- Unboxing my Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5. Comparing Toe Hang vs Face Balanced Putters. Comment below which you prefer to play and why!
Phantom X is a great putter, but nothing beats the feel off of the insert. When struck in the middle, it feels like butter, but plenty of feedback when you miss it off the heel or toe. Best distance control I've ever had in a putter!
His version of the Newport has 3M tape to apply the insert 🤭
Completely agree. Just got fitted and loved the 7.5
Dope video. Time to start saving
Love the videos. Watching them has motivated me to get back on the course after 3-4 years away. Played 2 out of the last 4 days. Now to improve my short game and lower that score.
That’s awesome! Short game is the key! You need to get my Dad out there with you.
@@drewfortsongolf5529 he would whip me for sure but that would be fun.
@@drewfortsongolf5529 also what is the FB group where you got the putter? I'm looking for a fairway wood or hybrid
@@bustagreenhead the group is named “Golf Club Traders”
I had X5.5 and I returned it because it didn't work for me. I currently keep newport2 and squareback2 instead because they are easier controlling distances. When I need a mallet putter I'm using odyssey 7 putter.
Thanks for showing the top view, hardly anyone does that! Everyone shows the bottom which is not that helpful in showing the view we all see while putting.
Hey drew, this is honestly the best explanation of putting stroke / putters I have seen yet in the sense that I had really no direction on what putter caters to what type of stroke. Amazing stuff. Question, how would I test what kind of putting stroke I have? I feel like I would need more toe flow but I have no idea really. Help!
I would suggest finding a straight line on the ground and hovering your putter over that straight line and then take a putting stroke. If you notice that your stroke goes inside the line on the way back and then back inside the line on the way through then toe hang would be best 👍🏼
I just went in for a putter fitting and assumed I was a blade guy. I never liked mallets. Tried just about every Scotty there was. You name it, I tried it. I putt with the phantom 7.5 35” and loved it right away. Did my rounds with the other putters and it always came back to this phantom 7.5. Absolutely love the putter and never thought I would. Get a fitting! Thanks for the video! Have you stuck with your Phantom??
I’m a tinkerer with putters I’ll admit lol I really liked the phantom but now messing around with LAB putters.
@@drewfortsongolf5529 ok cool. Liking them I assume?
@@trumpnation4198 yes gamed a mezz 1 and liked it a lot now messing around with the Mezz 1 Max Broomstick to see how it goes.
Face Balanced for Left hand Low grip 💯🤙🏽
Yessir 🤝
Inside 10 feet, I left hand low with my Newport 2🫣
Blades are better for arc strokes Mallets are better for less arc strokes
100% agreed
good review, actually helpful, appreciate it
No problem Michael thanks for kind words
Love my face balance putter, I went with a center shafted face balance and I will never go with anything differently.
Ah, never say never. Play with a lie angle balanced putter and you just might change your mind.
@@lylealexander4861 respect for it but still am a center shafted face balance guy
@@joshtomlinson1727 I used face balanced putters for decades until I got a LAB Directed Force, lie angled balanced one, and now the Mezz. Now, I will never use anything different. LOL
This video will not likely change your mind, however, it certainly demonstrates that face balancing is not advantageous.

Keep up the great content.
It takes a special golfer to make a toe hang putter work?
Not really a special golfer, but someone that’s makes an in and through stroke with their putter stroke.
I’m curious on what weights you have in your Newport? The Phantom comes with 10g which I thought was too light and I switched them to 20g’s. The weights make a big difference in roll and control. - thanks
I actually had 15g in the Newport and the Phantom had 10gs I also felt that was way too light so swapped them out and helped a lot on the distance control
Hey man, couple months later… still using the phantom? How has the transition been with the straight back straight forward stroke?
Still using it and loving it. The stroke feels more natural with the phantom for a straight back and thru path 👍🏼
@@drewfortsongolf5529 nice… I tested the 5.5 and the 5 out and couldn’t really tell THAT much of a difference. May bite the bullet and actually get a fitting.
Greetings from Argentina, great video
Wow, thanks for watching Jose! 🤝🇦🇷
I wanna get the 5.5 it has slight toe hang as I have a slight arc
Great putter!
@@drewfortsongolf5529 would you recommend the face balanced 5 if I have a slight arc or the 5.5 ??
@@wnfakind9197 really depends on the stroke but I preferred the feel of the x5 over the 5.5
Dope
We know you are. No problem!
Do you mind sharing that FB group?
Golf Club Traders is the name of the group!
@@drewfortsongolf5529 thanks!
How tall are you if you’re using 34 inch putter?
I’m 6’0 flat
@@drewfortsongolf5529 thank you
Tried mallets. Didn’t work for me. blades!
Every stroke is different for sure. Find what works for you and keep rollin em in!
No such thing as a straight back straight through stroke unless you manipulate the putter during the stroke. There are lots of degrees of toe hang - could be 10 degrees, 45, 70 or even 90. I find 1/4 toe hang works best. Face balanced? That encourages a pull stroke for me. No good.
