LAZRUS LAZ2.5 Zero Torque Putter: Quick Specs & Buying Snapshot

The “LAZRUS LAZ2.5 Mallet ZT Putter” is best understood as an evolution of the official LAZ2 Zero Torque Mallet Putter. It is for golfers wanting Tour-style zero torque technology at a lower-than-Tour price.

Design & Build: A Mallet Putter Built for Perfect Balance

The LAZ2.5 is a high-stability mallet putter, not a compact blade. The design goal is simple: more stability, less twisting, and better distance control for the short game.

The LAZ2 putter features an anodized finish, which enhances its durability and provides a premium aesthetic appeal. The putter is designed with a balanced 365-gram head weight, which contributes to its stability and smooth tempo during the putting stroke.

The LAZ2.5 builds add a heavy 378g head and rear perimeter weights to reduce energy loss and dispersion on mis-hits. Enhanced visual guides on the putter assist golfers in squaring the face to their target line. The shape is closer to face balanced putters and a center shafted putter than most putters with toe hang, with the shaft axis placed near the center of mass for perfect balance.

Zero Torque Technology Explained

Zero torque means the shaft axis aligns with the putter head’s center of gravity so the head does not want to twist open or closed. More precisely, the center of gravity in zero-torque putters is positioned directly below the shaft axis, which helps to fully remove torque from the putter head.

A traditional torque putter, whether a blade or torque mallet putter, often has toe hang and needs hand timing. The LAZ2.5 zero torque putter tries to remove that manipulation. When the shaft axis aligns perfectly with the balance point, the putter face is easier to keep square.

Standard mallets rely on high Moment of Inertia (MOI) to handle off-center hits, but the LAZ2.5 eliminates twisting motion, enhancing short putt performance. That is the promise of a true zero torque design: fewer pushes, fewer pulls, and more confidence over 3–8 footers.

On-Course Performance: Roll, Feel & Forgiveness

On real greens, the LAZ2.5 concept makes the most sense when you hit a few putts from different distances. The stroke feels solid, and the roll feels pure when contact is centered.

The milled aluminum face produces a firm, connected strike. The LAZ2.5 offers a strong, connected auditory feedback at impact for distance control, which helps you know whether the ball came off the center or slightly toward the heel or toe.

The big benefit is forgiveness. It is one of the most forgiving putters I have tested.

The head resists twisting, so the golf ball tends to hold its start line better than with many other putters. Softer urethane balls feel muted; firmer ionomer covers add a little click, but the roll remains predictable. In short, it putts great when you let the putter built around zero torque do the work.

Adjustability, Options & Customization

This is not a fully modular fitting system, but Lazrus Golf gives enough options for a perfect fit. The LAZ2.5 putter offers customization options, including left-hand or right-hand orientation, allowing it to cater to every golfer’s preference.

Customers can choose from nine different head color options for the LAZ2.5 putter, allowing for a personalized aesthetic. In buyer language, golfer head color choices are a real part of the appeal, especially if you like matching your headcovers, bag, irons, clubs, and golf clubs.

The LAZ2.5 putter allows for custom shaft lengths, enabling golfers to dial in the perfect fit for their putting stroke. Optional custom engraving is available, allowing golfers to personalize their putter with initials, names, or messages. If the stock putter grip feels too thin, a thicker grip can quiet the hands and improve consistency.

Price, Value & How It Compares to Other Putters

The LAZRUS LAZ2.5 competes directly with premium zero-torque putters but is significantly lower in price.

Zero torque designs cost more than basic off-the-rack clubs because they require precision engineering, advanced engineering, careful CG alignment, premium craftsmanship, and a premium finish. Lazrus Golf’s direct-to-consumer model is the value angle.

Compared with an entry mallet like the Infinite Buckingham, the LAZ2.5 focuses less on simple MOI and more on torque reduction. Compared with ultra-premium ZT models, it offers similar principles without a $500+ bill. The putter provides a risk-free trial period with a 30-day money-back guarantee and free shipping in the US and Canada.

Lazrus Laz2.5 Alternatives

L.A.B. Golf Directed Force 2.1 Putter - L.A.B. Golfs original zero torque putter. It is one of my personal favorites, but the Lazrus zero torque putter is much more aesthetically pleasing, and less expensive.

