Scotty Cameron Zero-Torque OC Putters HAVE DROPPED

The just-released Scotty Cameron zero-torque OC putters are the first zero-torque putters from Titleist’s putter guru that are available to recreational and club golfers. No golf equipment category is hotter than zero-torque putters, and Scotty Cameron is known for making some of the finest putters in the game, but what is the OC putter family all about? In this video, I will reveal how Scotty Cameron designed his first zero-torque putter family, how the Studio Style Fastback OC and the Phantom 11R OC are similar and different, and whether you should consider putting a Scotty Cameron zero-torque OC putter in your bag.

If you’re a golfer who’s been really interested in getting into a zero torque putter, but you love the feel of your Scotty Cameron putter, well, your weight may have just been rewarded. Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel. So, Scotty Cameron How has two offerings that are going to be classified as zero torque putters, as he refers to them though, OC, which means onset center. And the offerings are the Scotty Cameron Phantom 11R OC, and this is a Scotty Cameron studio style fastback OC. Okay, so let’s get into it and find out what makes these putters tick, how they perform, and if these are the putters that you have been waiting for in the zero torque category. So, as most golfers are now aware, zero torque putters are all about reducing the twisting and reducing the rotation of the face as you make your putter stroke. They are balanced and weighted in such a way that as you make your stroke, whether it’s a relatively straight stroke, a mildly arked stroke, or a strongly arc stroke, the face of the putter is designed to stay square to your stroke’s path throughout your putting stroke. So, that makes it a lot easier to return the face back to the square position you set up at a dress and then get the putt started on your intended target line. For players who struggle to get their putts started where they intend to start, zero putters have proved to be really successful and very very helpful. And when I talked to the folks at Sky Cameron, they saw the challenge for them being very specific. They wanted to create putters that were going to offer that type of stroke assistance, that type of help when you’re making your swing and that level of consistency. But combine it with the types of shapes that players are going to associate with Scotty Cameron that have been successful for a long time, as well as with the feel that many players really like, that finely mil feel that is really associated with Scotty Cameron putters. The key to doing that successfully is to make sure that the shaft goes directly into the heads right above where the center of gravity location is positioned. And in most putters, that’s going to be slightly back behind the hitting air, behind the face. And that creates a condition called onset. Again, where the face is in front of the shaft. Most putters, especially Scotty Camera putters, have what is referred to as offset, where the face or the hitting area is set behind where the shaft location and the shaft axis would naturally be. But as you can see, when you take a close look at the Phantom 11R and the Fastback OC, Cameron went about achieving that in these two putters in slightly different ways. Now, in the Phantom 11R, you can see that the shaft goes almost directly into the head. There’s a very small receiving area there behind the head. Everything is sort of lined up. And we’ve seen setups like this before in other zero torque putters. However, in the Fastback OC, you’re going to see that there’s a little bit different application here. There’s this little metal piece that’s behind the top line, which Cameron refers to as a spud assembly. And basically the shaft is going to be going down directly into again a receiving area and into that sort of projection that protrusion I should say that comes off the back of that top line. The whole idea behind that spud assembly back there is that it’s going to allow the Scotty Cameron and Fastback OC to be set up in slightly different ways while still maintaining that level of highly reduced practically zero torque. So with this putter, Scotty Cameron wanted to have a level of adjustability. But whenever you adjust the huzzle or the weight configuration within one of these putters, it’s going to affect how the swing works in that zero torque condition. So by having this sput assembly right here, it allows Cameron to be able to offer the Fastback OC in different types of versions. You can have this one with up to two degrees of forward shaft lean or one degree or no shaft lean at all. The shaft can go straight down into the head. It’s also going to allow Cameron to be able to offer different weights on the bottom of the putter, which again, when you change around the weight configuration within the head, you’re subtly shifting and moving around the center of gravity location. All of those things would naturally affect the way that the zero torque condition is maintained. So, by having this assembly right here, those minor adjustments can be made while using the same putter head. So, golfers are going to be able to test out and then special order any type of version that they want with either zero, one, or two degrees of forward shaft. You can also get different weights put in here if you like an especially heavy or an especially light putter. All of that while basically maintaining that zero torque or that highly reduced twisting as you make your back swing or your forward swing. Now, the other thing you’re going to want to know about the OC family of putters, and if you’ve got a keen eye, you may have already picked up on is that the hitting areas have been given the same type of carbon stainless steel that is found on the studio style putters that were released in January of 2025. So, the carbon steel has been given a chain link pattern that you can see right in through here. And the chain link pattern really does the same thing as many of the different groove patterns and the milling patterns that have been in Scotty Cameron putters in the past. The depth of that chain link pattern is going to help to create a deeper, richer sound. And sound is equated so much with feel, especially in the Scotty Cameron putters, that by altering the way that that chain link pattern was developed, Scotty Cameron and his team were able to basically fine-tune these putters, almost like an instrument. So that chain link