New series minimizes torque and maintains a squarer face to the target line for better directional control 

BATAVIA, IL – Tour Edge Golf introduces the all-new Zero T Putter Series, a four-model lineup engineered with Zero Torque technology to promote a square face at impact and improve start-line consistency. 

Each model aligns the shaft axis through the putter’s center of gravity to reduce torque and resist face rotation throughout the stroke. High-MOI head designs further enhance stability, limiting twisting at impact and improving forgiveness and consistency. 

“Returning the putter face square to the target line at impact is critical for putting performance,” explained CEO David Glod. “The Zero T design stabilizes the face through the stroke to support that outcome for golfers of all skill levels.”

The series incorporates precision-milled faces with horizontal milling to produce consistent contact and predictable roll. ZT-1, ZT-2, and ZT-3 are constructed from one-piece cast 304 stainless-steel, while ZT-4 features an aluminum body with a TPU insert for a softer feel in a larger mallet profile. Alignment systems vary by model to accommodate different visual preferences while supporting consistent aim and setup.

All models are offered in 34”, 35” and 38” lengths. The 34” and 35” options include a 10.4” oversized-pistol grip, while the 38” model features a 16” extended oversized grip for added stability.

The Zero T Putter Series will be available at authorized Tour Edge golf shops globally beginning today, with each model retailing for $199.99.

Model Overview

• ZT-1: compact mallet with a 3D sloped alignment bridge for target-line guidance. RH only.
• ZT-2: Mallet with contrast topline alignment linking strike point to shaft axis. RH and LH available.
• ZT-3: Squared frame design to frame the ball and extend the target line visually. RH only.
• ZT-4: Highest MOI-mallet with alignment stripe and rear visual aide for maximum forgiveness. RH and LH available.

As a shorter golfer, I’m pretty accustomed to having to order golf clubs that are the proper length for my height. However, many amateur players have no idea they are playing with a putter that is not the correct length.

When you use a putter that is not the proper length, you can have issues with alignment, consistency, and overall effectiveness of your putting stroke.

We are going to take a more in-depth look into how to choose the right putter length based on your height.

Why Putter Length Matters

Two main reasons putter length matters are alignment and setup. With the proper putter length, you can get your body into the right position. Once your eyes are over the golf ball, you can get your hands and arms into the proper position.

Having the hands and arms in place will then help golfers who are struggling with alignment. With your eyes over the ball, you can now see down the line and make your golf ball travel towards the target.

For golfers with a straight back and straight-through putting stroke, getting the eyes over the ball can help keep the stroke more consistent.

Breakdown of Correct Putter Length by Height

The easiest way for golfers to determine if they are playing with the right putter length is to consider their height. We will tell you that this is not the only way to decide on the length of a putter. Considerations like arm length and even your putting stance will also come into play.

When purchased off the shelf, putters will come in 33, 34, or 35 inch lengths. You will notice on our chart of the putter lengths by height that the lengths are a bit more broken down, with half inch sizes included.

This is because putters can also be custom fitted to meet the needs of any player. When custom fitting a putter, you must be sure that you are also taking into consideration the weighting of the club and how this change in length will impact the putter length.

Many golfers also ask about holding the putter further down on the grip and whether or not this will work for keeping their putter length a bit shorter. It can work to get your eyes over the ball, but it is not always as convenient and can make the stroke more restricted.

Take a look at this general guide that gives you the correct putter length in inches by the player height.

Other Factors That Might Affect The Putter Length You Choose

As we mentioned, finding the correct putter length is not just about your height; other factors come into play during a putter fitting. In addition, golfers need to consider that outside of technology and technological factors, they must also find a putter they like and play well with.

A few of the things that impact putter length are your arm length, posture, and your putter style.

Arm Length

Golfers with longer arms may need a shorter putter. If your hands fall too far below your waist while you are bent over to make a putt, you may need a club that is a little shorter. A 34 inch putter is the average putter length, but golfers with longer arms may want to consider going to something that is 33 inches.

With a long arm’s length, you will want to ensure that you have the room to make a pendulum-style stroke, and a shorter putter will likely help that happen. Golfers with longer arms need to be careful about a belly putter and ensure their grip is also the proper length to accommodate their arms.

