I bought a real one from Homebase last December.
It was a very well balanced classic shape, good colour, no needle drop and great value.
Zero Torque Putters? Is it hype or a thing?

But did it twist when you put the decorations on???

Well yes, but it was my actions that was causing the twisting.
After putting on all decorations and making a few adjustments it retained a well balanced shape.
5ft Nordmann Fir.
I'm looking forward to another fitting for Christmas 2025.

It's often not the tree, but the stand I struggle with.
I think that is the best summing up of zero torque putters ever guys. Conclusion reached.

I have a B&Q stand.
It works fine with a 5ft trunk and should cope well with a 6ft. Getting it centred requires some experience and practice. Natural ability not withstanding.
Anything longer than 6ft is likely to be wider and heavier overall and this could affect stability. A higher spec stand might be required in that case.

I believe 6ft is the cut off point, above that you are more likely to have a bit of lean. Even professional tree installers struggle over 6ft.

Sometimes, even with 5ft, I've needed to employ a bit of deliberate lean, because the tree has uneven spread of boughs.
This is the only way to achieve stability and get CoG directly over centre of base stand.
Appearance is OK if the gentle lean is directly towards or away from the usual viewing angle.
Last Xmas, the tree was very even and easy to erect.

Now this thread has just got silly.
I've come late to the party on this one (I saw the thread and thought it was an old one that had been resurrected).....but it has tempted me to dig out my old LAB DF 2.1 from the cellar and put it into play tomorrow.
Why dont I play it? Its too light and has an unpleasant "ting" to it at impact....doesnt feel solid at all. LAB may have improved matters in this respect with their more recent offerings but I've not been tempted to try them.

Part of the cleverness is in the name. The acronym of their main proponent doesnt claim it, but it is still suggestive of laboratory, science, technical putting development innovation. i.e. that there is a scientifically foundation to these putters. A putter, grown in a test tube, by boffins in white coats, with precision specialist tools to validate the genius.
Genius really. Genius marketing that is.

Yes.
I did the fitting myself.

I recently bought a Scotty Phantom 5S… because it’s one of the most “face balanced” putters that they make 
I had 27 putts the other day

I always find this stat a bit skewed unless you hit every green in regulation, but that’s a topic for a different thread.

Zero torque putters are being lauded as the next big thing in golf equipment but how does the concept actually work and what are the benefits?
