Also a favorite on tour, the Phantom 9R is the next evolution of the Phantom 9 head shape that debuted in 2024. The 9R (“R” denoting rounded) features softer, more rounded contours and edges compared to its predecessor. A modified “R” version of the 9 head shape was first played on tour by Justin Thomas and is currently gamed by Cameron Young, who trusted the profile of a 9R model to win his first PGA TOUR title last season.
Phantom 5 and 9R models feature a mid-bend shaft
Also making its in-line debut is the double-bend shaft configuration of the Phantom 7. Designed with extensive tour player input, the double-bend provides a more face-balanced feel with an alternative look at address compared to the mid-bend shaft setup previously offered in the 7.
Each 2026 Phantom mallet features a new full-face Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert with chain-link face milling, fine-tuning sound and feel while preserving ball speed off the face. SCS inserts first debuted in the 2025 Studio Style lineup after extensive testing to find the optimal combination of material and milling. Carbon steel, which has a greeter damping capacity than metal inserts like Teryllium, stainless steel and aluminum, softens sound by limiting the duration of the tone of the strike. The chain-link milling technology reduces the number of touchpoints with the golf ball at impact to further soften sound while maintaining feel and feedback for the golfer — a key hallmark of Scotty Cameron putters.
New Phantom putters feature several head shape and profile refinements, all of which were directly informed by tour player feedback. Deeper faces and modified crowns: New Phantom putters have a taller height at face center and an increased radius on the topline, both of which affect subtle visuals at address and can translate to better path into the ball.
