Zero-torque putters have been the big putter trend of the last two years. They are built so the face resists rotating during the stroke, and many of them look odd at address. Evnroll's new EZPZ tries to keep the benefit without the strangeness.
What "reverse torque" means
A zero-torque putter points the shaft at the center of gravity. Designer Guerin Rife went a different way: the EZPZ uses a traditional plumber's neck, angled towards the toe, with 60% of the mass below the shaft axis. The idea is to slow the face's rotation through impact rather than stop it, so the stroke still feels natural.
Evnroll says the face stays square to the target for twice as long as normal. That's the company's figure, not an independent test.
- Price $450
- In shops August 15
- Lengths 33, 34, 35 and 38 inches (the 38 with a 17-inch grip)
- Face Evnroll's grooved face, for more even roll on mis-hits
Who it's for
Golfers who liked the idea of a zero-torque putter but couldn't get used to the look or feel. The EZPZ is still an oversized mallet, but it sits behind the ball like a putter you'd recognize.
The verdict
Worth a try if you miss short ones.
If your misses from inside ten feet start offline, a putter that resists face rotation might help. Try it against your own putter on the same putts before spending $450.
