The new Scotty Cameron Phantom 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 2026 Phantom series, Scotty Cameron elevates its mallet putters to a new performance level. Developed based on extensive feedback from tour players and with the highest manufacturing 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 centers on three tour-inspired head shapes: Phantom 5, Phantom 7, and Phantom 9R. In total, nine combinations of models, shafts, and hosels ensure optimal fit for various player profiles and putting strokes. The result is the most versatile Phantom generation yet.
New Core: Studio Carbon Steel and Maximum Customization
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, a short impact tone, and sensitive feedback without compromising ball speed. The higher carbon content significantly dampens vibrations compared to 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 targets players with straight, square putting strokes seeking minimal shaft torque. The new Double Bend shafts in the Phantom 7 offer a stronger face-balanced feel and a different look.

Tour-Inspired Design for More Stability at Setup
Subtle but crucial design adjustments shape the new Phantom series. Taller faces and modified crowns create a smoother topline radius and improve visual alignment.
The sole construction was also revised: a flatter sole with a larger contact surface makes it easier to set the putter down. It sits more stable on the ground regardless of hand position or setup, offering clear advantages for consistency and repeatability.
The modified Jet Neck hosel on the .5 models appears visually subtler, is longer, yet provides the same offset and toe flow as the previous generation.
