Best Zero Torque Golf Putters: 2025 Review

With an MOI of over 6,300, the new Odyssey Square 2 Square Max putter is the most stable offerings in the Square 2 Square range.   
There are two options available in the Max range. The Max features a simple sight line, while the Max Stripe features Odyssey’s bold Versa 90 alignment to help you aim and give you clear visuals.   
The Ai-One insert is designed using artificial intelligence to help with mishits and get you closer to the hole. The urethane insert gives you that white hot feel and consistent roll that screams classic Odyssey. 
The balance of the centre of gravity in this putter is what helps you to keep the face square throughout your stroke. This results in putters that sit with the toe-up, in a reverse torque position.  
Where the shaft is positioned, it has 3.3° of forward shaft lean to help pre-set the hands in a forward press position, eliminating the opening of the face.   
The SL 90/140 and 180 shafts are different shafts for different configurations, providing the proper weight and balance to complement the different head weights and lengths that are offered.  

Think of zero torque putters, and you'll probably think of L.A.B. Golf. The Mezz and DF3 models have really stood out with their eye-catching and untraditional designs and with tour players playing them, including the likes of Adam Scott, they have become popular not just with golf nerds, but with the best in the world. 
 
L.A.B. Golf stands for Lie Angle Balance, which is what makes the likes of the DF3 and L.A.B. putters interesting. What this does is creates zero torque in the putter delivering a square face back and through, eliminating any rotation or twisting in the putter head. This makes putting seem extremely easy with a straight-back and straight-through square face allowing you to hit straighter putts even on mishits. Even if you miss the centre of the face, you're still going to get the ball rolling towards the target. 
 
Looks wise, this putter might not win any prizes, but in terms of performance, the most important factor, it's tough to beat. 

As we’ve seen in the PXG Allan putter, PXG's S-hosel construction helps golfers to position the shaft axis just above the centre of gravity. This eliminates torque in the stroke, so your putter face will stay square to your target. This comes with two degrees of forward press, which naturally places the golfer’s hands in the optimal position at address, encouraging a smoother and more consistent stroke. 
Inside the putter, there’s a hollow body construction that aims to dramatically increase the moment of inertia created. A 303 stainless steel construction, injected with PXG’s proprietary S COR Polymer, allows the internal mass of the putter to be redistributed to the extreme perimeter of the clubhead. 
This putter also features an ultra-thin face, which minimises vibrations and creates a refined, insert-like sound on contact, without sacrificing the crisp feel of a milled putter. 
The Pyramid Face Pattern further enhances the roll characteristics of the club. There is aggressive milling and optimised pyramid density, which interacts with the golf ball’s dimples to produce true and consistent roll and a satisfying sound at impact. 

The new TaylorMade Spider ZT is TaylorMade’s first zero torque putter, but it’s also the most stable Spider model in TaylorMade's flagship putter range. 
It has a stainless-steel face and aluminium body and a lot of perimeter weighting to give you the most stability possible through your putting stroke. 
With 5K MOI the Spider ZT is not only designed for stability and forgiveness but keeping the face square throughout the stroke. With only one degree of onset, compared to around three degrees that you see in other brands it’s not as aggressive and angled.  
Instead of more an angled or aggressive shaft angle, TaylorMade engineers have used triangulated weights to create their toe-up design.  
The TSS weighting on the sole triangulates the centre of gravity for a toe-up design. 
A milled Pure Roll insert delivers the consistency, feel and distance control and with the high MOI.
Overall, this is an option that will appeal to players looking for forgiveness, better consistency and square face throughout the stroke.
