PXG is once again proving that it doesn’t just build golf clubs—it engineers performance weapons. With the release of the PXG Allan ZT in a sleek new Double Black finish and the all-new Bat Attack ZT, the brand has officially entered the Zero Torque era in style.
And after testing both, I can say that if you’re serious about making more putts, these putters deserve a long, hard look. One had me checking boxes with almost perfect numbers. The other had me second guessing the data and trending towards style-based temptation. Spoiler alert: I still don’t know if I’ve made peace with my decision.
Let’s dive in. But first, the tech.
Zero Torque 101: Why this tech matters
Traditional putters twist. No matter how stable your hands feel or how grooved your stroke is, torque is the sneaky little variable that’s messing with your face angle at impact.
PXG’s Zero Torque (ZT) Balance Technology tackles that issue. By positioning the shaft axis just above the center of gravity using a unique S-hosel design, PXG has found a way to keep the face square through impact, regardless of your stroke type.
It works for straight-back-and-through players, it works for arcing strokes, and it works when you’re under pressure. That means better start lines, more consistent rolls, and fewer lip-outs. AKA: Winning.
The Allan ZT Double Black: Sleek looks, even better control
The PXG Allan ZT Double Black is a modern blade with a sharp new look and even sharper performance. The new matte black finish isn’t just for show; it kills glare and gives the putter a clean look at address.
But don’t let the shape fool you. This isn’t some old-school wand you have to baby through the stroke. Thanks to PXG’s Zero Torque Balance Technology, the Allan ZT stays square through impact with minimal effort. This putter is more than just a pretty face.
Here’s what you’re getting:
-Zero Torque Balance Technology for straighter, more stable strokes
-S COR polymer injection for elite feel and vibration dampening
-A 0.055” ultra-thin face for pure sound and responsive feedback
-PXG’s Pyramid Face Pattern to help launch the ball cleanly and control speed
-Pick Up Pocket™ for ball retrieval without bending over
-The M16 Stability Shaft, which keeps the stroke dialed in from long range
-Built-in Precision Weighting to customize the feel
The moment I picked it up, the Double Black finish had me this close to ignoring the numbers. It’s just that good-looking. And during testing, it more than held its own. Clean feel, consistent roll, great control.
The Bat Attack ZT: Mallet MOI with zero twist
Let’s talk about the PXG Bat Attack ZT, because this isn’t just a remix of a past model; it’s a brand-new beast.
This high-MOI mallet combines Zero Torque Balance Technology with a fan-favorite, angular design that screams stability. It looks aggressive. It feels great. And after testing it, I can confidently say it rolls as nicely as it looks.
The 395g head I tested felt perfectly planted, like it was locked onto the target line from start to finish. Whether I was lagging from downtown or trying to clean up a three-footer, it stayed rock-solid through impact.
Here’s what stands out:
-The ZT tech keeps the face square with minimal effort, so you don’t have to “hold” anything through the stroke.
-The high-MOI shape boosts forgiveness, especially on off-center strikes.
-The Pyramid Face Pattern gives you consistent launch and roll.
-That S COR polymer makes it feel soft without being dead. It provides a pure, responsive strike.
-And the M16 Stability Shaft? Absolute game-changer from outside 10 feet.

I walked into testing expecting to love the Allan, but the Bat Attack ZT stole the show. The shape, the consistency, the sound . . . it all clicked.
Heads up: These putters are built different
A note on fitting: ZT putters aren’t adjustable for loft or lie, so you’ll want to make sure you’re fit properly from the start. But don’t worry, there’s still room to dial in your:
- Head weight
- Length
- Grip preference
It’s not one-size-fits-all . . . it’s one-size-fits-right.
Should you try one? Yeah. You should.
If you’ve been grinding over five-footers and blaming your stroke, maybe it’s time to admit the problem might be hiding in plain sight: your current putter.
PXG’s ZT lineup isn’t just different for the sake of being different. With zero torque and a dialed-in feel, these putters are built to help you roll it tighter, truer, and with far less effort. The Bat Attack ZT is a stability machine, and the Allan ZT Double Black has the kind of look that makes you want to switch bags just to match it.
I tested both, and choosing between the two was tougher than it should’ve been. The Bat Attack won on consistency, but the Allan almost stole the show on style alone.
Bottom line? If you’re still gaming a putter from three trends ago, you’re leaving strokes on the green. It’s time to see what happens when your putter actually helps you.