Posture

The posture from one golfer to another changes considerably. One of the great things about putting is choosing a posture and a style that works for you. As long as you are consistent in your game, then there is no need to follow a textbook putting posture.

However, if you have a posture that keeps you a bit further or closer to the ball, your putter length needs to be adjusted. When a putter has a more upright design and the toe is raised, you may miss some putts to the left.

For golfers that feel too close to the ball because of their setup, it becomes hard to make a follow through, and directional control is an issue. These golfers often see putts that end up too far to the right.

The good news is that you can adjust your putter length so you don’t have to adjust your swing. This is the case with all golf equipment. These small tweaks make it much easier to keep your natural ability and then change the gear.

Putter Style

The putter style that you use could impact the length that you need. Some of these larger mallet-size putter heads are a bit larger, and a tall golfer or short golfer may feel as though they need to change their setup a bit to get close enough to the ball without the putter getting in the way.

Smaller profile blade putters don’t present as much of an issue, but this is undoubtedly a factor when you go for a putter fitting. Some of these height adjustments to accommodate the style of the putter will only be a quarter or half an inch, but they are still essential to consider.

Don’t choose a putter style based on your height. Instead, have the putter fitted to work for your game.

Putter Length FAQs

Without going for a putter fitting with a professional, finding the right putter length may take a bit more time and attention to detail. You will likely want to have a tape measure and your current putter.

Always compare what you are currently playing with to the putter you intend to use so that you can see what changes are essential.

What is The Standard Putter Length?

The standard putter length is 34 inches. However, most golf manufacturers offer a 34 and 35 inch models of the putters that they have in their lineup. The 33 inch can be a bit more difficult to find, but they do exist. Changing the length of the putter after you purchase it is possible, but it could need the help of a professional.

Are There Putters with Adjustable Lengths?

Ping made a series of putters that had adjustable lengths. Although this was a nice feature, once you know the length of the putter you need, you don’t need to adjust it all that often. Having an adjustable driver so that you can change the loft on your club is one thing, but putter length adjustability is not always necessary.

Can I Adjust My Own Putter Length?

Many golfers adjust their own golf clubs by cutting them down and regripping them. There are also extensions you can add to the end of a putter to make it a bit longer. These inserts are not hard to install and can be an excellent solution for a tall golfer.

Are Putter Fittings Worth It?

Putter fittings are becoming increasingly popular. These fittings help golfers to understand more about their putting stroke and why it’s vital to get the correct putter length. Putter fittings will show you how often you hit the center of the putter head and what needs to be done to have it happen more often.

Does Putter Length Impact Weight?

The length of the putter can impact the weight of the putter, and it’s one of the most important considerations that golfers must make when they decide to change their putter length. You should always have a lie loft machine and a scale anytime you are changing your golf clubs. Check the putter weight to ensure you don’t struggle with distance control.

Is a Custom Putter Necessary?

For golfers that are taller or shorter than average, a custom putter length may be necessary. Custom putters will ensure that there are no issues with the putter face being square at impact. In addition, a custom putter will also give you the best chance on those short putts that can so quickly change your score in a round of golf.

Out on the PGA Tour, when one player starts to have success with something, it doesn’t take long for others to take notice and try it for themselves.

Specifically, putters catch fire more often than other clubs.

In recent years, the Jailbird craze of 2023 is an obvious example, with Rickie Fowler, Wyndham Clark and Keegan Bradley all winniung with Jailbird Cruisers in the span of two months. This year, hordes of pros have flocked to TaylorMade’s Spider putters after the boatloads of wins by Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy.

Now, Cam Young’s Phantom 9.5R has the potential to be the next hot putter.

This week, Justin Thomas made a switch to an essential copy of the putter after Young won the Players Championship and the Cadillac Championship over the past month and a half.

Justin Thomas has a new Phantom 9.5R putter that is basically a copy of Cam Young’s putter.

“You want Cam’s putter? We were going to get Cam’s putter,” Scotty Cameron rep Brad Cloke told me.

Thomas switched from his Phantom 5.5 gamer midway through the RBC Heritage last month… pic.twitter.com/bSLJteD7HQ

It’s Thomas’ second switch in a month after he benched his Phantom 5.5 gamer midway through the RBC Heritage last month and played well on the weekend using a backup Newport 2 GSS blade.

