The New Scotty Cameron Phantom for Maximum Versatility

The new Scotty Cameron Phantom putter combines a soft feel with precise distance control and offers several configuration options. 

Precision and Distance Control: The New Scotty Cameron Phantom Generation

With the Phantom 2026 series, Scotty Cameron raises its mallet putters to a new level of performance. Based on extensive input from tour players and crafted with the highest precision, Titleist presents a completely redesigned Phantom family characterized by a softer feel, more precise distance control, and a noticeable boost in confidence at setup.

The new line features 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 is the most versatile Phantom generation to date.

New Core: Studio Carbon Steel and Maximum Customization

All 2026 Phantom mallets come equipped with a full-area Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) face insert. The new chain-link milling reduces contact points between the face and ball, providing an especially soft sound, short impact tone, and sensitive feedback without sacrificing 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 is especially aimed at players with a straight, square putting style who seek minimal shaft twist. The new double-bend shafts in the Phantom 7 provide a stronger face-balanced feel and a changed appearance.

Tour-Inspired Design for More Setup Stability

Fine but crucial design adjustments define the new Phantom series. Taller faces and modified crowns create a more harmonious top line radius and improve visual alignment.

The sole construction was also redesigned: a flatter sole with a larger contact area makes it easier to set the putter down. The putter rests more stably on the ground regardless of hand position or setup, a clear advantage for consistency and repeatability.

The modified jet neck hosel on the .5 models is visually subtler, longer, yet still provides the same offset and toe flow as the previous generation.
