Some guys are into stylish watches and timepieces, while others are into wine, clothes, cycling or fishing. Scotty Cameron has been a car guy, especially American muscle cars. Over the years, names like Fastback (which is a name given to slant-back Mustangs) have been used for putters, and automobile-inspired visuals have been added to putters, as well.

Now comes the H24 Limited Phantom 9.2, a limited-edition mallet putter that will be offered for $900 at select Titleist-authorized shops on Dec. 13.

The H24 Limited Phantom 9.2 comes standard at 34.5 inches in length and with 3.5 degrees of loft and a 70-degree lie angle. The Phantom 9 head has been given a a plumber’s neck hosel that creates one shaft’s-width of offset.

The head itself is milled from 303 stainless steel, but a larger portion of the bottom has been milled out and then covered by a 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum sole plate.

What makes the H24 Limited Phantom 9.2 special are the tour-black finish and the little details that Cameron has added. On the dual-milled face, golfers will see racing stripes running across the Scotty Cameron logo, complementing the race-car inspired, triple-milled orange and gray sight lines on the crown. The 15-gram weights in the heel and toe have even been given laser-etched checkerboards that echo the flag waved as the winning car crosses the finish line. The whole package creates a look that Steve McQueen would have loved and that gearheads will gush for.

Below are some close-up looks at the H24 Limited Phantom 9.2 putter

Ping’s G440 drivers added to USGA Conforming Driver List

The yet-to-be-released drivers were added to the list, making them legal for play in tournaments.

Monday morning, the yet-to-be-released Ping G440 Max, G440 LST, and G440 SFT drivers were added to the United States Golf Association’s Conforming Driver List, making them legal for play in tournaments. The company has not released any official information about the clubs or stated when they might be made available at retail.

Last year, Ping extended its G430 driver family by adding the G430 Max 10K to a group of drivers released in 2023 that included the G430 Max, G430 LST, and G430 SFT. The club added to the USGA’s driver list on Monday is the first G440.

The Names: Max, LST, SFT

The names Ping assigns to its drivers often provide clues about the clubs’ intended audience and performance characteristics. Max drivers typically balance distance and forgiveness, making them versatile for a wide range of players. In Ping terminology, LST stands for “low-spin technology,” which is designed for fast-swinging players seeking lower spin and launch angles. SFT, or “straight-flight technology,” is geared toward golfers aiming to correct a slice.

Movable Weight

The G440 Max and G440 LST appear to feature a movable weight at the back of the sole labeled “tungsten,” with three adjustable positions. Placing the weight toward the heel creates a draw bias, while positioning it toward the toe promotes a fade. Historically, Ping positions these weights far back on the sole to optimize the center of gravity (CG) and elevate higher moment of inertia (MOI) and stability in every setting. Meanwhile, the G440 SFT appears to have a two-position weight in the back with a “Draw+” setting visible.

CarbonFly Wrap

All three G440 drivers display the words “CarbonFly Wrap” on the sole, indicating they may feature a carbon fiber crown. Previous Ping drivers with CarbonFly Wrap crowns incorporated a lightweight carbon fiber top extending toward the toe, heel, and sole. This design reduces weight in the crown, lowers the CG, and redistributes weight to enhance performance.

Forged Face

The words “Forged Face” are printed near the leading edge of all three drivers, suggesting they feature a forged titanium face.

Adjustable Hosel

An adjustable hosel is visible in the USGA images. Adjustable hosels are now standard in most drivers, and Ping’s G430 lineup included the eight-position Trajectory Tuning 2.0 hosel, which allowed players to alter loft by up to 1.5 degrees in either a neutral or flat lie angle. It’s likely the G440 series will incorporate similar adjustability.

Stay tuned for more details as Ping releases official information about these new drivers.

Here are 5 great tips for traveling with your golf clubs

Tips to help you avoid lost or damaged golf equipment.

[mm-video type=video id=01h5482983y7wb796b2v playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01h5482983y7wb796b2v/01h5482983y7wb796b2v-995ed51a2578b3a2b82233990b0a9dfc.jpg]

Traveling with golf equipment is stressful because no one wants to have their gear go missing or get damaged on a golf vacation. Sadly, my clubs were lost for four days when I flew from Manchester, England, to Edinburgh, Scotland, after the 2006 British Open, which meant I played Carnoustie and The Old Course at St. Andrews with borrowed clubs while wearing running shoes.

