PXG Launches the PXG Bat Attack ZT Putter: Fusing Iconic Design with Zero Torque Precision

SCOTTSDALE, AZ – PXG, the brand known for pushing golf club design to the extreme, is proud to announce the launch of its all-new PXG® Bat Attack® ZT Putter, the latest addition to its revolutionary Zero Torque (ZT) Technology lineup. Combining one of the company’s most iconic mallet designs with advanced engineering breakthroughs, the Bat Attack ZT Putter delivers elite-level performance, total face control, and an unmistakable feel.

The second drop in PXG’s Zero Torque Putter collection, the Bat Attack ZT Putter builds on the momentum of the PXG Allan® Putter. The proprietary design is engineered to minimize face rotation throughout the putting stroke by aligning the shaft axis just above the center of gravity. This eliminates torque and helps golfers maintain a square face without manipulating their stroke.

The proprietary S-hosel is a cornerstone of the Bat Attack ZT Putter’s Zero Torque design. By positioning the shaft axis just above the center of gravity (CG), this innovative hosel eliminates torque that would otherwise be generated during the stroke. In contrast to traditional hosels create unwanted twisting forces – the S-hosel design keeps the putter face square to the path from start to finish. Paired with a built-in 2° of forward press, the S-hosel naturally places the golfer’s hands in the optimal position at address, encouraging a smoother, more consistent putting motion with minimal manipulation or effort.

At the heart of the Bat Attack ZT Putter is a hollow-bodied 303 stainless steel construction, injected with PXG’s proprietary S COR polymer. This material accounts for 31% of the putter’s internal volume and allows mass to be redistributed to the extreme perimeter of the clubhead, dramatically increasing the moment of inertia (MOI).

This putter also features PXG’s ultra-thin putter face. The thin face backed by the polymer fill minimizes vibrations and creates a refined, insert-like sound on contact, without sacrificing the crisp feel of a milled putter.

PXG’s Pyramid Face Pattern further enhances roll characteristics. Featuring aggressive milling and optimized pyramid density, the pattern interacts with the golf ball’s dimples to produce true, consistent roll and a satisfying sound at impact. This combination of feel and feedback helps golfers dial in their distance.

To further fine-tune performance, the Bat Attack ZT Putter features two sole weights that allow golfers and fitters to precisely adjust the overall clubhead weight and toe-heel bias.

Available for both right- and left-handed players, the Bat Attack ZT Putter is the perfect blend of form and function.

World No. 1 Uses Nippon Shaft to Win Byron Nelson

CARLSBAD, CA – The world’s No. 1 golfer used Nippon Shaft’s N.S.PRO MODUS³ Hybrid Tour X-flex shaft in his utility iron enroute to an 8-shot victory at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, his first win of the season.

The 28-year-old Texan shot a 31-under-par total with rounds of 61-63-66-63—253 to win at TPC Craig Ranch outside Dallas. The victory was especially meaningful because it was the first time he had won the tournament that he was invited to play as a teenager.

Although this was his first victory of the year, the victor has six top 10 finishes in nine starts this season, including a fourth-place finish at the Masters, where he was defending champion, and has not finished worse than T-25. The win sees the world’s top-ranked player coming into form just two weeks before the PGA Championship, the second major of the year.

“Nippon Shaft congratulates the world’s No. 1 player on his first victory of the season at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, ” said Hiro Fukuda, sales and marketing for Nippon Shaft. “We are proud that he relied on our N.S.PRO MODUS³ Hybrid Tour X-flex shaft in his utility iron to win his first tournament of the year. Nippon Shaft’s breakthrough hybrid technology in shaft design combines the best qualities of steel and graphite so that tour-level players and everyday golfers can get the best out of their games.

More than 300 players on the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, European Tour and Korn Ferry Tour use Nippon Shaft’s MODUS³ series steel shafts to help gain their desired distance, accuracy, and trajectory.
