Scotty Cameron Putter Guide 2026: Every Model, Explained
Scotty Cameron now sells putters in three distinct lines for 2026 — the redesigned Phantom mallets, the Studio Style milled blades, and a handful of carry-over Super Select and older Phantom X heads. This guide pulls them apart so you can pick a head shape, neck, and toe-flow combination that actually fits your stroke instead of just buying the model your favorite Tour player won with last week.
Not sure which one fits? Use the chart below — or book a fitting and we'll narrow it down to one or two heads.

The 2026 Phantom Line — What Actually Changed
Scotty consolidated the Phantom mallet family around three core head shapes — 5, 7, and 9R — and now offers each in multiple neck and hosel combinations so the same head shape can fit very different strokes.
Phantom 5 family (compact mallet)
- Phantom 5 — mid-bend shaft, near face balanced.
- Phantom 5.2 — plumbing neck, moderate toe flow.
- Phantom 5.5 — jet neck, max toe flow.
- Phantom 5 OC — Onset Center, near face-balanced for SBST strokes.
Phantom 7 family (wingback mallet)
- Phantom 7 — mid-bend, classic wingback.
- Phantom 7.2 — plumbing neck.
- Phantom 7.5 — jet neck, max toe flow.
- Phantom 7 DB — double-bend, more face-balanced.
Phantom 9R / 11R family (rounded full mallet)
- Phantom 9R — rounded mallet, full-length sightline.
- Phantom 9.2R — plumbing neck variant.
- Phantom 11R OC — Onset Center, low-torque for SBST strokes.
Studio Style — Milled Blades And Mid-Mallets
Every Studio Style head uses Scotty's SCS face insert with chain-link milling — softer and quieter than solid-milled Super Select faces.
Newport family (classic blades):
Fastback / Squareback (mid-mallets):
Studio Style Catalina — near face-balanced flowback for SBST strokes.
Super Select And Phantom X — Still Worth A Look
ParWest still stocks several 2022–2024 heads, including the 2023 Super Select Newport 2 Plus, 2024 Phantom 7, 2024 Phantom 9, 2024 Phantom 11, and the 2022 Phantom X 11.
