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
The 2026 Phantom series elevates Scotty Cameron’s mallet putters to a new level of performance. Developed with intensive tour player feedback and highest manufacturing precision, Titleist introduces a completely redesigned Phantom family characterized by 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. Nine model, shaft, and hosel combinations ensure a perfect fit for different player profiles and putting strokes. The result is the most versatile Phantom generation yet.
New Core Component: 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 face and ball, delivering an especially soft sound, short impact tone, and sensitive feedback without sacrificing ball speed. The higher carbon content dampens vibrations significantly better than 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 a straight, square putting style seeking minimal shaft torque. The new double-bend shafts on the Phantom 7 provide a stronger face-balanced feel and a different look.
Tour-Inspired Design for Greater Stability at Setup
Subtle but crucial design changes define the new Phantom series. Higher faces and modified crowns create a smoother topline radius and improve visual alignment.
The sole construction has also been revised: a flatter sole with a larger contact area makes it easier to set the putter down. The putter sits 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 is visually subtler, longer, and still delivers the same offset and toe flow as the previous generation.
