Special Release Features Four Tour-Inspired Mallet Designs with Tour Black Finish
Titleist announces new Scotty Cameron Phantom Black putters, a limited release lineup of four new Phantom mallets made with tour-inspired modifications and features, each in an elegant Tour Black finish.
In select Titleist golf shops worldwide beginning Friday, July 25, the new Phantom Black putters will be offered in four models: the Phantom Black 5.5 (available in right-hand and left-hand), Phantom Black 7, Phantom Black 9.2R and Phantom Black 11. These special release models showcase new, tour-developed setups, player-preferred shapes, custom alignment cues, unique shaft configurations, chain-link face milling, modern head weights and a Tour Black finish.
QUOTING FOUNDER AND MASTER CRAFTSMAN SCOTTY CAMERON
“With last year’s B3 Triple Black Design LTD putters, we re-introduced to dedicated golfers our Tour Black finish on some very desirable blades. This time, we focused on the mallets, notably the Phantom models we most commonly modify for tour players. With the Phantom Black 5.5, 7, 9.2R and 11 mallets, we have created four new models that incorporate specific feedback from the pros related to alignment, overall shape, neck configuration and, of course, the Tour Black finish.”
QUOTING SENIOR DIRECTOR OF PUTTER R&D AUSTIE ROLLINSON
“With the Phantom Black putters, we’ve created new models based on the prototype Phantom designs we developed for tour players. For example, the double bend shaft used on the Phantom Black 7 was crafted specifically for a player looking to emulate the way a plumbing neck provides alignment. Many players have ordered the Phantom 5.5 and Phantom 11 in our Tour Black finish with different alignment configurations. And the Phantom Black 9.2R is a completely new model with a custom plumbing neck and rounded contours. Each Phantom Black putter is a response to a tour player request. From the Tour Black finish to new sight line configurations and neck designs, we’re excited to offer these tour-inspired models to dedicated golfers looking for a tour-like mallet putter.”
PHANTOM BLACK MODELS
Each one of the four new Phantom Black models features the line’s Tour Black finish as well as chain-link face milling, delivering a clean, tour-inspired look with exceptional feel and feedback at impact.
Phantom Black 5.5
The Phantom Black 5.5 maintains the popular mid-mallet’s wing-back shape and jet neck while incorporating a custom sight line configuration. A limited run of left-hand models will also be offered.
Phantom Black 7
The Phantom Black 7 includes custom alignment features and a unique, double bend shaft configuration that was originally developed with a prominent tour player to promote a precise setup and near-face balanced performance.
Phantom Black 9.2R
Originating from tour player feedback and designed with a custom sight line, rounded features and a custom “009-inspired” plumbing neck that is slightly shorter and set farther back toward the heel for additional face awareness compared stock plumbing neck, the all-new Phantom Black 9.2R is a tour-inspired mallet in an all-new shape and setup.
Phantom Black 11
The face balanced Phantom Black 11 is a multi-material mallet with high MOI, stability and forgiveness. The setup includes a mid-bend shaft and parallel sight lines for laser-straight alignment.
TOUR BLACK FINISH
The Tour Black finish on the Phantom Black models comes from a PVD treatment applied to the 303 stainless steel putter head, resulting in a dark look that reduces glare. The 6061 aircraft grade aluminum components are misted and anodized black.
CHAIN-LINK FACE MILLING TECHNOLOGY
Chain-link face milling reduces the putter face’s touch points at impact with the ball, using a texture that softens the sound and provides tour-preferred roll characteristics while preserving feel and feedback off the putter face.
WEIGHTING
The Phantom Black putter line features performance balanced weighting with two, customizable stainless steel heel-toe sole weights. The 10-gram, 15-gram and 20-gram weights are matched to the associated putter lengths of 33 inches, 34 inches and 35 inches. The loft on each model is 3.5 degrees and the lie angle is 70 degrees.
ACCESSORIES
Each Phantom Black putter features a custom-designed, urethane-coated Matador grip and a matching Phantom Black headcover and shaft band.
AVAILABILITY
Phantom Black putters will be available worldwide on July 25, at select Titleist authorized golf shops, while supplies last. MSRP: $750.
