New Scotty Cameron Phantom X Putters: “The most high tech putter line we’ve designed to date”

Published

on

Scotty Cameron has unveiled the new Phantom X Putters, a collection of nine new modern mallets.

The new Phantom X line offers players with a variety of new mallet setups built around a mix of five head styles, with multiple shaft bend and alignment options. Each Phantom X model incorporates multi-material construction featuring precision milled solid aluminum faces integrated with 303 stainless steel heads which is designed to maximize MOI while dampening unwanted vibration.

According to the company, the new Scotty Cameron Phantom X Putters are slightly more compact than their Futura predecessors and feature ground-hugging contours that angle away from the player with the aim of providing the player with confidence at address. While the aluminum and steel components are engineered to provide optimal shape and weight distribution.

The Phantom X Putters feature multiple alignment options, including continuous lines from the leading edge all the way back; simple sight dots; raised or stepped down flanges; and wider or “vanishing” toplines. These alignment features have been accentuated with longer, racing-inspired lines and triple-milled sight dots highlighted in neon yellow paint which aims to help players to frame the golf ball at address.

Speaking on the latest additions, master craftsman Scotty Cameron stated

“Phantom X is by far the most high tech putter line we’ve designed to date. This product is so much faster looking, and taken to the next level, that it needed a new name. It’s a major leap in performance. We’ve designed a variety of flange setups, alignment options and shaft bends to offer mallet players more models to choose from.”

“I was inspired by Tour players who’ve asked for slightly smaller profiles with more alignment options and solid face construction. The engineering has been ramped up to an entirely new level to bring this brand new line to life. Phantom X is the ultimate lineup for mallet players.”

The new mallet putters feature three shaft options – low-bend, mid-bend and straight –offering players options tailored towards their preferred amount of toe flow.

Phantom X models with “.5” in the name (i.e., 5.5, 7.5 and 8.5) have a shorter, low-bend shaft configuration with one shaft of offset for more toe flow which looks to promote an arc in the putting stroke. The Phantom X 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12 models, meanwhile, have a slightly taller, mid-bend shaft for a near-face balanced setup which aims to produce less toe flow than the .5 models. The Phantom X 6STR has a straight shaft with zero offset.

Here is a rundown of the nine new Phantom X models:

  • Phantom X 5: Wingback mallet with a single mid-bend shaft and aluminum face anodized in black that extends back into the stepped down flange, framed by stainless steel. The putter features three milled topline sight dots painted neon yellow and framed with polished aluminum which aims to provide a simple but effective alignment to the sweet spot.
  • Phantom X 5.5: Identical in shape to the Phantom X 5, the 5.5 has a lower shaft bend that aims to offer players enhanced toe flow while still creating an arc in the stroke. 
  • Phantom X 6: A face balanced mallet with a single mid-bend shaft which features two long neon yellow sight lines milled into the stepped down flange, framing three milled sight dots on the black anodized topline with the purpose of offering clear alignment cues. The putter includes customizable sole weights, which aims to increase MOI and stability through the stroke.
  • Phantom X 6STR: Constructed without a spud and with zero offset, the straight shafted 6STR is designed to produce face balanced performance while containing a clean and minimalist look at address. The topline sight dots of the Phantom X 6STR are neon yellow which in conjunction with the extended neon yellow sight lines in the stepped down flange, aims to provide easy alignment.
  • Phantom X 7: With a single mid-bend-shafted, near-face balanced setup, the Phantom X 7 features a heel-to-toe tapered aluminum face that is sculpted into a raised centre flange, for a continuous, connected surface from the leading edge all the way back. Featuring angular stainless steel components, and framed by stepped down, the Phantom X 7 looks to provide the benefits of long flange sight lines with a semi-traditional topline for easy horizontal and vertical alignment at setup. Also available for left-handers.
  • Phantom X 7.5: Features a single low-bend shaft which aims to promote enhanced toe flow with forgiveness. The putter also employs a raised center flange offering a continuous, connected surface accented with neon yellow alignment cues from the leading edge through the back flange, Also available for left-handers.
  • Phantom X 8: A near-face balanced mallet with a single mid-bend shaft. Milled sight dots and neon yellow sight lines frame the golf ball in a design which looks to provide players with a seamless alignment without distractions.
  • Phantom X 8.5: Differing from the Phantom X 8 only in shaft bend length and increased toe hang, the Phantom X 8.5 features a sculpted flange from the putter’s leading edge through the back flange with a single low-bend shaft which aims to promote a slightly arced putting stroke.
  • Phantom X 12: Featuring swept-back wings milled from 303 stainless steel, this near-face balanced, high-MOI mallet with a single mid-bend shaft is accented with neon yellow sight cues. Described by the company as “the ultimate in technology, stability and forgiveness.”

Each new Phantom X putter features stability weighting with two, customizable stainless steel heel-toe weights and stepless steel shafts. The Phantom X line also debuts the new Pistolero Plus grip in cement gray with gloss black paint fill. The Pistolero Plus is a modified Pistolero grip which features a thicker, less tapered right (low) hand, that according to the company, combines the performance and feel of a rubber Pistolero-style grip with a slightly built up feel perfectly suited to mallet putters.

The Phantom X putters will be available worldwide on April 5 and cost $429.

    I have some old Bobby Grace putters that look very similar from the bottom. Basically the same shape, the Grace putters are also mid-mallets, multi material and milled. I don’t get the SC thing, so I’m sceptical about the transcendence of some new design.

    They are Scotty Camerons, so they will be high quality and expensive, but honestly, even though you only see the bottom views, they look very similar to a bunch of odyssey models.

    Are they afraid to show the top of the ugly putter?

    I’m sure these feel and sound great. It’s just the way that these are described that makes me roll my eyes faster than these probably put a roll on the ball.

    And btw, we don’t care if these are the most technologically advanced putters to date… especially when Tiger is using one from 2000, and Jordan hasn’t changed his putter since high school.

    Is it just me or is Scotty behind the times on putters now? The Concept seemed ripped off from Sean Toulon’s Indianapolis. The Phantom seems ripped off from Taylormade’s Spider. And putter shafts seem to be hot trend now, and he’s stuck with basic steel shafts.

      But that’s all he’s ever done, rip off other ideas, right?
