Back to Blade

Reed S — Sat, 09 May 2026 21:08:24 GMT

Hi everyone just was curious if anyone else had gone back to a blade after experimenting with a phantom. I had been using a 9.2r which is beautiful putter, but I seem to have struggled with distance control and shorter putts.

Went back to my Newport 2 and had probably the best putting round I have had in a year yesterday. Needless to say I will sticking my Newport 2 for the foreseeable future, but curious if anyone else in the TT community experienced this also.

I will also throw a couple pictures on here as well ;)

Thanks.

Rusting?

john_pitera1 — Wed, 06 May 2026 15:12:27 GMT

Hey y'all!

My girlfriend bought a Phantom 5.5 back in January and the head is showing some really bad signs of rusting already. She hasn't used it more than maybe 10 times on the course and takes really good care of her gear. Never leaving it in her car, never lets it go uncleaned after a round etc.

I have had a 5.5 for almost 3 seasons now and don't have any signs of rust at all. Any suggestions? I repainted the soul so I'm afraid a warranty won't be an option.

Would love and appreciate any and all kind recommendations!

No mention of where it was purchased. Was it purchased from a Titleist account, on eBay. See issues below, that can cause rusting on golf clubs. If it was purchased thru a Titleist account (golf shop, retail store, etc) take it back to that store with your sales receipt and have them contact Titleist customer service.

Cleaning and Care for Titleist Golf Clubs
Titleist drivers, woods, hybrids, irons and wedges can be cleaned with mild soap and water and then dried with a soft cotton cloth. We recommend your golf clubs and headcover be completely dry before storage. Storing golf clubs in wet headcovers can lead to rust and corrosion and may not be covered by the warranty.

Cleaning and Care for Carbon Steel Scotty Cameron Putters
The unique feel of certain Scotty Cameron by Titleist putter models results from the use of milled carbon steel heads. This material is susceptible to oxidation and rusting if left damp. To preserve the natural finish of these putter models, you are urged to follow a few simple guidelines:

• Always dry your putter at the end of the day. We also suggest drying the putter a few times during the round.
• Always use a dry headcover.
• Never leave your putter in damp or cold atmospheres.

The Gun Blue, Oil Can and Teryllium series putters are most susceptible to oxidation so please follow these guidelines carefully. The Pro Platinum finish is more durable due to the plating between the soft carbon steel and the elements, but care should be taken to avoid dings that can rust.

Can you share some photos? It would be rare to see rusting on a stainless steel putter like the phantom 5.5. Maybe if the putter was wet and in a putter cover for a significant time (months) some small areas of surface rust "could" appear.

9.5 R

SMyers — Fri, 08 May 2026 21:27:34 GMT

I see all these social media posts about Cameron Young's putter, and hear that it's a great option for players who've used a Newport. Ok, great. That's me, and I love the more rounded look, and single, long sight line. Why hasn't this been brought to retail? I just found, and recently purchased a 2024 Phantom 9.5, probably in a moment of panic. I love the sound and feel. I can't stand the sharper edges though, and don't get me started on the grip. This full contact, chain link grip is the worst grip I've ever seen on a Scotty. Couldn't wait to replace it. C'mon, Scotty! Make the 9.5 R. Don't put a Mike Tyson- like face tattoo for the alignment either. I've seen those in the Tour Only line.

Any chance it's a "replica" ?

Any pictures by chance? Thats a new one for me.

Thats a good looking putter head!

Phantom 7 Black Limited

killerbgolfer — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 22:27:50 GMT

Got mine in recently and all I can say is WOW!

I can’t really quantify the shaft or set up differences from the OTR 7 but this looks amazing. The black finish is perfect and the feel of the chain link face is fantastic. The grip choice also works well for any standard grips or claw/pencil variations.

The best way I can describe the set up is that it’s “point and shoot”. I was very impressed with how much I naturally set up correct with it and didn’t require more adjustments, and the putts just kept rolling down the line, only needing speed adjustments. I feel like the more variables, we can remove, the more putts we’ll make.

Looking forward to reading what everyone else thinks.

Gallery Fitting - Gallery Visit

Austin S — Thu, 08 Jan 2026 17:59:04 GMT

Hello All! I will be making the Pilgrimage to the Scotty Cameron Gallery store for the first time this April. I was hoping that some of you that have been might be able to provide what your experience was like, the process of potentially booking a fitting, etc. Looking forward to hearing your stories, wisdom, and advice!

RE: Gallery Fitting - Gallery Visit

Nick P — Wed, 06 May 2026 13:29:04 GMT

Glad it went well. Did you get any other goodies while you were there?

