Golfers are accustomed to using unbalanced "face balanced" and "toe balanced" putters, so using a light grip pressure may not seem like a factor. Yes, grip pressure can prevent the face from opening, but human hands can detect forces as low as a few millinewtons due to the high sensitivity mechanoreceptors and the fine control of motor units in the muscles. The extra tension created by even a light grip can introduce unnecessary tension and reduce a player's ability to apply appropriate force for distance control. Players can putt well with out of balance putters, but it taxes their neurosensory system, which can lead to undesirable results in pressure situations and towards the end of a competitive round. Zero torque putters do not contribute to this type of added stress to a player's sensing abilities. PXG and Odyssey have spent millions developing their versions of zero torque putters due to gaining popularity of this type of design. #Axis1 has the utility patent placing the center of gravity in the center of the striking face and axis of shaft and grip. This design results in a perfectly balanced putter with greater accuracy and force application across the blade on off center hits, according to Quintic ball roll testing. No other company can make this claim, although they may have received a patent for certain design features. The advantage of zero torque may seem small, but the same can be said for putter shafts that show slightly increased accuracy only on long putts where increased force is used. BGT putter shafts are common on tour, and LA Golf, Accra, also have similar features . These shafts may only add a slight amount of accuracy to a stroke, but they are prevalent on all tours. Players want every advantage they can get. If zero torque scalpels were a recent development, you can be surgeons would be using them. A putter is a tool, and a perfectly balanced putter is a more efficient tool than the alternatives.

@@craigfoster8136 And yet...surgeons manage just fine with their unbalanced tools as have a long history of great putters.

Great to hear. The putting setup can also work for bump and run, where there is no wrist hinge required. Don't try the putting grip for a pitch shot, which requires wrist hinge. Putting grip will not hinge, and could cause joint strain. DynAlign can work for pitch shots but lead hand grip is like full shot grip, not the putting grip. Play well.
