If you make putters for the best players in the world, then all that matters is performance measured in putts made and strokes gained on the green.
While the financial stakes might not be as high for you, there’s a lot of your precious time that you invest in getting away to play golf. You want those magic moments just as much as the very best. The green is where you experience that joy or frustration. Let’s make sure it's more of the joy. Your putting stroke and your putter matters.
The Phantom X line, from Scotty Cameron, presents a range of the most sought-after head shapes and neck/shaft configurations for golfers seeking today’s most advanced mallet designs.
The PHANTOM X 5 provides the performance and alignment benefits of a mallet with the feel of a blade in a near face-balanced model.
The PHANTOM X 5.5 with a slant neck. Like the other models, combined heavier steel and lighter aluminum means weight at the perimeter, increasing MOI, stability and forgiveness.
The PHANTOM X 5s works for golfers with a straight-back-straight-through putting stroke. A straight shaft and milled topline sight line, make it easy to square the face and aim the putter.
The PHANTOM X 7 has long, angular wings that both aid alignment and position weight toward the back and perimeter.
The PHANTOM X 7.5 is identical to the X 7 except for the small slant or jet flow in the neck.
The PHANTOM X 9 is about stability. This near-face balanced mallet’s profile offers excellent alignment and high-MOI in a clean, “connected”, and compact shape.
The PHANTOM X 9.5 is identical to the X 9 except for the small slant or jet flow in the neck and works best with a more arcing or blade-like stroke.
The PHANTOM X 11 is a face-balanced putter with a clean topline and a misted “popped up” back flange that includes alignment-assisting sculpted mill marks.
The PHANTOM X 11.5 is again identical to the X 11 except for the low-bend shaft for golfers who prefer to create an arced putting stroke.
The PHANTOM X 12 is among the most advanced face balanced high-MOI mallets to date with a longer look to make alignment effortless.
Each of these putters works for specific putting strokes and prioritizes different benefits. To get to any decision, the starting point is not the ‘putter’, but the person doing the ‘putting’. And the end result we want isn’t a new putter, it’s a better putting performance. Remember “it’s Sunday that matters”.
