The zero torque putter revolution just gained its biggest convert yet. PXG has launched the One & Done ZT, a high-MOI mallet built around the company’s patented onset hosel — and its arrival on July 2, 2026, confirms that zero torque has moved from niche experiment to the hottest category in putting.
What Happened
Announced from PXG’s Scottsdale headquarters, the One & Done ZT is a hollow-body mallet machined from 303 stainless steel and engineered to resist twisting throughout the stroke. The heart of the design is PXG’s onset hosel, which aligns the shaft axis near the head’s center of gravity to create a toe-up balance point — the signature trait of a zero torque putter. An integrated forward press positions the hands naturally at address while preserving effective loft at impact.
The construction details are aggressive even by modern putter standards. The body is injected with PXG’s lightweight S COR polymer, which fills more than half of the putter’s internal volume, letting engineers strip mass from the center and push it to the extreme perimeter for substantially higher moment of inertia (MOI). The face measures just 0.055 inches thick — structurally backed by the polymer — and carries PXG’s third-generation pyramid milling pattern, designed to mesh more consistently with the ball’s dimples for uniform roll and sound across the face. Adjustable sole weights let fitters fine-tune head weight and stroke bias.
The One & Done ZT is available now in right- and left-handed models for $449.99 through PXG stores, PXG.com, and select fitting partners, joining a ZT family that already spans blades, mallets, and long putters.
Why It Matters
Zero torque is the biggest putter design story of the decade. Pioneered by L.A.B. Golf and validated on tour by wins from players like Adam Scott, the concept attacks the oldest problem in putting: the face wanting to rotate open and closed during the stroke. By balancing the head so the face naturally stays square to the path, zero torque putters remove much of the timing that conventional blades demand — which is why nearly every major manufacturer has now piled into the category, from Odyssey and TaylorMade to Bettinardi and Tour Edge.
PXG’s entry matters because the brand competes on technical extremes rather than price, and the One & Done ZT stacks zero torque geometry on top of the high-MOI, thin-face, polymer-filled construction PXG uses in its premium line. At $449.99 it undercuts several boutique zero torque options while offering fitter-adjustable weighting — a sign the category is maturing from curiosity into a mainstream fitting choice.

What This Means For You
Should you switch? Zero torque putters help most if your misses come from face rotation — pushes and pulls that show up on putts inside ten feet. If you already release the putter naturally with an arced stroke, a conventional blade may still suit you better. Before spending $450, diagnose the real problem: work through our guide on how to aim a putter and start putts on line, because no head design can rescue a putter that’s aimed wrong at address.
Remember, too, that the contact point between you and any putter is the grip — a fatter, non-tapered model can quiet the hands in a similar way for a fraction of the price, as we covered with Golf Pride’s new zero taper putter grip. And whichever technology ends up in your bag, distance control still comes from technique: solid fundamentals around the green, like those in our guide to chipping, save more strokes than any hosel design. The smart play is a fitting: bring your current putter, test a zero torque model side by side, and let the start-line and dispersion numbers decide.
Key Takeaways
- PXG launched the One & Done ZT on July 2, 2026 — a $449.99 zero torque mallet with an onset hosel, hollow 303 stainless steel body, and S COR polymer filling over half its internal volume.
- An ultra-thin 0.055-inch face and third-generation pyramid milling aim to reposition mass for extreme MOI while keeping roll and feel consistent.
- Zero torque is now golf’s fastest-growing putter category, with nearly every major brand offering a model that resists face rotation through the stroke.
- Zero torque helps most if you struggle with pushes and pulls from face rotation — get fit and compare dispersion data before switching.