He continued using that putter last week, but at Quail Hollow, he wanted to find something that would stick long term. He had worked himself nearly back to 0 strokes gained: putting after a disastrous start to his season at Bay Hill, before a rough opening two rounds at Harbour Town. He lost strokes with the blade last week in Miami.

“Some of it is just calibration. … some of it is just, he, you know, the potential of making good putts but not seeing anything go in type of thing,” Scotty Cameron Tour Rep Brad Cloke told GOLF. “It just seemed like he kind of wanted to start a little bit from scratch this week.”

So he asked for a couple of new putters, including some 9.2Rs, a shape he used previously, and a copy of Cam Young’s 9.5R.

“I literally texted Cameron’s guys and said, ‘Just give me Cam’s putter,’” Thomas said Friday, who played with Young the first two days.

Not an uncommon request.

“Obviously, with the success that Cam is having … these guys are as they see success and they want to see what it’s all about potentially,” Cloke said.

In addition to having a low-bend shaft that mimics the look and toe hang of a jet neck, Thomas’s 5.5 also has smooth face milling that makes it a bit louder-sounding and firmer.

His new putter matches Young’s so it has mid-milled face, but he’s actually preferred the milling on the new 9.5R.

“It was more so of like, ‘Hey, this is different, but I’m kind of liking it,’” Cloke said. “The comment that I heard from him was about feel, but it was more so like, ‘I’m actually surprised I like the way this feels.’”

While the putter is Thomas’ spec length and has his grip, it has the same graphite shaft Young uses and a full-length sight line. Thomas found that made it super easy to line up.

“It’s just so hard to putt well if you don’t have confidence, and so hard to have confidence unless you’re seeing it go in more often,” Thomas said. “So I really, really worked hard Monday through Wednesday on my speed and start line and everything to where I just felt like I was in a better place and more freed up when I was putting.”

Through two rounds, it’s been highly successful as Thomas sits at seven under going into the weekend and is gaining nearly three strokes on the field, good for top 10 in the stat.

Sahith Theegala’s newest putter wasn’t random, finally

While the biggest story in Ping putters was Tony Finau’s bizarre technique with a prototype Oslo Onset long putter early in the week, he ended up going back to the Scottsdale Tec Ally Blue Onset he switched to in February.

In fact, Ping’s Ally Blue headshape had a solid week, earning two high-profile conversions, one so surprising Ping Tour Rep Kenton Oates didn’t even take it seriously.

Sahith Theegala, who, as we profiled in Bag Spy this week, loves to practice with random putters every week on the PGA Tour before returning to his longtime Anser gamer, was losing a putting contest on the practice green using an Ally Blue H when Oates hollered over for him to try his gamer.

“He goes, ‘This is what I used Sunday of Cadillac,’” Oates said. “And I go, ‘What? 
He goes, ‘Yeah, I think I’m going to use it on Thursday.’”

Theegala followed through on Thursday in the first round of the Truist Championship and kept it in the bag for Friday as well.

Turns out, this wasn’t another random practice putter for Theegala; this is something he worked on with Ping Principal Design Engineer Tony Serrano. He’s actually had the putter for over a year.

Theegala started working on a mallet putter with Serrano, feeling like he could gain forgiveness over his Anser blade.

“The key thing for him is, he has a certain stroke, a certain rotation in his stroke that requires something with some toe down,” Serrano said. “He’s always played an Anser 2 that hang at that 40 or 42 degrees that work perfectly for his stroke.”

The Ally Blue H has the same plumber’s neck hosel Theegala is used to and similar CG and toe hang properties, making it a more natural transition.

He started working on a new 3-wood with the TaylorMade team.

“Post-Augusta we went back and looked at the data and he was actually getting center strikes that were drawing too much,” TaylorMade Tour rep Keith Sbarbaro said. “So the club was acting like he was toeing it. It was kind of gear-affecting left.
 
“So what we did is we moved the CG a little more toward the toe to try and square that up. The other thing he was getting some under-spinning shots that were knuckling a little bit.”

With the new 3-wood, Sbarbaro said McIlroy hit eight shots that all spun between 3,100 and 3,300 RPM and flew right on target. That’ll do!

