Club designer Chris McGinley traces putting evolution through 5 historic breakthroughs, showing how modern engineering evolved from toe-weighted blades to zero torque and forward axis weighting like the Performance Golf RS1 to keep the face square.
Their scorecard
Face Balance: 4/5 — First center-shafted face-balanced putter
Alignment Aid: 2/5
Head Shape: 2/5
What they rate
75% forward axis weighting actively prevents face drift during the stroke
Face-down balance completely eliminates open toe flow
Takes zero-torque technology a step further into active face correction
What they don’t
Unique forward balance feel requires practice to get accustomed to
