The new Scotty Cameron Phantom offers a soft feel with precise distance control and multiple 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 from extensive feedback by tour players and with the highest manufacturing precision, Titleist presents a fully redesigned Phantom family featuring a softer feel, more precise distance control, and a noticeable boost in confidence at setup.
At the core 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 optimal fit for a wide range of 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, creating a particularly soft sound, sharp impact tone, and sensitive feedback without compromising ball speed. The higher carbon content significantly dampens vibrations compared to previous metal inserts.
Scotty Cameron also 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. Notably, the new Phantom 5 OC targets players with a straight, square putting stroke seeking minimal shaft twist. The new double-bend shafts on the Phantom 7 offer a stronger face-balanced feel and a distinct look.
Tour-Inspired Design for More Stability at Setup
Subtle but important design adjustments define the new Phantom series. Taller faces and modified crowns create a smoother topline radius and improve visual alignment.
The sole construction is also reworked: a flatter sole with a larger footprint makes it easier to set the putter down. 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.
