Phantom 5.5

The Phantom 5.5 is one of four head shapes in Scotty Cameron's 2024 Phantom line, built as a mallet for players working on a slight arc rather than a straight-back-straight-through stroke. The maker's page describes a completely re-designed shape that offers long sight lines for improved alignment, paired with an angular, ring-weighted profile and zero offset. Dual-milled face technology carries over as the striking surface, and the head ships at 38 inches with a left-handed option available.

Where the 5.5 differentiates itself within the Phantom range is largely at the neck and shaft. The maker's page lists a toe-flow promoting jet neck, and elsewhere simply a jet neck, fitted to a low-bend shaft for moderate toe-flow. This puts the 5.5 in the arc-friendly end of a lineup that, per the maker, also offers mid-bend and straight shaft configurations across its other shapes for golfers who prefer a more face-balanced stroke. The grip is listed at 17 inches and 135 grams, in a pistol style.

The maker frames the broader intent plainly: head shapes have been engineered to optimize alignment, helping players easily set up at address. For the 5.5 specifically, that engineering shows up as long sight lines on a mallet built with some toe hang built in, a middle ground between the fully face-balanced shapes in the 2024 Phantom family and a blade-like arc feel.
