Zero Torque. Clutch Performance.
The PXG Hot Rod ZT is a centre-shafted mallet putter engineered with a true Zero Torque Design to keep the face square to the path throughout the entire putting stroke. By positioning the centre of gravity (CG) just below the shaft axis, Hot Rod ZT minimises twisting forces that cause the face to open or close, delivering exceptional stability with minimal golfer manipulation.
Precision-milled from 6061 aluminium with a black anodised finish, Hot Rod ZT features four interchangeable sole weights and concealed high-density tungsten to boost MOI and forgiveness. PXG’s Pyramid Milled Face Pattern enhances roll consistency while delivering the soft sound of an insert with the responsive feel of a solid milled putter.

Technology That Performs
Zero Torque Design
With the CG positioned just below the shaft axis, Hot Rod ZT generates virtually no torque during the stroke. This design keeps the face square to the path with little to no external force, ideal for golfers who struggle with face control.
Onset Hosel
The onset hosel directs the shaft axis just above the CG, creating a toe-up balance point that resists twisting. The integrated forward press promotes a natural setup and consistent loft delivery.
Materials & Construction
A CNC-milled 6061 aluminium body allows precise mass redistribution, while concealed high-density tungsten beneath the sole weight ports increases MOI for enhanced stability and forgiveness.
Pyramid Milled Face Pattern
More aggressive milling optimises interaction with the golf ball’s dimples to improve roll characteristics, delivering a soft sound with the feedback of a solid milled face.
Adjustable Weighting System
Four interchangeable sole weights allow golfers to fine-tune head weight to match stroke tendencies and preferences, with a wide adjustment range supported by tungsten-boosted MOI.

Designed To Roll True
Hot Rod ZT is engineered with 6° of measured loft but plays like a standard 3° putter thanks to an integrated 3° forward press. This design naturally positions the hands at address, promotes consistent face delivery, and pairs seamlessly with PXG’s Slant grip options developed specifically for zero-torque putting.
PXG Slant Putter Grips
Designed with a 1.5° slant, PXG Slant grips help move the hands into a natural playing position for zero-torque putters, supporting a stable, repeatable stroke.
Slant Pistol Traditional pistol profile with a smaller, tapered feel. Ideal for players who prefer a more compact grip on a zero-torque style putter.
Slant Pistol Mid Larger pistol profile with a fuller, tapered shape. Ideal for players who prefer added size and stability without sacrificing feel.
Slant 1.5 Flatter, non-tapered rectangular profile. Ideal for players who prefer a non-tapered grip that accommodates a variety of grip styles on a zero-torque style putter.
Available in right- and left-handed configurations, all grips are engineered to complement Hot Rod ZT’s zero-torque design and integrated forward press.

Hot Rod ZT Putter FAQs
Is Hot Rod ZT a zero torque putter?
Hot Rod ZT is a zero torque putter designed to minimise twisting during the putting stroke. Hot Rod ZT positions the centre of gravity just below the shaft axis, helping the face stay square to the path with little to no manipulation from the golfer.
Is the Hot Rod ZT centre-shafted?
Yes. Hot Rod ZT features a centre-shafted design that aligns the shaft axis closely with the centre of gravity, enhancing stability and promoting a face-square stroke.
What does the onset hosel do?
The onset hosel directs the shaft axis just above the CG to create a toe-up balance point. This helps the putter resist twisting and supports Hot Rod ZT’s zero torque performance while maintaining a natural setup position.
Why does Hot Rod ZT have 6° of loft?
Hot Rod ZT is designed with 6° of measured loft to account for its integrated 3° forward press. At address, the putter plays like a standard 3° loft, promoting proper launch and consistent roll.
What alignment options are available?
Hot Rod ZT is available in two alignment configurations: SL2, the standard model with two sightlines, and SL1, a clean, blank back cavity for a minimalist look. Both options offer the same performance, allowing players to choose based on visual preference.
What grips are available for Hot Rod ZT?
Hot Rod ZT pairs with PXG Slant grips designed specifically for zero torque putting: Slant Pistol (smaller, traditional pistol profile), Slant Pistol Mid (larger pistol profile for added stability) and Slant 1.5 (flatter, non-tapered rectangular profile). All are designed to help move the hands into a natural playing position.
Is Hot Rod ZT a mallet putter?
Yes. Hot Rod ZT is a high-MOI mallet putter engineered for stability, forgiveness, and consistency, especially on off-centre strikes.
Can the head weight be adjusted?
Yes. Hot Rod ZT features four interchangeable sole weights, allowing head weight to be adjusted to match stroke preference and feel.
What materials are used in the Hot Rod ZT?
Hot Rod ZT is CNC-milled from 6061 aluminium and features concealed high-density tungsten beneath the sole weight ports to increase MOI and overall stability.
Who is the Hot Rod ZT best for?
Hot Rod ZT is ideal for golfers who struggle to keep the putter face square, prefer a stable, low-manipulation stroke, like the look and forgiveness of a mallet, and want the benefits of zero torque design in a centre-shafted putter.
Is Hot Rod ZT available for left-handed golfers?
Yes. Right-handed models are stocked in Australia, and left-handed models are available as a custom order from PXG.
How does Hot Rod ZT compare to other PXG putters?
Hot Rod ZT is one of PXG’s most stability-focused putters, designed around true zero torque performance. It differs from blade or toe-hang models by reducing face rotation and promoting a repeatable, face-square stroke.
