Phantom X 11
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You putt with a straight stroke and want a compact, stable, high-MOI milled mallet with a clean look and clear alignment.
You putt with an arc, you want the softest current feel (look to the 2024 Phantom or 2026 Studio Carbon Steel), or you want a value price.
Pros
- A compact, high-MOI multi-material mallet - stable and forgiving
- A milled 303 stainless face - a soft, solid premium feel
- Virtually face-balanced - minimises face rotation for a straight stroke
- Sleek swept-back wings with a clean topline and clear sight line
Cons
- Face-balanced (minimal arc) - built for a straight stroke
- A 2021 milled face - pre the softer dual-milled and Studio Carbon Steel tech
- A premium milled price
By dimension
Forgiveness
Exceptional - the multi-material construction moves weight to the perimeter for increased MOI, stability and forgiveness, a compact, performance-oriented mallet build. Among the more forgiving compact mallets - a high-MOI multi-material head.
Distance
A standout - the milled 303 stainless face gives a consistent roll and pace, the milled face delivering repeatability. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
A face-balanced mallet - the mid-bend shaft aims down the target line to create a virtually neutral, face-balanced putter that minimises face rotation, a minimal-arc setup. Very limited arc-fit - built for a straight stroke.
Feel
Soft and solid - the milled 303 stainless one-piece face/body gives a soft, solid premium feel, the milled face delivering a pleasing strike. Among the better putter feels - a premium milled stainless face (pre-dual-milled).
Sound
A crisp, solid note - the milled 303 stainless face gives a solid, crisp impact, a clean acoustic. A clean, solid milled note.
Looks at address
Sleek and clean - the sleek profile with swept-back trimmed wings and a clean topline, the misted popped-up flange milling and single light-gray sight line against the black back for clear alignment. Among the cleaner-looking mallets.