The putter grip is the area of the golf game where we can get a bit more creative. The standard golf grip does not have to continue down to the putter; you can change things up and go with something a bit more unique.

Fat putter grips are becoming increasingly popular both for amateur golfers and professionals. We are here to answer your questions as to why this is happening and whether or not it’s time for you to make the switch.

Why Some Golfers Use Fat Putter Grips

The three main reasons that golfers use fat putter grips are to loosen grip pressure, make their path more consistent, and keep their hands and wrists out of the putting stroke.

Lowers Grip Pressure

Golfers that use a larger grip tend to have lower grip pressure. The grip is larger, making it harder for players to wrap their hands, so the grip pressure is considerably lower.

When grip pressure is high in the putting stroke, it can lead to issues with the path and the direction of the putter head. I’ve struggled with this in my game, and when I can be conscious about lighter pressure in the hands, it pays off.

More Consistent Path

Consistency in putting is key. If you can keep the path relatively the same each time you putt it, your chances of lowering your score are much higher. However, to be a consistent putter, you must make sure that you are confident in your path and that you repeat it.

With the proper fat putter grip, it becomes easier to get the feedback you need to keep the putter on the appropriate path.

More Use of Larger Muscles

Some putters are great feel putters, and they can use their hands and wrists to get the ball in the hole. However, the one thing we know about this type of putting stroke is that it is very inconsistent.

Golfers that can incorporate their larger muscles will notice it’s much easier to get the golf ball in the hole. Using shoulders and arms as opposed to hands and wrists makes a big difference.

Are Fat Putter Grips Better?

Fat putter grips are better for golfers that struggle with grip pressure, too much hand and wrist action, and inconsistency in their putting stroke. There are, of course, downsides to a fat putter grip as well.

The weight of your putter can get thrown off a bit when you switch to a fat putter grip. In addition, players with small hands may find that they don’t have enough control with the fat putter grip in place.

The good news is that putter grips come in all different sizes and widths. For golfers with slightly smaller hands, a midsize putter grip could work better than a true fat putter grip.

The 4 Best Fat Putter Grips

There are hundreds of fat putter grips on the market. As the grips have become more popular, more golfers have become interested.

Let’s dive into our top picks…

SuperStroke Traxion (Best Overall)

Pros

• Tour proven design
• Significantly helps with consistency on the course
• Incorporates the larger muscles in the putting stroke
• Tacky feel that does fade

Cons

• Heavy putter grip, you may need to have a professional install it for you

The SuperStroke Traxion is the best overall fat putter grip on the market.

In fact, this putter grip is not just popular among amateur players; it is something that professional golfers will use as well. SuperStroke puts a lot of time, effort, and money into the engineering that goes into these golf grips.

When feel and playability matter to you, the SuperStroke Traxion will need to be on the top of your list. The only negative that you sometimes have to be aware of with the SuperStroke Traxion is the weight. To pack in all the technology they needed, this putter grip weighs in at 65 grams.

One of the technologies that really stands out on the SuperStroke Traxion is the Advanced Spyne Technology. It almost feels like a guide where you can put your hands on the back of the putter. I like having this reminder in place.

Flat Cat Tack Putter Grip (Best for Grip Pressure)

Pros

• Made for a comfortable and tacky feel
• Improved feedback and control
• Highly consistent

Cons

• High priced putter grips, not much variation in price from one model to another

Flat Cat is another brand that has made a strong name for itself when it comes to fat putter grips. This is meant to be a squared-off putting grip that allows players to grip the club in a variety of ways.

With all of the Flat Cat models to choose from, we picked the Flat Cat Tack to be on our list. I like the tacky feel this putter grip provides, and it certainly helps to lower overall grip pressure, and it holds up quite well over time.

Another feature that Flat Cat incorporated into this putter is the Easy Glide Cone technology. This helps you take the putter in and out of the golf bag without damaging the grip. When you pay for the fat putter grips, the last thing you want to experience is damage!

Champkey CT Pistol (Best for Those on a Budget)

Pros

• Pistol shape for better control
• Known for its lightweight design
• Very fair pricing

Cons

• Not quite as thick as the Super Stroke

Champkey is a value golf brand that has been doing a great job of giving golfers the technology they need for a very fair price. The Champkey CT Pistol is the best budget fat grip on the market. If you haven’t already noticed the high pricing on these putter grips, it’s certainly a thing.

