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.  To learn more about Pete's Golf, visit their website here: https://www.petesgolf.com/https://www.petesgolf.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
