Scotty Cameron Phantom X Putters Review

The latest cutting edge technologies help extract even more performance from the latest generations of the 5, 5.5, 5s, 7, 7.5, 9, 9.5, 11 and 11.5. There is also a new 11 Long model, but no upgraded Phantom 12 in the 2024 range.

The new Phantom putters all have stability weighting thanks two stainless steel heel-toe weights which are customisable, as well as stepless steel shafts.

There is also a new double milled face design to the 2024 Phantom X putters for even more consistency. How does each of the models perform and rate?

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5 Putter Review

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5 Putter 2024

The Phantom X 5 is a traditional mallet in both looks and performance, but has the feel of a blade for the perfect combination golfers love.

The putter head features two wings to create a balanced flat stick. The X on the aluminium sole plate also provides perfect balance in the center of the putter.

The face is now a dual milled 303 stainless steel and produces the ideal roll on the ball whether from close range or distance.

The X 5 has a single mid-bend shaft, which focuses the eyes onto the dominant alignment line to ensure you have more chance of making those all important putts.

Scotty Cameron have pimped up this popular mallet to now include a revamped Pistolero Plus grip combining decorative and non-slip textures in the new design.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5.5 Putter Review

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5.5 Putter 2024

The X 5.5 putter is very similar to the X 5, but the key design difference of this model is in the shaft, which is a small slant or what Scotty Cameron describe as a I-beam jet neck.

This model has been inspired by the prototype that Justin Thomas has had in his bag on tour, including when winning the 2022 USPGA Championship.

The X sole plate is self-centering sole in this model, while the weight has been distributed to the perimeter of the putter head to increased the MOI and improve forgiveness and stability.

The face is now a dual precision milled 303 stainless steel, while the sole plate is aluminium to help with the weight distribution.

The X 5.5 putter features new milled topline sight dots and the new Pistolero Plus grip.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5S Putter Review

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5S Putter 2024

The X 5S putter also features the two wing design but has been given a slight makeover from previous versions of this model.

Ideally suited to players with a straight back and through putting stroke, this Scotty Cameron putter has a straight shaft and a milled topline sight line.

The design has been created to help keep the putter square through the stroke over any distance from a testing three footer to a lengthy putt from the other end of the green.

The X 5s is also face balanced with zero offset, has the precision dual milled 303 stainless steel face, the new center-balanced 6061 aluminum sole and stainless steel sole weights.

The X 5s putter also features the new Pistolero Plus grip and new cavity milled cherry dots for alignment.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 7 Putter Review

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 7 Putter 2024

Scotty Cameron have left no stone unturned to eek out even more performance from the X 7 model, which has been redesigned in the new Phantom X range.

A popular option among tour players, the X 7 putter has been altered with longer and more angular wings than in previous generations with the contours updated in the 2024 version.

Scotty Cameron’s tweaks have resulted in weight being moved to the back and perimeter of the putter head to aid alignment and forgiveness thanks to a higher MOI. The new milled sight line and white lines also help line up those putts.

The 303 precision dual milled solid stainless steel face is joined by a new center-balanced aluminum X sole to improve stability and forgiveness in the 2024 model.

The single mid-bend shaft produces a face-balanced putter that is easier to keep square through impact, and there is a newly shaped flange in the 7 too.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 7.5 Putter Review

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 7.5 Putter 2024

The sister putter to the X7, the X 7.5 model is identical in all but the shaft with this version having a small slant or jet neck design.

This shaft gives the X 7.5 a slight toe flow but otherwise the look and design is exactly the same as the X 7 model.

The high-MOI of this mallet means you get added stability and forgiveness with the improved perimeter weighting contributing significantly.

You get a 303 precision dual milled solid stainless steel face, new center-balanced aluminum X sole, sole weights, new Pistolero Plus grip and alignment features in this face-balanced putter.

The X 7.5 was first revealed when launched as the H21 Limited Proto putter, which was released in 2021 ahead of the Phantom X range being revealed.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 9 Putter Review

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 9 Putter 2024

The Phantom X 9 has been given a new look once again to improve the all-round performance on a number of fronts.

