Zero torque putters have dominated the discourse in golf equipment over the past couple of years with demand on tour rising and the benefits seemingly suggesting all types of player could hole more putts by using one. So what exactly is a zero torque putter and how will the help golfers on the greens?
The premise of a zero torque putter is a relatively simple one. Essentially it is a design that allows the face of the putter to stay square relative to the path of your stroke rather than the natural opening and closing of the face traditional putters tend to encourage. This is achieved by the shaft axis running directly through the center of gravity (CG) in the head of the putter, therefore reducing the amount of twisting and helping you return the putter face square through impact more easily.