RE: Phantom 7 Black Limited

Dan K — Wed, 06 May 2026 02:50:19 GMT

I wanted that putter but ended up with a 7.2

RE: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 or Squareback 2 (Special or super select)

Chuck Zirkle — Tue, 05 May 2026 17:12:23 GMT

I have both and have experimented with various weights in both and prefer the Squareback Super Select 2023 with GolfPride Midsize reverse pistol grip. It seems to provide more consistency for me. But, practice, practice, practice your alignment and tempo.

Scotty Cameron Newport 2 or Squareback 2 (Special or super select)

Harry L — Sun, 03 May 2026 14:33:23 GMT

I switch between Phantom 5.5 and Newport 2 all the time. I'm more precise with my Newport 2. I've already tested the Squareback 2 special and super select but I'm not sure if it's better in the long run. What is your opinion.

Grips

Josh — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:08:50 GMT

I’m about to order a Phantom 9 through Titleist and looking for some feedback on grips.

I’ve tried the Full Contact (too small) and the Matador (too soft and not great when my hands get a bit wet). Unfortunately, none of these grips are available to try in-store here in Canada.

I’m mainly deciding between the Pistolini Plus and the Pistolero Plus and just looking for some real-world feedback between the two—feel, size, taper, etc.

I know grips are personal, but with no way to test them, I’d really appreciate hearing what others prefer between these two.

Pistolini Plus will be too small...I would go Pistolero Plus...

Awesome thanks for that , unfortunately i won’t be able to try any other grips pretty limited up in Canada . Trying to head to the gallery when I’m in the states in October

RE: Gallery Fitting - Gallery Visit

Austin S — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 18:30:41 GMT

Update - the trip and experience were fantastic. Nate was my fitter and he was incredible. The gallery itself is very cool. Luckily, the putter rec from my fitting was the one I selected before my fitting - Scotty's 2026 Master's edition MOTO. I got to use it for my round at Torrey Pines North the next day. Needless to say, I was on cloud nine the whole weekend!

RE: Cameron Gallery Experience

Austin S — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 18:26:43 GMT

I actually just went the weekend of 04/10 - 04/13 and it was an incredible experience. I did the fitting experience and found it to be very interesting. Nate was incredible and I highly recommend working with him.

Cameron Gallery Experience

Clint C — Fri, 18 Jul 2025 12:41:07 GMT

Greetings!

I posted this on the travel thread but though I would also post it here.

I wanted to ask for some insight and advice.

For my 40th birthday, my wonderful wife gifted me a plane ticket to San Diego (oddly one-way) to visit the Scotty Cameron Gallery and booked a tee time for me at Aviara Golf Club. Sadly, Torrey was full up.

Has anyone had any recent experiences at the gallery and could provide advice or feedback?

Reviews I have read are rather dated, 2-3 years ago or older.

I’ve never been to CA and I’m very excited! I head that way in a couple of weeks.

Thanks in advance.

Clint

Is the 26 Phantom 5.5 bendable?

Noah G — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 15:01:20 GMT

I recently went and got fit into a 5.2 and fitter suggested a 68 degree lie angle with 2 degrees of loft. When I went to my local golf shop, I was able to roll the 5.5 and felt I was able to put a much smoother stroke and my start lines were a lot better compared to the 5.2. I then took it to their shop to get the lie/loft adjusted and they said they were unable to bend it due to the jet neck.

Could that just be a limitation of the shop there or is the stock 5.5 not adjustable and I'll just have to custom order it to get to the specs I was fitted into? Appreciate any insight!

Center Shaft Blades

John D — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 01:56:36 GMT

Zero Torque or “Square to Square” is a hot putter style right now obv.. I am a fan of old school center shaft newports (etc.). These are the sexiest straight back straight through putting option IMO.

Sharing a photo of my gamer (1-1 poor mans CT) sent to custom shop a few years back..

Would kove to see others of this style. Scotty needs to do another 2.6 soon! Starting this to share some other OG zero arc straight through thinkers over the rock. But only the pure blades! No comparison to some of the space ships out there these days!

That club looks awesome. Thanks for sharing what it looks like.

RE: Grips

Matt C — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 17:32:46 GMT

I love the Pistolero, when I was trying different grips it felt so natural in my hands. I would wait until you can try a few unless you don’t mind swapping.

RE: Grips

Tom P — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 12:33:34 GMT

Of the two I much prefer the Pistolini for feel, it has a pretty traditional taper and a pistil type upper section. The Pistolero has a very large (front to back) "axe handle" upper section and feels horrible (to me). Both are to heavy (80g +) for my preferred swing weight with a 350g head weight and 34" length

All that said the Cameron grip I game is a Studio Design or Baby T. Others that fit my "like" and swing weigh preference are Iomic classic tour and Super Stroke Pistol tour
