Technology and Design
- Double-Milled Faces: The faces of all Phantom putters are double milled, which involves two milling passes. The first pass removes material from the face, softening the feel at impact. The second pass smooths the face, making it flatter and more consistent.
- Alignment Schemes: The putters feature various alignment schemes, including subtle cues in the shape of the head, dots, lines, and arrows. These elements are designed to help golfers aim the putter more accurately.
- Multi-Material Construction: The putters are constructed with a combination of 303 stainless steel for the faces and 6061 aircraft aluminum for the sole plates and flanges. This allows for a larger, more forgiving design while maintaining a balance of weight and feel.
- New Head Shapes: The Phantom line includes four main head shapes: Phantom 5, Phantom 7, Phantom 9, and Phantom 11. Each model has unique features and alignment cues.
Other Features
- Vibration-Damping Membranes: The putters feature new vibration-damping membranes on the inside of the aluminum sole plates to reduce unwanted vibration and sound.
- Precision-Milled Construction: The putters are constructed with precision-milled solid stainless steel faces and heads, providing exceptional feel and roll.
The main differences between the Scotty Cameron Phantom 5 and Phantom 7 models are primarily related to their design and alignment features. Here are the key differences:
- Toe Hang and Alignment:
- Phantom 5: This model has a face-balanced design with no toe hang, making it suitable for golfers with a straight back-through stroke.
- Phantom 7: This model features a jet neck, which provides some toe hang and toe flow, making it more suitable for golfers with a moderate arc in their stroke.
- Alignment Aids:
- Phantom 5: The Phantom 5 has traditional alignment with the entire top line visible and only three dots to guide the way.
- Phantom 7: The Phantom 7 has continuous alignment with milled dots on the topline for alignment.
- Size and Feel:
- Phantom 5: The Phantom 5 is a compact mallet with a smaller head size compared to other Phantom models.
- Phantom 7: The Phantom 7 has a slightly larger head size compared to the Phantom 5.
- Neck Options:
- Phantom 5: The Phantom 5 is available with a spud hosel, which is nearly face balanced.
- Phantom 7: The Phantom 7 is available with a jet neck, which provides some toe hang.
- Overall Design:
- Phantom 5: The Phantom 5 has a more angular design with a 45-degree angle intersection of the side flanges and the front of the putter.
- Phantom 7: The Phantom 7 has a similar design to the Phantom 5 but with milled dots on the topline for alignment.
The Scotty Cameron Phantom 7 is generally considered more forgiving than the Phantom 5 due to its larger head size and higher MOI (moment of inertia).Key points:
- The Phantom 7 has a slightly larger head size compared to the more compact Phantom 5.
- Larger mallets like the Phantom 7 typically have higher MOI, which makes them more forgiving on off-center hits.
- The Phantom 7 is designed for golfers with a straight back-through putting stroke, while the Phantom 5 is suitable for those with a slight arc.
- Forgiveness is also influenced by personal preference and how the putter fits your stroke and eye.
The Scotty Cameron Phantom 7 is better suited for a straight back and through stroke. The Phantom 7 has a higher bend in the shaft, which makes it face balanced, ideal for players with less arc in their stroke. This design provides more stability and control for golfers who tend to have a straighter putting stroke.In contrast, the Phantom 7.5 has a lower bend in the shaft, creating some toe hang, which is more suitable for golfers with a more arcing stroke
