Zero Torque Putters

Who has tried/ uses one? Does it work? Did you adjust your stroke as recommended?

Problem now is you don’t know what’s real and what’s fake.

LAB makes good putters. What failed was the golfers would think the equipment is the solution to their putting issues.
I would suggest after put in a good faith of practice and some guidance from a second pair of eyes, the next logical step is to have your vision assessed.
I've only said this because one can only aim at what one thinks he is aiming. If the alignment is off, then everything else will follow.
After I got diagnosed with my vision tendency, I can use any style of putter, just a matter of whether I like the look at address. Unless the putter is off beat with weight or offset angle.

Anyone change from the Lab Press grip to a Super Stroke etc. on a Lab putter (real or fake)? I have the OZ.1i (with 2 degrees of shaft lean).

Wondering if you manually did a forward press at setup. And if not did the onset affect anything?

I’m putting pretty good with it, but have Super Strokes on my other putters. I know I shouldn’t mess with a good thing. But……. Have seen some videos etc..

One was a with one of the LAB guys doing a fitting and saying he likes a regular grip instead of the Press grip. He didn’t say whether he did a forward press or not.

Yep. I use JumboMax and prefer it over the LAB on my OZ.1.

Do you forward press your hands?

CallMeAl Some, but not sure what degree...

And this is why I wonder about using forward press when putting. Putting is a very short stroke.
Too much, miss right? Not enough, miss left? If I'm understanding the whole process.
You might also see balls jumping, hopping instead of rolling smoothly. Never a good thing.

imo, LAB took the 'too much/not enough' out of the equation by coming out with their grip. I don't think people are giving it a chance to do what they intended it to do. When I had my LAB with their grip, I just held it/stroked it as I do my normal putter, grip straight up/down, which kept the loft always the same. I think loft may be the key when players miss putts as they change it by however they hold & deliver the face to the ball....consistently, I'll add.
Pros may use forward press but keeping in mind they may hit more putts in a month than we may hit in years. And they still are not that good at putting(averages/statistics).

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'll never change the way I putt. And will never use forward press when doing so.

Then again, some of this golf shit is Greek to me. Sometimes.😉

Yes, that’s why they do a forward press grip so the loft stays as they intended it. If I take my LAB OZ and move the grip where the shaft looks straight in my hands the bottom leading edge of the putter comes up slightly i.e. adding loft.

This is why I was wondering in people who changed the grip incorporated a forward press at setup so the leading bottom edge stayed flat on the ground so the loft stayed the same.

You can order a LAB OZ with no shaft lean. I assume the grip has no forward press built in. Also, the reason they want you to get fit is the lie angle is a determinant when coupled with the zero torque.

I did not get fit. I didn’t want to wait several weeks. I believe the standard lie angle on the OZ is 69 degrees. What I do at setup is sole the putter so it’s flat and putt with my hands there. My hands are slightly lower than normal at setup, but it’s an easy adjustment and I’m putting well.

Just went to Lazrus Golf site. Saw a coupon code somewhere and applied it. The 2.5 putter then shows a price of $165.60. Code is GOLFER.

Odd, mine is $165.60 w/Free shipping and does not show Tax

And that (forced)forward press will vary with every putt, imo, as do our full club swings vary. And then they may say ZT does not work. The grip should let one deliver the same putt every time, or at least more consistently, thus giving the club a chance to perform as it was designed/built, with that grip.
Much like the longer driver shaft thing....players do not give changes enough time for proper determinations. A couple swings, a couple putts....nahhhh....going back. 😄

Exactly…. Also the reason lie angle is so important is the zero torque only works if you putt with the lie angle that the putter was balanced for.

Once you change the lie angle with your setup there is no more zero torque. And because of this your miss could be amplified.

Lie Angle Balance is the whole ball of wax. LAB thought it so important that they named their company with the acronym. lol

I typically putt with higher hands like Steve Stricker. Sometimes with the heel slightly up off the ground. But I’m pretty flexible and can adjust easily.

But I can’t emphasize enough that if you don’t get fit make sure the sole of the putter is flat on the ground. Otherwise with the toe up or down you’ve nullified the whole purpose of zero torque. And there will be no zero torque.

jsippy73 No, New Mexico loves tax (state + local=8.42% Gross Receipts Tax) but just looked at the receipt and no tax. No tax shown, doubt it is built in. I used a military discount and doubt that is the reason. Already charged my card.

Typhoon I would not buy a new or used LAB. poor value IMO. After stroking the LAZRUS a few times it does what i want it to. Doesn't have anywhere near the cashe but IDGAF 😀
