  1. Gday team. I currently have a Newport 2.5.

    I’m after a new Mallet but would like to stick to to slant neck/toe hang. What Phantom X Model would be most similar?? Cheers

    Multiple Shaft Bend Options

    With three shaft options – low-bend, mid-bend and straight – offered across the Phantom X line, players have more choices with regard to their preferred amount of toe flow.

    Phantom X models with “.5” in the name (i.e., 5.5, 7.5 and 8.5) have a shorter, low-bend shaft configuration with one shaft of offset for more toe flow to promote an arc in the putting stroke.

    The Phantom X 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12 models have a slightly taller, mid-bend shaft for a near-face balanced setup that produces less toe flow than the .5 models.

    The Phantom X 6STR has a straight shaft with zero offset.

    Added to previous post:

    Newport 2.5 - New small slant neck enhances blade’s view at address with tungsten sole weights for a larger sweet spot and a soft tri-sole for reliable setup with higher toe flow.

    Result: In researching the information provided by Titleist.com under clubs and comparing the specifications, the Phantom X 5.5, 7.5, 8.5 would be your best choices.

    With respect.
