[Applause] Doing a loft fly check on Cam Young’s gamer that he won last week in Windham with. Uh just making sure his specs are kind of where they need to be and good thing is is he is where he is. No adjustments needed. He obviously putted very well last week. First in strokes game putting through the week. Um pretty big victory for him. Um rolled it very well. Cam Young plays a Phantom 95 or 9.5R. um 95 referend to the jet neck. Uh this is a model that he has kind of worked into earlier this year. Um started early in the year uh with a plumber’s neck. Um it’s been kind of a journey with Cam. He’s given great feedback on what he’s looking for through his putters. Always played something in the Phantom line. He’s played Phantom 11. He’s played Phantom 5. Um when he saw the Phantom 9 head earlier this year, he really enjoyed the the shape of it. Um kind of how it framed the ball for him. long line on here as we can see. Um where we ended up on the jet neck is he’s always wanted to kind of feel flow in the putter. Um we’ve started in face balance mallets for him and we’ve kind of worked our way down um to to a point where he’s felt comfortable enough to feel the toe flow the way he wants it and get the release of the putter that he wants it. And since switching to this earlier this year with the Jet Neck, he has shot up the rankings in shots gained putting. I believe he’s sixth right now in in total strokes gained putting. um really improved that aspect of the game and for such a long hitter as he is um being a good putter, having trust in your putter uh is a is a big aspect in his game and and certainly helped him to the win last week. A lot of feedback we’ve gotten through players through through prototesting with players and getting feedback from them through the models of the years. Obviously, this is a couple generations into the into the Phantom line is a lot of it is players want to see that putter sit in a solid position when they put the ball uh or when they put the putter behind the ball, no matter what turf condition they’re on, no matter kind of how the greens are undulated. Um so, this has been a lot of work on the sole plate and and how the the putter sits for our entire Phantom line. Um just with years of feedback from players and obviously benefits Cam because he knows that when he can put the putter down, it’s going to soul the way he wants it to every time. He’s always told me that if he played a blade, it would be a Newport style. And the Phantom 9R, standing for the rounder edges, kind of complements that Newport blade look to it. Um, a lot of players like some of the softer edges on mallets or or if it isn’t a blade, um, because it doesn’t look so technical or mechanical to them where, you know, players that like a lot more squareness for aim, we’ll use something like a Newport 2 or some of the boxier style mallets that are a little more squared off. So Cam, I think if he were to choose a blade putter, it would be a Newport. And this kind of accompanies it in the mallet line.
