The 2026 Scotty Cameron Phantom putter line has been launched as a three-shape mallet family with multiple neck options.
The lineup consists of three compact, tour-inspired mallet heads (5, 7, 9R) with multiple neck and shaft options, and each features multi-material construction and a high moment of inertia for stability during the stroke.
The models all feature new full-face Studio Carbon Steel inserts, aiming for a softer feel, sharper distance control and a more tailored toe flow than previous Phantom generations.
A chain link pattern on the insert reduces contact points to improve feel while maintaining ball speed stability on mishits.
The faces are slightly larger in the center with a more rounded crown, while the soles are flatter with more surface area so the head sits more squarely regardless of hand position.
All models also now use single sight lines instead of dots or arrows, for cleaner, more uniform alignment for the whole family.
For the three heads, Scotty has created nine different setup combinations, combining shaft bends and neck styles to cover everything from straight back and through to powerful bow strikes.
Advantages and disadvantages
✅ Superior soft feel thanks to SCS inserts on the entire face
✅ Improved forgiveness and MOI in refined mallet shapes
✅ Versatile hose and shaft options for impact fitting
✅ Tour-refined styling for consistent address position
❌ Higher premium price
❌ Limited alignment aids with some sight lines
❌ Larger hammer sizes feel unfamiliar to blade users
Scotty Cameron Phantom 5 2026 Putter
The standard version of the compact wing-back hammer, the 5, has a single-bent shank and a nearly balanced face profile.
This model is best suited for straight or light arc strikes that require hammer stability in a compact form.
Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.2 2026 Putter
The 5.2 version of the Phantom 2026 is designed with Scotty Cameron’s I-beam plumber’s neck for a more traditional look.
The Hosel on this model still has the same compact wing-back hammer shape and adds a little more toe-flow than the standard 5.
Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.5 2026 Putter
The 2026 5.5 model is designed with a jet neck that produces a longer, more subtle forward lean than previous generations of this putter.
One of the most popular compact mallets in Scotty Cameron’s arsenal, the new 5.5 has a moderate toe-flow – more so than the 5.2.
Scotty Cameron Phantom 5 OC 2026 Goldfinch
The newcomer to the family, the 5 OC, is a low-torque Onset Center configuration that we have released from Scotty Cameron in the form of the 11R OC putter.
It looks the same as the others, but the shaft is aligned with the 5 OC’s center of gravity, providing an option for golfers looking for minimal twist and near-zero torque from their putter.
Designed for players who prefer a very square, neutral shot and center axis images, the 5 OC is aimed at golfers seeking minimal rotation while maintaining the signature 5 head shape.
Scotty Cameron Phantom 7 2026 Putter
One of three new versions of the 7 released, this version of the high MOI winged hammer features a single curved shaft and a largely balanced face profile.
Scotty Cameron has used a high MOI multi-material head in this new 2026 version, delivering maximum stability and minimal toe flow.
Scotty Cameron Phantom 7.2 2026 Putter
Like the 5 Series, the 7.2 Phantom putter is designed with the I-beam plumber neck for players looking for a blade-style hosel and a classic look.
The high MOI hammer has a modest toe-flow in setup, but still has the rail-like alignment and forgiveness of the 7 chassis.
Scotty Cameron Phantom 7.5 2026 Putter
The Phantom 7.5 is the jetneck hostel version of the putter and has the most toe flow in the series for golfers with stronger arc strokes.
The jet neck provides some forward pressure for a natural ball strike, while the high MOI hammer head is incredibly forgiving and consistent on the greens.
Scotty Cameron Phantom 9R 2026 putter
The 9R is a redesigned evolution of the previous 9, with a rounder rear profile and updated alignment compared to the previous generation.
The Phantom 9R has a more neutral straight-back-and-through setup than the 9.2R thanks to the single mid-bend hosel, and is the perfect option for players who prefer a more fluid mallet look.
Scotty Cameron Phantom 9.2R 2026 putter
Like all .2 versions in the series, the 9.2R Phantom is the version with the I-Beam plumbing neck for a hose traditionally found in blades.
This version is a smooth-toe variation of the 9R for a light arc stroke, but still combines the setup with strong stability and confidence-inspiring alignment.
2026 Scotty Cameron Phantom Putters Review: Are They Any Good?
The 2026 Phantom putters introduce full-face Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) inserts with chain-link milling for the softest feel yet in Scotty Cameron hammers.
These putters feature three core head shapes – Phantom 5, 7 and 9R – refined by feedback from Tour players, with taller face heights, higher crown radii and flatter soles for better stability and alignment at address.
Multiple Hosel options, including the new low-torque Onset Center on the Phantom 5 and double-bent shafts on the Phantom 7, accommodate a variety of stroke types while maintaining a premium, confidence-inspiring appearance.
