The new Scotty Cameron Phantom putters combine a soft feel with precise distance control and offer various 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. Based on intensive feedback from tour players and crafted with the highest manufacturing precision, Titleist presents a fully redesigned 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. A total of nine model, shaft, and hosel combinations ensure an optimal fit for a wide variety 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, a 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, as well as for the first time, the Onset-Center (OC) low-torque configuration. The new Phantom 5 OC is especially designed for players with a straight, square putting stroke who seek minimal shaft torque. The new double-bend shafts in the Phantom 7 offer a stronger face-balanced feel and a changed visual aesthetic.
Tour-Inspired Design for Enhanced Setup Stability
Subtle but crucial design adjustments characterize the new Phantom series. Higher faces and modified crowns create a more harmonious topline radius and improve visual alignment.
The sole construction has also been revised: a flatter sole with an increased footprint makes it easier to set the putter down. The putter rests more stably on the ground regardless of hand position or setup, providing a clear advantage for consistency and repeatability.
The modified jet neck hosel on the .5 models appears visually more subtle, is longer, yet still delivers the same offset and toe flow as the previous generation.
Model Overview: Three Shapes, Many Options
