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
