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

New Scotty Cameron OC (Onset Center) 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 Center” 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 (Center). 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.
