Quick Recap: What’s the new PXG Mustang ZT Putter all about?

The PXG Mustang ZT Putter combines zero-torque engineering with a traditional blade profile, creating a uniquely stable and confidence-inspiring putter that blends cutting-edge technology with timeless design.  PXG’s newest addition to the Zero Torque family, the Mustang ZT, is aimed at golfers who love the classic look of a blade but crave the forgiveness and stability of a mallet. With key design features (see above), the Mustang ZT is designed to minimize torque and keep the face square through every stroke. It’s a putter engineered to help golfers start more putts on line, roll the ball more consistently, and feel confident from short range, even if that confidence takes a few rounds to fully sink in.

Let’s break this down in detail and put the PXG Mustang ZT putter to the test across eight key categories:

1.  First Impressions - ⭐⭐⭐⭐(4.5/5)

At first glance, the Mustang ZT feels like a perfect fusion of classic and modern. The Anser-inspired shape gives it that familiar, clean look, while the subtle “mini wings” on the bumpers hint at the hidden tech within. The milling is flawless, and that crisp PXG aesthetic oozes quality. It looks premium and feels substantial, a first impression that screams performance.

2. The ‘No Warm-Up’ Test – Can I Hit a Good Shot Cold? – ⭐⭐⭐⭐(4/5)

Rolling a few putts cold, the Mustang ZT immediately feels firm but incredibly stable. The Zero Torque design does its job, you can tell right away that the face stays square through impact without any need to manipulate your hands. The first few rolls might surprise you with the firmer feedback, but the ball starts online almost automatically.

3. The Confidence Booster – Does This Club Make Me Feel Like a Better Golfer? – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5/5)

Inside 10 feet, this putter is pure confidence fuel. You feel like you can aim, stroke, and watch it drop. The zero-torque engineering helps calm the hands and quiets any micro-adjustments in the stroke. After a few sessions, I started to feel like I could actually trust this putter.  That kind of quiet confidence is exactly what you want standing over a must-make par save.

4. The Sweet Spot Finder – How Often Do You Actually Hit It Pure? – ⭐⭐⭐ (3.5/5)

This is where the Mustang ZT is a bit of a double-edged sword. The feedback is honest...brutally honest at times. When you catch it dead center, it’s one of the truest, smoothest rolls you’ll find. But miss the middle, and you’ll definitely feel it in your hands. It’s not punishing like a true blade, but you’ll know instantly whether you struck it pure.

5. Alignment Support – Help Me, Help You! – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5/5)

PXG nailed the alignment balance on this one. The single white line on the back cavity is simple but effective, and the pronounced leading edge frames the ball perfectly. Even without flashy sightlines or multi-colored contrast, it’s easy to set the face square and feel locked in. It’s the kind of alignment setup that works without you even thinking about it.

6. Forgiveness vs. Punishment: How This Club Handles My Worst Putts – ⭐⭐⭐⭐(4/5)

For a blade-style putter, the Mustang ZT is remarkably forgiving. That’s thanks to the hollow-body design and perimeter weighting that raises the MOI to near-mallet levels. Off-center hits lose some feel and distance, but the ball still holds its line far better than you’d expect. It’s not a “get out of jail free” club, but it gives you a second chance on minor mishits.

7. The Ego Check – Is This Club Too Good for Me? – ⭐⭐⭐ (3.5/5)

This isn’t a putter that hides your flaws. The Zero Torque design will help you keep the face square, but if your stroke is wildly inconsistent, the firm feedback and honest roll will expose it. However, for golfers willing to learn from that feedback, the Mustang ZT can genuinely make you better. It rewards good mechanics and teaches you to groove a stable stroke over time.

8. Will This Club Stay in My Bag? – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4.5/5)

It’s the kind of putter that grows on you the more you use it. The first few rounds you’ll have to adjust to the zero-torque feel and firmer response. But once you adapt, it’s hard to go back to anything else. The consistency and control are addictive.

Final Verdict: Is the PXG Fat Brandon Putter Worth It?

If you’re a golfer who loves the classic blade look but wants the stability of a mallet, the PXG Mustang ZT is an absolute must-try. Its Zero Torque design truly does reduce face rotation, leading to more consistent starting lines and a sense of calm confidence over short putts. The firm face won’t appeal to everyone, but those who appreciate pure feedback will find it incredibly rewarding.

The S-COR polymer, precision milling, and balanced weighting combine to create one of the most stable-feeling blades I’ve ever rolled. It’s not a plug-and-play miracle worker, you’ll need to give it time and perhaps get it custom-fit, but once it clicks, it delivers exactly what PXG promises: control, stability, and confidence on the greens.

The PXG Mustang ZT is the thinking golfer’s putter, engineered for those who want to understand their stroke, improve consistency, and look good doing it. If you can handle a little tough love at first, it might just become the most reliable flatstick you’ve ever owned.
