Today, Scotty Cameron added five new configurations to the Phantom mallet putter lineup.

Amongst the new additions are the new tour-inspired Phantom 5.2 and Phantom 7.2 models to the mallet family, as well as the Phantom 5, Phantom 11 and Phantom 11 Long Design models in left-handed setups for the first time.

The all-new Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.2 and 7.2 putters, featuring the popular wingback Phantom 5 and Phantom 7 mallet head shapes, are crafted with an I-beam-style plumbing neck. The plumbing neck setup provides players with alternative toe flow properties and alignment benefits to the shaft and neck configurations already offered in the Phantom lineup.

Scotty Cameron 5.2 and 7.2

Joining the Phantom 5.2 and 7.2 in the lineup are three new left-handed offerings for 2025: the Phantom 5, Phantom 11 and Phantom 11 Long Design. The Phantom 5, a compact, winged mallet, features a near-face balanced setup with a mid-bend shaft. The Phantom 11 is a face balanced, high-MOI, multi-material mallet, while the Phantom 11 Long Design shares the same head shape but is built to a 38-inch counterbalanced configuration with a longer and heavier grip, a stiffer mid-bend shaft and a heavier headweight.

“The Phantom 5.2 and 7.2 models come directly from our team’s work on the worldwide professional tours with some of the most discerning players in the game. As the demand for mallet putters has increased, so have the requests for different configurations of our models. The plumbing neck is a familiar, confidence-inspiring design to so many players, so its inclusion on the Phantom 5 and 7 putters is a natural evolution for both models. In addition, we wanted to add more left-handed putters to our lineup. We felt that the Phantom 5, 11 and 11 Long Design models gave our left-handed golfers a range of options with three unique setups.” – Scotty Cameron

All five new offerings will be available for pre-sale on January 29 and in Titleist authorized golf shops beginning February 14, 2025.

Phantom 5.2

Built on the tour-proven Phantom 5 head shape, a compact mallet that features refined wing angles and sight dot alignment, the Phantom 5.2 has a new I-beam-style plumbing neck, designed for slightly more toe flow than the mid-bend shaft of the Phantom 5 model but slightly less toe flow than the jet neck of the Phantom 5.5. The familiar lines and angles of the plumbing neck also provide additional body alignment assistance at address.

Phantom 7.2

The Phantom 7 head shape, with its longer wings and dual-purpose “rail” alignment, is now offered with a new I-beam-style plumbing neck in the 7.2 model. The configuration offers alignment, stability and MOI and delivers the same performance benefits of a plumbing-style neck as does the 5.2.

Phantom 5 (LH)

The near-face balanced, compact wingback mallet features sight dot alignment and a mid-bend shaft. It is crafted with a 303 stainless steel face and an aluminum sole plate.

Phantom 11 (LH)

The Phantom 11 is a high-MOI, face-balanced mallet with a mid-bend shaft and arrow alignment features. Its multi-material construction consists of a solid precision milled 303 stainless steel face, topline, body and wings that are integrated with an aluminum flange and sole component.

Phantom 11 Long Design (LH)

Built longer with a stiffer, 38-inch mid-bend shaft and a heavier head equipped with tungsten sole weights, the Phantom 11 Long Design is designed to help quiet the player’s hands and engage the shoulders for a smoother putting stroke.

The new Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.2, 7.2 and left-handed Phantom 5, 11 and 11 Long Design putters will be available for pre-sale on January 29 and in golf shops worldwide beginning February 14, 2025, and are priced at $449/$499 (Long Design).

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

Name every set of irons you’ve owned – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. 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.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