Danielle Kang felt that stress last week because her clubs were lost for two days before the Solheim Cup in Spain started. She plays Titleist clubs, but Ping’s equipment truck was the only one on-site at Finca Cortesin, so Ping supplied Kang with equipment so she could practice until her gear (and a second set rushed and hand-delivered by Titleist Europe) arrived on Tuesday evening.

Whether you are planning a once-in-a-lifetime golf vacation to Europe or a buddy trip to Arizona, these five tips can help lower the anxiety of traveling with golf equipment.

PXG Tour Series Brandon, Brandon II Putters

These milled blade putters emphasize feel and control.

Gear: PXG Tour Series Brandon, Brandon II Putters
Price: $499.99 each
Specs: Milled 303 stainless steel with adjustable sole weights

Who it’s for: Purists and accomplished golfers who appreciate the classic look and feel of a milled, heel-toe weighted blade.

What you should know: PXG has introduced the Tour Series Brandon and Brandon II putters, catering to golfers who prefer traditional styling and performance over modern high-tech features.

The Deep Dive: In August, PXG released its most technologically advanced putter, the Allan which was lauded for its unique zero-torque balance and innovative alignment features. If the Allan were a car, it might be likened to a self-driving SUV—built for ease and comfort.

By contrast, the new PXG Tour Series Brandon and Brandon II are more like a Ford GT or a classic Chevy Chevelle SS — American muscle cars designed for those who love the pure driving experience. These putters are made for golfers who favor the timeless precision of a classic heel-toe weighted blade.

Both the Brandon and Brandon II are milled from blocks of 303 stainless steel. Unlike the polymer-backed inserts with pyramid face patterns seen in the Battle Ready II family these putters have milled steel faces, which deliver a crisper feel and a slightly higher-pitched sound at impact. For many golfers, this sensory feedback is exactly what they’re looking for.

PXG Tour Series Brandon, Bradon II — The Tour Series Brandon and Brandon II have clean looks and a single black alignment line. (PXG)

The putters feature a single black alignment line on the back flange, with a clean topline free of markings. A plumber’s neck hosel provides a moderate amount of toe hang, making them well-suited for players with an arced putting stroke.

PXG has also added two adjustable sole weights—one in the heel and one in the toe—allowing fitters to fine-tune the swing weight to match the putter’s length or a golfer’s preferences.

So, what’s the difference between the two models? The Tour Series Brandon has rounded bumpers that frame the back flange, offering a softer look at address. Meanwhile, the Tour Series Brandon II features a more squared-off design with angular bumpers, giving it a sharper appearance.

L.A.B. Golf OZ.1, OZ.1i putters

L.A.B. Golf teamed with Australia’s Adam Scott to create a mallet-style putter.

Gear: L.A.B. Golf OZ.1, OZ.1i putters
Price: Starting at $599.99 each
Specs: 100% aluminum (OZ.1); aluminum body with stainless steel face insert (OZ.1i), with customizable lie angle, head weight, alignment markings, and grip options.
Available: December (OZ.1i), January (OZ.1)

Who it’s for: Golfers who want the benefits of zero torque and more consistency on the greens combined with a more traditional putter shape.

What you need to know: L.A.B. Golf teamed with Australia’s Adam Scott to create a mallet-style putter, the OZ.1, that retains the company’s Lie Angle Balance benefits while offering a more conventional shape. The OZ.1i has the same shape but features a milled face insert.

The deep dive: Zero-torque putters have become one of the hottest trends in golf equipment in 2024. While traditional blades and mallets encourage the opening and closing of the putter face during the stroke, zero-torque putters greatly reduce or eliminate face rotation. L.A.B. Golf, based in Creswell, Oregon, has been at the forefront of this trend. The company’s DF 2.1 and Mezz putters introduced golfers to Lie Angle Balance, followed by the DS3 earlier this year. Now, with input from Adam Scott, L.A.B. has released two new putters: the OZ.1 and OZ.1i.