An essential putter grip may be in the $5 to $8 range. The high end fat grips start at around $12 and increase to close to $30. Of course, this is more material included, but it’s also just the fact that these grips are very popular right now.

Champkey CT Pistol is made with a comfortable polyurethane material that feels good in the hands and has just enough tack to keep from slipping on the club. In addition, this is a lightweight design that helps to lower your grip pressure. If you happen to struggle with putting but want to make a quick improvement to your stroke, this one is a good choice.

Winn Pro X Putter Grip (Best Premium Option)

Pros

• WinnLite Technology for a lighter overall feel
• Stable during the putting stroke
• Easy to keep the putter in the palm of your hands
• High-quality tacky texture for lower grip pressure

Cons

• Winn grips tend to wear out because the grip material is softer
• Priced higher than other options on the market

The Winn Pro X Is the best premium thick putter grip on the market. Winn takes a lot of time to ensure that its technology is better than others on the market. In addition, they look for the surface texture to be comfortable yet tacky.

With the Winn Pro X putter grip, you will be able to keep the face of the putter on the proper path, as the grip is designed to eliminate movement in the stroke. This rectangular feel takes a bit of time to get used to, but it does keep your hands in the position that you want them for your entire stroke.

If you have the Winn Dri Tac grips on your golf clubs, you may find that this Winn Pro X is an excellent complement to that.

Golf Pride has unveiled its latest putter grip innovation with the launch of ZERO TAPER, a new design aimed at promoting consistency, confidence and control on the greens.

The world’s leading grip manufacturer says the new model has been purposefully engineered to optimise hand placement and encourage even grip pressure, helping golfers square the putter face more effectively at impact.

ZERO TAPER will be available in stores and online from February 17.

Designed for consistency and confidence

The defining feature of ZERO TAPER is its parallel shape, offering a familiar look and feel for players who prefer a non tapered putter grip.

By ensuring both hands experience the same sensation throughout the stroke, Golf Pride believes the grip can help create a more synchronised and repeatable motion.

A deeper side profile improves face awareness, providing clear feedback that allows golfers to better sense and control the putter head.

Visual cues built into the grip guide hand placement, helping players return to the same setup time after time.

An ergonomic horseshoe shaped backside creates a natural resting point for finger folds, while a consistent weight profile across all sizes preserves the putter sweet spot and improves overall stability during the stroke.

Built on experience and testing

Drawing on more than seventy five years of grip making expertise and extensive consumer testing, ZERO TAPER has been developed to balance comfort with performance.

The grip is constructed using polyurethane, a material previously introduced in Golf Pride’s Reverse Taper putter grip range launched in twenty twenty four.

The polyurethane construction delivers a soft yet responsive feel, with traction elements designed to suit a variety of gripping styles.

ZERO TAPER now joins Reverse Taper as one of only two Golf Pride putter grips made using this material.

James Ledford, President of Golf Pride, said the new release builds directly on the success of its predecessor.

“Two years ago we introduced Reverse Taper and it quickly became one of the top selling putter grips worldwide.

With ZERO TAPER we are building on that success by offering players who favour a consistent geometric shape a grip that meets their needs. Our mission is to create products that inspire confidence and help players of all skill levels perform their best.

Sizes colours and availability

ZERO TAPER will be offered in medium and large sizes and will be available in black, blue and red colour options to suit different player preferences.

The grip was conceptualised, designed and tested at Golf Pride’s Global Innovation Centre in Pinehurst, North Carolina, which serves as the hub for global research, product design and brand marketing.

From February 17, ZERO TAPER will be available to purchase in store and online through authorised retailers.

More information on the new grip and the wider twenty twenty six Golf Pride product range can be found at the company’s website and social media channels.

New brand debuts Artifact putters and modular system; will exhibit at the 2026 PGA Show in Orlando

Killer Golf  today announced the launch of its new golf equipment line, introducing a modular putter platform designed to let golfers calibrate weight, balance and intent before a round so the putter aligns with how they feel that day.

