This Putter is a Whole New SCIENCE!

[@vincentchiaramonte846]

I bought one, and have used it 4 rounds. Short putts are a no brainier. I have never heard of so many, great putt, from my buddies. Honesty it is an entirely different putter than any putt I have ever owned. When putts go in consistently you quickly forget the price of the putter. Love it, and highly recommend it.

[@QGolfClub]

Very interesting Matt! I am a co-founder at Q but actually my first push into golf tech and brand was in the late 90s and given there is only 1 club in the bag where you are allowed to point the shaft axis at the COG, I was amazed no one was. So I developed the Puku putter brand - which was "center-balanced" as we called this then, and Puku was also the first dedicated belly putter brand, and had an adjustable length mechanism which we got through the USGA and R&A as conforming. (Later we sold this tech to a big brand) The putter was, and is great, but we did not have not enough margin, and made no money, so moved on, and then the belly putter was banned of course !! No regret about the adventure, and I am pleased to see LAB and PXG releasing models that are sensibly balanced. Face balancing is a silly idea, as it has the balance directing the face UP - which is of course perfect if you want to hit a vertical putt. Toe hang is daft too! It's like deliberately designing an out of balance car tire - why would you? Cheers Simon

[@stevenhochman1]

I ordered it but out of stock. Went to a PXG store and bought it. Making putts like never before. Was going to get a LAB but this worked better.

[@GolfOnTap]

"Here is a competitive putter that looks better than a brand that I am not allowed to directly mention in this video review of said putter."

[@xblindfolded]

Yeah I don't quite understand why LAB wasn't mentioned.

It was incredibly tough to watch him dance around saying LAB putters directly. Wish he would have cut the shit and compared them head to head. Sponsored videos are hard watches when they are like this.

[@brianmcpeake2509]

I've always subscribed to "if you can't see the line" you have no chance of making the putt. Technology does help but reading greens and pace control is key.

[@rgrpncs]

It would be great at $200 -$250.

[@protoss7777]

why? except for the brand premium, i do not know why Scotty is better than this?

[@rianconnell3352]

Seriously!!! Fckn over 500 for a putter is fckn crazy. It’s 449 but after the shaft and grip it’s over 500.. if you go to the PXG website you’ll see… 500 bucks on a putter won’t make you a great putter … just sayin

[@jayholiday256]

It’s priced right

[@punisher6]

Thanks for the video Mr. Short game. I just wanted to say my game has gotten better and I've only played like 4 rounds this year. Your chipping video made a big difference

[@grkstud71]

Thanks Matt for the video on this product. I ran down to Lenox today to compare it with mine, and ordered one! During the testing of my Scotty vs. PGX I learned how much I was rotating the face and skidding the ball on putts. I can’t wait for it to be delivered next week!

[@710cwalker]

Got paired up with a guy about 5 months ago who just retired from PXG. He was using this putter he said that it was still a ‘prototype’. Watching him pick up the ball with the bottom of the putter absolutely blew my mind. It looked like magic, or some weird magnet technology.

[@IIISWILIII]

Tried it two days ago. It was weird! A trick of physics cause there's nothing underneath that suggests to the eye that you can pick up a ball.

[@FreakyGolf88]

These PXG putters look absolutely stunning!!!

[@stevemasters8321]

Sure sounds like one

[@mason4683]

Love that other brands are trying to compete with L.A.B. Hope affordable putters with the idea come around

Compete with lab? You act like lab is odyssey or Scotty, in bags all across the country. They are not. They are a boutique brand selling big metal chunks of trash to a cult following.

Looks good- now that you have tested the LAB, PXG and Honu, Do you have an opinion on feel & accuracy, I think I know where you stand on looks.

[@davidgeorge5344]

Only as good as the person holding it. I could definitely miss with it 🤭.

[@aarontooley570]

Hi Matt! Is this putter going in the bag?

