The Scotty Cameron Low-Torque OC (Onset Centre) putters combine low-torque performance with exceptional feel and feedback, promoting a square-to-the-path delivery while keeping golfers connected to the putting stroke. Two new models — the Phantom 11R OC and Studio Style Fastback OC — bring OC technology to each of Scotty Cameron’s putter families in familiar mallet and mid-mallet profiles.
“Onset Centre” refers to the putters’ shaft position, which is set back of the putter head’s leading edge (Onset) and in line with its center of gravity (Centre). This tour-validated setup minimizes torque and simplifies the putting stroke, and its addition to the Studio Style and Phantom families gives golfers a new option within Scotty Cameron's range of existing shaft and neck configurations.
QUOTING SENIOR DIRECTOR OF PUTTER R&D AUSTIE ROLLINSON:
“In the last few years, we’ve seen a growing number of golfers who want to minimize the feel of face rotation in the stroke via putter setup,” said Austie Rollinson, Scotty Cameron’s Senior Director of Putter R&D. “And as a designer, what excites me most about OC is that it gives golfers options. We now have an entirely new configuration for golfers who want to feel a square, straight-back-and-through path.”
In addition to shaft placement, OC’s design features – such as the tour-proven head shapes, chain-link face milling, minimal shaft lean and precisely-selected shaft and grip – facilitate a natural transition from traditional putting styles for players seeking reduced face rotation and consistency on the greens without losing connection to the stroke.
“When we went to work on low-torque designs, as with all products, we started with tour player feedback,” said Rollinson. “It became clear that low-torque putters often come at the cost of feel, so we designed our OC models to minimize face rotation while maintaining responsiveness and feedback.”
PHANTOM 11R OC
Inspired by prototype models made for tour players, the Phantom 11R OC—“R” for “round” and “OC” for “onset centre”—is a new Phantom mallet with rounded corners in a revolutionary low torque package. With a straight shaft installed directly in line with the model’s CG, the Phantom 11R OC is designed with a heavier head to provide high stability while maintaining very low torque through the stroke.
With a subtle shaft lean of 1° forward, clean alignment cues and a comfortable, familiar setup, this low-torque design includes chain-link face milling for a responsive, soft feel and a premium black shaft accessorized with a custom mid-size Matador grip. It’s a low-torque solution with superior feel that promotes a stroke that keeps the face square to the path. Also available in a left-handed option.
Features:
- Low-torque design: Scotty Cameron OC putters feature shaft placement set back from the leading edge (Onset) and in line with the putter head’s front-to-back CG (Centre). This minimizes torque and creates a square feel for golfers looking to eliminate face rotation.
- Traditional feel and feedback: The Phantom 11R OC model features Scotty Cameron’s chain-link face milling design across the face, while the Fastback OC model features the Studio Style lineup’s Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) face insert, also with chain-link face milling. Both designs dial in feel by softening sound while preserving feedback, which is essential in identifying strike location — especially in low-torque setups.
- Minimal shaft lean: OC putters feature one degree of shaft lean, promoting a neutral setup and a natural hand position familiar to many of the best putters in the game. The subtle shaft lean also delivers unimpeded topline views at address.
- Loft and lie customization: Adjusting the loft and lie angle on OC putters does not compromise low-torque performance, allowing golfers to make spec changes as needed.
- Heavier head weight, custom shaft and grip: New OC models offer connection to the putting stroke through 10-gram heavier head weights (compared to standard Scotty Cameron models) and a custom black shaft with flex properties designed to match the weight increase without dulling feel. OC putters are also equipped with a tapered Matador Mid grip.
