Phantom 5 OC Spec III gives our compact wingback mallet its finest expression yet. Cloaked in black from grip to sole, the design fades into darkness, leaving nothing to catch your eye but three high-contrast sightlines. Built around Scotty Cameron’s Onset-Center (OC) configuration, specifically the Phantom 5 OC, it’s engineered to resist twisting throughout the stroke and help deliver your putter where you aimed it. Milled and hand-finished in California, Phantom 5 OC Spec III is a limited release that’s designed to look as good in your bag as it does behind the ball.
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.
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.
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.
