Last January, Scotty Cameron launched his own 2024 Ghost shooter line. The launch included 10 different fully milled, multi-material models. The Phantom 2024 line introduced new shapes and re-contoured classic Cameron models.
In addition to the usual Cameron precision milling, another key feature of the Phantom 2024 line was the improved alignment schemes. Some of the components were overt, like the arrows on top of the Phantom 11. Other stretch aids, like the refined angles on the front corners, were a bit more subtle.
In 2025, Cameron is continuing to offer the original Phantom line hammer and adding some new options. In a surprising twist, left-handed players are getting more new Phantoms than right-handed players.
I don’t know that this has ever happened before. Long live the southpaws!
New Scotty Cameron Phantom Left Handed Models
Left-handed Phantom options more than double in 2025. In the original lineup, left-handers only had the Phantom 7.5 and Phantom 11.5 to choose from.
This year, Cameron is adding the Phantom 5, Phantom 11 and Phantom 11 Long to the lineup of lefties.
No, there are still not as many as the right hand options. However, these three additions give left-handed players some choices in terms of fit and visual preference.
My local lefty has expressed interest in counterweight players but has not been thrilled with his picks. I’m sure the Phantom 11 Long has his attention.
New Phantom “.2” models.
The righties are only getting two new Phantom models this time around, but I think they’ll still be excited. The new Phantom 5.2 and Phantom 7.2 have hydraulic necks!
I might be the only one who gets excited when I see a new neck on a nail, but I was excited when I saw these.
So many of the classic blade rigs like the Cameron Newport 2 have hydraulic necks. These new builds are great for a blade player transitioning to a sledgehammer.
A jackhammer with a plumber’s neck will not only look familiar to the blade player, but it will also look familiar at address. Yes, there’s a bunch more going on in the back of the tire. However, the front of the tire, with the hydraulic 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. While it’s still a fantastic design, the Phantom 5.2 really feels like a blade when hitting the ball. After a few spins, I realized that it also looked like a blade. Let me explain.
While you’re unlikely to overlook the fangs at the back, you might not pay much attention to them at address. At least that’s how it was for me. My eyes were drawn to the front half of the tire. The lines running down the middle at the leading edge of the wings constantly drew my eyes back to the sighting points.
I’ve rolled Phantom 5 legs with different necks before, but this is the first version that felt like it suited my stroke and eye.
If you’re wondering why Cameron would release these with a new neck, this is why. I didn’t buy any previous Phantom 5s because the necks didn’t suit 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 nicer of the two devices. Sorry Phantom 5.2 but this is the truth. I could spend a lot of time looking at the Phantom 7.2, and I probably did.
I love the long sweeping arms. Sight lines running along the center edges are amazing alignment tools, especially when combined with forward wing angles and sight points.
Style 7 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.
jQuery(document).ready(function($) { var slides = $( ‘#mgs_gallery_6787052297661 .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image’ ).length; if ( slides 6 ) { slides $ } ( 6 ; ‘ #mgs_gallery_6787052297661 .mgs-gallery-images’ ).slick( { slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1, fade: true, prevArrow: ‘‘, next arrow:’‘, asNavFor: ‘#mgs_gallery_6787052297661 .mgs-gallery-thumbs’, swipe: false, mobileFirst: true, } ); $( ‘#mgs_gallery_6787052297661 .mgs-gallery-thumbs’ ).slick( { slidesToShow: ( slides – 1 ), //less than the number of slides, so it always shows infinite scrolling slides (bugfix) slide1, arrow : asNavFor : ‘#mgs_gallery_6787052297661 .mgs-gallery-images’, centerMode: true, focusOnSelect: true, infinite: true, mobileFirst: true, responsive: ( { breakpoint: 1023, settings: { slidesToShow: 3, { 0 }, , settings: { slidesToShow: 1, }, }, ), } ); $( ‘#mgs_gallery_6787052297661’ ).magnificPopup( { delegate: ‘.mgs-gallery-trigger’, type: ‘image’, gallery: { enabled: true, arrowMarkup: ‘‘, }, } ); } );
Full contact cow grip
I didn’t really pay attention to the catch when they released the ghosts. This was a mistake. While other companies put branded versions of stock clamps on their rigs, Cameron designs his own.
There’s a reason Cameron’s gloves have a loyal following. How many of you have a Baby T handle on one of your Cameron cameras?
The full contact glove does exactly what its name says. It fully contacts your hands. The slight drop at the top and bottom allows the grip to fit easily in your palms.
At the same time, the flat front surface provides a landing place for the thumbs and a reference for the club face.
The zipper design provides a soft and secure structure. I’m a fan for sure.
Welcome additions Cameron
It wasn’t that many years ago when having a plumber’s neck in a jackhammer was unthinkable. Not only that, but people who played hammer were often looked askance at. The theory is that if you played a sledgehammer, you’d be a bad shooter.
Fortunately, this myth has evaporated. Some of the best players in the world play hammer. Mallets with hydraulic necks, like these new Scotty Cameron Phantom models, offer the traditional blade player a more stable, yet familiar, shot feel.
These new additions improve the mounting options for the Scotty Cameron Phantom hammer line. For example, you now have four neck choices for the Phantom 5 and three for the Phantom 7.
When it comes to backpack options, I will always believe that more is better.
I’m sure people on the left will agree with me. You often leave out new releases completely. Cameron hasn’t forgotten about you and he wants you to have choices too.
Although I covered it more in the initial launch, it’s worth noting that all Phantom models are built for stability. The placement of steel and aluminum elements, as well as the removable sole weights, are positioned to increase MOI and forgiveness.
If you wish Cameron had released something more significant than a line extension this year, stay tuned. Your socks will be knocked off in no time.
