Scotty Cameron introduces two new Onset Center putters

Scotty Cameron has unveiled two new OC (Onset Center) putters – the Phantom 11R OC and Studio Style Fastback OC

The putters combine low-torque performance with exceptional feel and feedback, in design to promote a square-to-the-path delivery while keeping golfers connected to the putting stroke.

“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 setup bids to minimiz torque and simplifythe putting stroke.

“In the last few years, we’ve seen a growing number of golfers who want to minimize the feel of face rotation in the stroke via putter setup. And as a designer, what excites me most about OC is that it gives golfers options. We now have an entirely new configuration for golfers who want to feel a square, straight-back-and-through path.” – Austie Rollinson, Scotty Cameron’s Senior Director of Putter R&D

Phantom 11R OC

The new Phantom 11R OC is built off the Phantom 11 platform, a stable, high-MOI multi-material mallet design. The tour-inspired 11R shape features softer, more rounded edges than the Phantom 11 head, and the new model features a full chain-link milled face.

The 11R has a single alignment line, which extends back to the shaft placement.

Studio Style Fastback OC

The new Studio Style Fastback OC model shares the footprint of the 2025 Fastback model, a ring-weighted mid-mallet design with high-contrast alignment.

Like all Fastback offerings in the Studio Style family, the new Fastback OC is constructed from 303 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft aluminum, and it features a Studio Carbon Steel face insert with a chain-link milling pattern for better feel and roll performance. A single sight line delivers a clean, simple alignment cue at address.

Key Technologies:

Low-torque design: Scotty Cameron OC putters feature shaft placement set back from the leading edge (Onset) and in line with the putter head’s front-to-back CG (Center). This minimizes torque and creates a square feel for golfers looking to eliminate face rotation.

Traditional feel and feedback: The Phantom 11R OC model features Scotty Cameron’s chain-link face milling design across the face, while the Fastback OC model features the Studio Style lineup’s Studio Carbon Steel (SCS) face insert, also with chain-link face milling. Both designs dial in feel by softening sound while preserving feedback, which is essential in identifying strike location — especially in low-torque setups.
Minimal shaft lean: OC putters feature one degree of shaft lean, promoting a neutral setup and a natural hand position familiar to many of the best putters in the game. The subtle shaft lean also delivers unimpeded topline views at address.

Loft and lie customization: Adjusting the loft and lie angle on OC putters does not compromise low-torque performance, allowing golfers to make spec changes as needed.
Heavier head weight, custom shaft and grip: New OC models offer connection to the putting stroke through 15-gram heavier head weights (compared to standard Scotty Cameron models) and a custom black shaft with flex properties designed to match the weight increase without dulling feel. OC putters are also equipped with a tapered Matador Mid grip.

The new Scotty Cameron OC putter models will be in golf shops worldwide on Friday, November 14, and cost $549 per putter.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
jgrzask: “Tommy Armour 845u
