Best Zero Torque Putters (Most Stable Low Torque Models Reviewed)

Zero torque putters are the newest craze when it comes to golf equipment, but which are the best? Are they more forgiving? And do they help you hole more putts?

Prior to 2025, many would have considered zero torque to be something associated with power tools or the like. But now golfers know it to be super forgiving putters.

Mainstream manufacturers Odyssey, Scotty Cameron and TaylorMade have joined the initial ground breakers L.A.B. Golf and putter specialists Betinnardi and Evnroll in launching zero torque putter models.

But which of the anti-twist mallets ranks top? Which are the best zero torque putters for your handicap? And what are the benefits of adding them to the bag?

1. Odyssey Ai-ONE Square 2 Square

Odyssey’s Ai-ONE Square 2 Square series, including models like the Jailbird, #7 and Double Wide and features a center-shafted design with a forward press to promote a square face at impact.

The putters incorporate Ai-One smart face technology for improved distance control and a stroke-balanced design that minimizes face rotation.

The putters are extremely easy to align and effective in maintaining a square face throughout the stroke, leading to increased confidence and consistency on the greens. ​

Odyssey have also introduced the Max and Max Stripe putters, which are very similar in design the L.A.B. DF 2.1 model.

2. L.A.B. Golf DF 2.1

The L.A.B. Golf DF 2.1 is a standout in the zero torque category, utilizing Lie Angle Balance (L.A.B.) technology to maintain a square face throughout the stroke.

Its distinctive design, featuring a large mallet head CNC milled from 6061 aircraft aluminum, may appear unconventional but delivers exceptional stability and forgiveness.

This putter has gained traction on professional tours, with players like Richard Bland achieving significant victories using it.

Improved consistency, particularly on putts within 10 feet, is provided by the DF 2.1 with the putter’s ability to reduce torque and promote a smoother stroke the big factor in its popularity.

3. Scotty Cameron OC Low Torque

The Scotty Cameron OC Low Torque putters introduce the leading brand’s first design focused on minimizing torque during the putting stroke.

They have achieved this by positioning the shaft set back from the leading edge and directly in line with the putter head’s center of gravity in a configuration known as the Onset Center (OC).

It is Scotty Cameron’s first move into the sector to reduce face rotation and promotes a square feel, with the Phantom 11R mallet and Fastback mid-mallet featuring heavier head weights than their standard designs.

4. Odyssey Square 2 Square Tri-Hot

The Odyssey S2S Tri-Hot putter line are the brand’s second zero torque range, bringing together the Square 2 Square technology with the feel of the Tri-Hot face.

An innovative multi-material construction uses aluminum, steel and over 140 grams of tungsten to shift the center of gravity dramatically forward, with more than 80% of the putter’s weight directly beneath the topline.

The series includes various models including the Seven, Rossie, Jailbird and Jailbird Cruiser, all with an AI-designed dual-layer urethane Ai-DUAL face for very good feel to accompany the stability of the S2S technology.

5. TaylorMade Spider ZT

The Taylormade Spider ZT putter is a groundbreaking addition to the Spider Tour family, introducing zero torque technology with reduced face rotation and improved consistency on the greens.

Featuring a high MOI (moment of inertia) head crafted from multi-material construction, the ZT positions its shaft axis directly in line with the center of gravity – 25mm behind the face.

The design helps minimize twisting during the stroke, keeping the face square throughout impact and promoting a controlled repeatable roll.

6. Bettinardi Antidote Putters

The SB1 blade and SB2 mallet are the two models in the Bettinardi Antidote series, which is the first zero torque models from the brand.

The putters feature Bettinardi’s Simply Balanced technology that ensures the face remains square throughout the stroke for maximum control and consistency on the greens.​

The SB1 has a classic wide-bodied blade design with curved bumpers and a thick topline and a precision-milled body made from 303 Stainless Steel for premium feedback and control.

The SB2 reverses material roles with a 6061 aluminum body paired with a 303 stainless steel face insert.

Bettinardi’s F.I.T. face milling technology removes 55% of the face material for a softer feel at impact without sacrificing responsiveness.

7. Evnroll ZERO Z5s

The Evnroll ZERO Z5s combines traditional aesthetics with zero torque performance with FaceForward Technology aligning the shaft through the center of gravity and reducing face rotation during the stroke.

The putter is 100% milled from 303 stainless steel and incorporates Evnroll’s SweetFace technology, which ensures consistent ball speeds across the face.

This model offers exception stability, particularly on longer putts, and alignment aids which include a central alignment scheme with two dots and a cavity sight line. ​

8. PXG Allan

The PXG Allan putter also features Zero Torque Balance Technology, aligning the shaft axis just above the center of gravity to minimize torque during the stroke.

This design results in a “toe-up” toe hang, aiding in keeping the putter face square to the target line.

The putter also features a modern mallet aesthetic with a unique neck position, contributing to its stability and balance.

It is noted its consistent performance even on off-center strikes, as well as a soft yet responsive feel at impact. ​
