A lot has been made of zero-torque balance technology in putters, let’s see how beneficial it is in PXG’s Allan putter.

Putters can often seem devoid of innovation and a unique design at times, but PXG’s new Allan putter definitely doesn’t fall into that category with its zero torque design. This putter is designed with one thing in mind; helping golfers make more putts. So, has PXG accomplished this? Find out in our full PXG Allan Putter review…

4.5 star review
NCG SUMMARY

The PXG Allan putter is one of the latest additions into the ever growing zero torque category. It offers enhanced stability, impressive aesthetics, and superb short-range performance. Although it takes some getting used to on longer putts and the grip could be improved, this putter is well worth considering for players looking to improve their consistency on the greens.

PROS

  • Excellent face stability through impac
  • Clean and modern aesthetic
  • Alignment line is very useful

CONS

  • Slight adjustment needed on long putts
  • Grip could be improved

PXG Allan Putter Review: First Impressions

The Allan putter isn’t just about the performance it is also a pretty extraordinary bit of design. Its multi-material hollow body construction combines different metals for optimal weighting and a sophisticated visual profile. I love the black-to-silver contrast and it is more than just eye-catching, it also helps ensure you’re lined up correctly over the ball.

NCG Verdict

During testing, I found the Allan excelled inside eight feet. The long alignment line, stretching from the face to the rear, makes short putts feel almost automatic. I have found it to be rare to find a putter that combines ease of alignment with such face control, and the Allan hits that sweet spot confidently.

However, I am under the belief that longer putts do require a brief adjustment period for most club golfers. The weight distribution that aids consistency on short strokes can initially feel unfamiliar when gauging distance.

Although, like most things a little practice goes a long way, and once acclimatised, the Allan proves itself across the green.

Another bonus? The hidden pick-up pocket on the sole is a nifty feature that lets you scoop up short gimmes without bending over. It’s the sort of small detail that shows PXG’s attentiveness to player experience.

Final Verdict

Overall, the PXG Allan is a serious contender for anyone intrigued by zero torque technology or simply in search of a high-performing, high-tech flat stick. It blends premium build quality with genuine putting benefits, particularly for those who value alignment and face stability.

For me though, if PXG could improve one thing, it would be the grip. While it is still very much useable, I just don’t think it quite matches the premium feel of the rest of the putter. A simple upgrade here could complete what is otherwise a near-flawless offering.

Callaway Epic Max driver review
Jack Backhouse

A member of the PGA for 13 years, Jack has lived golf for more than half his life. Inspired by Tiger Wood’s winning putt at the 2008 US Open, an obsession began with watching slow motion golf swings on the internet and reading What’s In The Bag articles in magazines.

Not destined for a life behind the desk in a pro shop, Jack has focussed more on coaching, working closely with regional teams in North Yorkshire and helping golfers of all levels on their journey to enjoying playing the game more. Jack has coached many junior golfers into the county teams, and once worked with a player at the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie.

After letting his game fall apart prior to COVID, Jack rediscovered his love for playing golf after joining Silloth Golf Club in 2020 and whipping round the windy, firm links course. Playing regularly with a half set of clubs he has a passion for shot making and developing skill, and claims to have the sharpest 30-100 yard game in the North of England (only because he doesn’t know anyone in the South), and now maintains a +1 handicap at a club much closer to home, Sand Moor GC.

Jack has always tinkered with his equipment, once building his own Frankenstein one length set of clubs after watching Bryson DeChambeau burst onto the scene after winning the US Amateur. He firmly believes in getting custom fit and is happy to debate anyone about blade irons being superior to any other iron category.

Jack loves: playing quickly, 2 ball golf, match play, heathland courses, pencil bags, foursomes, Tiger Wood’s swing 2005-2009.

Jack hates: buggies, unnecessary trees, giving shots, the 7 iron loft debate, graphite shaft lovers weird superiority complex.
