The Acushnet Company’s new Titleist 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, will be available July 25 ($750).
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.
“With the Phantom Black putters, we’ve created new models based on the prototype Phantom designs we developed for tour players,’’ said Austie Rollinson, senior director of putter R&D. “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.”
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.
