The new Scotty Cameron Phantom combines soft feel with precise distance control and offers various customization options.
Precision and Distance Control: The New Scotty Cameron Phantom Generation
With the Phantom series 2026, Scotty Cameron raises his mallet putters to a new level of performance. Based on intensive feedback from tour players and crafted with highest precision, Titleist presents a completely redesigned Phantom family that stands out with softer feel, more precise distance control, and a noticeable boost in confidence 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 that a wide range of player profiles and putting strokes are optimally addressed. The result is the most versatile Phantom generation yet.
New Core: Studio Carbon Steel and Maximum Configurability
All Phantom mallets 2026 feature a full-face Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert. The new chain-link milling reduces contact points between face and ball, resulting in a particularly soft sound, short impact tone, and sensitive feedback without loss of ball speed. The higher carbon content significantly dampens vibrations compared to 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. Especially the new Phantom 5 OC targets players with a straight, square putting stroke seeking minimal shaft twist. The new double-bend shafts in the Phantom 7 provide a stronger face-balanced feel and an altered visual appearance.
Tour-Inspired Design for More Stability at Setup
Fine but crucial design adjustments define the new Phantom series. Higher faces and modified crowns create a smoother radius on the topline and improve visual alignment.
The sole construction was also revised: a flatter sole with a larger contact area facilitates putting the putter down. The putter 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 still delivers the same offset and toe flow as the previous generation.
