(CARLSBAD, Calif.) — Scotty Cameron introduces the new limited-edition Phantom OC Spec III putters, pairing all-black configurations and high-contrast sightlines with the low-torque Phantom 5 and 11R OC designs.
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. “Onset Center” refers to the putter’s shaft position, which is set back of the putter head’s leading edge (Onset) and in line with its center of gravity (Center) to help minimize torque and simplify the putting stroke.
The new Scotty Cameron Phantom OC Spec III mallets are named after the highly optimized Spec III performance builds in the automotive world, where all components and modifications operate harmoniously to produce ultimate performance. Both models are equipped with a glare-free, durable PVD black finish as well as three high-contrast sightlines to help lock in alignment and frame the golf ball at address. A custom black mid-size Matador grip and a black steel shaft round out the limited-edition all-black setup.
New Scotty Cameron Spec III OC putters will be in golf shops beginning October 1.
MODEL OVERVIEW
Phantom 5 OC Spec III
A longstanding favorite of Scotty Cameron’s mallet head shapes across the worldwide professional tours, the Phantom 5 is a modern wingback design with a compact profile. The Phantom 5 OC Spec III model delivers low-torque performance with a black PVD finish and three high-contrast sightlines to frame the golf ball and lock in start lines. This model benefits from Scotty Cameron’s full-face Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) insert with chain-link face milling for a softer sound and feel off the face.
Phantom 11R OC Spec III
Scotty Cameron's Phantom 11R is a stable, high-MOI mallet with a tour-inspired rounded shape. The new Phantom 11R OC Spec III delivers low-torque performance with a black PVD finish and three high-contrast sightlines to frame the golf ball and lock in start lines. This model leverages Scotty’s chain-link face milling for a responsive, soft feel at impact.
The Phantom 11R OC Spec III is available as a left-handed option as well.

FAQs
Are OC models zero-torque putters?
OC putters are low torque, as the act of putting introduces some amount of torque, no matter the design. Compared to other Scotty Cameron offerings, OC putters deliver the lowest torque design for a square-to-the-path delivery.
What kind of golfers would benefit most from OC?
OC putters will best fit players looking to minimize face rotation and feel a straight-back-and-through stroke. Design elements like minimal shaft lean (one degree), familiar head shapes from the Phantom family, and a conventional grip style (tapered mid-size Matador) help facilitate a smooth transition from more traditional putter setups.
How do OC putters maintain feel and feedback?
A priority throughout the OC design process was to mitigate loss of feel and feedback. OC putters feature a slightly stiffer shaft that complements the 15-gram heavier head weights and maintains flex properties that preserve the feel of the clubhead. The Phantom 5 OC Spec III’s SCS insert and Phantom 11R OC Spec III’s full-face chain-link milling pattern provide a familiar soft feel off the face at impact, and a tapered mid-size Matador grip offers a comfortable connection to the stroke through the hands.
