    Preferred Shaft Flex

    Recommendations for players who CONSISTENTLY hit their 7-iron:

    • Ladies: Less than 120 yards.
    • Senior: 120-135 yards.
    • Regular: 135-155 yards. Most common flex.
    • Stiff: 155-175 yards.
    • Extra Stiff: 175 yards or more.

    Beginning golfers who are not in the Ladies or Senior shaft flex category should select Regular Flex Shafts.

    Preferred Shaft Material

    GRAPHITE shafts are vibration-dampening, lightweight options. They produce a softer feel, a higher launch, and more speed for improved distance.

    STEEL shafts are designed to maximize consistency and provide a stable feel for stronger players. Steel shafts are generally heavier than graphite and are available in a variety of weights and stiffness profiles to help optimize your launch conditions.

    Preferred Grip Size

    Measure your hand, crease to finger tip.

    • Undersize: less than 6.5"
    • Standard: 6.5" to 8"
    • Midsize: 8" to 9"
    • Oversize: more than 9"

    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

    Hot Rod Putter Zero Torque Tech

    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.

    Hot Rod Putter Tech Onset Hosel

    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.

    Hot Rod Putter Tech Slider Materials

    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.

    Hot Rod Putter Tech Pyramid Face

    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.

    The journey to zero torque

    "Although the zero Torque, Center shafted Technology seems to be the rage. I never really found one that looked good to my eye. This is the first one that sat down that I didn’t feel like I had to manipulate my body to line it up. Coming from a plumber‘s neck spider type PXG Putter the last 6 years. It’s been a smooth change for alignment and dialing in speed. Not quite sure if the larger grip is for me, but I’m looking forward to finding out. Dom the fitter was great. Thanks Wade"

    PXG fitting session

    "At my recent PXG full bag fitting session, I choose the Hot Rod over the Allan based solely on feel. Both are terrific putters. The Hot Rod is very similar to my TM Spider ZT-5K, so I will have to make a hard decision."
