The new Scotty Cameron Phantom combines a soft feel with precise distance control and offers 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 with intense feedback from tour players and highest manufacturing precision, Titleist presents a completely revamped Phantom family that features a softer feel, more precise distance control, and a noticeable boost in confidence at address.
At the core of the new line are three tour-inspired head shapes: Phantom 5, Phantom 7, and Phantom 9R. Nine model, shaft, and hosel combinations ensure that a wide variety of player profiles and putting strokes are perfectly addressed. The result is the most versatile Phantom generation yet.
New Core: Studio Carbon Steel and Maximum Configurability
All 2026 Phantom mallets are equipped with a full-face Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert. The new chain-link milling reduces contact points between the face and ball, delivering an especially 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 selection of shaft and hosel options: plumbing and jet neck, mid- and double-bend, as well as the new 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 in the Phantom 7 offer a stronger face-balanced feel and a changed look.
Tour-Inspired Shaping for Improved Stability at Setup
Subtle but crucial design adjustments characterize the new Phantom series. Higher faces and modified crowns create a more harmonious radius on the topline and improve visual alignment.
The sole design is also updated: a flatter sole with an enlarged contact area facilitates the putter’s placement. The putter sits 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, but still provides the same offset and toe flow as the previous generation.