[@wickdghost3639]

I have an edel torque balanced putter, it's a blade putter, has some awesome looking milling with large needle bearings stacked for the sweet spot and a heel weight. It's very very forgiving and just wants to stay straight and level. I made it into an arm lock and it was the best thing I ever did. It was an awesome putter already and when I made an old blade into an arm lock for fun, it really gave me the reason to do the same to my edel. I'm down to maybe two 3 putts a round. And I've had multiple roundS with zero 3 putts. Torque balanced putters are the future for sure.

[@billhart]

Got fitted after watching this video and rolled it for the first time today. So stable - love it!

[@jonathandeboer74]

After putting with my new custom fit LAB LINK.1 putter for an hour or two I am a believer in the balancing technology. Just keep your hands quiet and focus on speed, it feels so much easier.

[@cobyabbygayle]

I am a true believer that I don't care what putter you use it starts with you. I have golf with guys that have had the same putter for over 10 yers and putt like pro's. Just a thought. Love your channel. never miss a post.

[@walterdurand9472]

Looks great I play PXG and will definitely try the Allan out , nice job thanks once again for your insight to a great game

[@pschilleru]

While most compare it to the LAB putter, don't forget that Axis1 was the first in the balanced game. I am definitely going to the Atlanta PXG store and try it. I just don't know if I can justify the price. BTW Matt Russell is a great fitter at the PXG Atlanta store.

[@NathanExplosion99]

Or the Honu putter. I have one, it's great.

[@Richie3Jack]

There is no comparison. LAB has put the PXG Allen putter in the 'revealer' and it doesn't even come close to staying square to the arc and thus is *not* lie angle balanced and therefore does *not* have zero torque. You can even see it early in the video when Matt is 'spinning' the putter and there's noticeable torque of the putter. LAB putters don't spin like that.

[@pschilleru]

My first round with the Allan putter yesterday and had 9 one putts varying 4 to 20 feet! Love it - PXG has a winner.

[@IIISWILIII]

Got to putt with one of these a couple of days ago. It was impressive! Quality of a Betti and a cross between a Spider and a LAB. I couldn't hit anything with it tho. I'm an arm lock guy so it wasn't set up for me. It's a great contrarian choice for those who like to roll high end putters. I can see one of these in my bag in the future. But there was nothing magical about putting with it. It felt like any other putter

[@jott1717]

I'm sure all the people who liked Adams Clubs felt superior till real companies used their technology better and in a cleaner more aesthetically pleasing club

[@ryanu3708]

I dunno. I’ve been a feel putter for 50 years and these “balanced” mallets absolutely force me to be mechanical. I would have to go through quite an adjustment period and that’s a change I’m not committed to make until I see some raw data instead of anecdotal chit-chat. Guys at my club have been using LAB’s for a while and their handicap indices are still the same. Just like they’ve been every year for the last twenty despite spending a fortune on new equipment every season.

[@kalindatchev994]

If only Adam Scott had sunk a few putts at the BMW last round back 9... :(

[@randallpennington5976]

I can’t wait to try this and the LAB putter, but the PXG looks better visually!

[@kalindatchev994]

[@fitzgerald1337x]

this putter is not zero torque. i've seen it in a revealer and it twists.

[@gregbarthjr9621]

Thank you for this review video. I've been reading a lot of people that believe this competes with LAB. Personally I believe this is most similar to the Axis 1 putter. Probably most competitive with that brand. Please compare this Allan Putter to the Axis 1 Rose, a LAB D3.2, and your Honu putter. Keep up the great work.

[@thecman26]

James Robinson just had that putter on his channel. It looks amazing! The ball trick sure is cool!

[@blakeg.1093]

[@settjessettje9323]

I like the bonus pick up About $300 over my budget.

[@charliesmithers7663]

Very interesting Matt. I have a PXG Hellcat. Absolutely love it & for the price point over here in the UK £125 ($165) I think it is really good value. These Allan putters are £450 over here ($600) so significantly higher, same price as Scotty Cameron's. As always with putting there is a huge element of it being the driver not the car. I think PXG make some really top level gear & would certainly recommend them. Will be interesting to see if people here would pay that

[@andyr5389]

How come you are not on pxg site as an ambassador? You got to be sponsored by now.

