The Record
Written from the sources it cites · machine-drafted for the Community to correctThe Phantom X 8 has two entries on record, a 2019 release and a 2021 follow-up, both carrying the Phantom X line's mallet identity forward under Scotty Cameron's name.
The 2019 Phantom X 8 is documented here through golfalot.com's reporting rather than the maker's own spec pages. That coverage describes a putter aimed at players who wanted simple visual cues paired with a continuous transition from leading edge through the back flange, finished in what golfalot.com called a misted black finish and built with a mid-bend shaft. These are editorial observations, not maker-confirmed figures, but they sketch a putter built around visual simplicity and a shaping choice in the flange that carried forward the Phantom X family's design language.
By 2021, the record shifts to verified, maker-published specification. The Phantom X 8 carried a head built from 303 stainless steel with a solid 6061 aircraft aluminum face, fitted with a Pistolero Plus grip, and offered in 33, 34, and 35 inch lengths. Custom Shop options extended the fitting further, with loft adjustable from -1º to +1º, lie from -2º to +2º, and half-inch length increments available. Where the 2019 release is known to us mostly through outside reporting on its look and feel, the 2021 release is known through the specifications the maker itself put on record.
Read together, the two rows show a line moving from a design-forward introduction, one covered for its visual continuity and finish work, into a more fully specified, customizable release two years later. The 2019 and 2021 versions share the Phantom X 8 name and mallet lineage, but the record's own composition, editorial impression first, verified spec second, is itself part of the story of how this particular head has been documented over time.
