Summary

In this episode, Jon and Adam are joined by club-fitting experts Woody Lashen and Sonny Burgo from Pete's Golf to unpack what’s really going on with the surge in zero-torque style putters, most notably from L.A.B. Golf. They explain who these putters can genuinely help, who they can hurt, and why no putter technology is ever a one-size-fits-all solution. The conversation expands into how elite fitters think about face rotation, weight, loft, grip styles, and even the yips—and why confidence and predictability matter more than chasing trends. A wide-ranging, myth-busting discussion that shows why great putting is less about buying the “right” putter and more about matching the tool to the player.
