Putters
The zero-torque revolution and everything else happening on the green — reviewed and explained.
PuttOut vs Perfect Practice: one of these mats has no hole in it, the other has two and a ball return
Both are sold as putting mats and they are not the same product. One has no hole in it. The other has two, and neither of them is the size of a golf hole.

Odyssey White Hot OG Rossie vs Tri-Hot 5K Double Wide: a face insert from 2000 against tungsten in the sole
Two Odyssey putters sit on the same rail for almost the same money and answer opposite questions. One is built around a face insert from the year 2000, the other around tungsten in the sole. The tiebreaker is not your stroke arc.

Evnroll EZPZ vs L.A.B. DF3: delete the torque, or control it?
Two putters, two opposite answers to the same problem. The DF3 removes face rotation entirely; the EZPZ slows it down and keeps a normal putter's look. Your stroke decides which is right.

Evnroll EZPZ review: the putter for everyone who tried zero torque and put it straight back
Guerin Rife watched the industry spend two years chasing zero torque and has shipped the opposite idea. It looks normal at address, which is the entire point.

Everyone spent two years chasing zero torque. Evnroll just went the other way
The EZPZ Reverse Torque putter goes on sale today with a premise that sounds like a typo: torque in a putter isn't the enemy, and removing all of it was never the point.

Ten of the sixteen Scotty Camerons on tour are putters you can't buy
We counted the putters in 49 current tour bags. The gap between what the best players use and what the shop will sell you is real, it is much bigger for some brands than others, and it should change how you shop.

Tour putters quietly got enormous while club golfers kept buying blades
The best strikers alive putt with the most forgiving heads in golf. The golfer who actually needs the forgiveness buys a slim blade because it looks right at address. That is backwards, it isn't really a taste question, and in 2026 there is no good reason left for it.

Is a milled putter worth it? What the milling actually buys you
Milling buys you feel, sound, tolerance and a putter that will outlive you. It does not buy you accuracy, and the 2026 data points somewhere else entirely.

The Open starts today — and it'll be won with the club you practise least
By Sunday, Royal Birkdale's trophy won't go to whoever bombs it furthest. It'll go to whoever controls the ball on and around firm, wind-scoured greens. Links golf is a short-game championship — and it's a live rebuke to every amateur grinding the driving range.
