You might be wondering, with all the Tour players employing “zero torque” putters and OEMs putting new models on the market en masse, is a zero-torque putter right for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just in the past month, Odyssey<\/a> and Bettinardi<\/a> have unveiled new zero torque putter models while L.A.B. Golf<\/a> has added to its stable of “low torque” putters with the release of the OZ.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zero-torque putters initially made their way on the PGA Tour with Adam Scott and Lucas Glover gaming L.A.B. Golf Mezz.1 putters and Justin Rose employing an Axis1 for the last several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While both of those brands have been on the market for more than five years, other manufacturers are now capitalizing on the trend. The zero torque design<\/a> revolves around placing the center of gravity (CG) of the putter directly under the shaft axis, thus keeping the putter square throughout the stroke. This results in a putter that balances with the toe pointed up, rather than down (toe-hang), or parallel to the ground (face-balanced).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
