Phantom X 9.5 Triple Black

The Phantom X 9.5 Triple Black is a limited release from Scotty Cameron's 2021 run, built on the Phantom X 9.5 head with a finish and detailing distinct from the standard Phantom X line. The maker's page describes it as incorporating feedback from touring professionals and infusing Scotty's own ideas of form and function, and calls it a high-MOI mallet that "shares many dimensional qualities with the popular Phantom X 5.5 and Phantom X 11 models, but with a matte Tour Black finish and an integrated 6061 aluminum flange-sole component that defines its profile and provides unique alignment cues." That black-on-black treatment, paired with an engraving described as inspired by vintage muscle car pinstripes and three red sweet spot dots on the topline, is what separates this piece from other Phantom X releases.

The maker's page lists the head material as 303 stainless steel face and body in a Tour Black finish with a black anodized 6061 aircraft aluminum sole and flange, along with a 3.5º loft and 70º lie, in 33, 34, and 35 inch lengths. It also states the run was limited to 4000 pieces worldwide, framed as a small seasonal production rather than a standing catalog model. Golf Monthly has reported the putter as a limited edition release, consistent with how the maker itself frames the run, though that characterization comes from the publication rather than from Scotty Cameron directly.

Set against the rest of the Phantom X 9 family, including the standard Phantom X 9 head described elsewhere in the archive as the compact cousin of the Phantom X 11 with a precision milled solid stainless steel face and rounded aluminum flange sole, the Triple Black reads as a finish and detailing variant built for collectors and dedicated players wanting a Tour inspired look rather than a change to the underlying geometry.
