Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5.5 2021 Golf Putter

Phantom X 5.5

Inspired by Justin Thomas’ tour setup, the new Phantom X 5.5 replaces its predecessor and includes the small slant neck inspired by JT’s configuration, as well as the same overall sizing and material makeup. Designed to promote subtle toe flow with stability, it has a milled sight line on the topline. The solid face/body is precision milled 303 stainless steel integrated with an aluminium sole/flange component and customisable stainless steel sole weights. Available in both right and left-handed.

Scotty Cameron has created his most technically advanced line to date with the 2019 Phantom X family – a collection of 9 newly shaped mallet putters. The Phantom X family is a hi-tech putter line, each of the nine models feature a striking and helpful alignment aid, from simple dots to continuous sightlines, raised or stepped down flanges and wider or “disappearing” top-lines, these putters are designed to take putting performance to the next level.

The Phantom X line replaces the Futura family in the Scotty Cameron range of putters, the nine new mallet styles have different shaft bend and alignment options that are built around five different head shapes – the Phantom X 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12. Each one of the Phantom X putters incorporates a multi-material construction including a precision-milled aluminium face that is integrated with 303 stainless steel heads that have heightened vibration dampening technology, all of this technology maximises the MOI of each one of the putters.

Scotty Cameron took his inspiration for the long sightlines on the putters from fast cars and fighter jets, whilst the neon painted dots will help golfers to frame the ball at address. The three-shaft options – low-bend, mid-bend and straight – throughout the Phantom X line enables players to determine their desired amount of toe flow (“Toe hang” is a quality of toe-balanced putters. The clubface of a toe-balanced putter will, when the shaft of the putter is balanced lengthwise across a golfer’s finger, be angled toward the ground. In other words, the toe of such a putter will hang down, pointing toward the ground). Phantom X models with a “.5” suffix (i.e. 5.5, 7.5 and 8.5) have a shorter, low-bend shaft contour with one shaft of offset for more toe flow to encourage an arc through the putting path. The Phantom X 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12 models have a slightly taller, mid-bend shaft meaning you get a near-face balanced setup that provides less toe flow than the .5 models.
