PXG launches new Zero Torque Balance putter

PXG has just launched the brand new Allan putter that is much different than any previous putter the company has made.

The goal was to create a putter that combined Zero Torque Balance Technology and high MOI to help golfers make more putts. Bob Parsons was so impressed with the putter that he named it after his late younger brother.

“It is so fun and easy to hit; it feels like magic. In fact, I am so impressed with how well the technology works that I named the putter for my little brother Allan. He was a hell of a golfer, and I know he would have loved it.”

The first question you are probably thinking is what is Zero Torque Balance Technology? PXG engineered and patented ZTB to remove the twisting forces that work against a player’s grip during the putter stroke. This keeps the putter face pointed towards the target through the entire stroke and doesn’t require the golfer to square the putter at impact.

PXG claims that this works for all swing types, with a large arc or a straight back straight through stroke. A new S hosel creates a shaft axis that is just above the center of gravity for that toe-up balancing. This means that when you set the putter on a table or hold it without any force, the toe of the putter will point straight up in the air. Most traditional putter designs will have a face that points straight up or a toe that points down towards the ground.

Like most of the recent Battle Ready II putters, the Allan uses PXG’s hollow body S COR technology as well. This removes material from behind the face, filling the void with lightweight S COR polymer, and moving it to the perimeter of the head. Using S COR also allows PXG to reduce harsh vibration and dial in the sound for a soft and solid feeling putter.

The Allan putter has golf’s thinnest face at 0.055″ and the Pyramid Face Pattern to ensure consistent roll and ball speed no matter where you make contact on the face.

The putter head has a very traditional mallet shape from address that some golfers might prefer over competitors that use a similar toe-up balance. Constructed from multiple pieces, PXG made the top siteline contrasting silver to further help with alignment.

A unique ball retriever is built into the sole so you can easily pick a ball off the green without bending over. PXG’s Precision Weighting system is also built in, so your fitter can dial in the perfect head weight.

The new PXG Allan putter is available now on PXG’s website or in any of their fitting locations all over the country. Many grip options are available as is the PXG M16 putter shaft for an additional upcharge. The Allan putter is offered in right- or left-handed and starts at $449.99.

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
