RS1 Putter's Forward Axis Weighting: Plain Physics vs LAB Zero Torque
Key Takeaways Forward Axis Weighting in the Performance Golf RS1 concentrates over 75% of its 360-gram head weight in the front 25% of the clubhead, pulling the center of gravity forward of the shaft to actively pull the face toward square LAB Golf's Zero Torque putters, including the DF3, place the center of gravity directly on the shaft axis so the face has no gravitational pull in either direction, offering passive neutrality instead of active correction The RS1's active correction tends to show up most on short putts inside 10 feet, where face angle mistakes turn into missed cups fastest Choosing between active correction and passive neutrality comes down to whether a golfer's stroke has a directional tendency or is already technically sound Independent testers have reported measurable gains in face angle consistency with the RS1, though matching the technology to stroke type still matters more than marketing claims Two putters, two different theories about what causes ...
