Zero-torque putters: understanding the design before choosing
What lie-angle balance means, and what to check when comparing putters.
Editorial correction — 5 October 2026: factual errors and unsupported claims in the earlier version have been corrected. The original publication date is retained.
Zero-torque designs aim to reduce the head’s tendency to twist during the stroke. L.A.B. describes its DF3 as lie-angle balanced and offers fitting choices for length and lie.
A label does not establish which putter will suit an individual player. Compare alignment, feel, distance control and fitting options during a trial. Check current specifications and prices with the manufacturer.
This is a design guide, not a ranking based on HappyGolfDays equipment testing. The earlier version’s survey figures and claimed performance gains were unsupported and have been removed.