The shape is now “ring-weighted” with the changes made giving the X9 more angular wings to work with a heavier dual milled stainless steel head and lightweight 6061 aluminum flange.

The end result is optimized face balance in this mallet and a higher-MOI than in the previous version, which can be altered further by the adjustable stainless steel sole weights.

There is also a further change thanks to the two new prominent sight lines milled from the leading edge to the back of the putter head for improved alignment aid.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 9.5 Putter Review

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 9.5 Putter 2024

Near identical to the Phantom X 9, the only difference is that the Phantom X 9.5 putter comes with a small slant or jet neck shaft.

The shaft promotes more of a toe flow than it’s twin, and the new X 9.5, which was initially released in 2021 as the Phantom X 9.5 Triple Black limited putter.

Just like the X 9, this model has the wings and centre balanced X design connected via a lightweight 6061 aluminum flange-sole.

This model also boasts the new double large alignment line on it to help hole more putts.

Boasting a high MOI, the X 9.5 has a solid 303 stainless steel face, stainless steel sole weights to create an adjustable set up and a new Pistolero Plus grip.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 11 Putter Review

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 11 Putter 2024

Scotty Cameron have given the X 11 a makeover, most notably with the new X sole design that provides a centre balanced putter with a high MOI for forgiveness.

The design of the 11 is very similar to both the X 5 and the new X 12 models, but notably the wings have been trimmed in this design.

To help with optimal weight distribution, balance and feel, a new, sole-mounted stainless steel wing has been incorporated into the new design to increase MOI and forgiveness.

Scotty Cameron have added alignment-assisting sculpted mill marks accented with a single sight line.

The X 11 putter has a mid-bend shaft to keep the dual milled 303 stainless steel face straighter through impact, a 6061 aluminum flange sole component and stainless steel sole weights that allow for perimeter weighting.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 11 Long Putter Review

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 11 Long Putter 2024

The new addition to the 2024 range, the X 11 Long is the same design as the X 11 but with a 38-inch counterbalanced long shaft and heavier putter head.

It features a longer and heavier grip that is 17-inches in length and 135-gram in weight, and also has a heavier clubhead with two 25-gram sole weights.

To optimize the balance of the X11, the mid-bend shaft has been made stiffer and the overall result is a supremely balanced mallet and once which produces a slower putting stroke.

This model has an ideal CG depth and is high in MOI for the maximum forgiveness on the greens. It also has the dual milled 303 stainless steel face and a 6061 aluminum flange sole component design.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 11.5 Putter Review

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 11.5 Putter 2024

An near-identical twin of the X 11 putter, the Phantom X 11.5 differs in one aspect – the low bend shaft and the toe flow design for a more blade-like performance from a mallet.

Like the 11, this is a face-balanced model with a high-MOI and weighting from the customisable stainless steel sole weights to reduce rotating through impact.

The X 11.5 features the new X sole plate, a 303 stainless steel face that is now dual milled, the same sweeping look and alignment aids as the X 11.

The sole mounted wings are also joined by a new improved vibration damping technology to help add to the high MOI level and optimize the CG.

The X 11.5 is ideally suited to golfers with an arced putting stroke.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 12 Putter Review

Scotty Cameron Phantom X 12 Putter

The X 12 putter is no new in the 2024 range with Scotty Cameron sticking with the 2022 version which had been redesigned to become the highest MOI model in the Phantom X range.

More forgiving than ever, the large putter head provides even more confidence over the ball and is now easier to align than previous models.

The putter head now has longer look thanks to the altered wings, stability weights and elongated connecting flange and alignment lines never created this long before.

They combine with the 6061 aluminum face, stainless steel sole weights and the new centre-balanced X sole to create Scotty Cameron’s highest MOI mallet yet.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X Putters Review: Are they any good?

The Phantom X putters range has always been among Scotty Cameron’s best performing mallets and the new 2024 designs have helped hone performance further.

The variety of models and shaft options have been given makeovers to produce even more roll from a dual milled face.

While the performance is not in doubt, as with all previous Scotty Camerons these putters come with a hefty price tag and that rules out a good chunk of golfers.

If they are in your price range, the latest designs are well worth considering as a new mallet putter for 2024.
