Last year we reviewed the brand new Kinetixx ZERO TRQ Putter Shaft and it has become a THP forum favorite by those that have picked it up. Unique without question, this shaft is high technology with an interesting story to boot.
Putter shafts, and really shafts in general are a difficult thing to review. While we can speak on the the fit and the benefits, along with the data, the story goes deeper in nearly every aspect.
In this episode of Tech Talk, we breakdown the technology behind ZERO TRQ putter shaft by Kinetixx. From there we discuss how it differs from standard putter shafts most are using and of course take a deep dive into how it will perform and react in your hands. Is graphite different than steel? Is there a performance difference overall? And why does torque make a difference?
Have you explored the world of putter shafts whether it be traditional steel or graphite? Have you tried a Kinetixx product? Is the ZERO TRQ something that you think would work for your game?
For more information on the Kinetixx ZERO TRQ or any of the products the company is putting out currently, make sure you check out their website at www.kinetixxgolf.com.
Enjoyed this conversation and the discussion around why it makes a difference and how a putter shaft can influence feel so much.
It’s eye opening. The only thing I hope to see from them down the road is a longer option for different installs, and it would be fantastic to see if Kinetixx could take on the over-hosel design like others have begun to with their graphite options.
Graphite putter shafts are something I have never tried but would like to some day.
This one will currently only fit plumbers neck styles correct? @Briton G was talking about throwing one in an Edel 1.5 and I bet that’s going to be deadly.
Whenever I roll this guy, I always think how different it feels without being able to describe how.
It can be used in any internal hosel setup. So, you could put one in a SeeMore (with no weight spud) for example, or a slant neck with an inner-hosel top.
But, raw it’s only 34”, so that needs to be kept in mind for final length.
What I’ve been saying in these putter shaft reviews for years and years now. ?
I’ve noticed with the zero trq when I make a good stroke, I get really really good results. so like 9 or 10 straight putts are great, just what I want, even if i’m not right in the sweet spot.
But then if i hitch or decel or try to get handsy to adjust something in the stroke I feel like I get more punished, because the head does exactly that.
Not sure i’ve quite looked at it that way before, bit i’m going to think about it now.
definitely agree it’s more pleasing sound/feel with a deeper milled head. and i’d assume with a soft insert.
Sometimes people make poor decisions.
I kid I kid.
I just went and surfed the Kinetixx website, but only see the Tuned Red or Tuned Blue options; red being standard and blue counterbalanced. Is the Zero Trq a separate model from that line?
If you message them and tell them you are a THPer they will sell direct. Otherwise places like Club Champion have this available.
yes, not on website. have to call/email and tell them you’re a THP’er

And while you’re here, you should join the albatross club! Best membership in golf!
This thread and this post is just another great reason why it’s so awesome to be a THPer!
This was one expensive review video!
Well that arrived quickly! Already have the shaft in hand. Looks great! Now I just need to figure out a grip.
Haha, that’s a bummer! It’s why I’ve constantly tried to mention that in the article review and this convo with Dan as well. It’s only limitation imo is it’s limitation of neck types it can be used with.
I thought they may have been able to sand it down and get around that but nope. All good. Bought another one this morning for take two.
Do it! Honestly for this quality of shaft it compares to LA Golf which is 2-3x the cost.
