Where it wins
- Forgiveness86
- Distance84
- Looks82
Watch
Rated highest for forgiveness and distance; its softest dimension is workability.
You want a zero-torque putter that holds the face square for tiny dispersion clusters and you value accuracy over feel.
You want a soft, feedback-rich feel, you putt with an arc, or you want a classic shape at a lower price.
Pros
- PXG's first zero-torque putter - won't open or close relative to path
- Most testers saw a statistical improvement, putts in tiny clusters
- Alignment features testers enjoyed
- Did the zero-torque thing really well - one reviewer shot a lifetime-low round
Cons
- A muted, uninspiring feel - the main trade-off of the design
- Tough to know if you missed the centre - little feedback
- A premium price and a functional rather than classic look
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentExceptional - the zero-torque Allan will not open or close relative to path, making it easier to return the putter square, with most testers seeing a statistical improvement and putts ending in tiny clusters, the torque-free design keeping the face on line. Among the most forgiving putters - a zero-torque head.
Distance
ExcellentA strength - putts went where aimed and ended in tiny clusters, a consistent pace. Among the better putters for distance control.
Workability
ModestZero-torque by design - the Allan's face is vertical, with the CG placed under the shaft axis to generate no torque, so the head will not open or close during the stroke, built to resist manipulation rather than shape putts. Minimal shot-shaping - intentionally non-manipulable by design.
Feel
SolidA weak point - the impact feel is muted and it is tough to know if you missed the centre, the feel and feedback not emotionally fulfilling and the feel off the face not a favourite. Below-average feel - muted and uninspiring, the main trade-off of the zero-torque design.
Sound
StrongMuted and quiet - the impact is muted, a quiet, dampened acoustic that gives little feedback. Below-average sound - a quiet, dampened note with limited feedback.
Looks at address
ExcellentClean and alignment-led - testers enjoyed the alignment features, a clean, modern look that frames the ball. Among the cleaner zero-torque putters, if a functional rather than classic shape.
