According to a world leading putting coach, golfers have some amount of torque, or twisting motion, in their putting stroke. Twisting can cause the putter face to open and close in relation to the club path during the stroke, and make it more difficult to time the amount of rotation so the club is square at impact.
In addition to torque in the stroke, there is torque in putters that are face balanced or with varying amounts of toe hang.
Torque in both the golfer and in the putter can make it difficult to square the putter face at impact because precise timing of the clockwise and counter-clockwise twisting motion is required. In pressure situations, a golfer may find it more even difficult to start a putt on the correct line.
There are two ways to make it easier for a golfer to have consistency in their stroke. First by using a putter that is designed to have zero torque, which allows the clubface to remain square during a stroke. Second, a golfer can use a stroke that does not contain torque, and makes it easier to maintain square alignment of the putter face throughout a putting stroke.