Like L.A.B.’s previous putters, the OZ.1 and OZ.1i feature Lie Angle Balance. When the putter is in the address position, the weighting and balance are designed to keep the face square to the golfer’s stroke path. Whether your stroke is straight, arcing slightly, or features a strong arc, these putters aim to make it easier to return the face square to the ball and roll putts more consistently along your target line.

Both the OZ.1 and OZ.1i are milled from aluminum and feature a more conventional, semi-circular mallet shape developed with input from Scott, the 2013 Masters champion and longtime L.A.B. Golf user.

Another distinctive feature of the OZ Series putters is the new zero-degree Shaft Lean option. Zero-torque putters typically require on-set shafts, where the shaft enters the head behind the hitting area rather than on the target side. This usually results in a forward press that some golfers find visually distracting. However, the shaft in the OZ Series putters is vertical, creating a cleaner look while maintaining on-set characteristics. This design is also compatible with standard grips.

For golfers who prefer a forward press, both models are available with a 2-degree Shaft Lean option and L.A.B.’s Press Grip.

Both putters use weights in the sole to achieve Lie Angle Balance, but there is a key difference between them. The OZ.1 has an aluminum face that is part of the putter’s chassis, offering a softer feel at impact. In contrast, the OZ.1i features a stainless steel face insert (“i” stands for insert), which creates a firmer feel and a higher-pitched sound at impact, a preference for many golfers.

Customization remains a hallmark of L.A.B. Golf, and the OZ Series putters are no exception. Through the company’s website, golfers can tailor nearly every aspect of the putter, from lie angle to grip type, ensuring a fit that matches their unique putting style.

TaylorMade Spider Tour X Black Proto putter

TaylorMade drops an all-black version of the prototype putter Scottie Scheffler tinkered with.

Gear: TaylorMade Spider Tour X Black Proto putter
Price: $500, equipped with a KBS CT Black PVD Stepless shaft and a SuperStroke Pistol GT 1.0 Black grip
Specs: Steel-body mallet putter with a milled face insert and black PVD finish. Available in lengths ranging from 33 to 35 inches.
Who it’s for: Golfers seeking improved distance control, forgiveness, and a putter with an anti-glare finish.

What you should know: The Spider Tour X Black Proto retains the shape of the popular Spider Tour X putters, favored by both tour professionals and recreational golfers. Its milled face offers a firmer feel at impact while the black PVD finish minimizes glare and delivers a distinct aesthetic.

The deep dive: TaylorMade introduced the Spider Tour family in August 2023. Toward the end of the season, Scottie Scheffler, the world’s top-ranked golfer, used a TaylorMade Spider Tour prototype with a milled face at several PGA Tour events. While the milled-face Spider Tour X Proto has been available since September 2023, TaylorMade has now released the Spider Tour X Proto Black, featuring an all-black design.

The Black version mirrors the previously released Spider Tour Proto putter in having 3 degrees of loft and a 70-degree lie angle. It also includes both an L-Neck hosel and a short slant neck hosel, like Scheffler’s prototype.

Unlike earlier Spider Tour Proto models with a silver-toned aluminum chassis and a white True Path alignment system featuring a single black line for aiming, the Black version incorporates a subtler design. The True Path alignment shape remains but is finished in black PVD, blending with the chassis. The alignment line from the topline to the back of the head also persists, but its black-on-black appearance is understated, requiring golfers to look closely to discern it at address.

From a performance perspective, the Spider Tour X Black Proto shifts more weight to the front of the head. The milled stainless-steel insert is heavier than the Hybrar Echo Damper material used in standard Spider Tour X putters. This forward center of gravity encourages a putter face rotation resembling that of a blade-style putter, ideal for golfers with an arced putting stroke.

Below are several close-up images of the TaylorMade Spider Tour X Black Proto putters.

Coming into the PGA Tour’s final full-field event of 2024, this week’s RSM Classic, Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg may not have felt a lot of motivation to make a change to his driver. After all, the 25-year-old former Texas Tech star ranked 12th on the PGA Tour in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee (0.538) and 21st in average driving distance at 310.5 yards.

