Scotty Cameron launches OC Low-Torque Putters

New Phantom 11R OC and Studio Style Fastback OC models deliver new approach to low-torque putter design

Scotty Cameron has rolled out a new range of Onset Center (OC) putters that 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 Center’ refers to the putters’ shaft position, which is set back of the putter head’s leading edge (Onset) and in line with its centre of gravity (Center). This tour-validated setup minimises 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.

“In the last few years, we’ve seen a growing number of golfers who want to minimise 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 minimise face rotation while maintaining responsiveness and feedback.”

OC TECHNOLOGY AND 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 (Center). This minimises 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 customisation: 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 15-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.

Phantom 11R OC
The new Phantom 11R OC is built off the Phantom 11 platform, a stable, high-MOI multi-material mallet design. The tour-inspired 11R shape features softer, more rounded edges than the Phantom 11 head, and the new model features a full chain-link milled face. The 11R has a single alignment line, which extends back to the shaft placement.

Studio Style Fastback OC
The new Studio Style Fastback OC model shares the footprint of the 2025 Fastback model, a ring-weighted mid-mallet design with high-contrast alignment. Like all Fastback offerings in the Studio Style family, the new Fastback OC is constructed from 303 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft aluminum, and it features a Studio Carbon Steel face insert with a chain-link milling pattern for better feel and roll performance. A single sight line delivers a clean, simple alignment cue at address.

Both models are at retail from November 14, with an SRP of £499.
