Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Feel91
- Looks90
- Sound89
Watch
Rated highest for feel and looks; its softest dimension is workability.
Your stroke arcs noticeably and you want a compact head that still forgives.
You putt straight, or you find winged shapes distracting behind the ball.
Pros
- The most toe flow of any Phantom 5 build, for a stroke with a real arc in it
- A shaft that runs over the top, leaving the ball unobstructed at address
- Blade-like feel from a head that still forgives like a mallet
- Sole weights matched to length rather than one weight for every build
Cons
- The fang shape divides opinion, and one tester found it harder to aim than the Phantom 7
- The headcover feels cheap for what the putter costs
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentSole weights matched to the length push mass outward, so a small head holds up better than expected.
Distance
ExcellentPace off the milled face proved dependable in testing, whatever the shape does for your eye.
Workability
SolidThe jet neck gives this head more toe flow than any other Phantom 5 build.
Feel
Class-leadingMilled twice over with nothing laid on top, and the strike comes back soft but clear.
Sound
ExcellentA short, low note, damped enough that it barely registers on a good strike.
Looks at address
Class-leadingThe shaft passes over the top for a clear view of the ball, though the fangs busy the picture.
