Scotty Cameron updates Phantom X series putters for 2021

Published

on

For 2021, Scotty Cameron is releasing four new models in the Phantom X line. The company wants to give golfers what they have been asking for and increase the number of available models to improve fitting options.

Scotty Cameron Phantom X: Design recap

When it comes to putters, golfers fall into two categories: blade people and mallet people. For those golfers who prefer mallets, the Scotty Cameron Phantom X series offers models to fit almost any golfer with any stroke. The entire line is built around high-MOI designs with easy alignment systems. It features a number of technologies to help golfers get the most out of their time on the greens.

Each model is comprised of a precision-milled stainless steel face and body along with an aluminum flange, which allows the putters to be larger in shape and easy to align while maintaining a balanced feel that comes from the precision weighting. The pieces of each putter are meticulously crafted to precisely fit together to produce solid acoustics—something Scotty Cameron putters are well known for.

The new putters’ sizes and shapes are all derived from golfer feedback, including from players on the PGA Tour. The Phantom X 5 and 5.5 were completely redesigned to replace the current models, while the new Phantom X 11 and 11.5 were developed based on player requests for a slightly smaller version of the Phantom X 12 and 12.5.

“Working with our game’s best players gives me great perspective into what they are looking for in a mallet putter. From the types of metals used to the subtle changes in shaft bends, these new Phantom X models offer brand new, highly requested options that build on our most popular models from 2020.

“I’ve had so many people asking for a putter like Justin Thomas’ gamer – and the Phantom X 5.5 is my direct answer. It has a solid 303 stainless steel face and body with aluminum in the sole and a small slant or ‘jet’ neck for more toe flow. For less toe flow, we have the Phantom X 5 with the single bend shaft.

“With the Phantom X 11 and 11.5, I was able to design a more compact wingback mallet with a stainless steel face in conjunction with 6061 aircraft aluminum for a look and feel that just performs while being very stable and forgiving. This line extension adds four new options that will most definitely pique the interest of mallet players.”  – Scotty Cameron

2021 Scotty Cameron Phantom X: New models

Phantom X 5 –  This new mid-mallet will remind some golfers of past Futura models thanks to its more compact profile. The X 5 is close to, but not quite, face-balanced and offers a highly contrasting topline sightline to make it easy to align with confidence alongside of its geometric shaping.

Phantom X 5.5 – It was towards the end of last year that Scotty Cameron released a limited edition “Inspired by Justin Thomas Phantom.” The new Phantom X 5.5 is the full release version of that model, which is intended for golfers with a more toe flow stroke that prefers a larger mallet style setup. It features a slant neck and will be available in both right and left-handed.

Phantom X 11 – The best way to describe the new Phantom X is as a refined and more compact version of the popular wingbacked Phantom X 12. The new X 11 has a clean topline that allows golfers to take their alignment cues from the single siteline placed further back along the flange. It comes with a mid-bend shaft to minimize face rotation for golfers who have a less gated/open-and-closing stroke.

Phantom X 11.5 – The X 11.5 is the same putter head as the 11 except with a different shaft bend configuration to create more toe flow.

Price, specs, and availability

The new 2021 Scotty Cameron Phantom X putters will be available worldwide starting March 26, through Titleist and Scotty Cameron accounts, and are priced at $429 each.

    Not much innovation here, just different looks for different folks. At least the new line isn’t just another iteration of the Ping Answer. They never worked for me

    I‘m sure folks who picked the JT edition are kicking themselves as you now get a similar looks with the 5.5. I am gaming the 7.5 and love the black finish. Looks like they‘re going backwards to the Futura looks.

    About time for the Lefties with the X5.5!

    Nothing very exciting unforfunately. However the 5.5 is improved with the new neck and the only thing I would consider as nearly bought one last year. Prefer the look of this much more than the old 5.5 which I tried last year so am tempted. Otherwise I am afraid I agree with others. Nothing revolutionary here. BTW – the new 5.5 now very similar to the JT Ltd edition? Glad I didnt pick up one of those for god knows how much when the new 5.5 looks good.

    Probably the weakest overall lineup for Cameron that I can remember. I hope he comes out with an updated (or not!) Art of Putting line, preferably oil can. Win me back, Scotty. Until then, I recommend EVNRoll, I’ve had great luck with my outback

      Well said Gerrett. Cameron is a joke and if it wasn’t for Tiger he”d still be making putters for medicore players.
      The Tour gets the putters that look awesome while retail gets junk. I have only bought 1x retail Cameron and never will again. I probably won’t ever own another Cameron again.

      Scotty is a great guy BtW he does a ton for charity and truly loves his followers. But man bring some originality please!

    All the best ideas combined into one putter!

    I would call it The Edsel Phantom!

      Don’t need it, don’t want it. Solid milled putters and steel faced mallets and we’re good.

    4 years later, but atleast we’re here. He’s still paying for all his sins from the 3m tape insert years.

      I honestly think the GSS insert in Red X and studio style is the best insert he ever did (also had 3m tape).

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
