Best Zero Torque Putters 2025: All the models that could transform your game on the greens

Very few advancements in golf technology have generated as much buzz in recent years as the arrival of the zero torque putter.

The new category of putter is being heralded by many as a complete game-changer, helping golfers from the most inconsistent of amateurs through to seasoned tour pros transform their fortunes on the greens. To do so, in simple terms, they use a unique combination of weighting and balance to eliminate twisting and promote a squarer face throughout the entire stroke, theoretically meaning more accuracy, more consistency, less pushes and pulls from short range, and at the end of the day, more holed putts.

Whether or not you prescribe to the theory that the zero torque revolution is a genuine game changer or a fad is down to you. But with both legacy brands and disruptive new manufacturers alike pouring millions into developing and marketing zero torque putters, it's now concrete that zero torque putters are here to stay.

But which are the best you can buy? GolfMagic has spent the past year taking some of the best putters packed with zero torque technology out onto the course, and inside our local putting studio, to find out which models deliver the feel, roll and accuracy promised on the advertising poster.

Of course, it only feels natural that we start with the putter that almost single-handedly started the zero torque craze, and still sets the benchmark for zero torque putters in 2025.

L.A.B. Golf DF3

Price: £549

Pros:

• Maybe the most forgiving putter on sale
• Hugely confidence-inspiring, great customisable options

Cons:

• Unconventional shape might be offputting
• As expensive as putters come

L.A.B. Golf's DF3 will likely go down as one of the most important putters of its generation, having turned heads with its distinctive look and gone on to really start the zero torque craze that's become so popular today.

And while L.A.B. have since expanded their range to include plenty of other models, the DF3 still remains the most tried and tested zero torque model on the market. With both Rickie Fowler and J.J. Spaun gaming one despite having no formal agreement with the brand, it stands to reason it must be a pretty special piece of kit.

It's unmatched in terms of forgiveness, and once you get used to putting with a zero torque putter, will do wonders to your confidence when putting. If putting has long been a weakness in your game, the DF3 may well turn it into a strength.

The DF3 is honestly a putting saviour. This thing could almost instantly improve the putting of golfers of all abilities. It may look a little funky, but trust us, it will make you hole more putts, and despite the ample price tag, will prove a far smarter investment than any driver of a similar price.

The best zero torque mallet putters

TaylorMade Spider 5K ZT

Price: £449

Pros:

• Striking modern design with subtle detailing
• Excellent performance on short putts
• Consistent strike across the face

Cons:

• Toe-up design might not be for everyone

TaylorMade's Spider Putter revolutionised the market for conventional putters, and true to form, its first zero torque variant is a standout debut addition to the category. It looks absolutely incredible with its moden, bright blue colour scheme, and thanks to its, intelligent design, and lighter weight,  delivers both style and substance.

As with most ZT putters, the Spider 5K ZT excels on short putts, holds up on longer ones, and feels great in the hands.

The feel might be firmer than some expect, particularly compared to the standard Spider, and the toe-up design may split opinion, but overall, this is one of the most complete and enjoyable mallet putters we've tested in the category so far

If you’ve ever been tempted by zero torque putters but felt put off by their weight or robotic feel, the Spider ZT is absolutely worth a look. It’s packed with subtle but meaningful innovations, from the CG placement to the material choice, and it’s refreshingly user-friendly.

Odyssey Ai-ONE Square 2 Square

Price: £289-£369

Pros:

• Incredibly well-balanced and stable
• Forgiving across the face
• Clean, confidence-inspiring alignment
• Rolls true from any length

Cons:

• Lacks the option of a milled face

Odyssey have leapt wholeheartedly into the zero torque market over the past 18 months, delivering not just a couple of ZT models, but an entire range containing almost a dozen different head shapes and finishes.

The ones we've tested so far are among the the most complete and confidence-inspiring putters we've tested this season, combining Odyssey's signature tech-forward with class-leading stability and forgiveness, delivering true roll from all parts of the face. 

All of this comes packaged, of course, in a selection of the classic mallet shapes Odyssey loyalists know and love, including the Jailbird, #7 mallet and the Square Max—as well as some bladed options.

The high contrast design on each Ai-ONE putter makes makes alignment effortless, and its zero torque design promotes the kind of consistency most golfers chase for years. For those willing to invest in quality, this is simply one of the best options available in 2025, and with prices starting at around £249, they also represent outstanding value in the category.

Odyssey has absolutely nailed the brief here.

PXG Bat Attack ZT

Price: £429

Pros:

• Incredibly forgiving
• Very easy to line up
• Produces a smooth and consistent roll

Cons:

• Unusual look at address may take some getting used to

PXG's Bat Attack ZT is one of two additions to what's now a trio of excellent zero torque putters from the American company, affording that much-desired zero torque performance to one of PXG's most trusted mallet silhouettes.

The Bat Attack ZT's milled steel body conceals a hollow internal chamber fitted with a proprietary polymer insert. The result is incredible feel and consistency, with a buttery soft sensation.