[@MoeJetz31]

To act like you have only seen the one LAB putter that looks odd and none of their newer models is bonkers.

[@RonBrumleve]

I like how PXG has made a zero-torque putter with a "regular" shaft and grip, instead of the angled shafts in the "press grips" used by L.A.B. Golf.

[@frankielambardo9268]

Put it in the "Revealer" and we'll see if it has zero torque.

[@jakesells2379]

They did on the LAB channel, and the Allen swims around quite a bit.

[@Mav...]

$449!!!! What do you think is their cost and profit margin? I bet they make that putter for under $75. That price is crazy.

[@tomnelson8515]

I think PXG made a mistake not making it the most expensive putter in the market. the most important thing to the average golfer is to project their wealth to others .

[@murphaa9564]

The odyssey 2 ball blade is the best putter ever invented....If you haven't tried one you're really missing out!

[@richdouglas2311]

This putter looks revolutionary. But I use a Bloodline putter, which stands up on its own so you can look at the line from behind the ball and check face alignment, too. That's hard to give up.

[@bournefree]

I do believe that putter is banned in 2025

[@richdouglas2311]

@@bournefree That was news to me, so I looked up the rule. The putter isn't banned, but using it as a stand-up is. You can still use it like you would a conventional putter. You just can't stand it up and walk behind the putter--which is its sole purpose. I'm surprised the delay in implementing the rule is so short. These putters retailed for almost $500 (and I have two of them--one heel-shafted and one center-shafted). That's all wasted now. I really feel bad for the manufacturer, Bloodline, since that's their main business. I hate putting. I'm a good putter, but I think it's dumb and and out-sized part of the game. It's foreign to every other aspect of the game, which is why they have to keep coming up with rules to restrict it--rules that only apply to putting. Whether it's technique--like croquet-style or anchoring (which they banned)--or technology (banning stand up putters, belly putters), innovators keep beating the putting game and the USGA keeps putting it all back the way it was. And it's not like you can just ignore it. Until most equipment, it's pretty obvious you're using it in a non-conforming manner. And I've never been interested in using or doing anything that is against the rules. But this is the first one that has ever affected me and I'm not pleased. Not at all. I used to use a Happy Putter because of its incredible adjustability (loft, lie, weighting). I still have one--I hope I still have the accessories. Otherwise, I guess I'm heading over to PXG. Gee, great.

I made my own "zero torque putter" and it cost less than £35 for all the materials, it took me around 2 hours to make, so at £20 per hour, that would give a total cost of £75. In the UK the PGX Allan S-Hosel Golf Putter retails for £429 Maybe it should be called the PGX rip-off! You have to have more money than sense to buy these branded putters.

[@semperfi5857]

How does one make a zero torque putter?

[@jamesstevens1972-q2v]

​@@semperfi5857 Align the components so on the swing and the strike there is a balanced club and no torque is present to cause the putter head to move from the alignment that you lined the shot up from. Most clubs are not balanced and when you swing and hit the ball the forces involved cause the club head to move out of alignment with the desired head position. With most putters’ players end up subconsciously adjusting for the torque and this builds in variability. With a no torque club you have to learn to swing the club in a natural stroke without adjustment, and then the putter does all the work for you - simple. However, I am not going to give away my secrets of how I achieve a balanced club as that is where I will make my profit, and the patent is currently being drawn up.

Mr SG is a scratch golfer-level putt'r whatever putter he uses. I doubt if the tool, no matter how trick'd up, makes much diff. Personally, I'll stick w my Bettinardi Hogan; it (a brick on a stick) feels right and I putt @ 1.5/green w it. Being a steady, consistently good putter is c. 95% drill/practice and 5% club. Incidentally, when I'm using my indoor 24' putting rug my target is a soup can 25% SMALLER than the 4+1/4" golf hole. Which makes the real target, on practice green or course, look and play 25% larger. Which means: 25% better putting.
