Zero Torque Putters
18 putters across 6 brands whose manufacturer describes the head as zero torque or torque-eliminating. A zero-torque putter runs the shaft axis through the head's center of gravity so the face barely twists on an off-center strike — a different mechanism from toe hang, not a point on the same scale, and one that is not restricted to a straight stroke. Only models where the maker makes the claim appear here; a putter is not added to this list because it looks like the others.

Where each claim comes from
Not every zero-torque claim is published the same way. Most brands state it on the product page itself; at least one states it only at brand level, covering the whole line rather than the specific model. That is a weaker citation, and it is worth knowing which is which before spending $500.

Zero torque — frequently asked
What is a zero torque putter?
A putter built so the shaft axis passes through (or very near) the head's center of gravity, so an off-center strike produces almost no twisting force on the face. Conventional putters resist that twist through toe hang and head weight; a zero-torque design tries to remove the twist rather than balance it. It is a different mechanism, not a point on the toe-hang scale, which is why this list is separate from the toe hang chart.
Do zero torque putters actually work?
The design goal — less face rotation through impact — is real geometry, not marketing. Whether it lowers your scores against a properly fitted conventional putter is not settled by anything a manufacturer publishes, and Stymie does not test putters. Treat the category as worth trying on a putting green, not as a proven upgrade.
Is a zero torque putter only for a straight stroke?
No. Reducing face torque is independent of the path your stroke takes, and the brands in this category pitch them to arcing strokes as well. That is genuinely different from face-balanced putters, which are matched to a straight stroke specifically.
Which brands make zero torque putters?
Axis1, Bettinardi, Evnroll, L.A.B. Golf, Odyssey, PXG all describe at least one current model as zero torque or torque-eliminating. This list has 18 models across 6 brands; it covers the brands Stymie tracks, not every boutique maker.
