Product Information
Full details
The Scotty Cameron Phantom 9R is a modern, rounded mallet putter designed for adult male golfers with a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke. Its primary benefit is enhanced stability and alignment for a more consistent face angle through impact. A potential caveat for some players might be the specific feel of the Studio Carbon Steel insert. This putter offers a refined blend of feel, alignment, and stability with its smooth, flowing shape, mid single-bend shaft for minimal toe flow, and high-stability perimeter weighting.

FAQs
What type of putting stroke is the Phantom 9R best suited for?
The Phantom 9R is specifically designed for golfers with a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke due to its mid single-bend shaft, which minimizes toe flow and promotes a square face.
What is the feel of the Studio Carbon Steel insert?
The Studio Carbon Steel insert provides a softer feel with enhanced feedback and responsive sound, contributing to precise distance control.
Does the Phantom 9R offer forgiveness?
Yes, its high-stability design, achieved through perimeter weighting and the rounded mallet shape, increases forgiveness and stability.
What are the available lengths for the Phantom 9R?
The Phantom 9R is available in lengths of 33", 34", and 35".
What is the offset on the Phantom 9R?
The Phantom 9R features a full shaft offset, meaning the shaft is not visible when viewing the putter from address.
How should I care for my Scotty Cameron putter?
Clean the putter with a soft, dry cloth after use and store it in its headcover. Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the finish.
Troubleshooting
Putter feels disconnected or lacks feedback.
Ensure the putter is clean, especially the face insert. Verify that the grip is securely attached and has not loosened. If the issue persists, consult a professional club fitter.
Inconsistent ball roll or distance control.
Focus on maintaining a consistent tempo and accelerating through the ball. Ensure your setup is consistent, with your eyes over the ball and a relaxed grip. The Phantom 9R's design aids consistency, but stroke mechanics remain key.
Putter head appears misaligned at address.
The rounded mallet shape is designed for clean alignment. Ensure you are addressing the ball squarely and using the alignment cues on the putter effectively. If you are accustomed to a blade putter, there may be an adjustment period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Phantom 9R is available in lengths of 33", 34", and 35". Select the length that allows you to stand naturally over the ball with a comfortable posture, ensuring your eyes are over the ball. The standard specifications include a 3.5-degree loft, 70-degree lie angle, and 0-degree lean. The neck type is a mid single-bend, and the offset is full shaft, meaning the shaft is not visible at address.
Compatibility: This putter is designed for right-handed golfers. The included Scotty Cameron Gray Full Contact Midsize grip is standard. Grip replacement should be done with grips of similar weight and profile to maintain the putter's balance and swing weight.
Care: To maintain the premium finish and performance of your Scotty Cameron Phantom 9R, clean it after each use with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes, as these can damage the milled surfaces. Store the putter in a protective headcover when not in use to prevent dings and scratches.
