The new Scotty Cameron Phantom combines 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 level of performance. Developed based on extensive feedback from tour players and with the utmost manufacturing precision, Titleist presents a completely redesigned Phantom family characterized by a softer feel, more precise distance control, and a noticeable confidence boost 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 the diverse 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 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, providing a particularly 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 choice of 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 style seeking minimal shaft torque. The new double-bend shafts in the Phantom 7 offer a stronger face-balanced feel and a changed visual appearance.

Tour-Inspired Design for More Stability at Setup
Subtle but key design adjustments shape the new Phantom series. Higher faces and modified crowns create a smoother radius on the topline 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 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 appears visually subtler, is longer, yet delivers the same offset and toe flow as the previous generation.
