The new Scotty Cameron Phantom offers a soft feel with precise distance control and various configuration options.
Precision and Distance Control: The New Scotty Cameron Phantom Generation
With the 2026 Phantom series, Scotty Cameron takes its mallet putters to a new level of performance. Developed with extensive tour player feedback and highest manufacturing precision, Titleist presents a fully redesigned Phantom family characterized by a softer feel, more precise distance control, and increased confidence at address.
The new lineup centers on three tour-inspired head shapes: Phantom 5, Phantom 7, and Phantom 9R. A total of nine model, shaft, and hosel combinations ensure a perfect fit for different 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 the face and ball, delivering a notably soft sound, short impact tone, and sensitive feedback without sacrificing ball speed. The higher carbon content significantly dampens vibrations compared to previous metal inserts.
Scotty Cameron also expands its shaft and hosel options: Plumbing and Jet Neck, Mid- and Double-Bend, plus for the first time, the Onset-Center (OC) Low-Torque configuration. The new Phantom 5 OC is tailored for players with a straight, square putting stroke who seek minimal shaft twist. The Phantom 7’s new Double-Bend shafts offer a stronger face-balanced feel and distinct appearance.
Tour-Inspired Design for Greater Stability at Address
Subtle but important design refinements define the new Phantom series. Taller faces and modified crowns create a more harmonious topline radius and enhance visual alignment.
The sole has been redesigned with a flatter profile and increased surface area to facilitate easier setup. The putter rests more stable 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 appears more subtle, is longer, yet maintains the same offset and toe flow as the previous generation.
