The new Scotty Cameron Phantom putter 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 performance level. Developed with intensive tour player feedback and the highest manufacturing precision, Titleist presents a fully 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. In total, nine model, shaft, and hosel combinations ensure that diverse player profiles and putting styles are ideally addressed. The result: 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, providing an especially soft sound, a short strike 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, 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 twist. The new Double-Bend shafts in the Phantom 7 offer a more face-balanced feel and a different look.
Tour-Inspired Design for Greater Stability at Setup
Subtle but crucial design adjustments shape 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 a larger 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 visually, is longer, yet maintains the same offset and toe flow as previous generations.
