PXG launches Hellcat ZT putter, bringing zero torque tech to blade fans
PXG's Hellcat ZT putter brings Zero Torque tech to a blade design with classic looks and added stability. Gear: PXG Hellcat ZT putter Price: $249.99 Specs: Metal injection molded 303 stainless head, Pyramid Face Pattern, 4-degrees of loft with built-in 1-degree forward press. Available: Now on PXG Retail Stores, and through PXG master fitters Who it's for: Golfers who prefer a classic blade-style putter and want enhanced stability, consistency, and face control offered by zero-torque designs. What you need to know: PXG's Hellcat ZT brings zero torque technology to a traditional blade design at the most accessible price yet in PXG's premium putter lineup. The Deep Dive: PXG's putter lineup has been evolving steadily over the past year, driven largely by the company's proprietary zero torque offerings that aim to simplify the putting stroke. The Allan and the Bat Attack ZT keep the face square without manipulation. Now, with the release of the PXG Hellcat ZT, PXG is bringing that tech to a classic blade-style head at a price point that's more in line with mass-market offerings than premium, boutique clubs. If you've followed PXG's ZT journey, you know it started with the Allan ZT, a mid-mallet that debuted last summer, combining clean looks with that same anti-torque benefit for players who prefer a more compact head. Then came the Bat Attack ZT, a re-engineered mallet inspired by one of PXG's most distinctive head shapes. Now, the Hellcat ZT, a blade, completes the trifecta, delivering the same tech in a shape favored by players who value simplicity and a more traditional look. Precision milled from 303 stainless steel using a Metal Injection Molding (MIM) process, the Hellcat ZT offers a streamlined aesthetic, clean lines, and no adjustable weights to fuss with. The Pyramid Face Pattern — a staple of PXG putters — provides a consistent roll and feel across the face. According to PXG, the pyramids normalize ball speed across the face, so mis-hits roll out straight and nearly as far as well-struck putts, for enhanced distance control. PXG's S-hosel design gives the club toe-up balance, enhancing stability and reducing twisting. This is the same patented hosel approach that PXG employed in the Bat Attack ZT and Allan ZT models. One of the subtle engineering details in the Hellcat ZT is the built-in forward press. While the putter is measured at 4 degrees of loft, the forward press effect effectively reduces that to a playing loft of 3 degrees, which can help produce a smoother roll without the golfer having to make a deliberate forward-pressing motion during the stroke. The Hellcat ZT comes standard with a 34-inch chrome shaft and PXG's Slant 1.5 grip, but like other PXG products, it's available for custom fitting to match individual needs. Right- and left-handed options are offered. For those who've wanted to experiment with torque-reducing technology without committing to a mallet or mid-mallet — or the higher prices typically associated with PXG — the Hellcat ZT could be the gateway. And with the Hellcat joining the Allan and Bat Attack, PXG has quietly built a comprehensive ZT putter lineup that covers all head shapes.

Paint it Black: PXG releases all-black Allan ZT putter
Gear: PXG Allan ZT Double Black putter Price: $399 Specs: Hollow-bodied with polymer-filled chamber and steel/graphite shaftWho it's for: Players who love a blade-style putter but want more forgiveness, more stability and less glareWhat you should know: PXG's popular Allan ZT putter is now available in an all-black version that's built to stay square through impact and help players roll the ball more consistently—no matter their stroke typeThe Deep Dive: If you ever have a chance to meet Bob Parsons, the founder of PXG, there's a good chance he'll be dressed in all black. It's his style, and in keeping with that style, his golf equipment company has created limited-edition all-black versions of many of its irons, wedges and putters. You can now add the Allan ZT putter, which was originally released last August, to the list. Advertisement Named after Parsons' brother, the Allan ZT Double Black continues to lean into performance-focused putter design. The heart of this mallet-style putter remains its zero-torque balance, which is achieved by having the shaft axis directly above the center of gravity. That minimizes face rotation and helps golfers deliver the face square to the ball on the downswing more consistently—regardless of whether they have a straight, slight arc, or strongly-arced stroke. Like its silver predecessor, the Allan ZT Double Black includes PXG's Pyramid Face Pattern to enhance roll consistency, along with a pair of weights in the heel and toe area of the sole that give fitters a chance to adjust the swing weight based on the finished club's length or a player's preference. And yes, the popular "Pick Up Pocket" found in the sole of the original Allan ZT putter, is also found in the Double Black version, allowing golfers to retrieve a ball easily off the green without bending over. PXG injects S Cor polymer inside the head of the PXG Allan ZT Double Black to enhance sound and feel. The face is extremely thin (0.55 inches), and behind it, inside a hollow chamber in the head, PXG designers have injected the company's proprietary S COR polymer. It is the same polymer found in many of the brand's hollow-body irons, and the soft material reduces vibration and enhances all comes stock with PXG's M16 Stability Shaft, which adds torsional stiffness and helps with distance control, especially on longer PXG's larger Bat Attack ZT mallet continues to draw interest from players who like a high-MOI look, the Double Black Allan ZT fills a very different lane — a traditional mallet that's packed with modern engineering and wrapped in a blackout finish. If you want sleek, techy and square through the stroke, this one might be worth a look. This article originally appeared on Golfweek: PXG Allan ZT Double Black Putter zero torque mallet: Price, specs
