With a massive change to putters the FUTURA Putter family has GONE
Scotty Cameron has created his most technically advanced putter
line to date with the 2019 Phantom X family – a collection of nine new modern
mallets engineered to take putting performance to the next level.
The
Phantom X line presents players with a variety of new mallet setups built
around a cohesive mix of five head styles, with multiple shaft bend and
alignment options. To maximize MOI, each Phantom X model incorporates multi-material
construction featuring precision milled solid aluminum faces integrated with
303 stainless steel heads with enhanced vibration dampening technology.
Available
in golf shops worldwide beginning April 12 2019 , Phantom X replaces the Futura
family while advancing Titleist Master Putter Maker Scotty Cameron’s proven
multi-material construction methodology of combining 303 stainless steel and
6061 aircraft-grade aluminum for increased MOI, optimal weight distribution,
improved sound and responsive feedback.
QUOTING
SCOTTY CAMERON: “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.”
2019
PHANTOM X TECHNOLOGY: The Phantom X line comprises nine modern mallets based on five
new, refined and streamlined head shapes – featuring low-bend, mid-bend and
straight shaft setups, in addition to a variety of flange orientations and
improved alignment cues:
• FIVE
NEW HIGH-TECH, MULTI-MATERIAL HEADS: Each Phantom X putter is a precision
milled, multi-component mallet based on one of five new head designs. These
models are slightly more compact than their Futura predecessors with sleek,
ground-hugging contours that pleasingly angle away from the player to inspire
confidence at address, yet still employ aluminum and steel components perfectly
matched for optimal shape and weight distribution.
• TOUR
PREFERRED ALIGNMENT: A variety of tour-preferred setups offer 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. Alignment features have been accentuated with longer,
racing-inspired lines and triple milled sight dots highlighted in neon yellow
paint to frame the golf ball at address.
• MULTIPLE
SHAFT BEND OPTIONS: With three shaft options – low-bend, mid-bend and
straight – offered across the Phantom X line, players have more choices with
regard to 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 to promote an arc in the putting stroke.
The Phantom X 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12 models have a slightly taller, mid-bend shaft
for a near-face balanced setup that produces less toe flow than the .5 models.
The Phantom X 6STR has a straight shaft with zero offset.
• SOLID
FACE TECHNOLOGY: Each Phantom X mallet is constructed with a
standard-milled, 6061 aircraft aluminum face anodized black that extends back
and through the flange areas of each model. This results in solid feedback,
while preserving the soft feel players prefer.
• NEW
CUSTOM DESIGNED GRIP: The Phantom X line marks the debut of the new
Pistolero Plus grip in cement gray with gloss black paintfill. The Pistolero
Plus is a modified Pistolero grip with a thicker, less tapered right (low) hand
that combines the tour-preferred performance and feel of a rubber
Pistolero-style grip with a slightly built-up feel perfectly suited to mallet
putters.
2019 PHANTOM
X MODELS: The nine new Phantom X models deliver key performance benefits
in design, construction, alignment and shaft bend options:
• Phantom
X 5: The evolution of this Tour-proven wingback mallet with a single
mid-bend shaft continues with a solid aluminum face anodized in black that
extends back into the stepped down flange, framed by misted stainless steel.
Three milled topline sight dots painted neon yellow and framed with polished
aluminum provide 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 provides enhanced toe flow for players seeking stability while still
creating an arc in the stroke. This bend was inspired by Justin Thomas’ Tour
prototype setup and combines some of the feel of a blade putter with the
forgiveness benefits of a mallet.
• Phantom
X 6: A face balanced mallet with a single mid-bend shaft provides distinct
alignment cues, with two long neon yellow sight lines milled into the stepped
down flange, framing three milled sight dots on the misted black anodized
topline. Customizable sole weights increase MOI and stability through the
stroke.
• Phantom
X 6STR: Constructed without a spud and with zero offset, the straight
shafted 6STR produces face balanced performance with a clean and minimalist
look at address. The topline sight dots of the Phantom X 6STR are painted neon
yellow for easy alignment in conjunction with the extended neon yellow sight
lines in the stepped down flange.
• Phantom
X 7: A single mid-bend-shafted, near-face balanced setup, Phantom X 7
features a heel-to-toe tapered aluminum face that is sculpted into a raised
center flange for a continuous, connected surface from the leading edge all the
way back. Framed by stepped down, angular stainless steel components, the
Phantom X7 combines the benefits of long flange sight lines with a
semi-traditional topline for easy horizontal and vertical alignment at setup.
Also available in a left-handed model.
• Phantom
X 7.5: With a single low-bend shaft crafted to promote enhanced toe flow
with forgiveness, the Phantom X 7.5 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 in a left-handed model.
• Phantom
X 8: Inspired by touring professionals seeking a putter with simple visual
cues and a continuous transition from leading edge through the back flange, the
Phantom X 8 is a sleek, near-face balanced mallet with a single mid-bend shaft.
Milled sight dots and neon yellow sight lines perfectly frame the golf ball for
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 offers players an unbroken, sculpted
flange from the putter’s leading edge through the back flange with a single
low-bend shaft to promote a slightly arced putting stroke. Alignment is easy
with bright visual cues.
• Phantom
X 12: With swept-back wings precision milled from 303 stainless steel, this
near-face balanced, high-MOI mallet with a single mid-bend shaft employs the
continuous alignment features of the Phantom X line’s full
leading-edge-to-flange construction – crafted from aircraft grade aluminum,
anodized black and accented with neon yellow sight cues. The ultimate in
technology, stability and forgiveness.
PHANTOM X
WEIGHTING & SHAFTS: Each new Phantom X putter features advanced stability weighting
with two, customizable stainless steel heel-toe weights and stepless steel
shafts.
FINISH
& GRAPHICS: The Phantom X line’s 6061 aircraft grade aluminum components
have been anodized black in a misted finish that helps to reduce sun glare. The
303 stainless steel putter head components have also been misted for a radiant
yet glare resistant appearance. Scotty’s familiar three-dot theme carries
through to the back cavities of the Phantom X 5, 5.5, 6 and 6STR as unpainted,
raw circles revealed by milling away the black anodization. Neon yellow
paintfill provides bold visual guidance in sight lines, while sight dots have
been double-milled to highlight the neon yellow paintfill with a ring of
silver-colored aluminum.
AVAILABILITY: Scotty Cameron Phantom X
putters will be available on April 12, 2019, through Titleist authorized golf
shops at $699.
