Since they first came onto the scene in 2013, it’s fair to say PXG have liked to do things differently. The brand have recently launched their second instalment of zero torque putters with the PXG Bat Attack ZT putter. Having tested a number of zero torque putters in the last few months, I was interested to test my first one that wasn’t centre shafted in this review.
The Bat Attack ZT putter follows on from the successful PXG Allan putter. Its shaft axis aligns just above the centre of gravity helping reduce torque for better control. Effectively it’s helping golfers to keep the club face square throughout the stroke.

Who Is It Aimed At?
If you’re looking for a new putter, you’ve probably wondered whether zero torque technology can improve your putting.
If you haven’t tried a zero torque putter, most of them use a centre shaft bent forward at a set angle. This shaft position helps align the centre of gravity directly in the middle of the putter head. Even though the Bat Attack ZT isn’t centre shafted, it still maintains zero torque performance. It manages to do this while offering a more traditional hosel position and cleaner look at address.
So if you’re not into centre-shafted putters but want zero torque, the PXG Bat Attack ZT is worth considering.
The Tech
The Bat Attack ZT putter features PXG’s distinctive S-shaped hosel, which is central to its Zero Torque technology. This hosel positions the shaft axis just above the centre of gravity, helping to eliminate torque during the stroke.
The design keeps the face square through the stroke, helping golfers start putts straighter and more consistently.
With two degrees of forward press built into the head, the Bat Attack ZT encourages better hand positioning at address. This can lead to a smoother stroke and improved roll off the face.
The head is made from hollow-bodied 303 stainless steel and filled with PXG’s proprietary S-COR polymer. The material shifts weight to the head’s edges, which PXG says increases stability by boosting moment of inertia.
The ultra-thin face and polymer core reduce vibration while keeping the crisp feel of a milled putter.
This combination also creates a more controlled, refined sound at impact.
PXG’s Pyramid Face Pattern enhances contact with ball dimples, helping produce a smoother and more consistent roll.
Two adjustable weights on the sole let golfers fine-tune the putter’s weight and toe-heel balance.
PXG Bat Attack ZT Putter Review
First of all , when picking the putter up for the first time I couldn’t help but notice the cool headcover. The premium leather PXG polkadot design impressed me before I even took it off!
It even includes an elastic magnetic strap that wraps around the shaft – something I hadn’t seen before.
Looks
The Bat Attack ZT putter has a fang design that instantly reminded me of my own Odyssey #7 Versa. I’ve used my Odyssey #7 Versa for several years and the shape felt familiar right away. So I was delighted to have something that felt comfortable to the eye already.
The sole of the putter features two adjustable weights, alongside the PXG branding and the Bat Attack logo, a name that makes me believe that it was crafted for Bruce Wayne himself. The rest of the sole looks premium and almost a direct replica of my own #7.
The face has a cross effect with little indentations for each cross, as well as the logo on the side. I think PXG are trying for a minimalistic, stealthy look here. But given the cool name like the Bat Attack, why not make the design a bit more interesting?
Personally I feel like PXG could’ve done more to make this even cooler by simply adding a Bat engraving somewhere on the putter like TaylorMade have done with their new Spider ZT.
The top of the putter kind of follows this suit as well. There’s a clean, plain design featuring a white alignment line on the back, along with a single dot on the top. Again I feel like the single dot removes the alignment element as it doesn’t sit too close to the ball, but some people may prefer this.
Down at address the putter sits very flush to the ball and looks really nice. However on right to left putts I found the shaft position a little off-putting, making me feel like I’m aiming right but the club face is left.
Feel
My first impressions hitting putts were straight away that the putter felt very light. There was also a soft feel at strike, so I started by leaving a lot of putts short of the hole.
Performance
To test this putter properly, we returned the same T-Bar Visio tool we used in a recent TaylorMade ZT review. This test helps give us feedback on how consistent the putter is at keeping the face square through impact. I also tested this against my own Odyssey #7 Versa for comparison.
Both putters rolled over the T-Bar 8 out of 10 attempts, with no issues at all with either putters in terms of start line. However I felt with the PXG Bat Attack ZT I was struggling to get my putts to the hole due to the light weight and soft face.
On Course Performance
To further test the Bat Attack ZT I hit a number of putts over 9 holes and found it extremely easy to hit my start line and after a while I did start to get use to the soft face. From distance, my speed control was pretty accurate hitting many putts inside my ideal dust-bin lid length.
My only gripe about the putter would be the slant in the shaft when on short range sloping putts. On right-to-left breakers, my body was aiming far right of where the putter was actually pointing. All because the shaft seems to force me to aim right but the club head aims straight. Over time this may be something that I could get used to though.
PXG Bat Attack ZT Putter Verdict
Overall, I think the PXG Bat Attack ZT putter performed solidly. I liked the design of the shaft not being in the centre like other zero torque putters.
However I wasn’t a fan of the entire design, and I was left wanting a little more after the excitement it first gave me. I think the weight of the putter could take a bit of getting used to, especially if you’re coming from a different type of putter with a different balance.
I think if you’re already a big fan of PXG clubs then this could easily fit the bill, and it’s great for golfers who struggle with getting the ball started on line and want a soft-feeling face.
It’s in a tough market though, with a number of options out there. A price of £429 makes the putter quite expensive compared to the likes of an Odyssey Square 2 Square #7. So it’s definitely worth testing before you make the commitment, to see if it’s right for you.
Would I Use It?
Whilst I enjoyed the looks and how easy it was to start on line, I prefer a much firmer feeling face in my putter.
