through larger, multi-material constructions that make alignment simple. For the golfer, that translates into higher MOI for stability, a bigger sweet spot for forgiveness, easier alignment for a more confident setup, and a better, softer feel.”[/quote_box_center]

Golfers familiar with Cameron’s Futura X5 putter will notice that the X7 shares the same head shape, with the X7 being approximately 10 percent larger.

[quote_box_center]“The X7 is a line extension of the X5. It has the same head shape, but larger,” Cameron said. “A lot of touring pros requested it be larger. The larger we make it, the more forgiving it becomes with a larger sweet spot. This also allows us to add more alignment lines. The more lines, the easier it is to line up the ball.”[/quote_box_center]

What might go undetected, however, at least until golfers hit a putt with the X7, is the change in construction. The X7 uses what Cameron calls an “aluminum face-sole core,” which is surrounded by a stainless steel frame. Also, since the face of the X7 is made from aluminum, it will deliver a softer feel than the X5, which uses a 303 stainless steel putter face.

[quote_box_center]“The key feature is the two materials,” Cameron said. “Basically there are two constructions involved here. The feel and sound of the lightweight midsection are married together with the heavier surrounding heel, toe and back to be more forgiving, for better performance.”[/quote_box_center]

The X7M offers golfers a shape that resembles the X7, but adds what Cameron calls a “Bar-back design” that further boosts the MOI of the putter.

[quote_box_center]“With X7M, I wanted a round shape with a crisp and sharp look for alignment,” Cameron said. “X7 and X7M have a lot of the same features but the X7M is manipulated and made with a back weight for more MOI – thus the name, X7M, where the ‘M’ stands for MOI. Instead of having big ears and weights in the back [as in the Futura X], which some might call cumbersome, the bar on the back with the weights streamlines the shape. A few tour players also said shadowing on the course can sometimes affect sight lines, so on the X7M I raised the alignment lines and made them even longer.”[/quote_box_center]

The X7M is also available in a Dual Balance model, which uses a heavier head (400 grams) that is counterbalanced with a 15-inch grip and a 50-gram weight installed in the butt end of the putter.

    I got an X7m to try as a replacement for my Odessey Teron. I really like it. The face is not quite as soft as the Odyssey (but softer than my Newport) which I really like because I get more feedback. The Odessey feels a wee bit soft/mushy sometimes. My distance control with the X7M is fantastic. The Teron and X7M but have alignment aids out the wazoo which I like. I really feel like I have a chance to hole every putt. I don’t care about the designs origin one little bit; I care about improving my score and this putter feels great to me.

    Think Scotty must have run out of ideas! Blatant rip off, odyssey shape and he must of googled RAA 3D putter, they put the bar on the back way before and if you test them together on Quintic ALL the RAA putters out perform Cameron’s- FACT

    “Milled from a solid block of 303 Stainless Steel”… Oh wait, I see what you did here…

    Couldn’t Scotty have at least used a different number when stealing Odyssey’s #7 design?

    I tried them this past weekend. They’re pretty nice. I preferred the 7M. The insert isn’t bad, honestly.

    I have yet to meet someone who likes that insert. Not saying “nobody likes it”, just not a fan.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
