Where it wins
- Looks90
- Feel89
- Sound88
Watch
Rated highest for looks and feel; its softest dimension is workability.
Your stroke arcs and you want a mid-sized mallet that still releases.
You putt straight, or you want the softer face of a newer generation.
Pros
- Toe flow on a mid-sized mallet, where the 9 gives none
- Milled steel face and body, so the strike comes back clearly
- A clean single line on a shape that does not clutter the eye
- Now well below current Phantom prices
Cons
- Firmer at impact than the dual-milled and insert faces that followed
- Less stable than the straight-necked 9 of the same shape
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentThe same mid-sized body as the 9, holding its line on all but the worst strikes.
Distance
ExcellentEven pace off milled steel, firmer than the faces Scotty moved to later.
Workability
FairA small slant neck frees the toe, giving this shape the release the 9 lacks.
Feel
ExcellentSteel through face and body, direct and firm rather than cushioned.
Sound
ExcellentA clean note off the steel, taken down by the alloy sole under it.
Looks at address
Class-leadingA rounded, uncluttered head with one line, and the neck stays out of the way.
