Adding performance options to the Scotty Cameron Phantom X family, five new Phantom X mallet putters joined the 2022 line. Scotty has updated the Phantom X 5 and 5.5 putters, added the all-new zero-offset Phantom X 5s and updated the Phantom X 11 and Phantom X 11.5 models. These new mallets complete a 10-putter line-up of Scotty Cameron Phantom X high-performance mallets that have been trusted to multiple victories on the worldwide professional golf tours and are in play among dedicated golfers everywhere.
Five new models were released in April – the Phantom X 7, 7.5, 9, 9.5 and 12 – with the new additions that arrived a few months later. The full 2022 Phantom X mallet putter family features entirely new head shapes, as well as updates to popular models. The putters also include a new textured grip, new graphics and premium styling. Tour-preferred milled 303 stainless steel face construction carries through to nearly every new model.
The new Phantom X 11 and Phantom X 11.5 models expand on the line extensions Scotty introduced in early 2021 and incorporate feedback from golf’s top players. In the hands of touring professionals, the new Phantom X family got off to a fast start on the PGA Tour in 2022 with wins at The American Express, then at the Zurich Classic, Wells Fargo Championship and the season’s second major, the PGA Championship. LPGA champions, as well as players on the Korean PGA Tour and DP World Tour, have also trusted Phantom X putters to victory. Additionally, a Phantom X 11 was trusted to victory on the Australasian Tour and a Phantom X 11.5 was played to a title on the South African Sunshine Tour.
Some of the top LPGA players use the Phantom X 5.5 – inspired by the Futura X 5.5 gamer that Justin Thomas has used to win many of his PGA Tour titles. Last season, Patrick Cantlay recorded the Tour all-time putting performance at the BMW Championship with his Phantom X 5, gaining more strokes putting (+14.6) than any player in a single tournament since they began tracking the statistic in 2004.
“With the 10-putter Phantom X lineup now complete, mallet players will have a full range of choices in Phantom X designs. From different neck and shaft configurations to the variety of overall head shapes, to our integration of solid stainless steel faces with aluminium sole components, the Phantom X family is all about premium precision milled mallets designed for those looking to make more putts. The all-new Phantom X 5s is our straight-shafted model for that ultra-mechanical stroke. The new Phantom X 11 and 11.5 have been refined and updated with the same look and feel of the current 2022 line including the new sole design and overall aesthetics,” said Scotty Cameron.
Each new 2022 Phantom X putter is an integration of steel and aluminium, with nine of the 10 models engineered specifically with a solid, precision-milled 303 stainless steel face and body that’s expertly fused with a 6061 aircraft grade aluminium sole and flange component.
Precision milled in the United States from a block of solid 303 stainless steel, the new Phantom X 5s, Phantom X 11 and Phantom X 11.5 models were designed with a solid stainless steel face that is carried through to the body/wings and integrated with an aluminium sole/flange component for performance and playability with consistent sound and soft feel.
Designed with feedback from touring professionals – and validated with multiple victories around the world – the new 2022 Phantom X mallets further express player preferences with features like precision milled solid stainless steel faces, sleek putter head profiles, refined alignment cues, high durability finishes, and specific shaft and neck configurations.
The refreshed Phantom X 11.5 features a low-bend stepless steel shaft installed over a milled topline spud, while the Phantom X 11 has a stepless steel shaft engineered to minimize face rotation with a single mid-bend aimed directly down the target line. The all-new Phantom X 5s has a straight stepless steel shaft installed near the centre point of the topline with zero offset.
The Phantom X line offer golfers multiple mallet options in 33″, 34″ and 35″ lengths:
- Phantom X 5:Updated for 2022 with a new sole plate design and graphics, this Tour-proven, near-face balanced mid-mallet with a single bend shaft returns with a solid face configuration precision milled from 303 stainless steel, integrated with an updated aluminium sole plate and customizable stainless steel sole weights.
- Phantom X 5.5: The small slant/jet neck setup inspired by Justin Thomas’ prototype gamer returns in the latest Phantom X 5.5. Its solid face/body configuration is precision milled from 303 stainless steel and integrated with the line’s updated aluminium sole plate and customizable stainless steel sole weights. Also available left-handed.
- Phantom X 5s: The popular Phantom X 5 wingback mid-mallet shape enters the line with a straight shaft and a milled topline sight line for players favouring a straight-back-straight-through putting stroke and zero offset. This straight shafted model has a solid milled stainless steel face, customizable sole weights and sports the line’s new precision milled aluminium sole plate design.
- Phantom X 11: Updated with the 2022 Phantom X sole design and new graphics, the high-MOI face-balanced wingback Phantom X 11 arrives with a mid-bend shaft and a solid precision milled 303 stainless steel face, topline, body and wings integrated with an aluminium flange/sole component with simple alignment cues and customizable stainless steel sole weights. The new Phantom X 11 shares design similarities with the wingback Phantom X 12 and Phantom X 5 yet provides a new option in performance-oriented mallets for players seeking high MOI and stability in a more compact platform.
- Phantom X 11.5: Identical to the Phantom X 11 except for its shaft configuration, the new 11.5 adds another compact mallet option to the high-tech Phantom X line. This high-MOI wingback mallet with a low-bend shaft for slight toe flow and a solid precision milled 303 stainless steel face, topline, body and wings integrated with an aluminium flange/sole component with simple alignment cues and customizable stainless steel sole weights features the line’s updated graphics and sole design.
Each new Phantom X putter features advanced stability weighting with two customisable stainless steel heel-toe weights and stepless steel shafts.
New Phantom X models come with an updated Pistolero Plus grip with a non-slip and decorative texture that, like its Pistolero Plus predecessors, has less taper in the low hand for the ideal combination of size, feel and feedback when paired with Phantom X mallet putters.
The 2022 Phantom X stainless steel putter heads all undergo Scotty’s silver mist process for a near-permanent, radiant, yet glare resistant, appearance and texture. The 6061 aircraft grade aluminum components have been misted and anodized black. Scotty’s familiar three-dot theme carries through to the back cavity of the new Phantom X 5s as unpainted, raw circles milled into the stainless steel. The sight line on the 5s is painted black, while sight lines on the Phantom X 11 and Phantom X 11.5 models are accented in light gray.
The Phantom X 5, X 5.5, X 5s, Phantom X 11, X 11.5 models are priced at RM1,920.
