Scotty Cameron Onset Center Low Torque Putters (Reviewed)

Pros & Cons

✅ Low-torque shaft placement (Onset Center) reduces twisting, delivering a square-to-the-path feel
✅ Promotes straight-back-and-through putting with minimized face rotation for consistent alignment
✅ Enhanced stability and higher MOI (Moment of Inertia) head shapes improve forgiveness and consistency
✅ Shaft lean is minimal (one degree), providing a neutral setup and unimpeded view at address
❌ The low-torque configuration may not suit golfers who prefer more toe hang
❌ Heavier head weight may require an adjustment period for those accustomed to lighter putters
❌ Limited initial models and shaft configurations may not cater to every golfer

Scotty Cameron Phantom 11R OC Putter Design & Specs

The Phantom 11R OC is a classic mallet-style putter built on the popular Phantom 11 design but with new low torque features.

It is designed for players who demand the ultimate in stability with minimal face rotation and consistent alignment on the greens.​

The OC version of the putter has been redesigned with softer, more rounder edges and fitted with Scotty Cameron’s Onset Center (OC) shaft position for minimal torque and maximum stability.

The shaft sits directly in line with the center of gravity and also features a subtle one degree forward lean to promote a straight-back and straight-through stroke.

The 11R OC has a heavier head, which is constructed from a 303 stainless steel face and body and 6061 aircraft aluminum sole/flange and adds to the MOI and forgiveness without sacrificing premium, responsive feel.​

The putter also features new chain-link face milling, which softens sound and increases feedback by reducing contact points with the ball.

The Phantom 11R OC is available in 33-inch, 34-inch and 35-inch lengths, right-handed and left-handed versions and comes fitted with a special black KBS x Scotty Cameron shaft and custom 11-inch Matador grip.

Scotty Cameron Studio Style Fastback OC Putter Design & Specs

The Fastback is one of Scotty Cameron’s most popular mid-mallet models and it gets a new low torque design in the Onset Center series.

Having already been launched as a Xperimental Limited Edition putters in 2025, the Fastback OC version is built on the Studio Style look and retains classic Scotty Cameron aesthetics.

Like the Phantom 11R OC, it features a center shaft directly in line with the center of gravity to deliver a low-torque and anti-twist putting experience.

The design helps keep the face square to the stroke path and supports speed control and alignment confidence, even on off-center hits.​ A one degree shaft lean also helps with a straight putting stroke.

Also part of the design is the Scotty Cameron Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) face insert, which has chain-link milling for a soft sound at impact.

The Fastback OC, with a slightly heavier head than other versions for increased MOI, is ideal for players who want the feel and feedback of a traditional mid-mallet but with modern low-torque anti-twist advantages.​

The Fastback OC is available in 33-inch, 34-inch and 35-inch lengths but only as right-handed putters. It comes fitted with a special black KBS x Scotty Cameron shaft and custom 11-inch Matador grip.

Scotty Cameron Onset Center Low Torque Putters Review: Are they any good?

While rivals LAB, Odyssey, TaylorMade, PXG and Bettinardi have led the way with zero torque putters, Scotty Cameron haven’t entered the fray until now.

All of the impressive traits and performances of Scotty Cameron putters are still part of the OC range, but the Phantom 11R and Fastback come with anti-twist, low torque benefits that have become all the rage.

Both models provide less face rotation, a straighter putting stroke and precise head weighting for maximum forgiveness – at the same time delivering the Scotty Cameron feel and feedback. They are a real winner.
