PXG has added a new version of their Mustang putter to their zero-torque putter line up and that makes me so happy.
My joy erupts not because I am a huge fan of the Mustang. In fact, I find that the Mustang’s blade-with-wings design does not suit my eye very well at address.
There are two reasons I am excited about the Mustang ZT. The first relates directly to this new PXG putter. The second is more of a generalized feeling about the current state of the putter market in general.
PXG is a mighty fine putter company
The first thing that gets me excited about the new PXG Mustang is that it reaffirms my belief that PXG is one of the best putter makers in the industry.
Not only is their current putter catalog one of the largest in the business but they keep updating their current models to meet design trends and consumer demands.
There is no doubt that zero-torque putters are the hottest equipment item in golf these days. Golfers want them and PXG is giving them what they want.
The PXG Allan was one of the first non-L.A.B. Golf zero-torque putters that got people talking.
I’m not really sure why that putter works as well as it does but I do know that its dispersal is measured in inches rather than feet.
PXG followed up the Allan with their Bat Attack ZT and then the Hellcat ZT blade. In every case, the performance of the PXG putter equaled the hype.
I haven’t rolled the Mustang ZT yet but I expect nothing but satisfying rolls once I get it on the green.
I believe most of PXG’s success comes from their outstanding build quality and core suite of assistive technologies. The combination of precision construction, hollow bodies filled with S-COR polymer, Pyramid Face Milling and adjustable weighting just works.
Be it this new Mustang ZT, the fully-milled Fat Brandon or the non-Zero-torque Battle Ready 2 Torpedo, PXG’s putter technologies work.
The PXG Mustang is adorably odd looking
The other thing I love about this new PXG Mustang ZT is that it looks ridiculous. Just look at that thing. It’s a blade with extra flaps on the side and a neck that points backward. For putter purists, it’s an abomination.
I find it adorable.
We are living in a time when outlandish putters are commonplace and, for the most part, they are accepted as the norm by golfers. That is amazing!
It wasn’t too long ago when many golfers would pass on a putter like the Mustang ZT just because it doesn’t look like an Anser or a Rossie. Calling the Anser a “blade” would generate ire in the populous because it didn’t look like an 8802.
Thankfully, those days are behind us. Golfers have learned that odd shapes can be helpful. Putters like the 2-Ball and the Spider unlocked the odd-mallet door and then L.A.B. Golf ripped the door off the hinges.
True story. Last weekend, I was playing golf with my PING Anser. One of the guys in the group looked at my putter and said, “Do you guys remember when we used to play with tiny putters like that?”
All of three of them had mallets of unusual size.
PXG has made versions of the Mustang before but I don’t think people were ready for it. Now that the abnormal is the norm, I can see golfers being much more open, and curious about the new zero-torque version of the Mustang blade.
The PXG Mustang ZT marries funky form and fantastic function
I mentioned that I’m not a huge fan of the Mustang shape. That is a true statement but not in the way that you may think. I love the oddball shape of the Mustang but I don’t aim it very well. Historically, anyway. Perhaps this one will prove different.
I love that the Mustang has a small central portion and wings that flare out past the back edge. I like to think the design began with a typical Anser and then the PXG engineers pounded on all of the edges with a sledgehammer.
I’m sure that is not how the design process went down but I celebrate that we are living in a time when whatever the design process is leads us to putters like the PXG Mustang ZT.
