Famously known for his Newport and Newport 2 putters, Scotty Cameron was thought of more a blade designer some twenty years back. It drove him crazy when he was told he couldn’t be great at everything. Today, Cameron says: “Now I’m designing blades and mallets and couldn’t be happier.”
For 2022, Scotty Cameron’s most high-tech putter, the Phantom X, has evolved into a 10-putter line featuring entirely new head shapes as well as updates to popular models. Apart from a new textured grip, graphics and premium styling, Tour-preferred milled 303 stainless steel face construction carries through to nearly every model.
New designs prompted by overwhelming response has led to Scotty redesigning the Phantom X 7 and 7.5 models and creating the brand-new Phantom X 9 and 9.5. Model refinements include the Phantom X 5, 5.5, and a straight-shafted Phantom X 5s; the Phantom X 11 and 11.5; and the Phantom X 12.
Each new Phantom X putter is an integration of steel and aluminium, with nine of the 10 models engineered with a solid, precision-milled 303 stainless steel face and body that’s fused with a 6061 aircraft grade aluminium sole and flange - this produces performance and playability with consistent sound and soft feel. Only the Phantom X 12 employs an aluminium face/sole with stainless steel wings for maximum MOI, while its slimmed down flange section and extended alignment create a longer-looking, easier-to-aim update to the prior model.
Designed with tour feedback and validated with multiple victories worldwide in 2021, the new Phantom X mallets also feature sleek putter head profiles, refined alignment cues, high durability finishes, and specific shaft and neck configurations.
