Scotty Cameron has introduced the Phantom 3.2, a compact mid-mallet that joins the 2026 Phantom family alongside the new high-MOI Phantom 12. Right-handed 3.2 models reach select golf shops worldwide on June 25, with left-handed 3.2 and Phantom 12 models following on July 23. The SRP is £479.

The 3.2 sits between blade familiarity and mallet forgiveness. It uses a “.2” plumbing neck for moderate toe flow and is built around a smaller, more maneuverable footprint than the existing Phantom 5 or 9R shapes. Scotty Cameron positions it as a fit for golfers who already favour rounded putters such as the Newport, GOLO or Fastback but want the added stability of a mid-mallet head.

Alignment and Insert

The 3.2’s alignment system stacks multiple visual cues: a Tri-Line sight line running front to back, a T-Crown detail borrowed from the Phantom 9 and open slots, or “windows,” that frame the golf ball at address. Together, those features are designed to make a compact shape look stable and easy to aim.

A full-face Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert with chain-link face milling shapes the feel. Scotty Cameron says the insert softens sound while preserving feedback and ball speed off the face, a combination consistent across the 2026 Phantom lineup.

Four Shapes in One

Austie Rollinson, Senior Director of Putter R&D for Scotty Cameron, said the 3.2 was built by combining elements from earlier Cameron designs.

“The mid-mallet category is really popular on tour, and the 3.2 was basically designed to blend together different iconic Cameron shapes from the past. The face profile was influenced by the Red X model. The rounded footprint has some of the GOLO 6 in it. We wanted to bring in the T-Crown detail of the Phantom 9, which allows the sight line to stretch the length of the head from front to back. And then lastly, the ‘slots’ really came from the old Kombi model, which is a great way of both removing weight and creating an additional alignment feature.”

Tour Validation

The Phantom 3 head shape first appeared on tour in July 2025. Ludvig Åberg switched to a Phantom 3.2 tour prototype at the Charles Schwab Challenge and, according to Scotty Cameron’s release, gained +5.127 strokes on the greens over his first eight rounds with the putter. That translated to an average of +0.641 strokes gained per round, up from +0.169 before the switch, a jump from 59th to what would rank eighth on the PGA TOUR.

Titleist Brand Ambassador Ryan Gerard, who finished runner-up at the Memorial with a Phantom 3 prototype, said the smaller profile suited his eye.

“Some of the larger mallets, coming from a blade, they kind of get a little bit noisy when I’m looking down at it,” Gerard said.

“This is a really sleek design, everything kind of blends in.”

Specs

Standard specs across the 2026 Phantom lineup apply: 3.5 degrees of loft, 70-degree lie angle, stock lengths of 33, 34 and 35 inches, and a Grey Full Contact grip. The 3.2 is available in both right-handed and left-handed configurations.
