The new Scotty Cameron Phantom combines a soft feel with precise distance control, offering 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 performance level. Based on extensive feedback from tour players and crafted with the highest manufacturing precision, Titleist introduces a completely redesigned Phantom family distinguished by a softer feel, more precise distance control, and noticeably increased confidence at setup.
At the core of the new lineup 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 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, delivering a particularly soft sound, short impact tone, and sensitive feedback without sacrificing ball speed. The higher carbon content dampens vibrations significantly more than previous metal inserts.
Additionally, Scotty Cameron expands the selection 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 twist. The new double-bend shafts on the Phantom 7 offer a stronger face-balanced feel and a changed look.
Tour-Inspired Shaping for More Stability at Setup
Subtle but crucial design adjustments characterize the new Phantom series. Higher faces and modified crowns create a smoother topline radius and improve visual alignment.
The sole construction has also been redesigned: a flatter sole with an increased 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 more subtle and is longer while maintaining the same offset and toe flow as the previous generation.
