Thank you for the post. I am considering the OC. What do you like better about it? How do you feel it lines up? I am getting a mallet SC and not sure which one to buy yet...

I like the set up, for me I am used to forward pressing, and when I do that with this putter it just lines up well for my eye line and strike. I love the fact that the face works for both fast and medium speed greens. Hope this help!

Hey Doug,

I went through the same decision recently — debating between a LAB (true zero torque) and the 11R OC (almost zero torque). The 11R OC is basically built for a straight‑back, straight‑through stroke, so it really comes down to what your actual path looks like. If you don’t naturally have that neutral, pendulum‑type motion, it might not be a perfect match… but it’s still worth rolling a few if that’s the direction you want to move your stroke.

What pushed me toward center‑shafted in general was the symmetry at address, the added stability, and how much it cleaned up my directional misses. The head just doesn’t wander.

I ended up choosing the Scotty over the LAB mostly because of feel. The weight difference is small, but the Scotty felt more natural in my hands and a bit more refined — maybe that’s just me. And honestly, it’s not often you can say the Scotty is the cheaper option.

A downside: I wish the Custom Shop had more options… even though I’ll probably never use them anyway.
