Titleist unveils new Scotty Cameron Phantom X 9.5 Triple black putter
Titleist has introduced its new Phantom X 9.5 Triple Black mallet putter in a limited-release for golfers looking to put a Tour-inspired model in play.
The Phantom X 9.5 Triple Black is a new high-MOI mallet head shape that shares many features of the 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 aims to provide unique alignment cues.

A custom engraving inspired by vintage muscle car pinstripes is designed to help to frame the golf ball at address, as three red dots on the topline mark the sweet spot for a classic look contained on many iconic Scotty Cameron putter designs.

“Each new line I create gives me the opportunity to gather feedback, make design improvements and roll out new models that incorporate these new thoughts—whether it’s a new neck, new finish or new alignment options. This Phantom X 9.5 Triple Black is one of those concepts.
I gave it our Tour Black finish throughout, including the misted black anodized 6061 aluminum component and the stainless steel body. With its jet black paintfill, I thought the classic car term “Triple Black” fit. I also customized the milled sight dots on the topline with our signature translucent red for an extra bit of style. In keeping with the theme of our limited release offerings, this putter also has a custom headcover, shaft band and a Tour Black shaft.” – Scotty Cameron

With an integration of stainless steel and aluminum, the new Phantom X 9.5 Triple Black is engineered for performance with a solid, precision-milled 303 stainless steel body fused with a 6061 aluminum flange-sole component in a bid to provide optimal weight distribution and overall shape.

Per Titleist, by positioning the lighter aluminum in the middle of the mallet, MOI and overall stability are increased by the perimeter weighting crafted from heavier stainless steel.

The Phantom X 9.5 Triple Black employs the small slant, or “jet”, neck made famous on Tour for its crisp appearance, clean setup and arc-enhancing design. With a full shaft of offset, this unique design seeks to give this compact shape the stability of a mallet with the feel of a blade.

The new addition from Titleist features advanced stability weighting with two customizable stainless steel heel-toe weights and a stepless steel shaft with a Tour Black finish.

In addition, the 6061 aluminum flange-sole component has been misted and anodized black, while the 303 stainless steel—excluding the sole weights—is also misted for glare reduction and has Titleist’s matte Tour Black finish.

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
