Scotty Cameron Launches New OC (Onset Center) Low-Torque Putters

New Phantom 11R OC and Studio Style Fastback OC models bring a tour-inspired approach to low-torque putter design.

CARLSBAD, Calif. (November 4, 2025 – 9:00 a.m. EST) — Scotty Cameron is introducing OC (Onset Center) technology to its putter lineup with two new models: the Phantom 11R OC and Studio Style Fastback OC. Both are engineered to promote a square-to-path delivery while preserving the feel and feedback golfers expect from the brand.

What “Onset Center” Means

“Onset Center” describes a shaft position that sits slightly back of the putter head’s leading edge (Onset) and in line with its front-to-back center of gravity (Center). This tour-validated setup minimizes torque and helps players feel the face stay square through impact. By adding OC to the Phantom and Studio Style families, Scotty Cameron gives golfers a new option alongside the brand’s existing neck and shaft configurations.

“We’re seeing more golfers who want to quiet face rotation through setup. OC gives those players a square, straight-back-and-through feel — without losing the responsiveness they expect from a Scotty.” — Austie Rollinson, Senior Director of Putter R&D

Low Torque, High Feedback

  • Low-torque layout: Shaft set back of the leading edge and aligned with CG to reduce torque and encourage a square delivery.
  • Traditional feedback: Phantom 11R OC uses a full chain-link milled face; Fastback OC features a Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert with chain-link milling. Both soften sound while preserving strike feedback.
  • Minimal shaft lean: One degree of lean promotes a neutral setup and clean topline view.
  • Loft & lie friendly: Adjustments to loft and lie do not compromise the low-torque behavior.
  • Connected stroke: Head weights are ~15 grams heavier than standard, paired with a custom black shaft tuned to match the added mass without muting feel; finished with a tapered Matador Mid grip.

Model Breakdown

Phantom 11R OC

Built on the Phantom 11 platform, this multi-material mallet emphasizes stability with a tour-inspired 11R shape featuring softer, rounded edges. A single sight line extends to the shaft position, and the full chain-link milled face offers solid, responsive feel. Available in right- and left-handed options.

Studio Style Fastback OC

A ring-weighted mid-mallet sharing the footprint of the 2025 Fastback. Constructed from 303 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft aluminum, it adds a Studio Carbon Steel insert with chain-link milling for enhanced feel and roll. A single sight line keeps alignment simple. Right-handed only.

FAQ

Are OC models zero-torque putters?
No. All putters experience torque during a stroke. OC models are Scotty Cameron’s lowest-torque designs to date, promoting a square-to-path delivery while maintaining feel.

What kind of golfers benefit most from OC?
Players who want to minimize face rotation and feel a straighter path. Minimal shaft lean, familiar head shapes, and a tapered Matador Mid grip help smooth the transition from conventional setups.

How do OC putters maintain feel and feedback?
A custom black shaft complements the ~15-gram heavier head weights without dulling sensation. The Fastback OC’s SCS insert and the Phantom 11R OC’s full chain-link milled face deliver the soft, responsive strike associated with Scotty Cameron — with clear feedback on strike location.

Availability & Price

New Scotty Cameron OC putter models will be in golf shops worldwide on Friday, November 14.  |  MAP: $549


AmateurGolf.com take: Low-torque stability meets Cameron feel — the OC lineup squares the face without making the stroke feel robotic.
