PXG Bat Attack ZT Putter Course Tested Review
We put PXG's new zero torque Bat Attack putter to the test
PXG has a new zero-torque putter.
The new PXG Bat Attack ZT putter, released May 8, 2025, is PXG’s follow-up entry into the zero torque category after debuting the Allan putter last year.
The Bat Attack ZT putter combines PXG’s S-hosel, which allows PXG zero torque putters to remain heel-shafted, with the popular Bat Attack’s fang-shaped head.
We tested the new Bat Attack flatstick on the course and the practice green. Here’s everything you need to know.
Bat Attack ZT First Impressions
When the Bat Attack ZT putter arrived at my door, I had no idea what it was or what to expect.
I opened PXG’s signature black box, slipped off the magnetic headcover, and let out an audible “whoa.”
I was expecting to see some contrasting colors (black and white, perhaps) and a loud shape. Instead, I feasted my eyes on the stunning gunmetal finish and PXG’s sleek fang shape. The aesthetic reminded me of the first time I saw the gunmetal finish on a PING PLD Milled putter, which is one of the best looking putters out there if you ask me .
Of course, nobody is going to mistake a zero torque PXG putter for a PING, but the point is the Bat Attack ZT instantly passed the eye test.
The next day, I took the Bat Attack ZT to the practice green, and again, it made an instant impression. The feel of the Bat Attack ZT is distinctly muted. The face doesn’t feel hot or alive. It’s more of a tock than a tick, if you catch my drift.
The other distinct feel element of the Bat Attack ZT putter is the grip. Actually, the grip accounts for two feel bullet points.
Let’s start with the shape. The Bat Attack ZT has a big, square grip. I’m not used to that shape, and it certainly was a noticeable difference in my hands. That’s not necessarily a good or bad thing, just a difference worth noting.
The other element of the grip is that the shaft is not centered in the grip. Instead, it comes in at the rear of the grip and is angled slightly forward (target side), which results in 2° of built-in shaft lean and gets the player’s hands forward at address and through the stroke.

PXG Bat Attack ZT Performance
Like seemingly everything else with the Bat Attack ZT putter, the performance impressed me.
After rolling a few to grasp the feel and distance, I went through my practice routine of holing out from 18 different locations, from four to 24 feet.
Despite a noticeably softer feel and somewhat less umph, distance control came easily with the Bat Attack ZT. During this practice, which is built to loosely mimic what you could expect during an 18-hole round, I performed best from 7-18 feet, gaining nearly a stroke on my aspirational 10-handicap benchmark.
I also performed well from close-range with the Bat Attack ZT. In nine holes on the course, I made 9-out-of-10 putts from six feet and in, and avoided 3-putting.
In fact, my Strokes Gained:Putting stat line with the PXG Bat Attack ZT putter turned out to be identical to my performance with the L.A.B OZ.1. In my opinion, that’s the best representation of how the putter performs on the course given the difficulty of the putts faced.

Look, Sound & Feel
The aesthetic of the Bat Attack ZT putter is a home run. The gunmetal finish is stunning and PXG’s minimal use of contrast – the only thing that’s not gunmetal on the head is the alignment aid – gives the Bat Attack ZT a sophisticated appearance.
For players who want a zero torque putter but don’t have an eye for a center-shafted flatstick, the S-Hosel puts this Bat Attack ZT putter the top one or two I would recommend.
The soft feel and low tock at impact are both a departure from what I’m used to, and it’s not the sound and feel I’d pick. However, I was impressed at how little of an adjustment there was to dialing in speed and distance control despite such a different feel from what I’m used to. I’ll admit, after my first few rolls, I had doubts, but I was wrong.
Price, Tech & Specs
The Bat Attack ZT retails for $449, which is consistent with most of today’s zero torque putters.
Two tech stories stand out to me in the Bat Attack. First, the aforementioned S-Hosel is a genius way to achieve a zero-torque profile without forcing players into a center-shafted putter. It’s easy to look at at address.
Next, the Bat Attack ZT is a hollow 303 stainless steel body injected with PXG’s S COR polymer, which is what gives the putter that soft feel at impact, and also helps distribute mass for added forgiveness. Based on my results from mid-to-long range, that forgiveness is certainly working.
Beyond that, there are two adjustable weights in the sole of the putter. That allows players and fitters to adjust the weight of the putter head without sacrificing that zero torque profile.
Who Should Try Bat Attack ZT?
In my first-hand experience, the Bat Attack ZT performs essentially identically to the L.A.B OZ.1, which is undisputedly one of the top competitors in the space. They also start at the same price. So, why should some players consider one over the other? Well, there are a few reasons.
Players who want the benefits of a zero torque putter but are reluctant to switch to a center-shafted model should give the Bat Attack ZT a good hard look. Really, anybody who gravitates to that popular fang head style would be well-served to check it out.
Second, players who prefer a softer-feeling putter would really like the way Bat Attack ZT feels at impact.
I’m also quite impressed with the forgiveness baked into Bat Attack ZT. I hit plenty of putts off the toe and heel, yet never struggled with distance control.
If you fall into any of those categories, Bat Attack ZT just might be a great zero torque putter option for you.
