Best Zero Torque Putters 2026: Top 5 Ranked by PGA Pros

★ #1 Top Pick★★★★★

Best overall: Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Jailbird Putter

Mallet putter · Centre shaft · 360g head · 3° loft

The Jailbird takes the Square 2 Square zero torque platform and adds high-contrast striping that makes a square face easy to see. It suits golfers who want stability and strong alignment cues in one head.

The Jailbird is our top pick because it gets the basics of zero torque putters right at a fair price. The shaft sits just under the centre of gravity, so the head rests toe up and the face stays square to the path without help from your hands. A built-in 2-degree forward press also encourages a clean, forward roll.

At address, the black-and-white striping is the star. It makes it easy to see whether the face is aimed where you intend, which helps if you tend to open or close the putter at set-up. The Ai-DUAL insert uses two layers of urethane for consistent ball speed and a soft feel. Lengths of 33, 34 and 35 inches are available in right- and left-hand.

#2 · Best classic shape★★★★☆

Best classic shape: Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square #7 Golf Putter

Mallet putter · Centre shaft · 360g head · 3° loft

The #7 shape has been a favourite for years, and here it gets the zero torque treatment. If you like the framing effect of the wings but struggle to keep the face square, this is the way in.

Odyssey pitches this model at golfers who love the wings of the #7 but struggle with face rotation, and the idea holds up. The silhouette is familiar, yet the toe-up balance resists twisting. The result feels stable and a little mechanical, which many golfers find reassuring on shorter putts.

Spec-wise, it shares the Jailbird’s 360g head, 3-degree loft, 70-degree lie and Stroke Lab 120 shaft, and it carries the same Ai-DUAL insert. The difference is the look, so choose based on what you prefer. This model is listed for right-hand golfers only, so left-handers should look at the Jailbird or the TaylorMade option.

#3 · Best high MOI★★★★☆

Best high MOI: TaylorMade Spider ZT Max Golf Putter

Mallet putter · Centre shaft · 379g head · 3.5° loft

TaylorMade wraps an aluminium body in four steel and tungsten corner weights for very high MOI. It is the pick for golfers who want maximum stability and a milled, premium feel.

The Spider ZT Max is built around an aerospace-grade aluminium body framed by four heavy steel and tungsten corner weights. That perimeter weighting maximises MOI, so mishits lose less speed and the face resists twisting. TaylorMade bores the KBS shaft towards the toe near the centre of the head to achieve a stable, toe-up balance.

Milled True Path alignment lines are cut to the width of a golf ball, which helps you index the centre of the face. The Pure Roll insert, made from Surlyn and aluminium, is designed for a soft feel and good forward roll. With a 3.5-degree loft, a 70-degree lie, and a SuperStroke 2-degree Off-Axis grip, it also comes in both left- and right-hand versions.

#4 · Best premium build★★★★☆

Best premium build: Odyssey Tri-Hot Square 2 Square #7 Golf Putter

Mallet putter · Multi-material · 365g head · Topline shaft entry

The Tri-Hot adds a multi-material build with over 140 grams of tungsten to the #7 shape. It is the most refined way to get zero torque stability with a conventional look at address.

The Tri-Hot gives the #7 shape a premium build, using aluminium, steel and more than 140 grams of tungsten. Moving the centre of gravity forward lets Odyssey place the hosel on the topline, which gives a more natural set-up than most zero torque putters.

Forward Roll Design grooves are intended to help the ball roll forward sooner, and the Ai-DUAL insert pairs a soft front layer with a firmer backing for feel and distance control. The head weighs 365g, the standard Black SL120 shaft pairs with a mid-sized Pistol grip, and lengths are 33, 34 and 35 inches in right-hand only.

#5 · Best long putter★★★★☆

Best long putter: Odyssey Ai-Dual Square 2 Square Max Half Ball Broomstick Putter

Long putter · 48 inch shaft · 500g head · Half ball alignment

A 48-inch broomstick with a 500g head and a half-ball alignment aid. It is the most stable platform in this guide for golfers who prefer an upright, vertical stroke.

Broomstick putters suit golfers who want to take the wrists out of the stroke, and a zero torque design supports that goal. The shaft is centred just below the centre of gravity, so the head resists rotating, and you can simply rock the putter. A 500g head and 48-inch shaft give the steadiest feel here.

The Half Ball alignment helps with aim, while the Ai-DUAL insert provides a soft feel and consistent speed. Under the Rules of Golf, you cannot anchor a long putter against your body, so practise holding it clear before you play competitively.

Zero torque putters are designed so the head does not twist in your hands.

The shaft enters at or near the centre of gravity, so the putter rests toe up and the face stays square to the path with less effort. That reduces face rotation, one cause of pushed and pulled putts, although it does not replace a good read or sound speed control.

They can help golfers whose face control wobbles under pressure.

Because the face resists opening and closing, many golfers start short putts on the intended line more often. You still need to read the green and control pace, and some golfers need a few rounds to adjust to the feel.

Odyssey and TaylorMade design their putters to conform to the Rules of Golf.

If you play competitively, check current guidance from the governing body, linked at the foot of this guide. This matters most with long putters, which cannot be anchored against the body during a stroke, and with any unusual design you have not used before.

Most golfers need 33, 34 or 35 inches.

Stand naturally with your eyes over the ball and your arms hanging relaxed. If you stoop to reach the grip, go shorter; if you stand too upright, go longer. Our PGA professional team can advise by phone if you are between sizes.

Not necessarily, because the right putter matches your stroke.

Golfers with a strong arcing stroke may prefer a traditional toe hang design. Golfers who want a straighter, quieter stroke often prefer a zero torque putter. Our 60-Day Returns Policy lets you test one on your own greens.

Usually yes, but check how the grip feels with the new balance.

Many golfers keep a familiar shape, and thicker putter grips can further quieten the hands. You can browse putter grips from SuperStroke and Golf Pride in our accessories range if you want to experiment, and our PGA team can suggest a size.
