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.
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.

Designed To Roll True
Hot Rod ZT is engineered with 6° of measured loft but plays like a standard 3° putter thanks to an integrated 3° forward press.

PXG Slant Putter Grips
Designed with a 1.5° slant, PXG Slant grips help move the hands into a natural playing position for zero-torque putters, supporting a stable, repeatable stroke.
Slant Pistol Traditional pistol profile with a smaller, tapered feel Ideal for players who prefer a more compact grip on a zero-torque style putter
Slant Pistol Mid Larger pistol profile with a fuller, tapered shape Ideal for players who prefer added size and stability without sacrificing feel
Slant 1.5 Flatter, non-tapered rectangular profile Ideal for players who prefer a non-tapered grip that accommodates a variety of grip styles on a zero-torque style putter
