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 Phantom 2026 series, Scotty Cameron raises his mallet putters to a new level of performance. Based on intensive feedback from tour players and developed with the highest manufacturing precision, Titleist presents a completely redesigned Phantom family that stands out with a softer feel, more precise distance control, and a noticeable boost in confidence at address.
At the heart of the new line are three tour-inspired head shapes: Phantom 5, Phantom 7, and Phantom 9R. A total of nine model, shaft, and hosel combinations ensure that a wide range of player profiles and putting strokes are optimally addressed. The result: the most versatile Phantom generation to date.
New Core: Studio Carbon Steel and Maximum Configurability
All 2026 Phantom mallets are equipped with a full-face Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert. The new chain-link milling reduces contact points between face and ball, resulting in an especially soft sound, short impact tone, and sensitive feedback without loss of ball speed. The higher carbon content significantly dampens vibrations compared to previous metal inserts.
Additionally, Scotty Cameron expands the selection of shaft and hosel options: plumbing and jet neck, mid- and double-bend, as well as, for the first time, the Onset Center (OC) low-torque configuration. The new Phantom 5 OC targets players with a straight, square putting style seeking minimal shaft twist. The new double-bend shafts on the Phantom 7 offer a stronger face-balanced feel and a changed look.
Tour-Inspired Design for More Stability at Address
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 has also been revised: a flatter sole with a larger contact area makes it easier to set the putter down. The putter rests more steadily on the ground, regardless of hand position or setup, providing a clear advantage for consistency and repeatability.
The modified jet neck hosel of the .5 models appears visually more subtle, is longer in design, yet delivers the same offset and toe flow as the previous generation.
