The new Scotty Cameron Phantom combines a soft feel with precise distance control and offers various configuration options.
Precision and Distance Control: The New Scotty Cameron Phantom Generation
With the 2026 Phantom series, Scotty Cameron elevates its mallet putters to a new performance level. Developed with intensive feedback from tour players and crafted with the highest manufacturing precision, Titleist presents a completely revised Phantom family characterized by a softer feel, more precise distance control, and a noticeable boost in confidence at setup.
The new line centers on three tour-inspired head shapes: Phantom 5, Phantom 7, and Phantom 9R. A total of nine model, shaft, and hosel combinations ensure optimal appeal to diverse player profiles and putting strokes. The result is the most versatile Phantom generation yet.
New Core: Studio Carbon Steel and Maximum Configurability
All 2026 Phantom mallets feature a full-face Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert. The new chain-link milling reduces contact points between face and ball, delivering a particularly soft sound, short hit tone, and sensitive feedback without compromising ball speed. The higher carbon content dampens vibrations significantly more than previous metal inserts.
Additionally, Scotty Cameron expands shaft and hosel options: plumbing and jet neck, mid and double-bend, and for the first time, the Onset-Center (OC) low-torque configuration. The new Phantom 5 OC especially targets players with a straight, square putting stroke seeking minimal shaft torque. The new double-bend shafts in the Phantom 7 offer a stronger face-balanced feel and altered appearance.
Tour-Inspired Design for More Stability at Setup
Subtle but crucial design adjustments characterize the new Phantom series. Higher faces and modified crowns create a smoother topline radius and improve visual alignment.
The sole construction was also redesigned: a flatter sole with an enlarged footprint makes it easier to set the putter down. The putter sits more stably on the ground regardless of hand position or setup, a clear advantage for consistency and repeatability.
The modified jet neck hosel of the .5 models appears visually subtler, is lengthened, yet maintains the same offset and toe flow as the previous generation.
Model Overview: Three Shapes, Many Options