But Aberg changed anyway, removing the Titleist TSR2 driver he had used all year to earn eight top-10 finishes and $9,728,857 in prize money and adding a new Titleist GT2 in its place.

Aberg’s GT2 has 9 degrees of loft, but the SureFit adjustable hosel is set in the D4 position, which adds 0.75 degrees of loft without changing the lie angle. The club appears to be fit with the same Fujikura Ventus Black 6 X shaft Aberg used throughout 2024.

Aberg is returning to action after having knee surgery he had following the Tour Championship. That break, and playing one PGA Tour event before the holiday season, may have created the perfect chance to test the new Titleist driver in competition.

On Thursday, Aberg averaged 311 yards per drive off the tee, and on the 584-yard, par-5 seventh hole, his drive went 350 yards.

The PGA Tour’s final full-field event of 2024 takes place this week on the Sea Island Golf Club’s Seaside and Plantation courses, and once again, WNBA star Caitlin Clark is stealing the show at the pro-am.

Clark, who competed last week in the pro-am at The Annika driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, teed off on Wednesday alongside 2007 Masters champion Zach Johnson, and PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan was in the fivesome.

Clark is using a Callaway Paradym X driver with 10.5 degrees of loft, along with a 15-degree Paradym X fairway wood and Paradym X 3- and 4-hybrids. Those clubs are all designed to help get the ball up easily and maximize forgiveness, which the Indiana Fever star clearly needs. She almost hit the spectators last week on the first tee.

Clark has been playing Callaway Paradym X irons (5-AW), along with 54- and 58-degree Callaway JAWS Raw wedges in her bag. However, Wednesday morning she also had 50- and 60-degree Callaway Opus wedges in her bag, finished in Iowa Hawkeye black and yellow.

Clark’s putter is an Odyssey Ai-One Double Wide, a heel-toe weighted blade with an extended back flange.

Bettinardi Queen B putters (2024)

The honey-toned Queen B putter line oozes precision and craftsmanship.

Gear: Bettinardi Queen B 2025 Series Putters
Price: $450 each
Specs: Milled 303 stainless steel head with Mini Honeycomb™ face milling, Royal Rose PVD finish, 362-gram head weight
Available: Nov. 29

Who it’s for: The Queen B 2025 series is designed for golfers who appreciate refined aesthetics and demand precision on the green.

What you should know: The Queen B line offers four head shapes that feature precise milling and classic design to give players tour levels of feel and control.

The deep dive: A year ago, Bettinardi released an updated version of the brand’s BB Series, giving the classic blades and midsize mallets a modern look thanks to a PVD finish. Those putters looked refreshed while retaining the classic Bettinardi feel that combines a solidness and softness at impact that golfers have loved for decades.

Now the Tinley Park, Illinois, putter maker is releasing an update to its Queen B family going back to Bettinardi’s roots.

If you want the latest high-tech face inserts, the newest alignment aids or the hottest new design, look someplace else because the Queen B putters — three blades and a mallet — look as old school as golf gets.

Each Queen B starts as a solid block of 303 stainless steel because it is milled in Bettinardi’s own factory. The 2024 heads each weigh 362 grams, which is heavier than milled blades of the past, but the added material delivers solidness when you strike the ball and enhances stability through the stroke.

The hitting area of the Queen B putters is covered by a Mini Honeycomb pattern that blends firmness and a responsive feel. Putts come off the face with a crispness you can feel in your hands, but they don’t sound clicky.

Each of the new Queen B putters comes with a Royal Rose PVD finish that glows with a honey-toned, copper-like shine.

Queen B #16 – A traditional heel-toe weighted blade with a wider flange and a crowned topline.

Queen B #8 – Available with a mini plumber’s neck or as a center-shafted putter, the #8 has a compact, squared-off head, solid look and single white alignment line.

Queen B #7 – A classic, semi-circular compact mallet with a slant neck hosel and compact blade length.

Queen B #6 – A heel-toe weighted, wide-body design that blends blade-style and mallet-style looks into one design. Extended heel and toe areas boost stability.

Here are several images of the updated Bettinardi Queen B putters:
