Phantom 9

Best-in-class - the angular ring-weighted shape strategically distributes weight to the perimeter for high MOI, the large footprint and multi-material build giving a healthy dose of forgiveness. Among the most forgiving putters - a ring-weighted, max-MOI mallet.

A standout - the roll is very smooth with consistent rollout from long range, the dual-milled face giving a consistent strike. Among the better putters for distance control.

A face-balanced mallet - a mid-bend shaft for a full shaft of offset and almost no toe hang, a face-balanced, high-MOI design for a straight stroke (the 9.5 adds toe flow). Very limited arc-fit - built for a straight stroke.

Exceptionally soft - striking a urethane ball produces a very soft feel, with vibration dampening leaving no extra noise in the hands, just a clear sensation of where the ball met the face, the dual-milled face plus extra dampening material between the steel and aluminium. Among the very best putter feels in golf - a dampened, dual-milled face.

A soft, quiet note - the vibration dampening leaves no extra noise, the dual-milling and extra dampening giving a softer, consistent sound. Among the better putter sounds - a clean, muted note.

Bold and functional - the angular, aerospace-inspired ring-weighted shape is a drastic departure with a large footprint, paired with two unbroken sight lines milled from the leading edge to the back for a simple, functional visual track, the long sight lines aiding alignment. Among the most alignment-friendly mallets, if a bold shape.