In terms of its zero torque credentials, the PXG is every bit as effective as its splashier rivals in helping you claw back some confidence with the putter. It's smooth, stable, and endlessly forgiving on shorter putts. We also found it among the best zero torque putters we've tested in terms of long range consistency and distance control.

While the unique S-neck hozel takes a little bit of getting used to at address, the PXG now has three seriously solid zero torque options to choose from, and given its classic profile, the Bat Attack might just be our favourite of the three.

L.A.B. Golf OZ.1

Price: £549

Pros:

• Incredibly stable on short putts
• Modern, minimalist, premium design
• Shaft lean and press grip aid topspin roll

Cons:

• Lacks feel and adaptability on long-range putts
• Struggles off the fringe and from longer grass
• Expensive—especially for amateur players

Developed in conjunction with famed putter connoisseur Adam Scott, L.A.B. Golf's OZ.1 is a slightly more conventional-looking zero torque mallet putter, which might win over ZT-curious golfers who just can't get around the DF3's unconventional looks.

The OZ.1 looks incredibly slick, and in the same vein as the DF3, feels extremely premium and genuinely improves short-range consistency.

We tested out an all-black model, and it’s as stealthy and clean as they come—shaft, head, and grip are completely colour matched. L.A.B's suite of customisation options also applies to the OZ.1, however we wouldn't begrudge anyone buying the stock option either.

The key differentiator of the OZ.1 is the bevy of weights that sit on the bottom of the club head, which are there to optimise CG and provide complete balance throughout the stroke. Despite the solid half-moon milled body that surrounds it, the OZ is also the first L.A.B. model to use an insert rather than a simple milled face, softening the feel somewhat and providing a more cushioned sensation behind the ball.

The different feel imparted by the OZ.1 takes a little more getting used to, and we found it slightly more inconsistent than the DF3 in terms of getting a handle on long range putts. But given that zero torque putters have to fight harder to compensate for the natural variation of longer swings, this could come down as much to the user as the putter.

On the whole, however, the OZ.1 is a fantastic option for golfers who want the L.A.B. Golf experience in a more 'normal' package.

PXG Allan ZT

Price: £429

Pros:

• Incredibly forgiving
• Very easy to line up
• Produces a smooth and consistent roll

Cons:

• Unusual look at address may take some getting used to

Much like the L.A.B DF3 previously, the PXG Allan putter is designed to generate zero torque so that the face remains square to target throughout the stroke.

Utilising an S hosel, this putter gives the illusion of a centre shafted putter, whereas in reality the shaft actually enters the head nearer the heel.

Featuring PXG's S-COR polymer injected construction and milled pyramid face pattern, this putter rolls the ball oh so pure.

Thanks to the zero torque design and high MOI shape this putter is incredibly forgiving and out of the toe or heel there is almost no loss in speed or quality of roll.

The single sight line on the modest sized head is ideal for lining up your putts, and on every stroke you are met with a muted sound and feel.

One of the most stable and forgiving putters we've tested in 2025, the Allan is a big step in the right direction for PXG and one you should certainly consider testing if you struggle to maintain a consistent putting stroke.

The best zero torque blade putters

L.A.B Golf Link.1

Price: £539

Pros:

• Feels very soft off the face
• Incredible forgiveness for a blade design
• Excellent custom-fitting options

Cons:

• Incredibly expensive for a blade putter

Just as they started the zero torque putter craze proper, L.A.B. were also the first to bring a ZT blade putter to market in the form of the Link.1, instantly resetting the bar for forgiveness in bladed putters as they did so.

The Link.1 retains all of the performance hallmarks of L.A.B.'s mallet models, with that trademark soft feel, Lie Angle Balance and incredible forgiveness. The cleverly engineered weight inserts help balance the weight beautifully, giving those who prefer a smaller-profile putter a huge boost in user-friendliness. 

We found time and time again that if we had picked the right line and weight, then the clubhead would happily take care of the rest. 

There remains the fact that, at more than £500, this is about as expensive as a blade putter could ever get. But if you're committed to the blade look, this might just be the most forgiving putter you can buy.

PXG Hellcat ZT

Price: £539

Pros:

• Fantastically forgiving for a blade putter
• Great look
• Premium milling provides great feel

Cons:

• Still not quite as forgiving as a mallet

PXG's Hellcat ZT fills a gap in the golf equipment market that, up until now, has gone strangely empty. It's a traditionally styled and milled blade putter, offered at a fairly reasonable price, with the added stability of a zero-torque construction.

While that sounds simple, the Hellcat delivers on what it promises very well. Being a PXG it naturally carries with it a premium air, with a high-quality 303 stainless steel body and PXG's signature pyramid pattern milling on the face. This contributes to a feel that's responsive, poppy and ever-so-slightly soft—well-balanced for a blade option.

The zero torque setup of the Hellcat ZT also offers bags of forgiveness for a bladed putter, meaning if you're used to a blade but want to take on a putters that delivers more consistency than a traditional low-profile putter, this is a great place to start.

Importantly, it's also less than half the price of the L.A.B. above, making it a far more accessible option for the everyday golfer—but one no less premium in its presentation.
