Cameron Futura 5W and shaft offset


sbangerter1969

Recommended Posts

I currently own a Futura 5W, whose look I love, but would prefer a 1/2 shaft offset versus the full shaft offset that it comes with. I have rolled a Spider tour and the offset provided by the slant shaft feels perfect for my release, but I can't stand the look of the Spider putter. Anyone have any ideas on how to achieve the 1/2 shaft offset?

Buy a new single bend shaft and tip it about 3/4". Should get you close to half shaft, plus you will have the original to reinstall if you choose to sell it later.

You didn't plan to fail, you failed to plan!

Unfortunately, you're not likely to find an alternate bend shaft with the correct tip diameter or bend angle, as all of the recent year's worth of Scotty bend shafts have proprietary tips :-(

 

Odysseys, however, use .370" parallel, which is the standard tip for aftermarket bent tip shafts.

Have you reached out to the custom shop to see if they would be willing to do the work?

I looked at the Custom Options section for Scotty's site and it doesn't appear to be an available option.

Check the spieth thread from earlier today. I posted s picture of my spider weld Cameron 5w

very nice work and great results for you. Can I ask what the effective difference is between the flow neck you had added and the slant neck currently on Spider Tour Putters? Do they generate the same function or does the flow neck create more toe hang?

I think it may be possible to achieve this with just taking out the stock shaft, tipping it and re-inserting it. As long as you make the cut parallel to the original you should be okay. Just be sure you don't take off to much to mess with the way the hosel inserts to the shaft. I heave heard of others trimming the hosel to get a bit more toe hang but i would try to do it without at first. If you look at the one Steve Sticker(pics below) was using you can see the bend is closer to the top line.

 

I'm not a club builder and have not tried this but just seems like the easiest/cheapest way to go. Keep us posted on which way you go.

 

Adding a weld neck will change the head weight for sure so that is something to keep in mind if you already like everything about the putter except for the offset. You will also need to re finish after welding so that can add a lot of $$.

This works, just isn't reversible for resale if that's a concern. Doesn't add as much toe hang, but adds a touch. The spud on Stricker's putter is angled more forward than the stock 5w. His is similar to the 5.5M.
