  • Titleist Introduces New Scotty Cameron Phantom X Putters
    ⏲ 10 February 2021, 09:49 (GMT) Titleist Introduces New Scotty Cameron Phantom X Putters Updated Tour-Inspired Designs and New Models Strengthen Mallet Family FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (Feb. 9, 2021) – Drawing on his extensive experience with golf’s greatest players, Scotty Cameron has bolstered the high-tech Phantom X family with four new tour- inspired setups. The updated Phantom X 5 and Phantom X 5.5 replace current in-line models, while the new Phantom X 11 and Phantom X 11.5 - compact wingback mallets - add new options engineered for performance. Available March 26 in golf shops worldwide, the new Phantom X putters are inspired by the designs that Master Putter Maker Scotty Cameron has crafted for tour players around the globe. All four putters feature solid stainless steel faces and bodies with new shapes and neck configurations. The Phantom X 5 and Phantom X 5.5 models have been completely revamped and replace the current putters as a rolling change. The new Phantom X 11 and Phantom X 11.5 were developed based on player requests for a slightly smaller setup in the spirit of the Phantom X 12 and 12.5 models. QUOTING SCOTTY CAMERON “Working with our game’s best players gives me great perspective into what they are looking for in a mallet putter. From the types of metals used to the subtle changes in shaft bends, these new Phantom X models offer brand new, highly requested options that build on our most popular models from 2020. I’ve had so many people asking for a putter like Justin Thomas’ gamer – and the Phantom X 5.5 is my direct answer.

Old Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalshowcase.lynchburg.edu/utcp Part of the Physics Commons A Comparative Study on the Spin Rates of Golf Balls Carter Old Senior Honors Project Submitted in partial fulfillment of the graduation requirements of the Westover Honors College Westover Honors College May, 2020 __________________________ ___ Eric Goff, PHD __________________________ ___ Kevin Peterson, PHD __________________________ ___ Nancy Cowden, PHD i Abstract My research is an in-depth look at the trajectories of high-performance golf balls. These balls come from three of the top ball manufactures in the world: Titleist, Callaway and Bridgestone. We chose the low-spin ball from each company, and hit each 20-30 times using a 7- iron. We recorded the trajectory predictions using a range simulator called a FlightScope, which a ided b he U i e i f L chb g G lf g am. The purpose of this experiment was to create a computer model that compares the distance, time of flight and vertical descent of a golf ball that was predicted by the model and the simulator. 1 INTRODUCTION This study will look at the comparative trajectories between a flight simulator and a computer model of three high-performance golf balls. Information about these balls is ap- pealing because many people play golf and use these expensive golf balls, but probably have never seen any actual statistics on how different brands compare.