pattern, while it looks pretty cool and is very unique, it does serve a purpose. As you can see, the chain link pattern has been added here as an insert in the Fastback OC. But when you take a look then at the Phantom 11R, you’ll notice that it goes across the entire hitting area right here. It’s not added as a small insert. The hitting area is completely covered by that chain link pattern and by the carbon steel. Now, the black sections that you can see in both of these putters are going to be 6061 aircraft grade aluminum, a very, very light material. Whereas the silver toned material is 303 stainless steel, something that’s much heavier and something that Scotty Cameron has used in his putters for years and years. So, obviously Scotty Cameron made these two putters available to me and I had a chance to go to TPC River Highlands, home of the Travelers Championship, and put both of these putters through their paces. And here are my thoughts. I think that first of all, the Fastback OC is going to be a putter that if you were transitioning into your very first zero torque putter, if you’re somebody who has used a milled putter before and this is going to be your first zero torque putter, this one will feel very, very good to you. You’re definitely going to notice that the putter face wants to stay square to your arc a little bit more easily. There’s a little less manipulation, I think, that players are going to have to do in order to keep the face rotation right where it needs to be. And that’s the entire goal of zero torque putter. At the same time, I think that the insert and the way that the ball comes off the face of this putter is identical to what I have felt whenever I have tried out any of the new studio style putters that Scotty Cameron put out in early 2025. So, if you like a milled putter feel, if you’re somebody who likes that crisp, sharp sensation and you equate that sensation with distances, this putter is going to be something that is super easy to transition into because of that spot assembly in the back. If you are worried that having your hands so far forward and creating so much onset is going to be offputting, you will be able to get this putter with either 0, one, or two degrees of forward shaft lean. So, you can get this with no forward shaft lean. So, the putter the putter shaft goes directly into the head. Again, easier to transition into if you’re someone who’s coming from a conventional putter. And because the head shape is so popular, Sky Camera has been making fastbacks for a long time, I think it’s a real advantage to be able to use a head shape like this. As far as the alternating chrome and black aluminum here and then the chrome again, that is completely suggestive. Some people might find that to be a little bit visually distracting. Other people might really appreciate the fact that along with a single alignment line here to have these sort of alternating colors and tones makes it a little bit easier to line up the putt. I’ll let you sort of decide. For me, honestly, when I’ve got a putter that has any level of onset, and this putter has some onset, you see the golf ball so clearly that I find lining up putts with just about every zero torque putter to be much easier for me personally. Um, and I think that with this putter again, because you see the ball so clearly that you might not rely or you might not need to rely on these types of colorations and these types of alignment systems nearly as much as you may have in the past. Transitioning then into the Phantom 11R. This one to me was everything that I thought a Scotty Cameron zero torque putter might be. This putter I think because it has a higher MOI and just a larger overall head. And in the version that they sent me, this has the two degrees of forward shaft. This thing felt like it was absolutely putting on autopilot. Whereas sometimes you’re if you use a camera analogy, sometimes it’s, you know, you got to fiddle around with every little setting to get the picture just right. Sometimes you just want to point and shoot. This is point and shoot. But it’s point and shoot with a Scotty Cameron feel. And I think that that has been what a lot of golfers have been waiting for. The feel again coming off of this carbon steel insert, the ball rolling out was tremendously good. It’s soft. It’s crisp. And I know that those two things sometimes, you know, don’t really work together. In this putter, they do. The sound is exactly what a a user of a milled putter would expect. And you get the roll of a classic Scotty Cameron putter. There are a lot of ways to line this up again, but because you get that um onset and the ball is so clearly seen. I don’t think that you’re necessarily going to need to rely on all these sort of subconscious angles and these different things that are there for your eye to sort of focus forward on the golf ball. It’s going to want to focus on the golf ball anyway. I found this putter though to be so easy to swing. All I had to do was just rock it back and rock it forward. and the weight distribution and the zero torque condition meant that the face really seemed to feel like it was locked into my stroke path. I gave it no thought whatsoever and putts rolled right on the line where I was looking. Whereas the Fastback OC, I think, as I said before, might be a great transitional putter for people who want to get into zero torque but have never used one before. I think that the Scotty Cameron 11RC could be the Scotty Cameron putter that people who are already using zero torque putters may have been waiting for. This is, I think, the one that could be the hit between these two. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if this is the first of what could end up being several different Scotty Cameron OC or zero torque putters that we see potentially in 2026. The the demand for zero torque putters is just not going away. People love this style of putting. And I think that Scotty Cameron and his folks took their time, talked to a lot of tour players. I’ve done videos about Scotty Cameron Zero torque putters on tour before. I think they listened to a lot of that feedback, laid back for a little bit, but now we’re going to start to see the Scotty Cameron entries into the zero torque uh world. I would think that these are the first entries, but I don’t think that they’re going to be the last when it comes to Scotty Cameron and Zero Torque. So, I think that’s just about everything you probably need to know with regard to the Scotty Cameron OC family of putters.
