Last January, Scotty Cameron launched his 2024 Phantom putter line. The launch included 10 different fully milled, multi-material models. The 2024 Phantom line introduced new shapes and re-contoured classic Cameron designs.
In addition to the usual Cameron precision milling, another key feature of the 2024 Phantom line was enhanced alignment schemes. Some of the components were overt, like the arrows on the top of the Phantom 11. Other alignment aids, like the refined angles at the front corners, were a little more subtle.
In 2025, Cameron is continuing to offer the original Phantom line mallets and adding a couple of new options. In a stunning twist, left-handed golfers are getting more new Phantoms than the right-handers.
I don’t know that this has ever happened before. Viva southpaws!
New left-handed Scotty Cameron Phantom models
The left-handed Phantom options more than double in 2025. In the original batch, lefties had only the Phantom 7.5 and the Phantom 11.5 to choose from.
This year, Cameron is adding the Phantom 5, Phantom 11 and Phantom 11 Long to the left-handed cohort.
No, it is still not as many as the right-handed options. However, these three additions give the left-handed players some choices in terms of fit and visual preference.
My local lefty has expressed interest in counterbalanced putters but has not been thrilled with his choices. I’m sure the Phantom 11 Long has his attention.
New Phantom “.2” models
Right-handers are getting only two new Phantom models this time around but I think they will still be excited. The new Phantom 5.2 and Phantom 7.2 feature plumber’s necks!
I may be the only one who gets excited when I see a new neck on a putter but I was pumped when I saw these.
So many of the classic blade putters like the Cameron Newport 2 have plumber’s necks. These new builds are great for a blade player transitioning to a mallet.
A mallet with a plumber’s neck will not only feel familiar to the blade player but will also look familiar at address. Yes, there is a bunch more going on at the rear of the putter. However, the front of the putter, with the plumber’s neck, will look similar to what is seen at address with a blade.
Here are the new Scotty Cameron Phantom “.2” models.
Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.2
The Scotty Cameron Phantom 5.2 is the more compact of the two models. Though still a fang design, the Phantom 5.2 really feels like a blade when striking the ball. After some rolls, I found that it looked like a blade as well. Let me explain.
Though you are unlikely to overlook the fangs to the rear, you may not pay much attention to them at address. At least that was the case for me. My eyes were drawn to the front half of the putter. The lines pointing to the middle at the leading edge of the wings consistently directed my eyes back to the sight dots.
I have rolled Phantom 5 putters with different necks before but this is the first version that felt like it fit my stroke and my eye.
If you are wondering why Cameron would release these with a new neck, that’s the reason. I did not buy any previous Phantom 5s because the necks didn’t fit my needs.
On the other hand, the Phantom 5.2 is in my bag for today’s round.

Scotty Cameron Phantom 7.2
The Scotty Cameron Phantom 7.2 is the better-looking of the two putters. Sorry Phantom 5.2 but that’s the truth. I could spend a great deal of time ogling the Phantom 7.2, and maybe I did.
I love the long sweeping wings. The sightlines that run along the center edges are amazing alignment tools, especially when combined with the forward-pointing wing angles and sight dots.
The 7 style is very popular and one of my favorites. I had assumed this one was going in the bag but the Phantom 5.2 was more accurate for me. Go figure.

Full Contact paddle grip
I didn’t really pay attention to the grip when the Phantom putters released. That was a mistake. While other companies put branded versions of stock grips on their putters, Cameron designs his own.
There is a reason Cameron’s putter grips have a loyal following. How many of you have a Baby T grip on one of your Cameron putters?
The Full Contact grip does exactly what its name says. It fully contacts your hands. The slight taper at the top and bottom allows the grip to sit easily in your palms.
At the same time, the flat front surface provides a landing spot for thumbs and a reference to the clubface.
The chain-link pattern provides a soft and secure texture. I’m a fan for sure.
Welcome Cameron additions
It was not that many years ago when having a plumber’s neck on a mallet was inconceivable. Not only that but people who played mallets were often looked at askance. The theory being that if you played a mallet, you were a bad putter.
Thankfully, that myth has been vaporized. Some of the best putters in the world play mallets. Mallets with plumber’s necks, like these new Scotty Cameron Phantom models, provide the traditional blade player with a more stable, but familiar feeling, putter.
These new additions enhance the fitting options for the Scotty Cameron Phantom mallet line. For example, you now have four neck choices for the Phantom 5 and three for the Phantom 7.
When it comes to hosel options, I will always believe more is better.
I’m sure that left-handed folks will agree with me. You are often completely left out of new releases. Cameron hasn’t forgotten you and he wants you to have choices as well.
Though I covered it more in the initial launch, it is worth noting that all of the Phantom models are built for stability. The placement of the steel and aluminum elements, as well as the removable sole weights, are positioned to boost MOI and forgiveness.
If you are wishing Cameron had released something more significant than a line extension this year, stay tuned. Your socks will be knocked off very soon.
