PXG · Zero Torque
PXG Hot Rod ZT Putter - SL1 - Black
The PXG Hot Rod ZT is a center-shafted mallet putter engineered with a true Zero Torque Design to keep the face square to the path throughout the entire putting stroke. This version uses an Onset Hosel with zero-torque balance. The SL1 sightline is a clean, blank back cavity for a minimalist look.

Overview
About this Onset Hosel Hot Rod ZT SL1
The onset hosel directs the shaft axis just above the center of gravity, creating a toe-up balance point that resists twisting and supports a natural setup.
Available in: Right Hand / Left Hand; lengths 33 Inch, 33.5 Inch, 34 Inch, 34.5 Inch, 35 Inch, 35.5 Inch, 36 Inch, 36.5 Inch, 37 Inch, 37.5 Inch, 38 Inch; shaft options PXG M16 Putter Shaft - Straight - Chrome (Premium: +$99), PXG M16 Putter Shaft - Straight - Black (Premium: +$99), Straight Putter Shaft - Chrome.
Zero Torque. Clutch Performance.
Precision-milled from 6061 aluminum with a black anodized 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.
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 aluminum body allows precise mass redistribution, while concealed high-density tungsten beneath the sole weight ports increases MOI for enhanced stability and forgiveness.

Design & Performance
Pyramid Milled Face Pattern
More aggressive milling optimizes interaction with the golf ball’s dimples to improve roll characteristics, delivering a soft sound with the feedback of a solid milled face.
Design & Performance
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.


Design & Performance
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.