Scotty Cameron Zero Torque Putter - The Scotty Cameron is a beautiful putter that performs exceptionally well, but it comes with a $550 price tag.

L.A.B. Golf DF3 Putter - Excellent performance. In my opinion it is the best Lab putter available today, but still considerably more expensive than the Laz2.5.

Odyssey Ai-One Square 2 Square Jailbird Putter - Similar performance to the Laz2.5, but at a much higher price.

Odyssey Ai-One Square 2 Square Double Wide - Odyssey's Zero torque blade style putter. I prefer the performance of the Laz2.5.

L.A.B. Golf Mezz.1 Max Putter - Looks very similar to the Laz2.5 and performs very well, but costs much more.

L.A.B. Golf Oz Putter - Also looks very much like the Laz2.5 and performs flawlessly, but very expensive.

Taylormade Spider ZT Putter - Taylormade's zero torque putter performed very well in our testing and tops the list of best zero torque putters, but again, it is much more expensive than the Laz2.5.

As you can see, the big difference between the Lazrus Laz 2.5 zero torque putter and other zero torque putters is price. The Laz 2.5 is significantly less expensive, making it an ideal choice for beginners and other golfers looking for a budget putter.

Best of all, It is made in the USA!

Who Should Consider the LAZ2.5 – And Who Might Not

Consider the LAZ2.5 if you miss short putts right and left, feel the head twisting, or want a quality putter that promotes repeatable putting. Using a zero-torque putter can help reduce inconsistencies and improve confidence in putting, especially when matched to a golfer’s stroke and properly fitted.

It is less ideal if your stroke has a strong arc and you prefer the release sensation of toe hang. For those players, the same way face balanced designs can feel different, zero torque may feel “locked in” at first.

My advice for getting started using the Laz 2.5 Putter

Your first time out with the Laz 2.5, try to spend some time on the putting green getting used to the feel of the zero torque technology.

I would advise doing some putting drills to acclimate yourself to the putter.

These are the drills I would do:

• Ladder drill from 10, 20, 30, and 40 feet for distance control.

• Gate drill from 4 feet to train start line.

• Circle drill from 3–6 feet to build pressure putting confidence.

Then take it on the golf course and play an 18 hole round with it. It will take a little time to get used to.

Stick with it for several rounds. Zero-torque putters are designed to eliminate twisting of the clubface during the stroke, ensuring it remains square to the intended line, but your eyes and hands still need time to adapt.

Final Thoughts And Verdict

I was very impressed with how the Laz2.5 performed, given the very inexpensive price. I have tested just about every zero torque putter on the market and I can confidently recommend the Laz2.5 to any golfer interested in taking advantage of this technology without breaking the bank.

FAQ

Is the LAZRUS LAZ2.5 legal for tournament play?

The LAZ2.5 zero torque putter is designed to conform to USGA and R&A rules for official competitions, club events, and handicap rounds. If you need written confirmation, check the USGA equipment rules or contact Lazrus Golf before an event.

How does LAZ2.5 differ from the earlier LAZ2 Zero Torque Mallet Putter?

The LAZ2.5 is an evolution of the LAZ2, with subtle balance, alignment, and head-weight refinements. Official LAZ2 specs confirm the 6061 aluminum head, anodized finish, 365g head weight, True Temper shafts, nine colors, and custom shaft length options; LAZ2.5 shares all of that with a heavier 378g setup.

Will a zero torque putter fix all my putting problems?

No. A zero torque design can reduce face rotation and improve consistency, but it will not fix poor green reading, bad speed control, or an unstable setup by itself. Think of it as a tool that makes good mechanics easier to repeat.

Can I use the LAZ2.5 if I have an arcing stroke?

Yes, if your arc is mild. Golfers with a pronounced arc may need time to adjust because the putter wants to stay square rather than release like a toe-hang blade.

How do I know if the LAZ2.5 length and grip are right for me?

Use posture, eye line, and comfort as your first checks. If your putts feel shaky, try a thicker grip. If the feel seems dead, a slimmer grip may restore more feedback and unmatched feel.