Killer Golf’s launch centers on The Artifact putters, including The Wing and The Blade, paired with a modular architecture intended to support highly personalized setup and repeatable stability once configured. The company positions the system as an answer to a common problem among golfers: a putter that felt “perfect yesterday” can feel unfamiliar today due to changes in tempo, nerves or balance, even when the stroke itself has not meaningfully changed.

“At its core, putting is dynamic,” said Shamik Patel, founder of Killer Golf. “The golfer changes day to day, but the putter is traditionally frozen in one configuration. We built Killer Golf to replace that compromise with a precision platform that can be tuned before you play, then locked in so it stays absolutely stable through impact.”

Product system highlights

Killer Golf’s launch lineup includes:

• Artifact Wing: Designed for golfers seeking composure, stability and confidence through impact, while remaining compatible with modular calibration components.
• Artifact Blade: Built for golfers who prioritize feel, feedback and control, with a balance profile intended to support precise calibration on the modular platform.
• Modulators (Anchors and Equilibrium): Components intended to adjust mass, tempo and balance behavior prior to play, based on conditions and the golfer’s physical state.
• Artifact emblem system: Interchangeable personal emblems designed to reflect focus, meaning and milestones, secured through a locking system.

The putters are offered as handcrafted, pre-order items, with current pricing listed at $595 for the Artifact Blade and $625 for the Artifact Wing. The models will be available in two standard colorways, Armor Black and Frost, with two additional offerings, Champagne and Gold, available as limited edition drops.

PGA Show Presence

Killer Golf will introduce the brand to the golf industry at the 2026 PGA Merchandise Show, Jan. 20–23, 2026, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, where attendees can experience the Killer Golf modular system and speak with the team at Booth No. 2452. In addition, Killer Golf will be presenting at Demo Day on January 20 at Putting Green No. 1.

Killer Golf is opening access through a limited early adopter program, including a serialized “First 100” run (individually marked 1–100) as part of its founder-led launch. For more information, product details and updates, visit KillerGolf.com. High resolution images available upon request.

A thicker sole structure in the heel and toe enhances rigidity, refining both the sound and feel through impact and removing any trace of metallic resonance. The result is a putter that embodies classic proportions yet feels entirely modern in feedback and flow.

Defined by its refined mid-mallet silhouette, the Osaka (available in plumber and slant-neck configurations) blends traditional shaping with contemporary stability.

Its shorter heel-toe length and wide blade stance provide visual stability at address, instilling confidence before every stroke. Perimeter weighting provides enhanced MOI, while subtle toe hang options allow players to select their preferred release profile.

The Osaka’s balanced proportions and deep milling deliver the crisp, satisfying sound and roll that Mizuno’s tour staff demanded, a model equally suited to both blade and mallet players seeking assured stability without sacrificing feel.

Driven by Mizuno’s extensive sound and vibration analysis, the Nagoya introduces the Roll-Up Cavity, a geometry designed to minimise sole displacement at impact while amplifying resonance control.

Available in a slant or double-bend neck, this unique structure produces a denser, more solid strike and an ultra-stable roll. Enhanced perimeter weighting further increases MOI, while the refined mass distribution delivers a truer sensation through the stroke, the culmination of years of acoustic and structural study.

Completing the family, the Tokyo showcases Mizuno’s Channel Wing design, a sculpted cavity that blends aerodynamic form with exceptional rigidity. Like the Nagoya, its geometry is tuned through sound analysis to eliminate unwanted frequencies and the metallic ‘ting’ found in earlier OMOI prototypes.

Also available in slant or double-bend, the Tokyo’s more compact profile appeals to purists seeking precision and feedback in a shape that frames the ball cleanly and promotes a natural, repeatable stroke.

Every putter in the series is available in two premium finishes—Grey Ion or Nickel—each chosen to complement the head shape and provide a refined, durable aesthetic that matches Mizuno’s meticulous standards.

The 2026 M.CRAFT series represents more than an evolution; it is a return to Mizuno’s roots in sound-tuned engineering and forged precision.

Each head is shaped, weighted, and milled in Japan to create a true sensory connection between player, putter, and performance.

Together, the Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo models mark a new era of Mizuno craftsmanship, built on the belief that the truest measure of feel is not only what you sense through your hands, but what you hear in the strike.
