Last gen Phantom 5.5 is my most dependable putter. Your descriptions are spot on. When dialed in w the right length and weights, the putter does so much to keep the ball on line.
Great review thank you
Special and Super Select Newport and Newport 2 are now Mini-Mallets due to Scotty redistributing the 40 grams of headweight out to the Toe and Heel.
As for the new duel milling of the Face, this was in response to Titleist softening the Cover of the 2023 Pro V1 and Pro V1x Balls. Firmed the Face to keep the Contact "Feel" identical to the earlier Special and the '21 Balls.
I’ve always been a Newport 2 guy. I even got fit into one at the studio in Encinitas a few years back. I didn’t like the look of the mallets back then. this year the phantom looks pretty good so I ordered the 5.5 and it should ship soon. we’ll see if it’s a little more forgiving which is the goal. Almost did the 7.5 but I’m glad I got the 5.5
Enjoy your new putter and let me know what you think after a few rounds. - DD
How do the other mallets compare in the Scotty line up? Are the differences just looks, are they all milled the same. I'm mostly wondering about the Phantom 9 and the 5.5.
Wouldn't the 2.5 vs 5.5 be a better comparison ?
From a toe-hang perspective, possibly, but the basic principals I tried to get across in the video would remain the same. - DD
