Scotty Cameron enters the low-torque market with the new OC neck option

When zero-torque, low-torque putter options began flooding the market, one major player stood still and looked at the growing trend.

But on Tuesday, Scotty Cameron unveiled his new OC (short for Onset Center) putters, finally entering the low-torque putting space. The OC neck design is released as an option on two main shapes in the Studio style and Phantom lineups: the Fastback OC and Phantom 11R OC.

“We designed our AAC models to minimize facial rotation while maintaining responsiveness and feedback.”

Keep reading below for more information on the Scotty Cameron OC models and my thoughts on this highly anticipated release.

What are Scotty Cameron OC putters?

“The way the Cameron brand operates, they don’t really want to rush into anything,” Andrew Thomas, Cameron’s Senior Marketing Manager, told GOLF. “They want to be deliberate and methodical about how they approach a specific technology in putters.

As Rollinson began taking Tour player feedback on low torque designs, Rollinson kept hearing that gaming a low torque — commonly referred to as “zero torque” — putter often meant sacrificing feel. That’s why Cameron’s OC designs place a clear priority on feel and maintaining a traditional setup.

Both the Fastback OC And Phantom 11R OC Putters differ from their basic models in having a center-shaft design, where the shaft’s axis is placed directly through the center of gravity of the clubhead. But they are also 15 grams heavier and have slightly stiffer shafts designed to match the weight increase without dulling the feel.

To maintain a more traditional appearance and setup position, the putters have only one degree of shaft slope, allowing them to use conventional grips.

Unlike other low-torque options on the market, the Onset Center putters do not have the shaft go directly into the head, meaning the lie and shaft lean — thus loft — can be adjusted. Cameron says any adjustments would not affect the putter’s low-torque properties.

The Phantom 11R shape also indicates more rounded edges than current Phantom 11 putters, similar to Cameron Young’s Phantom 9.5R putter.

Who are Scotty Cameron OC putters for?

Thomas was adamant that the new OC options and low-torque putters in general are not a silver bullet and are not suitable for every golfer.

But for players who have a more natural square-to-square stroke, the new OC putter options will be a nice addition.

My thoughts!

It was only a matter of time before Scotty joined the low-torque chat, and the entry is exactly what we expected.

Going forward, it’s likely you will start to see plenty of OEMs distance themselves from the “zero torque” terminology, as Cameron is here, because these putters aren’t actually zero torque. It’s nice to see an OEM recognize this right away when launching a new product. Cameron has specifically stated that they understand that as soon as human hands are on the putter, there is going to be a certain amount of torque introduced.

In terms of feel, these putters certainly live up to the Scotty Cameron name. I haven’t decided yet if I’m fully on the low-torque train, but I’ve been playing around with the Fastback OC. I noticed this is very similar to my Studio Style Catalina, my gamer.

Price, specifications and availability

Scotty Cameron Studio Style Fastback OC custom putter

As an extension of the popular Studio Style Fastback design, the Studio Style Fastback OC is a low–torque model featuring the same ring–weighted, high–alignment, multi–material design of the other Fastback models, but with Scotty’s tour–validated OC technology package. Featuring onset center shaft placement behind the putter face’s leading edge, the straight shaft is precisely positioned in line with the putter head’s CG location and leans 1° forward. This ensures low-torque performance and plane alignment that remains perpendicular to the path. STUDIO CARBON STEEL (SCS) FACE INSERT The Studio Style Fastback OC includes a chain–link milled Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert for soft sound and feel, treated with an electroless nickel plating for enhanced durability with aerospace–inspired vibration damping for tuned sound, feel and performance. CUSTOM BLACK SHAFT Custom made for the new OC putters, each model includes a special black KBS x Scotty Cameron shaft with optimal flex, unimpeded alignment and precise feel. CUSTOM MATADOR GRIP With a debossed chain–link texture built–in, each new OC putter includes a custom 11–inch mid–size Matador grip in black with racy red and cool gray accents.
