SCOTTY CAMERON has added to it’s line of Phantom Putters, with new editions for 2021.
So while the Phantom X 5 and X 5.5 will replace the current options available. The new Phantom X 11 and and X 11.5 models, with wingback mallets – will add new options that are engineered for performance.
Both options are now available for purchase in golf shops around the world.
All four of the putters come with a solid stainless steel face, and bodies with shapes and neck configurations.
“Working with our games best players gives me the perspective into what they are looking for in a mallet putter. From the types of metals used to subtle changes in shaft, these new Phantom X models offer a brand new, highly requested options that build on our most popular models from 2020. I’ve had so many people asking for a putter like Justin Thomas’ gamer-and the Phantom X 5.5 is my direct answer. It has a solid 303 stainless steel face and body with aluminum in the sole and a small slant or ‘jet’ neck for more tole flow.”
“For less toe flow, we have the Phantom X 5 with a single bend shaft. With the Phantom X 11 or X 11.5, I was able to design a more compact wingback mallet with a stainless steel face in conjunction with a 6061 aircraft aluminum for a look and that just performs while being very stable and forgiving. This line extension adds for new options that will most definitely pique the interest of mallet players,” said Scott Cameron Master Putter Designer.”
Because the Phantom X 5 goes beyond an upgrade. Scotty completely did a redesign on the new X 5. This redone mid-mallet will bring in comparisons to past Futura models.
But the Phantom X 5.5 is inspired by the Justin Thomas’ tour setup, the new Phantom X 5.5 replaces it’s predecessor and includes a small slant neck inspired by JT’s upgrades to the putter.
Phantom X 11 has comparisons with the wingback Phantom X 12 and the new Phantom X 5. But it provides newer options in a compact, performance mallet. But this edition of the Phantom line adds darker visual alignment cures at address.
Phantom X 11.5 is identical to the X 11. But it’s shaft configurations are different. Because the low-bend shaft enhances tow-flow. This model has swept-back trimmed wings, and a clean topline. Now available at a MAP cost of $429.00. For more information see Titleist.com or Scottycameron.com/2021-phantom.x
