Zero Torque. Clutch Performance.

The PXG Hot Rod ZT is a center-shafted mallet putter engineered with a true Zero Torque Design to keep the face square to the path throughout the entire putting stroke. By positioning the center of gravity (CG) just below the shaft axis, Hot Rod ZT minimizes twisting forces that cause the face to open or close, delivering exceptional stability with minimal golfer manipulation.

Precision-milled from 6061 aluminum with a black anodized finish, Hot Rod ZT features four interchangeable sole weights and concealed high-density tungsten to boost MOI and forgiveness. PXG’s Pyramid Milled Face Pattern enhances roll consistency while delivering the soft sound of an insert with the responsive feel of a solid milled putter.

Technology That Performs

Zero Torque Design

With the CG positioned just below the shaft axis, Hot Rod ZT generates virtually no torque during the stroke. This design keeps the face square to the path with little to no external force, ideal for golfers who struggle with face control.

Onset Hosel

The onset hosel directs the shaft axis just above the CG, creating a toe-up balance point that resists twisting. The integrated forward press promotes a natural setup and consistent loft delivery.

Materials & Construction

A CNC-milled 6061 aluminum body allows precise mass redistribution, while concealed high-density tungsten beneath the sole weight ports increases MOI for enhanced stability and forgiveness.

Pyramid Milled Face Pattern

More aggressive milling optimizes interaction with the golf ball’s dimples to improve roll characteristics, delivering a soft sound with the feedback of a solid milled face.

Hot Rod Putter Tech Adjustable Weighting

Adjustable Weighting System

Four interchangeable sole weights allow golfers to fine-tune head weight to match stroke tendencies and preferences, with a wide adjustment range supported by tungsten-boosted MOI.

Reviews

Best Putter I Have Owner

"At 67 and sort of retiring I am playing a little more golf. Before this putter I was a 12.4 GHIN, now a 9.3 and starting to shoot consistently in the low 80’s and high 70’s. Obviously not all due to the putter but a lot is. The way the ball comes off the putter face is so smooth, no matter what type ball you hit and I say that because I have been experimenting with different balls to match my decreased swing speed. All putt great with this putter. The center shaft helps. You will make more putts."

— John G. (5/5)
