futura bottom design

    I have not yet seen a Futura up close and I am curious as to the bottom contours.
    Is is a flat bottom, a concave bottom, V bottom?
    double concave bottom like a hell fire?
    How deep of a concave?

    Looking into a 6-4 Futura vs a Hell fire, I cant seem to get ahold of a 6-4 Hellfire. so maybe a Futura

    6'-6" tall 197 pounds heavy 50 years old
    riding:
    6-4 RF Dominator; mush to head high
    6-6 FST Quadra -Five; head high to dbl over head.
    (need a HELL FIRE 6-4 and still looking ; for shoulder to 3 foot over head)

    The Futura has a subtle single concave I believe. I think the earlier models all had very simple bottom contours designed to work together with the flex.
