Scotty Cameron · Putter · 2026
Phantom 7.5
CaddyIndex™ breakdown — what the agentic research found across each of the six performance dimensions, with cited sources.
You putt with a defined/strong arc but want maximum forgiveness - a high-MOI wingback mallet with the most toe flow in the 2026 line, the soft Studio Carbon Steel feel and rail-like alignment.
You putt with a straight stroke (look to the 7/7 DB) or slight arc (look to the 7.2), you want a compact shape (look to the 5.5), or you want a value price.
Pros
- An incredibly forgiving high-MOI wingback mallet
- A new Studio Carbon Steel insert - the softest Phantom feel yet
- A jet neck with the most toe flow in the series - for stronger arcs
- Rail-like alignment with a clean single sightline
Cons
- The most toe flow in the series - built for a defined arc, not a straight stroke
- A larger wingback mallet head
- A premium $499 price
By dimension
Forgiveness
Exceptional - the high-MOI mallet head is incredibly forgiving and consistent on the greens, the larger sharp-angled wingback footprint giving stability. Among the most forgiving premium mallets - a high-MOI wingback head.
Distance
A standout - the full-face Studio Carbon Steel chain-link insert is consistent on the greens, the insert sharpening distance control. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
The strongest-arc Phantom - the jet neck has the most toe flow in the series for golfers with stronger-arc strokes, delivering some forward press for natural ball striking. Good arc-fit - the most toe flow of the 2026 wingbacks.
Feel
A class leader - the new full-face Studio Carbon Steel insert gives a soft feel, carbon steel having greater dampening than Teryllium and the chain-link mill reducing contact points to soften feel while keeping feedback. Among the very best putter feels in golf.
Sound
A soft, muted note - the Studio Carbon Steel insert gives a soft impact, the chain-link milling softening sound while maintaining feedback. Among the better putter sounds - a clean, muted note.
Looks at address
Premium, with class-leading alignment - the sharp-angled wingback with longer wings and a deeper face, the rail-like alignment and clean single sightline of the 2026 line. Among the very best-looking, best-aligning mallets.
